Though it was really more for, "don't break character and talk about being on a reality show when you're on a reality show."

I do recall the prize was supposed to be "A Sci-Fi Channel movie", which certainly IMPLIED that they were going to make a movie ABOUT your superhero. But vague phrasing allowed them to just shove him into some other thing and call it a day.

With MBFOF, they seemed to at least realize while filming how utterly fucked up it really was, since when they did the reveal they really bent over backwards to butter up the "wife's" family by telling them how amazing and loving and supportive they were and PLEASE DON'T BE MAD AT YOUR DAUGHTER FOR PUTTING YOU THROUGH…

But Phoebe was building it up before that, and having trouble. Maybe it was enough to reach Claire at the hospital, but not the event.

Well, the Hiro that decided to do that isn't this one. He no longer existed.

Some people seem to be complaining that it wasn't more explicitly shown. I thought it was pretty clear, myself.

A "retcon" would be, like, saying in a third movie, "THIS is really the guy who killed you Uncle, he was working with the guy you thought did." when the first movie showed nothing of the sort.

Right. Prime Harris regrew a hand, possibly with a cloned-watch, but he would have wanted the REAL watch back.

Right, they went to the conference not because their son was an Evo, but in hopes of finding an Evo to cure him.

Earth-2 never got Buffy. But they did get a 20-year run of LA Law. It's very strange.

I think we have ample evidence of Berlanti's good faith with superheroes that we can fully call Studio Shenanigans on that one and give him the pass.

Some episodes were really good, but many of them really half-assed their "twist". There's one pattern I really hated, and the Lovitz one follows it, and there's one with Mimi Rogers that does it even dumber.

You have to wonder if that's imbedded in a less praising sentence.

Shamelessly materialistic?

Isn't posting YouTube videos his job, though?

Whenever Annie Potts isn't on screen, people should be asking, 'Where the hell was Annie Potts?"

That excuse doesn't hold; everyone knows you have a Power Girl and you use it for all the same things.

Where do we put the voicework of Clancy Brown in the mix?
