That's what I thought, but the same entry says a teen version of him appeared on Young Justice. Eventually, I guess, EVERYBODY comes back.

Because, uh, wind is invisible?

I like how El Dorado's Wikipedia entry basically says, "Look, we have no idea who this guy is or what his powers are supposed to be."

Given what he's lost, I can't fault Mark for not getting past it. It's praiseworthy that Beth has found an outlet, but I don't know that it's a mark against him that he hasn't.

I'm suspicious of the party, and doubt it was just your basic "have some drinks and celebrate the birthday girl with music and good cheer" sort of affair.

I was never impressed by those, and his dismemberment fetish kind outweighs them in my mind.

In both scenes, a character we've heretofore seen as prickly or distant or harsh reveals something of themselves to someone who didn't think there was anything else to them.

I don't understand that depiction of Hawkman and Hawkwoman. Where are the seams all over their costumes? Why aren't they wearing random straps or gauntlets or bicep bracelets on their bare arms? Why are their pants red at the top, and green on the legs?

Yes! Especially Juice, who's a copy of Black Vulcan, who's a copy of Black Lightning. Now that DC no longer seems bound and determined to screw over Tony Isabella WRT Black Lightning, maybe we'll someday see a team-up of Black Lightning, Black Vulcan, Juice, Static, Soul Power, and Sparky…

Excellent question. Let's give credit to the Major, but also to Bobby for letting his father's vision turn him around.

I have no idea — it's been years since I've seen that one.

The bit about historians of the future mystified as to why Booster, this inept gloryhound with no accomplishments to his name, is always smiling in photographs is the only worthwhile thing Geoff Johns has ever been associated with. My guess is his cowriter was responsible for it.

Tim Daly and Dana Delany would have played Clark and Lois in 1996 better than the people who were actually playing them in live action.

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall in the meeting where Powers Boothe was pitched the offer to voice a giant talking telepathic gorilla.

Even better, the JLU members in that episode were all members of the super-obscure Golden Age team of the Seven Soldiers of Victory. IIRC, there were some behind-the-scenes licensing acrobatics that took place to get Speedy to appear in the episode (since he was an occasional guest on Teen Titans).

It was impossible for me not to read Briggs' series of clues that Bobby, and only Bobby, could solve as an expression of the major's faith that the optimism and confidence of his vision — for my money, one of the best single scenes of the original series — would someday come to pass.

Less worrying now than after season two.

No ekranoplan? Boo.

It's also a sexy carwash that failed; they'd have needed 4500 inside jobs to make the money they needed.

So THAT'S how The Americans is going to end.
