I'm one of the poor, shameless fools who LIKED Robert Rodriguez's Predators for being exactly the kind of cheesy B-movie studios used to crank out in the eighties. So hearing that Shane friggin' Black is writing ANOTHER Predator movie? I'm in heaven right now.

I'm still sad that the Prometheus sequel has essentially derailed that Neil Blomkamp Aliens sequel with Sigourney Weaver and Michael Biehn. I mean, they BOTH probably would turn out terrible, but at least the Blomkamp movie stands a better chance of being coherent. And Michael Biehn ain't gettin' any younger.

Hells to the YES!!!

I stopped about eight episodes in. It was a decent enough T.V. show, but it just wasn't compelling enough to bring me back after a while… I suppose the operative word would be "dull".

I always considered two hours to be the perfect length for a typical action movie (plus or minutes ten minutes or less). Horror and comedy feel more comfortable around the 90 minute mark.

I don't think he went public with Jay Garrick's name. I think Zoom went public as the Flash, and then Wells figured out that the Flash was, in reality, a man named Jay Garrick… so Zoom just assumed the name Jay Garrick when he was confronted by Wells, and when he eventually showed up on Earth-1 .

I like to imagine Felicity's legs gave out and she toppled over in the hallway outside Ollie's apartment about two seconds after she closed the door.

I think it was just a little on the nose for Felicity to regain her ability to walk just in time for her to literally walk out on Oliver. I couldn't help but let out a disbelieving chuckle when her first tentative steps brought her slowly towards the front door.

Interesting… I actually haven't watched Xena, but I've been meaning to dig into it! I'll definitely check it out on Netflix.

Cool! I can dig it. I lean more towards Kant, myself (as I'm sure is pretty obvious).

Not necessarily! We don't know how long Zoom has been impersonating Jay Garrick. So who's to say that Zoom didn't cold cock Jay and stuff him in a dungeon lair BEFORE "the Flash" of Earth-2 went public?

Ah. Utilitarianism. Well, fair enough.

Okay.

Well, I suppose the sh*ttiest thing imaginable would be if they were torturing him, or if they shot him in the head and buried him in an unmarked grave. But y'know, in most cases where you're disappeared off the face of the Earth by a shady quasi-military organization with no accountability, they're not going to set

THANK you! I knew there had to be more to it than just a Spoony reference.

Well, the use of the character in this episode WAS all kinds of generic. So it's not like this had to be Silver Banshee. Hell, this character could have been anyone, which is MY problem with Siobhan Smythe in the episode— the most specificity they got out of her was a gag about how her name was pronounced.

I beg to differ. I was one of the loud-mouthed traditionalists who hated that book and was just waiting for Peter Parker to come back. I really disliked the whole "Otto Octavius steals Peter's whole life with no repercussions" angle (kinda hard to root for a hero who gets his start by violating every facet of another

FINALLY! After making the truly horrifying decision to lock Maxwell Lord up without a trial, due process, or any acknowledgement of his civil rights (and then pretty much making a joke of the fact in the following episode), SOMEbody had the guts to bring up that, y'know, that's a pretty indefensible move. Fascistic,

It's a reference to video reviews produced by Noah Antwiler, a.k.a. "The Spoony One" or just Spoony. He did some reviews a year or two ago about some Reb Brown movies, and for some reason Frank Stallone kept popping up in his discussions— through a movie trailer, a small part in a Bigfoot movie, etc. But at the same
