So if we don't have to go "quite as far back as we once thought," how far back DO we have to go? Are the Creationists right but for the wrong reasons?

Knyght, maybe he's just a better actor than his sister.

Literally the day before watching Tara's death on Buffy, I had begun watching the Season 1 DVDs. On the commentary for the pilot episode, Joss Whedon made a comment about almost putting Eric Balfour in the opening credits because his character Jesse ends up dying in the next episode. So, seeing Amber Benson's name…

Star Wars, Superman, Lord of the Rings, and Star Trek (Goldsmith).

Is it a hallmark of my own cynicism that the first thing I thought was, "This was staged"? Watch the girl's reaction. After her shocked face, she kind of smiles.

E.T.

I know what you mean. I may be out, myself. After reading DC for the past 25 years, I may be done. Batman is pals with Harvey Bullock and the rest of the GPD, and Superman is the vigilante nobody trusts? Who wears ARMOR?!

Thanks for the correction.

Didn't Catwoman and "The Goddam" Batman get it on in costume in Frank Miller's All-Star Batman?

I don't know about "done." They used Conroy and Tim Daly for the two Superman/Batman movies, and I'll bet that those two will be back for the next one.

Is that one guy pissing in the lake in the crowd scene? (1:12)

Brilliant as always, Annalee! Thanks!

William Tenn's story reminds me of the Superman story from the 1970s (Bridwell? Maggin? Can't recall who wrote it) about Superwoman. A teacher from the future tells her class about the mysteirous Superwoman, who appeared when Superman was alive. Her secret identity was never discovered. The teacher goes back in…

Worst. M Night Shyamalamadingdong movie. Ever.

+1. I noticed that too.

His "Moff Jerjerod" is actually Admiral Motti. Has anybody said that already?

BRILLIANT!!

Which actually is another risk that DC is taking, that I hadn't considered. I'd always thought that they risked alienating their current readers by this giant reset button, because they're starting over completely and ignoring all the events that have happened over the last 70+ years (although, yes, I know they're…
