Bit of a pain, since the new Covenant in the DLC is all about online play. At least the new Old Hunter summon system for NPCs is a big improvement over the old one.

True, but on the other hand the marquee performers from the movies (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman etc) have all been declared off limits to the TV shows. They also got told at the last minute they couldn’t use Blue Beetle (who they swapped out for a very Beetle-esque Atom), and Booster Gold is similarly blocked from…

Damn straight he has.

The most memorable part of the first season of SAC was the reveal of the true nature of the Laughing Man. Undercutting that in this way makes it pretty clear that this is probably just going to be an attempt to cash in on a well known name, rather than actually try to take what made the show good and put it in a new…

The store on the airship seems to have a guaranteed X-01 helmet sitting on a shelf at the back, though you have to steal it.

I’m constantly surprised at what Flash can do with a TV show’s budget, and there must be some very smart decisions being made behind the scenes to avoid the seams showing.

I’m not sure I’d want to fight “The Icicle Fiddler”.

Ah, I clearly missed that entirely.

Hmm, shows how much I remember of the show. I thought that was misdirection for the real “Event”.

They actually had a pretty decent Event, that surprisingly lived up to the hype.
(spoiler for a cancelled TV show)
The aliens brought their home planet through a portal into a binary orbit with Earth, which was a pretty good payoff and setup for the second season. Shame hardly anybody was watching at that point.

All phase 3 films will include Ewoks.

It’s 1980s Soviet technology, things exploding all the time is par for the course.

You have to keep poking your head out to draw her fire while the supply drop is incoming. If she doesn’t see you for long enough she’ll move, and “long enough” is less time than it takes for the box to arrive.

Not entirely sure this is right - there’s at least one cutscene that you can miss if you don’t look for it that I’ve found so far. No spoilers, but after you complete the first “Extract The Wandering Motherbase Soldier” mission, look for a door with a blue light above it on the top floor of the Medical strut.

Way back when, there were rumours that the fifth season of Blackadder was going to be “The Blackadder Five” - a Beatles spoof set in the 1960s. Given the actors are all in their 50s and 60s now, an update of that premise set in the 90s, with them desperately attempting a comeback (cashing in on the meta-narrative)…

I think if you’re classifying asteroids as “worlds” then you’re somewhat inflating your numbers, which may be in character for this empire, but still seems a little shaky.
And a thousand is a pretty large number in this context - that’s over five times as many worlds as there are countries on Earth.

That makes a bit more sense, though it does point to a poorly worded blurb.

In the story, Valerian (DeHaan) and Laureline (Delevingne) are exploring Syrte, capital planet of a system of 1,000 worlds.

Yeah, I had heard it many times but always just as a repeated joke, rather than a quote. Still pretty apposite though - “what follows” is death, and the only way to escape death is through reproduction. Hurray for clumsy metaphors!

I haven’t seen the movie, but this reminds me of the line (usually attributed to the Scottish writer and psychiatrist RD Laing, but I can’t find any definitive proof he said it):
