I mean, the entire raison d’etre for the Legends is that there are people who can be plucked from the timeline and jerked around without causing major complications, right? Yes, it’s better if you ask Gideon first before you start meddling, but it would surprise me if almost everybody wasn’t that kind of person, even…

Two episodes in a row with live-action Gideon, and two episodes in a row where she sings.

Kara went to the future in the beloved (by me at least) Justice League Unlimited cartoon as well. (Partly because she had a crush on Brainiac-5!)

Given the rest of your post, I am not going to recommend Cougar Town to you, because it’s a fun low-stakes hangout comedy from Bill Lawrence (the man behind Spin City, Scrubs and Ted Lasso) and if you want to call that “mediocrity,” that’s your prerogative. But even Abed from Community liked it, and he knew a thing or…

Meta-Matt LeBlanc from Episodes was almost as much fun as meta-James Van Der Beek from Don’t Trust the Bitch In Apt. 23, in my book. The former ran longer (it had the advantage of being on Showtime) and the latter was less grounded in reality, but both actors took the opportunity to play heightened versions of…

“I’m gonna say no to the meat blob getting a mouth. Mostly because I don’t want to hear what it has to say.”

This is true, but don’t forget that both Lem and Veronica were mined for family drama, two hilarious and compelling characters who had plenty of other fun stuff to be doing. (And maybe they should have done more, because that show only lasted 2 brilliant seasons.)

1. I have a sneaking suspicion that QT’s sensibility is riiiight on the edge of getting him canceled if he doesn’t gracefully retire from public life soon. Eventually some Twitter person or other is going to demand an apology for all those N-words and his fascination with blaxploitation while being a nerdy white guy…

A show about a crazy world with lots of lore and backstory to explore 100% will (and probably should and must) “ground” itself by making the protagonists neurotic weirdos distracted by their mommy/daddy issues, just like the people who write them, and spending lots and lots of time on that. There is no scripted TV…

This is certainly possible and even likely, but the MCU has also been seeding pass-the-torch moments from more current comics continuity (Ironheart, a.k.a. Riri Williams, will be debuting in the Black Panther sequel next year and already has a D+ series coming) so IMO there really never needs to be “another”…

Two and a half, at least. The Hand ruins the back half of Daredevil S2, but the front half with Daredevil vs. the Punisher was good stuff.

The character work and the banter between the various co-stars was definitely a highlight — for me at least, Foggy and Karen meeting Misty Knight and Colleen Wing is as delightful as the Daredevil/Jones frenmity — and it almost manages to defeat how boring and dumb everything related to the Hand was.

Minister! Minister! Same question, only “-sex” and pornography culture?

It’s getting a little icky the way the bad guys keep fixating on Barbara to have their vulnerable moments with. She needs more to do on this show.

I thought it was a little weird that we seemingly just got Supergirl back from the Phantom Zone, and now we’ve got Stargirl trapped in more or less the same situation. I’ve read too many comics to complain much about a recycled predicament, but still...

Yep, and I didn’t know myself until I Googled. Fuhrmann wasn’t in very many scenes and didn’t have very many lines (although her presence at Tony Stark’s funeral was memorable) so I suppose they decided they needed something different in the new film.

It’ll be nice to get to know (a new) teenage post-Blip Cassie, but Kathryn Newton has some big shoes to fill, because Abby Ryder Fortson was maybe the most adorable kid in the entire MCU. She steals almost every scene she’s in through both of those first two Ant-Man films.

It’s also the job of a critic to do a close reading of the source material, and to interrogate their own assumptions when evaluating it. They don’t have to like it and they’re certainly entitled to say they don’t, but if the reasons they don’t like it are based on faulty assumptions about a) what the text says and/or…

Well, this is the best Impy & Chimpy news I’ve heard all day!

Roth has long had a Yogi Berra-like gift for malapropisms, though. I recall an interview from years ago where he dismissed the difficulty of whatever he was doing (maybe when he took a second career as an EMT) by saying “It’s not rocket surgery.” There he’s clearly combining two existing sayings, “not rocket science”…
