You should've had your comically-small umbrella with you

More Robert Stack. Never a bad thing.

I'ma give it a shot. I browsed a couple Kinja boards in prep for this and, while I'm not necessarily a fan of their formatting, I have faith we'll find a way to make this work…I hope.

Oh, thank God. Seriously.

…Whoa. This place was a hotter bed of intrigue than I ever could have imagined.

Seriously, what is this Avocado, thing? I've seen it a few times. (Don't mind me, I'm an old and stodgy bureaucrat who doesn't know what the "cool" kids are into, these days.

God DAMNIT…Stole my idea.

It's gotten to the point where I'll go monastic on myself even after a head-tilt to the screen.

That Waldo Weatherbee, whatta tomata!

Speaking as, ostensibly, a grown-ass 35-year-old man, I enjoy this show WAY more than I should, and I'm fine with that.

Well, shit. How'm I supposed to get a surprise Nazi chick, now?
It was like using one of those drugstore toy machines; you never really know what you might get.

Seriously. If we must have Hal back full-time, why not have him and, hell, Kyle, handling the cosmic end of things, while John pulls League end of things? That way, they both equal time in the limelight, and everyone's happy. As for Guy, he's Guy. Let him be Guy.

Wait, ANOTHER Flashpoint?! Isn't the TV show still dealing with the fallout of theirs, and not for the better?

Exactly, the initial story worked for that reason. It's just that, once the story got positive feedback, it seemed like that was the beginning of "Barry Allen, Flash Messiah."

Oh, Bart…Poor, dear Bart.

And that's the thing I think I, like so many other fans, had no problem with Barry as a character or even him being The Flash until people like Johns and so many others shoved it down our throats that he was THE Flash, pure, perfect, amazing, and no-one else could ever hope to measure up? (What, Jay Garrick came…

Noooo, not Sterenko! FUCK!

Johns is an acknowledged Silver Age fanboy from way back, and so, when it got to be his turn to be king of the sandbox, you better BELIEVE his was going to bring Hal back. And that's sad because, not only does it put him to the forefront ahead of his far-more interesting GL contemporaries, but it also ignores that, as…

And Tom was made into a far more well-rounded character as the years went on, moving leagues away from his original "Pieface" characterization.

…Tom Kalmaku?
