The job descrtption for "Priestess of R'hlorr" clearly states in Section IV, Subsection 2a "…must be able to pull off 'super sexy" and 'creepy and off-putting' at the same time"

Because "Now I'm become Death, destroyer of worlds"? Pandora's box? Genie:bottle? I actually think its a pretty darkly elegant tragedy or Irony or whatever.

No, it's actually genuinely cute and funny. She can't talk and is barely functional as a human being (as opposed to a living weapon) but she tries so hard to communicate to the world that in her mind she really is a teenage girl and person.

Jeez, Simone has had her ups and downs but when she is "on" she is one of the best in the business.

Really? When? As in Benoist is confirmed play Powergirl in Barry and Ollie's Earth? Not that I'm complaining, mind you, I just hadn't heard that announced anywhere.

*sigh* why to do people keep telling me that all the things I love require pants?

Gotta say, my hatred of Millennials outweighs my self hatred of Gen-Xers. The real question is"why did anyone ever watch crap like Survivor in the first place?"

Google "Gravedigger theory". !SPOILERS of course

So CW has the unfettered rights to Supergirl and the JSA?

To be fair, that's kind of one of the major points of the novel: These people are all really shitty in there own way but individual shittyness is nothing compared to actual fascism.

It's a show that can't seem to decide if it wants to be a "prestige show" or a "prestige trashy fun show" and pulling at both ends prevents it from really being great at either.

"And even if people pirate the hell out of it, there's still a lot of money to be made from marketing and licensing stuff tied to the new series, if it's popular."

Everything is better with J'onn in charge. Justice Leagues. Futuristic empires. Orgies.

Suckseading?

I meant it more as in "If they are counting on this to be their big selling point for their 'for pay' service . they are likely to be disappointed" This will be pirated wholesale and CBS can't ride it out the way HBO does with Game of Thrones.

No, your supposed to say "this guy had some over the top, misjudged moments of Violence, therefore everything he will ever do should be presumtively be assumed to follow that pattern." But you've got that covered.

I think Johns will bring some positives to the table, but yeah. Timm would be who I'd most like to see as captain of the USS DCCU.

Look. If you're point is that Johns has some flaws in his style I'm not gonna argue. If your point is that the chiefest among those flaws is an occasional tendency to get too enamoured of brutal shock moments to tell his story then I'll even give you a gold star for perceptivity. But let's not be stupid about our

And had amazing, character defining runs on iconic titles like Green Lantern and JSA, not to mention one of the better track records with company wide crossover events among the big two. Not saying Johns hasn't had his missteps but holy shit…reductivist much?

It's so cute how CBS thinks that Trek fanatics will happily pay for their service.
