Bring back Gilbert Gottfried, you cowards.

It’s a small moment but I love that Brainy assumed the Monitor was Earth-1's problem. Either because he’s annoyed another Earth’s problems are now coming to theirs, or he’s kicking himself for not seeing this possibility.

I’m here for Kate giving her something to hurt over, Gotham-style.

Sadly, no. While I didn’t remember what it was in regard to, I did remember where I posted it, so a quick search for “milkshake duck” brought it right up.

CBS had the right idea dropping Star Trek and other shows at reasonable east-coast prime-time hours. It let me enjoy the one thing I like about this damnable coast, being able to watch TV earlier and get to bed at a reasonable hour, but it didn’t mean work-from-home types, college students, people with lengthy bus…

I can’t remember what it was, but earlier this year I commented on some seemingly-interminable internet thing that had lasted for, like, a week and a half, saying I was already getting bored and needed people to Milkshake Duck on an ever-shortening cycle to still get the rush.

Yeah, those spurs were awfully familiar. While I’m not a fan of that particular character, these five episodes, and the handling of the “revisiting ANH” aspects of this one, give me confidence that this show can pull it off, and not leave me with the Discovery season 2 feeling of, “If you want to lean on TOS so…

Those were legit hymns (aside from about half the words), putting the Simpsons nonspecific Protestantism fairly far over into Catholic-inflected in this episode, which may be part of the reason Lovejoy stuck it to the Episcopalians in his sermon, as they are the most Catholic-y of the Protestant denominations.

I’m wondering when and how someone is going to address the Mandalorian’s Mandalorians versus all the other ones we’ve seen, vis a vis helmet etiquette. Nobody else has ever had a problem taking off the helmet when they were off the clock. Will it be in a novel? A comic? Official website encyclopedia entry? A tweet?

My argument as always been if you call it an “at at,” what do you call the many other “at” family of vehicles? Okay, the AT-ACT from Rogue One still fits, but the AT-ST, or AT-RT, or AT-DP?

I saw an essay arguing once that the correct rating of the Craig Bond films is easy, because it’s chronological order: Casino Royale is the best, then Quantum, then Skyfall, with Spectre dead last. I was glad to find someone who agreed with me. They were taking Bond in a different, more modern direction, and Mendes…

I just wish Kara were less vulnerable to “look what you made me do” as an attack.

I... liked? Appreciated? Noticed?... the second reference in a row to Noah’s flood as a global, historical event, which retroactively made it seem like set-up for this reveal last week, and not just J’onn being awfully literalistic about a religion he doesn’t practice.

Maybe that’s exactly what their motivation is. They broke the planet when they landed, and as soon as they get it nice again, a bunch of apes go and dig up all the oil from where it was safely buried and set it all on fire.

I heard a rumor Harewood was going to spend the second half of the season on Legends, but I also heard that was strongly denied, but maybe I’m just not up-to-date.

I know it’s true to her character, but I really wish Kara wasn’t such a doormat whenever somebody got mad at her. “Oh, I understand. You’re upset I didn’t trust you with my secret, so as soon as you found out, you decided to conduct an elaborate revenge scheme culminating in you betraying me, imprisoning me, poisoning…

- I get why they did it, but it bugs me that Julia name-dropped Metropolis instead of another DC city, since Crisis still hasn’t happened yet.

There was a running joke they used a few times where when Alfred found someone new in the Batcave, he’d sheepishly admit that they’d discovered the secret of Wayne Manor; Alfred Pennyworth is, indeed, Batman.

It goes back further than that. “I sleep in a drawer!” was, let’s see... oh, it would’ve been when the van Houtens got divorced in the first place, in season 8, in 1996. I think the one you’re thinking of is when Bart mentioned Kearny had been dating Jimbo’s mom, which I am shocked to find out was in season 13.

I mean, they did a pretty good job tying to together by beginning with Shelby being told that if he ever races a car again his heart will explode, and lacing the brake stuff through the film. I thought it was pretty gracefully done for a biopic, which tend to be a bit hairy with regards to plotting and theme because…
