I wonder if it’s two things that create the sense of it happening more, rather than it actually happening more.

I haven’t got the spine for this conversation.

I mean, after several shows where it takes a season or two (or ten) to properly become the Costumed Hero they’re supposed to become, a show that stampedes to “Here’s the hero, here’s the team LET’S GO” is a nice change of pace.

Sounds like your new girlfriend has potential to be The Good Wife.

“In 2009 you all didn’t even have Insta, and barely anything on YouTube. It was practically pre-historic.”

Part of that seems to stem from reconciling the tone of the source material with modern day sensibilities.  They talk about the JSA and their past like it was a “simpler time” like the 1940s/50s (as those original Golden Age heroes were), but in this context, it’s 2009, and it doesn’t quite fit.  The choice to use…

Does the first partner walk out of the room when done, cigarette in mouth, sunglasses on, carrying a box with a tentacle porn painting on the top?  Asking for a friend.

“What Was Your First Concert?” “To explain this, I must tell you about a gray and grim day in my fourteenth year, where I found myself in the back of a taxi with a nineteen-year-old woman from the local college, which was the start of an adventure I have not forgotten...”

You’re not wrong, but I’ve personally always been delighted by the full-commitment to the absurdity of it.

The monitor measures how much he’s using.  The claim is that they don’t have a way to measure how much he has left.  But for, you know, reasons, he burns through it more when he’s upset, so just getting him mad drains him.

I never quite got used to that.

Dude has written more books than a lot of people have read.

Right.  She was against it until the Romulans were killing the drone en masse.

And still a beloved DA.

Oh, absolutely.  

When I delivered pizzas, the sex offers from customers were rare.

I wonder how much of that has come from the way fetishes have been framed in Savage Love.  Like, Dan has made a point of not shaming kinks and saying “It’s OK to need this, it’s OK to recognize getting it is important to you.”  

“Statement?  The statement is I look good in gray and I don’t like shoes.”

The long-awaited return of Citizen Steel, sliding across the floor on his scooter to take out three guys at once!
