    Seriously? "Pound town" is an obscenity? Can you make any reference to sex in the USA?

    I find it very unlikely that Earth has its own timeline. By the nature of time one would expect it to be the timeline of the entire universe. Barry probably wiped out thousands of Dominators from being born. Or swaped their sexes if they have them, etc.

    His gun fires tranquilizer darts, usually. (Switched for circumstances). Hard to imagine a tranquilzer shotgun.

    Weirdly, I try to visualise that and much to my surprise, I sort of can. Mick would absolutely in no way inflict the sort of romantic complications on Kara that she is usually beset by. Nor would he be freaked out at all about her being an alien, super strong or behave around her the way other males would. He's a

    I was just happy to have Laurel back for a bit.

    I don't know… Feminism has been one of the overriding themes of Supergirl (and the richer for its nuanced and embracing approach to that, I might add). It could be interesting to see anti-objectification feminism going head to head with sexual liberation feminism (embodied by Kara and Powergirl, respectively).

    If Barry ever does kareoke night with Caitlin again, his song should be "Oops, I did it again."

    I can get that it would freak Diggle out, but emotionally I don't quite see how it registers. It's essentially - you know that son you love and cherish. Well originally you didn't have him, though you did have a daughter. Diggle isn't going to want to give up his son for a daughter he never knew - it's not as if he

    It's pretty in-character. He doesn't waste time trying to think up clever wordplay - it's just "haircut". I like that.

    Watching it, I was pretty sure they were also speaking Krolatean. They don't even have their own language! ;)

    To be fair, if you try and put yourself in his place rather than just watching from the sofa, it would have to be pretty freaky to have someone who can lift an aeroplane joking around pretending to be a regular person (even if that "pretending" is mostly your viewpoint). I mean she shot at him through a wall - with

    An American friend over here, long ago, angered some people by more than once asking where they were from. You'd think the first "I'm British" delivered in pretty strong, cold tones would have clued her in but she just kept on pushing to know where they were "really from". It was excutiatingly embarrassing.

    It just dumbfounds me that this could be an issue. What difference does it make whether he is Black or White?

    He was good as Superman and very good as Clark. The big problem was that movie was fundamentally misguided. The plot and director make Superman a horrible person without ever seeming to realise it. Right from the first moment he wakes up back on Earth and his pet dog who is overjoyed to have him back brings him his

    Cousins can be attracted to each other and date / marry. In fact it can be important to the gene pool due to something called the Founder's Effect. The whole horror or cousins marrying is a relatively recent thing that gained popularity in the USA when Eugenics was a popular movement based on shakey science.

    Maybe he can just enter at the end and put an arrow through the jukebox.

    I think that would just make Kara uncomfortable. I mean she's not exactly great with flirting at the best of times. Plus I don't really see her as Sara's type - the character is probably around a decade younger and kind of giddy. Sara seems to go for the mature, sexually confident type.

    My favourite in the series, actually is a Manuel moment. It's where Basil tells him to clean out the pigeons from the water tank and Manuel says "Pigeons? How they get up there?" And Basil says "Well, they flew!" And Manuel starts laughing like crazy and saying "Flew? Flew?" and making oink noises whilst flapping his

    Or maybe just jealous? :)

    I don't know what it's like now and it's obviously going to vary from place to place, but when I was at University in the UK years ago, the gay guys I knew hated bisexual guys.
