Haven't seen it. And yes.

Smurfs=Communism

I just looked it up to be sure, but he grew up in Walsall in the U.K. He did go to art college in Calgary though.

I loved that. Byrne's a Brit as well, I think. And I'm pretty sure it was the Man of Steel miniseries.

The flashbacks this season have been pretty good, so it's not a bad part of the formula, but there's clearly a variable degree of how relevant they are from year to year. Some of the best weeks don't require the flashback, or explore a different time period or idea. I'm actually curious what the show structure will…

"Earth's Mightiest Heroes"? Shots fired, Marvel!

I decided last week John Jr and Baby Sara are twins, and external factors (determined by timeline) affected which fetus died in the womb.
Then I drank a bottle of scotch for how messed up these shows have become.

So did the Justice League cartoon.

I love this whole conversation. This was me with Barry Allen's kids (and the relation to the Legion of Superheroes) over in the Flash boards. Carry on.
Oh, I will throw in I loved the way Alan Moore used single issues of Swamp Thing's journey through space to touch on Hawkpeople, Rann, etc.
James Robinson duplicated…

He really should be Bloodsport or one of those other gun-toting Superman villains.
Edit: Oh, he's Barrage! It's not the second name I was trying to come up with, but he's in the category.

I'll check it out!

I wish more tv dreamed big that way. Like William Hung on American Idol.

Shit what if Lyla was pregnant with twins and Barry changing the timeline determined which one died in the womb? When the fuck did these shows get so dark?

"Hey! I washhh aimin' for their eyeballsh!"

Sorry to hear it man. Stay strong.

I think Hunter's Moon was written solely for the Fillion/Gina Torres pair up

I really liked Life on Mars too. Annnnd I didn't hate the ending, which at least was something I hadn't thought of. The idea was on the nose, sure, and the execution was shoddy because of the show's cancellation and…wait, was I defending this?
Anyway, I get why someone who had seen the British version would despise the…

Yeah I feel like she was consciously channeling the Eleventh Doctor when she wrote it, but I can't help but think Matt would have overplayed it.

I still love that the normal people in Fables were known as mundies, because they came from the mundane world.

The Potter books reflect England's fear of devolving into fascism since WWII, but even as an American, I have no idea what Rowling is trying to say Magical America was like. What's the metaphor?
