How did I only just find out Tony Leung is in this!!!

I’d generally agree, as long as we leave a ‘panhandle’ of northernness* that covers all the government types and beach homes in DelMarVa. I live in Arlington VA, and it doesn’t start to feel overly southern until you get about an hour west or south.  But insofar as you are pointing out that western PA is totally the…

The only way voting would not represent a population’s majority values would be if a majority of that population didn’t vote, which... would say a lot about that population’s values.

Ha, that would be amazing. “...there’s two of you?!”

I did enjoy this version’s attempt at explaining, which was basically “we’ll take anyone who’s willing to work without health insurance.”

Now I’m imagining someone looking at Clark and Superman and going “yeah, Lois definitely has a type.”

While in my heart of hearts I agree with the ‘at this point it’s their fault if they catch it and die,’ the problem is the risk of mutation. If we have a big enough pool of unvaccinated people, the virus can mutate into something that can get past the vaccine.

The ‘no big deal’ angle brings to mind the ‘it’s no worse that the Flu’ argument. Um, the flu has killed millions, dude. People only think it’s no big deal because we have a vaccine. 

I ditched it about the same time, and 100% assumed it got canceled after one season. Usually any show with a genre premise gets at least occasional shout-outs in geek-internet circles, but there was zero chatter on this one. Maybe because it ended up being more religious than sci-fi? (Except Leftovers definitely got…

Not sure how common it is in Hawaii (never been), but I’ve always been a fan of the ‘find a 3 hr tour to a single location that leaves from your hotel’ tourism model. Personally, I don’t like driving in new places, and for better or worse the tour companies tend to know the locations you don’t want to miss, if you…

I’d be okay with an alternate earth sibling. I just really don’t want to suddenly have to get into ‘hey ghost dad, did you cheat on mom / why didn’t you tell me I had a brother.’

I wonder if it’s partly because Lois and Clark are fully fledged, mature adults already - they don’t need the guidance of a parental figure like the other Arrowverse characters have, so the show hasn’t been forced to write him as one. (Yeah, technically Laurel and Oliver were adults, but they sure didn’t act like it…

Agreed. Even if they do totally trust him, what happens when he gets hit with red kryptonite, or body-swapped, or any of the other crazy things that can happen? *Of course* they need some way to stop him. 

Yeah, it read much more as “brother in arms” to me. I don’t see them making such a drastic change to the Superman origin story by giving him an actual biological sibling.

Oh, good call. I read it more as trying to hide how broken up he was about losing such a big part of himself, but ‘if we don’t fix this soon I’m going to die’ works too.

I assumed the spell specifically removed John’s magic (since it was “For John”).  It worked on John’s physical body, so Crowley was depowered when he was inhabiting John, and now John’s depowered now that he’s back to himself.

A prequel makes even less sense for this IP than most, since all the good stuff was in the later books - I always preferred the Maturin-spy heavy storylines.

I’ve always understood the general consensus to be Gotham ~ NYC; Metropolis ~ Chicago. Which admittedly doesn’t help much, since that’s still a roughly 10 hour drive from Kansas. But people from out that way always say they’re way more used to driving long distances for things than East Coasters are...

Except Season 2's Legion of Doom is all-time fave villains for me. Damien Darhk and Malcom Merlyn being catty at each other is pure LoT gold. (And my favorite Nate is s2 Nate, when he’s still primarily a history dork instead of a Bro.)

Agreed. Seems like a clear case of “shouldn’t matter” and “but if it matters, it’s entirely feasible that this (fictional fantasy) character could be non-white.”
