but I barely know her!

Wasn't she just recovering from nearly freezing to death? That would put a crimp in a lot of people's fighting ability.

"Well….that happened".

Yep. She filled in for the Irene Cara role. Her rendition of the theme song wasn't that great. Her version of "Flashdance" totally slayed, though.

Didn't they try this already? There was a prequel series called "Manchester Prep" (featuring a pre-fame Amy Adams!) that was going to premiere on FOX in Fall of '99, then got canned at the last minute because parents were complaining about the incest storyline ("The Brady Bunch never had it this good" as one character…

My guess is that Zoom is Johnny Quick, the evil Flash of Earth 3

Where's Jobe from "Banshee" or Shore Leave from "Venture Bros"?

More fun casting. Siobhan Smythe is played by Italia Ricci, who is married to Robbie Amell aka Firestorm/Deathstorm on The Flash…who is the cousin of Stephen Amell, star of Arrow.

These popped up in Taco Bell in the 90's, but they also used to be full of water, making the trick in the video much, much harder. Then the last few years, they kept the game the same, but without the tank full of water. I discovered this trick years ago, but I didn't do it because it felt like I was ripping them off.

Considering that the story involves Russia, 1986, and nuclear meltdowns, I'm surprised that the writers used Valentina "Negative Woman" Vostok instead of Mikhail "Pozhar" Arkadin, a metahuman who gained his powers at Chernobyl and later joined the Firestorm matrix with Martin and Ronnie.

I've beaten it in normal and Hero modes, and I just started a new game this weekend. Already got the Master Sword and entered the Dark World.

Who is also a member of the Thawne bloodline, so that ties in nicely with the whole "hating the Flash" thing.

It's probably Hunter Zolomon. I mean, 1) that's who Zoom is in the comics and 2). It's in his fucking name! ZOlOMon!

"the final scene appeared to wipe it clean."

It's clear that this version of J'onn was nerfed in the powers department to keep him from becoming Deus Ex Machina Man. He doesn't just use his telepathy to erase memories, since he might also erase the rest of your mind, and can't phase for long periods of time so he's not completely untouchable. Otherwise, the…

They even did that in the Supergirl film in 80s, so it would also be a callback as well. Bonus!

Precisely. A bunch of survivors from his planet are launching a military attack on Earth, and Clark just sits this out? Makes no sense at all.

That was probably the most disappointing thing about the episode (aside from not having Kara use FTMWHE's epic "BURN" line on Non), is how Kal-El's role was hyped up with a talent search, and ended up with some kid wearing a crappy sweat suit for two minutes and tossing off a line that could have been done by any of…

It's possible it'll be past or future versions of Carter they'll be running into.

Well, he just finished his multi-episode arc on Scorpion, he's totally free to do so now.
