The swearing didn’t bother me overmuch, but I definitely bumped on Dahj calling her boyfriend “dude” and referring to something as “cool.” I don’t think Trek would work with FIRELY-esque “shiny”s and “gorram”s, but 20/21st century colloquialisms aren’t the way to go either.

The Hustons are certainly notable for having three generations, as are the Barrymores. Any others like that besides the Elliots? (Bob/Chris/Abby)

Since neither Lwaxana or her husband speak with that accent, my fanwank explanation is that the Trois left Deanna with a family friend for an extended period in her formative years. Deanna started to speak like the caregiver while her parents were away. When they got back, Lwaxana was SO furious at the sound of Deanna’…

I used to be out of the grays. . . can I please get re-ungreyed?

My understanding of the Sony/Marvel split is like so:

Latifah could be okay, but having watched the original out of the corner of my eye back in the day and missing the British-ness of it all in Denzel’s version. . . I’m picturing Helen Mirren as McCall and now nothing else will do. ; )

In fairness, he goes to Africa on a diplomatic mission in khakis, then peels down to just the pants once the mission goes to shit and he starts swinging around on vines and such. He should probably be naked, sure (my wife certainly thought so) but keeping the pants probably is more “realistic” than conveniently finding…

Famer’s retcon is that the note actually said “White Skin” (the English translation of the ape-language “Tarzan”) and that Tarzan’s “biographer” Burroughs got it wrong.

Farmer’s book TARZAN ALIVE becomes a bit of a slog after a while, but the short story “An Interview With Lord Greystoke” is terrific.

As fun as Kate’s Satan was, they should have had someone else as Dersh and used Lovitz’s take on The Devil:

I’m a mediocre regular at a karaoke bar. One night, the local news was in shooting a segment promoting the place, so I stayed waaaay clear of the stage while the regular good singers (plus a few ringers) killed a bunch of songs and got interviewed.

After about an hour, the tv crew packs up and leaves. Figuring I was…

Yeah, I love THE QUIET MAN, so I have a hard time hating “Up The Long Ladder.” But I understand why others wouldn’t. . .

I’m a pretty handy guy who likes watching onscreen renovation but found THIS OLD HOUSE a bit slow and the A&E flipping shows kinda gross in their avarice. So when I discovered HGTV a few years ago I found it a bit of an upgrade, enjoyment-wise. FIXER UPPER was pretty good for a while, and PROPERTY BROTHERS was…

Not necessarily. If Batman has abandoned Gotham (and I’m behind on BATWOMAN so I apologize if they’ve specified WHY - the hadn’t, last time I saw an ep), then sending Damien to live with The Kents isn’t inconceivable.

It’s also certainly possible the rumors are incorrect and Damien Wayne won’t be on SUPERMAN AND LOIS.

It was implied that Earth -38/SUPERGIRL’s Superman knew a Batman, and BATWOMAN obviously has an (offscreen) one.

Did it strike anyone else that the POTUS scene must have been written for a Special Guest Star that the production couldn’t land? That was a loooong speech delivered by somone with not much presence. Bruce Boxleitner isn’t exactly Olivier, but he registered at least. The new president was a complete nonentity, IMO.

Some people think the casting descriptions for the two kids on SUPERMAN AND LOIS sound like Jonathan and Damien Wayne. So maybe “the boys” doesn’t refer to two sons. . . ?

I guess he was stealing it from Patton Oswalt:

I forget if it’s my buddy’s impression or he’s imitating a standup he saw, but his Nolte Han Solo always slays me (type will not do it justice):

I’d love for Joss to be involved, but if he can’t/won’t spare the time, he should turn it over to Minear and let him make something in that ‘Verse.

“. . . Timothée Chalamet set to play Bob Dylan in a new biopic from Logan and Walk the Line director James Mangold . . “ FTFY.
