Snapper as a character is an insult to pretty much anything or anyone, ever. He's a character that's not acceptable, charming, or interesting. He's not even justifiable. You could reveal that Snapper is *actually* a sentient time-traveling lysol douche from the 1930s whose parents were brutally murdered in front of

So why did Cousin Jesse drug Xavier and apparently head for the Canadian border? Or is he supposed to be driving him to Houston (which would make more sense if we ignore the geography shown on screen)? Why didn't Xavier detach the trailer from the vehicle to drive to the airport? Why didn't Xavier's dad check his

The gal waving her arms and pretending to be one of those blower-advertising dolls used by car dealerships was pretty hilarious. 10/10, well-done, would laugh and adopt.

On the second viewing I caught Brandon Routh's easter egg line, looking at Kara in civvies, "Y'know what's weird? She looks like my cousin." Heh. Since he played Superman in one of the ill-fated reboots.

How frickin' closely can you be watching the show if you were surprised there's Samurai? Go back an episode or two when they start getting close to the center of the maze. Notice the guys in the background who look like Vikings extras? Or medieval escapees? >.<

Where was Artemis during all this? Yeah, we know she's a traitor. But in the other entries they went with throw-away lines to explain why character X wasn't there, like Steel not being in The Flash (newbies stayed with the ship). We got all of Ollie's little vigilante squad but no Artemis and no mention of Artemis.

The attempted suicide scene was important because it was call back to Odin. Ragnar claims descent from Odin. Odin hung himself (complete with Ravens) to seek knowledge. Ragnar at this point is unsure of himself and wants to know the right thing. He doubts if he'll be accepted into Valhalla. He doesn't know what

Cliff from Cheers was in Empire Strikes Back. Sometimes you just can't make this stuff up.

Certainly there will always be disagreement but the biggest one that jumped out was…

They picked Jeffrey Dean Morgan because they wanted basically The Comedian from Watchmen. Oh well. Still better than Jared Leto and indubitably better to work with.

I'm not sure if it's just that Snapper is a terribly written one-note hack or if it's that Cat Grant was so unexpectedly well-done, performed, and given depth as a character but… Can't we have Man-El get in a drinking contest and Snapper 'accidentally' succumbs to alcohol poisoning?

HA! Thanks for that. It was my dad's favorite episode and one he quoted quite ofte when I was growing up.

Just look at the flowers, Rick, just look at the flowers!

So Bernard is aware of the idea that memory = consciousness and self-awareness. Despite this Bernard apparently picks the longest "lasting" host, Dolores, whose memories would then consist of watching her father killed, home destroyed, being raped and then murdered almost daily for the last couple decades.

Exactly!

Fake-blonde hostess. Even that's part of what makes it so meta is that Talulah Riley, the actress in question was very much a dark brunette who, allegedly, only dyed her hair blonde at Elon Musk's request.

I wonder if some of the casting was intentionally or unintentionally meta.

Killing Cruz really made zero sense to me unless it was Burton freelancing.

Next time maybe NOT hire a method actor to play your twisted insanely violent psychopath.

The Late-Late Lord Frey peels back the crust and discovers the first joint of a finger+fingernail. I didn't see any other recognizable body parts. I mean, sure, there was some wrinkly stuff that could've been brains except we know Black Walder and Lothar weren't rocking any.
