After reviewing the Wiki, since I couldn’t remember either — apparently the Black Flash finally caught up with him and ‘sploded his heart, destroying him and all the other time remnants of himself that he was using as an army. So that should’ve been the end of him forever and ever, amen.

BUT that was all pre-Crisis, so…

Nightflyers was adapted, more than once actually. I haven’t seen the 1987 film, but the SyFy series a few years ago was... OK, I guess. I’d’ve watched a second season if there had been one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightflyers_(TV_series)

The thing that drives me crazy is that EOBARD THAWNE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THAT. Apparently he altered his appearance to look like Tom Cavanaugh in every timeline and never bothered to change it back, but his for-real face belongs to Matt Letscher, and I get why you want to bring back the actor who played a beloved…

So I was all set for Gwyn Davies to be against installing a guidance system for the time machine — what happened to his iron conviction that God inspired him to build the time machine in order to take him where God needed him to be? Maybe he’s decided that God is acting through Sarah Lance (or is Sarah Lance, because…

Considering how many supervillains just waltzed into S.T.A.R. despite it being a super-secret meta-team base, it was probably only a matter of time anyway. But it doesn’t really add up that Chester, who’s still nursing an inferiority complex about his place on the team, just says “Oh hey, looks like our radiation…

Shades of the Damien Darkh season of Arrow, where Oliver had something like 3 or 4 pointless skirmishes with his invulnerable opponent in a dozen episodes, got his ass handed to him every time, and never came up with a plan other than “We have to find him, and stop him!” until somebody finally suggests taking away the…

Oh I definitely plan to be near the bottom of the pile of bodies when the Big One comes; I don’t even want to spend 48 hours of my life without electricity. No leather bike shorts and war paint for this guy.

I already can’t remember whether Jimmy John’s takes an apostrophe or not (I have to check every time, which is why I got it right) and this is only going to make matters worse. Plus, I live in Chicago, where you already go to the Jewel’s and the Costco’s to pick up groceries. How am I to cope? How?!

I’m reminded of an interview with Grant Morrison from years ago where he compared the fandoms of Batman and Superman comics. To paraphrase:

“Man, fuck Kanye! I don’t mean that. Yeah I do!”

It is billed as “an occasionally true story,” indeed. But more seriously, I am no longer certain that time is a thing, because I happened to catch Super 8 on cable the other day and Elle Fanning is in that. Clearly she is still a child and not a grown-up person at all, because the alternative — I am old and getting…

I’ll just share my top 5 6 reactions since most of them have been expressed already — I didn’t get caught up until yesterday evening:

1. I did not like the super-bold eye makeup choice for Lena’s wedding outfit. I also do not like the super-bold eye makeup that is part of Sentinel’s costume. I do not know why this is a…

The way a lot of people felt about Ted Lasso last year is how I felt about Joe Pera Talks With You since discovering it in 2019. Every damn day with our former president in office was a struggle to find some kind of peace and breathing space, and for 11 minutes once a week, Joe Pera could narrow my field of concern…

Somebody forgot to put his pumpkin in the river so his soul could grow back.

I did enjoy how she showed up at the end and started giving him (maybe all of them?) the beating he/they so richly deserved.

Cecily Strong’s “commercial announcer” voice is a potent secret weapon for the show. In sketch comedy you almost always have to live with “reminds you of the thing,” but Cecily Strong IS the thing.

The people with all the money would like it if you could see your way clear to giving them some more money, yes.

And my favorite low-key hilarious moment was how, after Sara and Ava kissed, Ava immediately knew what was bothering the crowd: “We’re not sisters.” She knew that fake news was going to come back to haunt them!

It’s a little weird when a character becomes less creepy after revealing that he’s actually a tentacled alien who occasionally eats people, but that’s Legends for you.

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…
