    This is probably more complicated than anything the show would want to do, but I would have loved to have had a bit where Lex actually looks up lots of useful information in Wally's body but, upon returning to his own body, realizes he can't actually remember any of it. Then he realizes that he's used to just

    Looking at it from the point of view of a starting point for an adaptation I have a very slight preference for Barry, BUT I have a very strong preference for leaving the story of Barry's sacrifice and Wally's maturation from sidekick into rightful inheritor of the Flash legacy intact. For me, the ideal Flash story

    I always liked Taylor Negron, since I first saw him decades ago on one of those cable channels that eventually got folded into or supplanted by Comedy Central that showed standup comedy near constantly. Because of him I've told countless people that they don't want carpeting and, in fact, want an area rug.

    Is it just me or does it seem like there seem to be a lot of people basically tweeting "anyone who'd go to see Cosby is an asshole and there sure were a lot of them at the Cosby show I went to see last night"? (I get that some of the people tweeting are protesters or passersby, but the people actually talking about

    Yeah, I think if someone equates "preferring that the women you sleep with don't have penises but registering grudging acceptance if they do" with being transphobic because of the "grudging" part, they're officially too sensitive. I mean, sure, the show could have just not made a joke about Archer sleeping with

    If you look at a list of the winners and nominees over the years, like on Wikipedia or some place, you'll see a mildly depressing trend. In the early days, it's rare to find a stretch of three consecutive years where at least two of the songs that won aren't still considered classics today (e.g. Over the Rainbow, When

    Yeah, I know, there's no real good analogue to "eating like a plant" that she can do before getting her powers - a little kid who only eats meat because she doesn't like to kill plants is a bit out there, though I suppose she could try to only eat things like candy and dairy products - but I think just not giving her

    It might be canonical to the comics and not something the Gotham writers made up, but Poison Ivy being a vegan is the kind of thing that sounds reasonable at first but makes less sense the more you think about it. I get that making a character a vegan (if it's not being used as something they're smugly self-righteous

    How is it even possible that Gordon's a security guard at a mental hospital for the criminally insane and no one bothered to point out the one inmate that likes to dress and act like a nurse (and is allowed to for some reason)? Shouldn't "how to tell the staff and inmates apart - you might be pleasantly surprised!"

    I Donal what you're talking about.

    Barbara's not upset because she thinks Gordon has a new relationship, she's upset because she assumed they had an understanding that if they ever broke up, they were only allowed to move on to people of their own gender. She kept up her end of the understanding.

    Well, Birds of Prey had something remotely to do with Batman (including having him appear in costume in a flashback) but only ran for 13 episodes.

    It took me forever to realize where I'd seen her before. I'd half convinced myself it was just her mild resemblance to Lily Tomlin that made her seem familiar until it finally clicked.

    I'm seriously hoping that if they ever do a Flash episode where Barry discovers he can vibrate into alternate dimensions, they work in a joke about him visiting the worlds of DC shows on other networks, if necessary using the kind of subtle implications they use in the comics when two books want to do a crossover but

    Can the cute kid be Obadiah Stane?

    I think a great advantage to the "series of miniseries" model is that they could easily skip ahead a few years between installments and change up the setting and cast for each storyline if they want to.

    Isn't that a little like watching a show about World War I and saying that since we know Hitler comes to power a few years later, the Allies must lose?

    I have to agree. He always struck me as very talented and imaginative, but his most vocal fans insist he's some kind of visionary shaman.

    For some reason Eiling saying "All right, I've become what I hate. I'll give you that" in the same tone of voice you might use to admit that you should have gotten to the theater earlier when you get really crappy seats at a movie always struck me as so on-the-nose that it almost became subtle again. Like he was

    At least he wore stripes. "Speedy" just made no sense at all.
