And four times the wait!

A lot of Superman's lighter elements either come from his wackier villains like Mxyzptlk, during Clark Kent scenes, or in situations without dramatic tension (because he's Superman). Didn't have very many opportunities for any of those in JL/JLU. Though I do admit I remember his delivery being a little forced during…

Aw shoot. You're right. Newbern usually had a harder edge to his voice.

I love that the Question is always *close* to the right answer, but never quite gets to the whole truth. He thinks the Huntress wants to take down a mob boss, nope, she wants to kill him. He thinks that Luthor plans to destroy the world through a war with superheroes, nope, he plans to destroy the world as Braniac…

Conroy and Daly (Newbern) have great chemistry. I love the moment in Doomsday Sanction when Superman is super breezy about the day while Batman is lying in traction in a hospital bed. Conroy really sells how angry he is that Superman (the invulnerable man) is blowing it off the fact that Batman had basically resigned…

The obvious question goes: What is your least favorite meta moment in comics?

For a character that began life as a joke about Spider-Gwen in a Deadpool annual, the book (and character) has absolutely no right to be as good as it is. It's a surprisingly sophisticated deconstruction/reconstruction of the last few years at Marvel.

Mike Lazzo is one of those figures in geek and alt media that played a massive role, but rarely gets talked about. Part of it is that he seems to be a businessman who has no interest in being anything other than a very successful television executive. He also appears to have a terrible view of women as creative…

The Big O second season is one of those BIG EXPERIMENTS in anime that is impressive merely for the fact that it was accomplished, if not for any actual commercial or entertainment merit. A thirteen episode metaphysical homage to Le Jetee and new wave cinema financed by an American cable network made for 12-14…

Does anybody else remember when this site would have great long form writing on pop-culture? My Year of Flops, Box of Paperbacks, Handlen's Star Trek reviews… and now we have literal cartoon car porn. Maybe I'm just looking back with rose-colored glasses, but is this really the type of content that drives revenue? Not…

I'm disappointed that more people didn't get it.

*Breaking news* Tall, handsome, athletic, intelligent, lucky, ambitious white guy does well in life! Thinks people who don't do as well as him are lazy, bad people! In other news: recent MBA graduate introduces the concept of workflows to an office that has functioned for 30 years. Hailed as genius by management in…

Sisko and Picard are too different to really say one is better than the other. Sisko leads an interstellar war while Picard puts out diplomatic brush fires. Sisko's direct and aggressive approach to problems often works in ways that Picard's patient equivocation never could. But then, Picard never would have let…

Jolene Blalock is the real tragedy for me. Apparently, she was a huge Star Trek fan and hated the way her character and the Vulcans were written and presented. Also, she's not a great actor, so there's the pathos of a well-meaning person doing not-very-good work at a job she hates in service of a thing she loves.

Hahaha, my absolute favorite uniform was the Picard coat from "Darmok," a red Jacket with a grey undershirt. Best of both worlds!

The death-sensing guy is the key to all this, if we can get him working.

My preference is the late-period TNG uniforms. They were clearly colored, practical, and looked like actual uniforms. The Dominion War-Era greys made sense for the story, but they didn't look as good on TV.

I hope they bring back the TNG-era man-mini skirt. Put the Captain in one of those.

Frakes is a director that thrives on a story with clear conflicts. Create any ambiguity or mess up the writing and his director falls flat. Insurrection is a very morally ambiguous story acted and directed like a clear good vs evil battle. The discontinuity makes everything bland. Well, that and the costumes.

Technically, both she and Spock would hold the 1st Officer positions. The 2nd Officer position was held by Scotty in TOS. T'Pol held the 'title' of First Officer, but rarely appeared to take on the personnel management duties usually associated with the XO. In fact, now that I think about it, no one really seemed to…
