They did get permission etc… from his family before doing it though.

The lady who played Mon Motha was also cast for Mon Motha in III, but all of her scenes got cut.

For me it was more the delivery than the words.

It can be two things.

Thank you for articulating some of my feelings about The Force Awakens.

They did get permission from his estate to bring him back though.

"Simply put, it’s tough to give a damn about these fictional people, good or bad. (That’s really The Force Awakens’ strong suit: charismatic heroes and a genuinely interesting villain.)"
See I feel the opposite. I didn't give a dang about the characters in VII and is one of the reasons I didn't really like, but I did…

Did anyone else think that Malcolm's 20s haircut looked ridiculous?

I couldn't remember what Dinah Lance was a teacher of, but according to the wiki she teaches history. Specializing in Greek and medieval.

I'll be honest I only watch Who once in a great while, but in addition to the above, I also had the thought that last night was the most the Rip looked like Rory.

I've made comment for awhile that they've haven't really payed off Mama Lance living in Central City, though between Sara's recent return to 2016 Central, this episode bringing Meryln in to the fold, and the return of Rip I realized that they haven't done anything with Dinah Lance being played by Alex Kingston.

The hull of a timeship etc…

Except the cold gun was destroyed by Palmer in 1987.

True, but this week between Dante, Laurel, and Snart it was especially noticeable.

This week on the DCW. I see dead people.

Even Alexander forgets Alexander.
