    Here's what I don't get about the way people complain about Taylor Swift singing about being a T-shirt wearing tomboy even though she is in fact more of a short skirt and high heel wearing cheer captain in real life: no one ever complains that Johnny Cash is not, in fact, named Sue; or that Michael Jackson never had a

    I think the conceit is that the blockade can quickly move to any point in the planet's orbit, so if you come in from another direction, they'll just move in front of you from that direction. Presumably it's impossible - or prohibitively dangerous - to drop out of hyperspace too close to the planet for the blockade to

    Dizzazzter.

    Your #8 was the one that bothered me the most. Not even so much his not calling the cops, but the fact that neither Bruce nor Alfred seemed to realize that when someone tells you that they're your good friend who only wants the best for you and the city and to prove how much they care about you they won't tell you who

    It seemed to me like what we heard when she came out was the sound of an entire room full of people trying to remember where they'd seen her before. Like, if you could hear what everyone was thinking, it would be "Is that a new cast member? She definitely hasn't been on the show before. Wait, is that his actual

    Personally, I took the comment about how many times they'd wiped Kate's memory to be just that - how many times he'd had to wipe her memory, not necessarily how many time this exact scenario had played out. Some of those times may have resulted simply from her peeking in the box, some may have been related to other

    Shouldn't that be Dr. Basil Disco?

    I saw the movie version of The Wiz when I was a little kid. You know how they've been doing Ask the AV Clubs about things that freaked you out as a kid and things you know you shouldn't be afraid of but are and suchlike? Well the scene at the end where the Witch is torturing Dorothy's friends freaked me right the hell

    Maybe Niel Patrick Harris? He can do a good smarmy con man/old timey huckster.

    Actually Kanan ultimately ends up getting his connection to the Force severed and losing his Jedi powers. He focuses on improving his piloting skills to compensate but still falls into a depression and puts on a lot of weight, so much so that the other Rebels take to derisively referring to him as "Porkins"…

    I forget if they ever established why or how Constantine first learned magic, but basically before the show started, he'd been a charismatic magical dilettante who accumulated a group of followers and then got overconfident and tried to exorcise a possessed girl but accidentally condemned her soul to Hell. He and his

    Exactly. They could easily say the NBC show was Earth 2 or Earth N or whatever. The Flash has established that people look the same from Earth to Earth.

    If you go to the Cambridge Dictionary Online pronunciation for "bygone," the audio clip they have for the US pronunciation is how I pronounce it. What they have for the UK pronunciation, however, does in fact rhyme with "Zygon."

    It's the Six Million Character Show: "We can build it, we have the continuity."

    Six seasons and a movie.

    I would have so loved for him to just look at her and say "How the hell are we equals? Seriously, name even one category that doesn't involve basic human anatomy in which we're even close to equal other than 'number of sisters brought back from the dead by Lazarus Pits.'"

    That wouldn't work though, because Constantine would already have known that visiting Ollie would involve at least one pretty guy.

    Constantine never referenced Arrow at all; they were on different networks, so - like Supergirl and Gotham - they weren't intended to be in the same continuity until Constantine got cancelled and they could do whatever the heck they wanted with it (really, they could even say that the shows still aren't in continuity

    I was going to make some comment about Constantine being Dresden's father and checked Wikipedia to make sure the one actually predated the other by long enough (he does, but only because I can totally buy Constantine getting someone pregnant at 15) and discovered that Harry Dresden's full name is Harry Blackstone

    The hellgrammite alien race from this show was based on a Superman villain named Hellgrammite (who was a human that got turned into a bug man, not an alien) who was, obviously, named after the real things.
