There are things that I love that I just have the hardest time rewatching because of the feelings stuff like this stir in me.

I feel like I remember that. There was sort of an explosion of these sorts of tales in the 90s. They'd adopt the cruel punchline endings and callous disregard for the characters but would skip over the humor entirely. Which is probably why almost none of them are well-remembered today. It's weird recognizing that sort…

I've always had this problem to the point that even disaster movies got tough to watch because my empathy would extend to faceless pixels amongst walls of destruction.

That and the casual way the narrative clearly didn't care. And neither did my peers. So it felt like I was stuck in my own nightmare scenario.

I was never bothered by the spooks and monsters in these books as much as the existential horror that was lurking under the surface of the entire franchise.

I was always more bothered by the fact that the world being fated to end in the year 2000. Him being able to wipe his sister from existence meant that the clock mysteriously stopping at that year was more portent than curiosity.

I remember Keystone/Central being roughly where Athens was for a bit. The show puts it on the West Coast since Star City is analogous to Seattle. Making Flash a very weird and not that great expy-Portland (if you're removing filmed exteriors shot in Portland from the picture.)

I'm okay with a midwest Metropolis since the original Metropolis in the comics was just a renamed version of Cleveland.

The AV Club's review?

It was made for the comic I'm working on http://starhammercomic.com

I guess I'm the only one here who's fully onboard with this film.

My world seems to get smaller everyday. Glad I've been able to meet your acquaintance. Kristen is really cool and indeed a fantastic artist

Whoa whoa whoa! You're Kristen's boyfriend? I've heard a lot about you but didn't realize it was you!

You did get an Alamo Drafthouse though. That counts for something

Even Drew Carey shat on us a few times and he's from Cleveland.

Well, we created that show. And That 70s Show. And 3rd Rock From the Sun. I feel like we have a better claim to getting something than a lot of our neighbors, but for the most part we're either ignored or derided even by our own citizens.

Battle Creek, Michigan gets a whole series on CBS that people will enjoy while Toledo, Ohio can't even get tossed a bone on History Channel without goading people into trash-talk.

We had one. Maybe two. At least one spot on World's Wildest Police Chases and a segment on America's Most Wanted.

That's usually how my city works. It's a joke if ever mentioned at all. This is literally the only show that was set there. So I feel your pain.

I've never watched this series. My only investment in it being on tv was the fact that it was apparently set in a very inaccurate version of my hometown. The first and only series to be able to make that claim. Probably the last as well.
