Ted Kord isn't dead in the comics anymore. I think a lot of DC's reticence to use him in the show comes from their plans to do a Booster Gold/Blue Beetle buddy movie, which Greg Berlanti is supposed to direct.

I don't know about an inherent power but I'd love it all he manages to cobble together now is a belt that has the shrinking powers (like in the comics) and a regular costume/super-suit/outfit instead of the whole Iron Man-looking metal armor.

Mick and Vixen's banter had me smiling quite a bit. I liked their flirty energy as well.

CatCo is not just one magazine. It's a media conglomerate that's full name is CatCo Worldwide Media. It owns magazines, radio stations (remember shock jock Live Wire), and more. Time Magazine and InStyle and Entertainment Weekly are all owned by the same company. CatCo isn't just one thing.

No, it's not a new development. That map I linked was from 1990 and all kinds of older comics from DC referenced real cities. Green Arrow: Longbow Hunters, for example, took place in Seattle. Or during Diana's time off from being Wonder Woman in the 60s/70s she ran a boutique in New York.

The fake cities exist alongside the real ones. The actual locations of the cities are a bit vague and their locations are kind of *handwave* ~over there somewhere~, but here's a map from back in the 90s that kind of falls in line with some other maps I've seen over the years. This will give you an idea of where all…

Both of those comics were so good. I wish more people had given them a chance. Demon Knights was especially a favorite of mine. A few issues of that series really highlights how poorly LoT adapted Vandal Savage. What a waste.

I'm really, really looking forward to Oliver meeting Supergirl. I feel like it's going to be a lot of fun.

I love this episode for bringing the term "business hammocks" into my life. I have no idea how many times I have made reference to needing to order business hammocks for our office, but it's not a small number. That entire exchange and the existence of the "hammock district" makes me happy.

Between "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken" and "The Journey of Natty Gann", I definitely had the impression as an 80s (and early 90s) child that the Great Depression was the perfect era for a young lady to run away from home to make it on her own, have an adventure, bond with an animal friend, and meet an attractive older…

I actually really want that as well. I think it could be very really healing for Theon to Varys who has achieved a lot after what happened to him and to see Grey Worm having found love with Missandei having found love. It would be good for him to see that he can still have a life.

The look was her recognizing the Selina was mocking her fake accent and over-pronunciation of Spanish words. The joke was that she's a white lady from Ohio. Her husband was born in Mexico, not her, but she plays it up to appeal to the demographic.

I had to see a specialist for something that was not at all urgent and it took a few months. My stepfather required a specialist for something urgent and it was almost immediate. I find that most of the long wait times that get referenced are for things that are not emergencies and that can wait while others with…

There was only one thing this episode could do that would make me sad it wasn't coming back and that was for the characters to actually have a fucking conversation with Ben about what happened. The fact that everyone made huge and illogical assumptions and are just running around basing everything on those nonsense…

Near the end of the episode where she looks over towards the shed.

This whole episode's highlight for me was Gene shouting out "I love my weird, brave sister!" That sums up so much about what I love about this series.

Dany had told Jorah and Daario that she wanted their help with her plan, so I'd assumed that they or the other widow woman had poured out some oil or something on the ground and/or that the braziers held a flammable liquid as well. When it began to spread up a staircase, I figured that (in addition to barring the…

That was such an unexpected little touch to the episode. I wouldn't have anticipated it for a second but it made such perfect sense the moment they brought it out.

I really loved this episode. There seemed to be a lot of energy in all the performances. I thought Iris, in particular, stood out during the episode. There was a little extra pep to her this episode that felt like a mix of adrenaline and finally getting used to the world she's now a part of. Plus her and Barry's…

I think this is one of the only shows I've ever seen capture hyperbolic fandom-speak properly. The way Louise waxes poetic about her "disgusting beautiful garbage angel" that she wants to slap seems lifted straight from almost any reaction to some hot picture of pretty much any actor. Hell, I'm almost certain that if…
