    You forgot to have the judge instruct the bailiff to cover Iris's ears before revealing to the rest of the world that Barry's the Flash.

    I'm pretty sure he's being ironic. I mean, his username is clearly a Big Bang Theory episode title.

    Your comment made me think that it would be beautiful if they make a Ghost Rider or Daimon Hellstrom series (or heck, if the Iron Fist series gets mystical enough) and the first episode ends with a coven of cultists chanting around a pentagram on the floor and one says "Send us your emissary, oh dark lord Mephi…" and

    I keep fearing that they'll introduce Harleen Quinzel as an adult (because it's dead easy to think of ways to use her as a still-relatively-sane psychiatrist, but figuring out how to fit her in as a kid would take effort and not using her at all would take restraint) which will make her eventual relationship with Ivy

    Why not go all out: If he's contemplating how to strike fear, what makes you think he'd get a green ring?

    For some reason I found it absolutely hilarious to watch the scene where the Ogre is about to kill Barbara until she started going on about how no one loves her, imagining that he wasn't targeting her because of her connection to Gordon and that she was just a random, if coincidental, victim. I love the idea that when

    You try carrying that many pizzas and still having a free hand.

    Wesley is totally Smithers.

    He was consolidating all the drugs in Hell's Kitchen under Madame Gao's control. The plan behind that could have been to kill two birds with one stone: 1) Have enough power and resources to achieve his goals, 2) Have only one person he needs to take out to "clean up" the drug trade once he doesn't need it anymore.

    Both the person I was watching with and I came to the same conclusion. There's a point when Wesley gets a very circumspect look on his face that I was sure was meant to indicate that he was either feeling guilty or worried that someone would find him out. (Though I didn't think it was entirely jealousy, so much as

    Right. (And it's actually just the two wins - the nomination was a Golden Globe I misremembered as an Oscar nom)

    Technically Affleck's worth two, and a nomination.

    The thing that bugs me is that Spider-Man in the comics graduated from high school in the 60s. It's been 50 years since the version of the character that seems to be the only one anyone wants to make a movie about has been the "real" Spider-Man.

    People who want to pronounce "gif" with a hard "g" because they think it sounds better are entirely welcome to their opinion. But when someone insists that the "g" MUST be hard because it stands for "graphic," I have to wonder if that person also pronounces "laser" as "lass-ear" and "scuba" as "scuh-baah." (In other

    The DC-Listers

    I definitely won't argue that a lot of stuff that made sense in the original trilogy retroactively became questionable after the prequels came out. In Revenge of the Sith, the clones are flying ships that are clearly meant to be precursors of X-Wings and A-Wings, as though they forgot which side actually uses those in

    Yeah, I guess it's one of those crazy movie things that would never happen in real life, like the Russian army issuing only half their soldiers guns and telling the unarmed ones to wait for the armed ones to die and take their guns, or the US Army not properly armoring soldiers and vehicles because it's more cost

    Like Snart said, he's in it for the kicks. He only wants the Flash's identity for leverage, so he can do just what he did: go about his business and wave the identity over Barry's head if he tries to stop him.

    The part about Cicso being long dead to him was just because he's from the distant future. Everyone alive in 2015 died long before Wells was born.

    The shields thing illustrates the different resource management philosophies of the Empire and the Rebellion. The Empire had vast reserves of manpower and lots of territory to patrol, most of their time was spent policing civilian areas where there was little armed resistance, and they were run by an evil bastard who
