I’ve been hoping she’d cameo or guest for the last year and a half. That they brought her in for #100 is indeed testament to her impact on the series. Also, for me, total surprise that she’d show up. The CW only promo’d Lennon in the commercials. Was it tipped somewhere that Reign and Mon would show up? Great ep.

Ventress was also assumed dead after a fall, in her final duel with Anakin, right? In Genndy’s take?

Well, since we know in advance Sue and Ralph become a DC Power Couple, they’ve got to drag it out. Ralph’s already in love with her. We, as audience, are on Ralph’s side. Sue’s the one that has to come around and fall for Ralph. For it to land, she’s going to have to really flip for him a la Nora and Ray on Legends.

Exactly. No Cisco & No Frosty (and not a lot of Barry) left the show away from its core. Even so, the moving pieces began to show promise. Caitlin figures heavy in Grodd’s story, so I assume she and Barry get back in the mix next week. It might be here too, we see why Cisco considered leaving the show ... post Crisis

To be fair (wa-ay down the thread, here, I know) Even though AV is giving the film a “C” they did admit the movie works when its completely all CGI, it’s just that the actors have a hard time fitting in with the animated half. Other sites are giving the movie better grades. I have a feeling the whole movie was shot on

That’s why they film in Croatia. “Lin! Lin ... put your hand lightly on the polar bear’s back. There, see? He won’t bite. (Roar) Oh shit, I stand corrected. Lin, better go back to your trailer. Bear tazers, bear tazers to set.

Thank you, thank you, a hundred times thank you for that reply.

Maybe someone from the industry can chime in, but I can’t shake the feeling that these pics that fall into the Uncanny Valley do so in many ways because the crew is working on desktop computer screens and never gets to see “dailies” ie footage blown up movie screen size - until it’s too late. So maybe the look works

I can get behind this as well as TOTO’s comment about Terry. You’re right. Kate shouldn’t be locked into Bruce’s life. She can have her own story.

This was a decent episode, not without frustrations though. I guess it earns its A with that scene on the hospital floor. Kate did the right thing by healing Beth and then going to sit with Alice while she died. Truly and admittedly it dug as deep as anything the CW ever has done. If only it had worked out that way!

Aww, Happy Valentines Day guys. From Batman’s heart to yours.

Wavy line flashback: an empty pizza box on the coffee table. Swoosh pan to A.J. leaving the bathroom after a flush, buckling his belt. Cut to Ryan chewing.

Besides checking the set-piece boxes from the original novel, the freakiest thing the Spielberg version added was the thing where it was implied that all captured humans were being ground up into plant fertilizer. It was one of the few times a Spielberg movie veered into gore. Jaws, the end of Raiders, and this. Can’t

And ... The Magicians was pretty good tonight. I dare say: “near-awesome.” The full gang came together to stop the Apocalypse (this season’s Apocalypse, anyway) and lo and behold - swerve - it falls on Eliot and Margo to save the day ... and then Eliot on his own. So good. 

The gag is so obviously there, that even the Flash crew won’t do it. It’s too obvious even for them. Which is why I hope they’re going crazy not doing it. It’s like putting a star on top of a Christmas tree. You’re standing there with the star in your hand, in front of the tree ... and a step ladder ... in your living

You’re right, of course. I too like the stewardess backstory. The backstory is so good and she delivered it last time so convincingly that I just about believe it. Even if she reveals she’s from Michigan or some such, like Madonna, she’s adopted the accent and probably couldn’t drop it if she wanted too.

So glad the CW is pairing Flash and Legends. Appetizer nut dish before the full-on bowl of nuts. Delicious, tasty, and it keeps you regular.

I think she’s improving with age too. Her fake accent is a better version of a fake British accent. Evil Mary Poppins! Keep leaning into it guys. Get her to cameo elsewhere. Have Mick Rory reveal he hooked up with her back in 2006 when she was merely a truckstop waitress in Kalamazoo.

The one-two punch of Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel shut down many of his critics. They showed he had staying power.

Who’s crimes are they covering up now?
