I kind of wish they'd just do it. It doesn't add overwhelmingly to their capabilities— a camera (but not one they can locally make prints from), a voice recorder, an information source that lets them back off on Lucy keeping all of history in her head while still leaving her knowledge and analysis important. Plus may

I'd say there's a big difference between having a resource and being able to get the most out of it. (But then, I'm a librarian, so I would say that.) Lucy-with-Wikipedia is going to get orders of magnitude more useful information than Wyatt-with-Wikipedia, because she knows the right questions to ask and the right

Caitlin was married in a small and very private ceremony, and Ronnie was killed very shortly after. She probably didn't send out wedding announcements, and it doesn't sound as if she and her mom were talking.

I think the pointers are to Caitlin being like Magenta: when her eyes turn color, in addition to powering up her personality is changing, in a way that frightens her. Normal Caitlin didn't get that angry and vengeful when Zoom actually did kidnap her and plan and commit murders in front of her.

Even though that's when we'll need a hero with the guts and irresponsibility to change the timeline more than ever!

Seriously guys, a smartphone or tablet with a Wikipedia dump on an SD card will help a lot with things like Travis's letter. Add a Project Gutenberg mirror for when you need to rewrite one of Shakespeare's plays for him. You've got a wardrobe room, now it's time to hit a Best Buy.

I spend more time in conversation about the shows in places like this than I do watching them. To the extent that shipping has become an ever higher fraction of that fan conversation (and oh, has it), it does affect me. Likewise the extent to which fan interest in romance over other sorts of relationships drives

Well, but J'onn's 317 years old, and M'gann's only 300!

One wonders about the legal/judicial crisis when it's revealed that all the laws signed by the "President" (for how long?) were in fact signed by a noncitizen with no constitutional authority.

Cyrus Gold showed up as a Mirakuru-powered not-quite-zombie in Arrow, but they never used the Grundy name.

Fillion can fight Adrian Chase over on Arrow for the right to the name.

The Bronze Age Vartox was a hero on his own planet. He just had a recurring tendency to blame Superman for things that weren't actually his fault.

BTW, am I right that there was no explanation given for why the Alura hologram, which shut itself down so Laura Benanti could star on Broadway in response to Kara asking it the wrong question last year, is suddenly back?

It would be a surprising way to go. On the other hand, casting someone age-appropriate for J'onn/Hank as M'gann, rather than the teen or early twentysomething you'd normally expect for Miss Martian, at least suggests they're keeping their options open.

Though in many ways that ran against the historical trend of fanfic, which was slashing Kirk and Spock and similar boon male companions years before anyone made a straight or lesbian pairing a priority.

For a Kryptonian prison, Fort Rozz had a lot of non-Kryptonians. Maybe the galaxy is just a high-mobility place.

I don't think the Lincoln of Great Moments with Mister Lincoln is especially comical. When he quotes from the Gettysburg Address, it evokes genuine and complex feelings— more complex, in many ways, than a dog can evoke. (Just as seeing a movie about Lincoln does.)

I'll buy it if they establish he had some proper Jimmy Olsen adventures back in Metropolis. (And that his less impetuous presentation last year was part of his whole "make a new start" thing that he's now backsliding from.)

If it helps, I bet William Moulton Marston would have been A-OK with it if he could have gotten away with it.

As to "why not?", I think they wasted Vartox and Jemm the way they used them as well. (And the Persuader and Despero in the bargain.) I just don't care about those characters as much.
