I found it charming and endearing, honestly... although I wouldn’t have if Biz Markie hadn’t recently died.

But let’s be clear, 61 of those flew under the radar and it’s only the success of Richie Rich that made this happen.

When Y: The Last Man was announced as a TV show in November 2010, it was relatively unusual for American TV to make live-action shows based on comics. The Y show will finally premiere in September 2021. In between, 62 live-action American shows based on comics have debuted on TV:

The British always like to imagine/cast themselves as Romans so that’s probably part of it as well.

I know it’s considered a classic, but I have a hard time with the fact that pretty much the lone female character in The Princess Bridge spends most of the movie being a helpless mcguffin.

Poor, poor you, finding out that not everyone likes the same things.

Must come as quite a shock to you.

Yeah I’ve always strongly suspected that the reason The Princess Bride has done so well is because they framed the entire story from a male POV. Grandpa reading the story to his grandson. Men and boys would not have watched it if it had opened on Buttercup and Wesley’s story.

He really was! He spent his last years in France as a guest of the French king and is even buried there!

The Astra-Spooner friendship did happen fast but I buy it. Apparently the actress really became friends on set & the writers noticed & started writing to it, which I think helps, the chemistry feels real. And what we do know about them--both having mother issues and feeling very alienated and alone and like

I loved how worried Astra was when Spooner was in a coma & them sitting together at the wedding. Them becoming BFFs was my favorite thing this season & almost makes up for the loss of the Ray-Nate bromance.

Or John included getting his magic back in the demon deal, which is the more on brand option.

They should totally hire her to replace Chibnall. Please, BBC.

“We are all connected,” stoned Sara opines (one of the best line readings in the history of this or any show, ever),

Since Girl!Spooner was taken to the Fountain by Astra, just like in the original timeline (give or take Astra’s involvement), the timeline was still intact, at least from the girl’s perspective.  She didn’t know her mom survived or what had really happened to cause them to be separated.

it feels like someone slipped in a scene when the writers’ room wasn’t looking because they didn’t want Johnny C to die.

I’d love to know the reason for John’s last-minute resurrection, a bizarre development that somehow managed to tip the inexplicably yet definitely comprehensible Fountain stuff back over the line of incomprehensibility

They had Intergang show up on Superman & Lois too. Perhaps there’ll be even more of them in the future.

It’s nice that they are giving Kelly more to do but they should have done that two seasons ago. I also still don’t see any romantic chemistry between her and Alex. It doesn’t help that they rarely show more affection than two relatives would.

I appreciated that Nia was almost smart enough not to  fall for Nyxly’s fifth-dimensional trickery & knew she shouldn’t trust her & should listen to the owl. But  wanting to see your dead mom is a pretty powerful motivation 

A “B” feels about right. This wasn’t a very ambitious episode of Supergirl, and everything felt by-the-numbers down to the corrupt prison warden. But it was all well-executed, and agreed this really built Kelly’s transformation into Guardian in a way that never worked for Jimmy.
