It wasn't standalone. I mean, Michael Ironside is basically the Kurgan, down to the nonsensical high speed drive (Ironside uses a train instead of a car, but still) to show how "badass" he is. Unless maybe that was just tacked on in post.

I think Horner just did that a lot. The soundtrack for Krull is basically identical too.

There's some director's cut version or something out there that attempts to repair the Zeist damage. I've never actually seen it, but I was pretty big into Highlander fandom in college (no, I am not proud, thanks for asking) and I remember hearing about an "Atlantis fix."

Yeah, well, it may not be all that good but… uh… what was the third thing?

In it's dying days, TSR, the company what brought us Dungeons & Dragons, produced a game called "Bughunters." It was basically the Aliens-verse with the serial numbers filed off. The protagonists were space marines, there was hypersleep, and weird alien monsters to fight. The central premise was that there were two…

Addendum: If you're a former Teen Titan, your baby is going to be murdered. Sorry, but them's the breaks.

I was thinking more of the magical pregnancies of Carol Danvers and Kara Zor-L, but sure. That counts.

Super-babies have two settings: A) forever young, stuck as a perpetual baby/toddler, or 2) magically grow to adulthood and disappear immediately thereafter.

Strangely enough, the person we have to thank for this is Mark Millar. When Warren Ellis first introduced Apollo and Midnighter, there was plenty of subtext that they were a couple. But it was Mark Millar who made it text, albeit not without a lot of gratuitous rape thrown in because, you know, Mark Millar. But still!…

Subway pirates, you say? In Los Angeles?

I'm just glad that Midnighter and Apollo are back together. I'm happy those crazy kids could work it out.

It's gay superhero week at the AV Club!

I think, once you get to your fourth Robin, this is kind of a meaningless argument.

She was in the army? And then lived in Gotham City? And decided to fight crime? And co-opted the biggest name in town for her costumed identity?

Still (?) part of continuity as Flamebird, and now spells her first name with a second "e." So she could team up with Batwoman, easily.

"Or maybe we're from Atlantis? Who the fuck knows! Which cut of the film are we using?"

Just like Disney's The Black Hole, another haunted house movie dressed up as sci-fi.

So it is the Village!

It might just be a condition of this particular neighborhood, too.

I'm not sure the marriage counselor was a swinger. I think that was Eleanor just projecting.
