Strictly speaking, "Hercules" is the show or the movie. Hercules would be the play or the novel.

"Yes, Supergirl. Bumblebee flight, that's the real scientific mystery. Now would you mind not hovering near the ceiling? It makes me antsy."

Here I thought he had a bad rep for deciding that "Andromeda" (which wasn't exactly Shane Carruth in its intellectual demands) was "too cerebral", getting rid of the head writer/executive producer and marginalizing the his most charismatic co-star. But I'm sure he'll do fine in a role like this.

I… didn't know about that last. (Maybe a spoiler tag for others?)

Or as it was known on Buffy: the Spike Problem.

No, no, she's not Livewire, she's Astra. Astra's political, they have the same catchphrase ("Like I told you all when we first crashed here and escaped Fort Rozz, we are stronger together."), etc.

To be fair, they're all awful centuries.

I sort of want to see the Black Flash do that, and then spend a while trying to figure out what "supposed to" means.

I don't want Jimmy Olsen killed. (Again.) Refocus the character (which I think is still doable), or else put him on a bus.

Yeah, there's pretty much no point she's in a position to advise Ollie on his career. ("You're an ordinary human who's really good with a string tied to a stick?!? You are sitting out this alien invasion, young man.") She's a guest on an unfamiliar Earth with no relationship to any of those people. That's

Eh, from other CW shows we know that takes like a year before it happens. And then, well— big media company CEOs make tens of millions a year. It's not as if James is visibly spending money on anything else, so his bank account should be good for a few more vans after the job goes away.

Last week he asked for a suit, and this week Kara did her whole "you're ready" and asked Winn to make him one. So they're kind of making a production of it. I hope this means he'll get something that approximates his classic look, which I've always liked a lot and which seems pretty adaptable for TV.

James "try and stop me" bruh you kidding me she can snap you in half.

Though it would have been better if Kara has made that argument rather than simply emphasizing that he's a fragile, unpowered human.

That would make more sense, since comets, being snowballs, would probably tend to be white or gray rather than bright blue.

Re 2), that's why I love the way they've played Barry and Kara during the crossovers. They have an easy chemistry that makes them a joy to watch together, which isn't even slightly complicated by either evincing any romantic interest.

Though the fact that the Waverider's Gideon had a message from Future!Barry at least supports the idea.

They were no more brought up as brother and sister than Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger were when they lived under the same roof from age 11 to early adulthood.

DC geography is always vague, but given that TV Central City is 600 miles from Star City, which is pretty clearly on the west coast, it's probably a little further west than Missouri.

Before the Speed Force, it was attributed to the Flash having "absolute control over his body's molecules". (Unlike heroes who were comparably fast, but lacked that control, like Superman, who thus couldn't vibrate through walls.)
