I’ve only watched Batwoman off and on, but has there been any mention at all of Dick Grayson or any of the other (more-or-less canonical) Robins? I can’t recall for sure but I don’t think there was in any of the episodes I did watch. But presumably they want to adopt, a, you know, baby? Thought Ryan was implying they…

By and large it probably comes down to actor availability. Certainly when Cavanagh was still a part of the main cast it was both easier logistically and cheaper to have him play Thawne. The same is probably true for Armageddon. Plus, I think Cavanagh’s Thawne has more creepy menace than Letscher’s.

Much like abridged “Flashpoint” & “Doomworld,” it’s more efficient that they didn’t devote multiple episodes to this Reverse-Flashpoint. Dragging it out would’ve opened up even more paradox plot holes. Just giving us the juicy highlights was more effective. It also avoids viewers once again deciding Eobard screwed…

sure, but how cheated are fans going to feel if they don’t end up there?

I appreciate the extra touch that they replaced Barry’s face with Thawne’s in the opening.  I love when shows mix up their openings for special episodes.

“Give us Barabara!”

Look, I’ll never complain about Tom Cavanagh showing up. S2 Harry is always and forever my fave character on this dumb show. But do the writers remember that that’s not actually what Eobard Thawne looks like? Eobard Thawne-who-looks-like-himself is Matt Letscher. There’s no reason for this Thawne to look like Harrison…

-the whole Ryan/Sophie thing seems like a huge commitment/tease to make for Batwoman?

Cavanagh looks great in that Flash suit.

Barabara

$10 says they never fix “Barabara” in either version of the headline

Future Thawne-as-Barry put together a hell of a cool team. Well, except for Chillblaine. It would have been really gratifying if future Damian Darhk had murdered him 

- God, that opening scene was so freaking perfect. Loved every second of it.

I absolutely adore that it was Legends most, well, legendary storyline that turned the tide for Barry. Beebo bless Damian Dahrk. Honestly it justifies the entire exercise.  It would’ve been fun to have spent a little more time with the altered future, but I suppose actor availability played a role there.

Walters has always been that snotty aunt you try and avoid at Christmas dinner.

I enjoyed Shang-Chi but I hope Marvel puts more effort into special effects next time. The climax of the movie just looked like absolute dogshit and it’s turning into a real problem for the MCU that their CGI so often looks cheap and lazy. It’s inexcusable with the amount of money they spend on these things. Better…

Bougie brunch is for people in their 20s who care more about the scene than the food or the experience. Regular brunch is just a restaurant choosing to offer egg-based dishes past noon (and maybe offering burgers before noon, but that is not guaranteed). Mother’s Day buffet brunch is a circle of Hell that Dante missed…

Marnie, I feel like what you’re reacting to is “trendy brunch.” Don’t do trendy brunch. If the place has a line, it is not the right place. Bottomless mimosas are a red flag.

Speaking as someone who’s spent the last five years tending bar for brunchers, brunch is awful. Especially the post-church crowd.

I do like brunch, somewhat. Our group of friends meet at a local spot on occasion early on a Sunday, before the church crowd gets out. It’s usually the only day that all six of us have time on our hands. We don’t do bottomless mimosas; that’s asking for trouble and not worth the trouble. We each order our own one or…
