Yeah they can totally go years one through ten Barry, eleven through twenty Wally, then twenty one through infinity with Bart or John Fox or somebody.

No worries. Some heroes can't outlive the "main" one, like Superman or maybe Batman (although Dick Grayson as Batman has been fun). Comics do come back around to the best known ones eventually (Flash, Green Arrow, Green Lantern) but they can squeeze quite a few good years out of a graduated sidekick. Mark Waid's run

I thought it was possible, given how he was one of the characters the show didn't seem to know what to do with after season one.

John Lithgow as Lex Luthor

This made me laugh because he played Joran Van Der Sloot in a Lifetime movie

And the entire Team Arrow showing up at the police station to visit Ollie? I get why Laurel kept having scenes in Capt. Lance's office, she basically works there. Realistically she should have been terrified going in to work every day. But the two buff dudes and the super hacker trying to look innocent while waltzing

This is chilling because of how real world accurate it is.

I really wanted her to be Talia revived by the Pit. I mean I never really thought it would be that, but it would have beat the crap out of 'twin sister'

Or a Deadshot/Cupid/Captain Cold/Heat Wave Suicide Squad. Their third episode in the Flash was unnecessary. I wished they would have been arrested the previous time so they could have appeared in Suicidal Tendencies.

Upvoted for DS9

I always figured, regardless of what the DVD extras stated, that Jacob created the infertility, a la Biblical Plague, to test his peoples' resolve.

And I may be wrong but it seemed from what little we were shown that Ethan lived with DHARMA in the daytime and stole babies with Ben at night. No wonder he's a sociopath.

There may have been two lists: Ben's kidnap these people for my surgery, and Jacob's list Tom knew about, which I think could be "abduct these people in general". I think that second list is the one Cindy and the kids were on. I assumed that meant to remove the purely good people from the playing field, so the

Plus it's a metaphor for people's relationship with God, at least in the Western, Judeo-Christian sense. Some Others will believe fervently, some will need proof. Wherever Ben fell exactly on the faith scale, ultimately when he faced his god, he wanted to know why he wasn't special. He was selfish about that

Totally agree with the review in that the episode was super busy. I thought when we got the obvious split early in the episode of Ray vs Ollie/Kaznia mission that Kaznia would serve the function the flashbacks usually do. I was surprised we got Deadshot flashbacks, or the concept of it anyway, but the execution was

50 Flashes of Scarlet

I do like Barry Allen, always have. The Flash book is kind of the same situation with me as Swamp Thing. I loved Mark Waid's and Alan Moore's work on those respective books, I'm hesitant a relaunch won't live up. But I love the Flash, so I will give it a shot.

I heard it was good! I'll put it on the list. Thanks!

Hey folks, any good recommendations on which tpb's I should pick up in the New 52? I was a teenager in the 90's, so I still lean toward the post-Crisis sensibility. I have read Batman/Detective etc, and just finished Aquaman (although I'm generally not a Geoff Johns fan). I'm thinking Green Arrow next. Any thoughts?

True, but I think it might have had an uncomfortable subtext of black actor is evil, white actor is good. I hope if it had played out with AAA, they would have flipped the script. Eko had a great deal of self imposed moral fortitude, I think it was likelier Locke would have turned (as it actually did play out) and you
