So we’ve gone from Kinja not showing us links to where folks replied to Kinja not notifying us when we get our precious stars? Jesus Christ.

Also they cast the creepiest most Victorian orphan looking kid ever! Plus that jump scare of Eclipso showing up on Beth’s laptop... I’ll be having nightmares about that.

As the whole Eclipso tormenting Beth plot played out, it occurred to me that most of what Eclipso was throwing was pretty ineffective. Mostly because it was stuff she either already knew or it just never came up. Like the issue of her race, that never came up before now, because it never bothered her. It made the…

Great episode for Beth. I loved the impressed Dr McNider telling her the goggles didn’t save her, that she saved herself. And maybe Beth’s parents aren’t complete garbage people

I got faked out by the Joel McHale credit too. When Courtney’s door was being knocked, I figured that was Starman. But it does beg the question, where the hell IS Sylvester? In-universe it’s been over a month since the Season 1 finale. How the hell is it taking that long to go from California to Nebraska?

The preview for next week’s episode is so heavily focused on Grundy that I am beyond-excited. It’s amazing. This week was also solid. I really enjoyed blurring the lines between what was real and what wasn’t. Yvette Monreal has been amazing in how she’s played the grief of everything that’s happened to her the last…

- This was such a damn good episode, but throughout the entire episode I was practically chanting “PLEASE somebody get this poor girl to Sara Lance ASAP.”

Admittedly, “telepathic character transplants their mind when they die” is hardly a new thing. And Brainwave certainly had AMPLE time to pull that off.

One time! Once! And I only half tried!

By 1968, the year in which this episode is set, she had competed against at least 59 male chess players (28 of them simultaneously in one game), including at least ten Grandmasters of that time, including Dragolyub Velimirovich, Svetozar Gligoric, Paul Keres, Bojan Kurajica, Boris Spassky, Viswanathan Anand and…

I forgot to mention another tiny detail I absolutely adored: Artemis spray-painted “ISA” on her backpack! Amazing. 

I guess the stunt person is mostly to credit, but Artemis in the fights was really fun & a cool mix of the fighting styles of her parents. I loved how much fun she was having, until Eclipso and then she wasn’t anymore 

Jesus christ, if you like the game, fucking pay for it. I’d apply this to music as well. If you enjoy it, support it. Art has value.

Grundy was there in spirit, and as a dog.

Yeah thats it but WAY more than 36 comics.  Its a magnum opus - 80 issues.  Plus you should run down Robinson’s JSA run too.

94-01 is the correct series, but it’s much more than 36 comics.

So they’re losing the Masters of the Universe to the Masters of the Universal?

Eh, I don’t think so?  It usually takes a few hours to dress a deer, so I can’t see that cooking a goat a few hours after killing it would be dangerous.

This episode was written by James Robinson!!!! If you aren’t familiar, go read his ENTIRE Starman run and get back to me. His work with The Shade in it is brilliant and the series as a whole was one of the great comic book series ever. It almost makes me wonder if we’ll get Jack Knight at some point. He and Johns…

Dude, have you ever tried to cut a pineapple? You need a pretty goddamn sharp knife!
