Maybe Elizabeth Moss’s character inherits her ex’s Invisibility technology and becomes...The Invisible Woman!

So do I — I also remember the big Whoop-de-do they made of using Video Bluescreening for their Invisibility effects. I was in film school then, so I felt an obligation to watch to see how effective it all was.

Well, there was a short-lived television series featuring David McCallum as The Invisible Man — a Not-Quite Mad Scientist turned Secret Agent...

Oh, I’d forgotten Garth Marenghi said that...!

And The Invisible Man was a Universal Horror Franchise in the 1930s and 1940s, as well, from Claude Rains in the first film, to the sequel starring a more sympathetic Vincent Price (! — yes, this is a series where Vincent Price can be sympathetic), to a series of increasing pulp entries about Allied and Axis agents

I don’t know, The Grandmaster of the Void - I read the books first, but I’m not sure they added anything to the experience...other than the comedy of Graves’ Claudius outright dismissing Jesus Christ as the possible Messiah, after a couple discursive pages of tracking his history as a Roman Official would see it.

OTOH, you’ll just to see PatStew with a full head of curly (probably fake) hair!

That second one isn’t true, given it was a popular “Princess” YA series by Megan Cabot.

My bad — it wasn’t Donna Dixon, but March 1981 PLAYBOY Playmate of the Month Kymberly Herrin, who did a handful of movies in addition to modeling.

Does it matter that it’s actually his RL spouse, Donna Dixon, going down on him...?

Maybe Supergirl could open up the Inter-Dimensional Warp they used to have to use pre-Crisis to do spinoffs with the Arrowverse?

This is the “if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere” Big Apple, a place of endless possibilities, with characters still young and hopeful enough to believe that all their dreams will become reality, set against an idealistic, glamorous, relatively crimeless backdrop.

Also Burn Notice, which wrapped up with a darker tone than it previous had as USA’s priorities changed.

Naw, Pardn’r - Tex-ASS!

I’m just curious — have you ever read any of Ross Thomas’ (the source novel this series is based on) work? He used to be both prolific and ubiquitous, but this work is nearly impossible to find today -- a shame, because he was a plotting wizard and prose stylist on the level of Elmore Leonard.

I like the thought of him either coming back as Ethan’s Asshole Boss who’s always insisting on some form of bureaucracy, or maybe the former asshole boss turned asshole partner. Wouldn’t that be funny to see him as some aging bureaucratic type humping his ass all over the globe and keeping up with Ethan Hunt’s

Adam Sandler in Drag Being Wooed by Al Pacino is not quite the Stygian Horror of pure  H.P. Lovecraft — it’s close, though, like John Carpenter channeling Lovecraft and Nigel Kneale...

Hey! I will have you know that I Stumbled OUT! OUT! of the grave — just to do this one last time for you, ya ingrate...

Is that because MGM bought out the AIP and New World Libraries,-sam?

No, because Fox has a lot of content Apple would never release on their own branded platform, Captain Splendid! Yes, I realize they’ve loosened up their iPrude stays a bit (self-conscious dropping of F-bombs, brief flashes of — mostly female — nudity), but I sure as Hell couldn’t see Married With Children or Justified
