I love the Sara being a terrible liar gag, and I love that it’s something they’ve been consistent about since the first episode

The pet rock has been ownerless since the death of it’s original owner, Sgt Rock.

I mean, I wouldn’t put it past them

If we’re talking influences, the plot (at least for the first two thirds) feels a lot like the Teen Titans episode Employee of the Month, which was also about a fast food restaurant becoming a craze for a menu item that turns out to be an alien product.

Also, Behrad’s ding ding eyebrow raise was a wonderful bit

That makes a lot of sense

I suspect it’s a price thing, at least in part. You’re probably absolutely right that the show is fairly confident in its original ideas (and they should be, they’ve nailed most of them), but I feel like there’s also a level where it costs some amount of money for the show to use properties from the comics (I believe…

I feel like Legends isn’t allowed to play around with the DC lore as much as the other shows, so I’m not sure how many canon alien species I’m expecting to show up this year, but I’m wondering if there was some influence on Kayla’s chestmouth from the plant people aliens in Far Sector

Raffi Barsoumian; are we sure he isn’t from Mars?

While I will agree that Rifftrax is great (and arguably funnier than the Netflix seasons of MST3k), I think it’s worth mentioning that Mike, Bill, and Kevin were each the second person in their respective role on MST3k. The idea of a possibly rotating cast is kind of baked into the series and while group chemistry can…

Ahem

This is making me really think that the crossover this year will be based on Millenium

There were episodes that went anthology, to a degree, one of them being 1001 Arabian Nights, so the idea has some precedence.  But yeah, I think a series would be the better format

So, two things. One, Godzilla Jr. I believe is canonically adopted; presumed to be the same species, but an unrelated specimen. While I don’t think the film comments on Minya, a lot of people just assume him to be adopted as well.

For the sake of the horny side of the internet, it’s truly a blessing we never got this.  Cyborg armaments and WWI fashion would have amplified Helga Sinclair’s ‘step on me’ vibes and caused a horny meltdown the likes of which we would still be recovering from.

If we have to say goodbye to Charly and Zari 1.0, please at least tell me that we get to keep Astra next year. Olivia Swann was an amazing addition this year and I would 100% love to see her in more of the show

Honestly, between the idea last week that she would eventually have to watch her mother die, and the idea this week that her mother wouldn’t want her to sacrifice her own happiness for hers, I feel like they’re setting up the idea of the Astra we know staying around somehow.  I wouldn’t be surprised, and I would be…

I got the idea that Sara saw enough to tell that they were on the right track to winning, but that it also included her death, so she went with it on faith that her death could lead to a solution and her friends could (probably) bring her back with the Loom

I’ll second this. I am genuinely amazed at how deeply this series understands the idealism at the heart of superheroes, especially when I feel like that idealism has kind of been overlooked in a lot of recent output from Marvel and DC (good output, too, just often focusing on other aspects of superhero action).  My…

If anyone is interested in watching some of these, I highly suggest Kamen Rider W and Kamen Rider Fourze as really good seasons. W is themed after a hardboiled detective (he tries to be hardboiled, but he’s too nice, so his partners dub him a “half-boiled” detective). The show is slick, stylish, clever, and full of…

Bollywood dance sequences and superheroes already work really well together
