Absolutely Supergirl should win, and be the central actor, in her own show.

Well, even leaving aside where one stands on Blue Devils and Blue Demons, there are colleges (Drexel, and a couple of the SUNY campuses among tohers) with dragons as their mascot.

Cable didn't even get to us till 1986.

Though they tweaked the story to make her more sympathetic. The historical counterpart was a few years older, doesn't appear to have been grabbed and forced in the same way, etc.

That makes a lot of sense, and it's easier to imagine the show reaching 1986 than 1989 or 1991. (Though of course they can always do a time jump or epilogue.)

Back at Star Labs, Cisco gates back in. "Yeah, so National City was being attacked by a fleet of alien spaceships and there were a bunch of really strong guys with armor and ray guns running around. I didn't even bother trying to text Kara. What is it about May, anyway?"

Oliver's gotta know at this point that Barry makes everything worse.

"I guess that means he's less likely to be assassinated…?"

To be fair, their roles have been essentially reversed from their comics counterparts.

I think it's more that we disagree about the extent of that moral weight. Actual real world evils are one thing. (Though there's an argument that even the real world evils gain power from being treated in hushed tones and with exaggerated care.) But fantasy evils, even those that derive some of their power from…

"I was just following orders" means the same as "I had to do it or they would kill me".

I kind of doubt Henry and Paige will be in any position to do that. They're Philip and Elizabeth's hostages to fortune, and fortune isn't looking like it's going to be especially kind.

I'm pretty sure Putin considers going from global superpower to a regional power that has to engage in pseudo-deniable fights in Ukraine while most of the ex-Warsaw Pact gets as cozy as possible with Europe and NATO a large net loss, even if the last few years have been a relative uptick.

As I say, I'm not sure. The drama strikes me as more perfunctory for the most part (I liked villain Rip better than "coming to terms with not being Captain" Rip), though I grant that Sara's scene with Laurel was nice. And I find myself more and more tuning out the drama in Arrow and (especially) Flash.

Even less if… someone… time travels you into the past so you can put a few years into it retroactively.

She isn't a Nazi. She's absolutely a murderous speciesist, but there's a lot more to being a Nazi than that.

Honestly, given the way Barry messes with time, I could see him having as many alternate future descendants as Scott Summers.

I'm not sure Legends really needs drama versus just being light adventure. It got a lot better this season when they leaned into the crazy, and I'm personal more engaged with consequences like "dinosaurs everywhere! what have we done?!?" than, e.g., the angst over Vixen's destiny.

Though that's still a better situation than being murdered on the street. And Lord knows a rescue caper would be more fun to watch than Savitar has been.
