Also, he writes all of them on a typewriter, and has apparently never moved past the hunt-and-peck method of typing.

I imagine it’s strictly guilty pleasure and/or so-bad-it’s-good material.

I’m surprised they only seemed to focus on benevolent metas, when the vast majority we’ve encountered have been bad guys, and a way to permanently remove their powers so they can’t escape and go on another crime spree seems like it’d be appreciated.

That seems to be how Cicada’s dagger works; not just anyone can hold out their hand and summon it to them. Of course, in his case, the dagger penetrated his chest, creating a bit more of a physical link.

I’d argue that ANY system where “tortured for all eternity” is something that’s on the table for ANYONE is inherently flawed.

It takes far more than 500,000 points to get into the Good Place. In Michael’s Fake Good Place (so take this with a grain of salt) we were told the average point total for Good Place residents was somewhere around a million.

I imagine Doug earns some negative points for enabling a local boy’s sadistic impulses.

“As I mentioned in my column on Enchanted, we often put an unfair expectation on relationship-focused media aimed at women and girls to function as instructional in a way we don’t with media aimed at men and boys. That British writer Jamie (Colin Firth) and Portuguese housekeeper Aurélia (Lúcia Moniz) have a magical…

No, see, that’s missing the whole joke. The point is that the audience is being set up to expect Colin to fail miserably. He friends repeatedly tells him that his plan to go to America because he thinks his accent will make him irresistible is idiotic, and he’s such a complete cartoon (going so far as to fill his…

On the other hand, if one or more get cancelled, then you’ve got a bunch of characters whose can either die or have their lives radically altered without it upending everything on their parent series (and whose actors can appear heavily in all parts of the crossover without straining their regular series commitments).

Nora Fries appeared in the “My name is John Deegan . . .” intro, as a patient Deegan was doing his unethical experiments on.

During last year’s crossover, I was really hoping for some sort of conversation where characters point out that Barry and Iris getting married is kinda weird seeing how Barry’s her adopted brother. Kara would point out that it’d be like if Alex was into her. Then, remembering her adopted sister has recently come out…

My favorite incident of Oliver keeping secrets is from near the end of Arrow Season 2, when Diggle and Felicity are looking for Oliver, and Amanda Waller tells them he’s at his secret hideout. They tell her, no, they already checked there, obviously. Then she explains that he’s at his OTHER secret hideout, the one he…

I’m assuming that, when Deegan turned himself into Superman, he looked at what powers the original Superman had, and told the book, “Okay, give me that, but, like . . . double.”

They could always exist on Earth-38, but under different names, like Henry Allen/Jay Garrick/Barry Allen.

Depends how you define your terms. Are bisexual people neither gay nor straight, or are they both gay and straight simultaneously?

I mean, it’s also one gay man letting another gay man go straight to hell (literally), so maybe not the BEST example to hold up.

Barry always brings out Oliver’s petty side, and I love it.

With all the reality warping going on this crossover, if there was ever a time to merge Earth-1 and Earth-38 together . . .

When they showed all the people affected by the particle accelerator explosion, I kept thinking about all the people we’ve shown being affected by it that night that they DIDN’T show clips of. That’s when it occurred to me . . .
