But was it a "hey, I resemble that remark" face or a "whoah, you just insulted my dead best friend" face?

The addition of her mother as a villain is a good sign. As long as the show can have an evil Luthor, it doesn't need to make every Luthor evil.

That's actually the perfect excuse to have Kara get blackout drunk: it's not irresponsible to drink huge amounts of alcohol if she she knows she can't get drunk. How was she supposed to know that what she thought was mere mortal Earth beer was actually black market Apokaliptian hyper-ale?

I'd like them to do one where Jemma and her boyfriend of the week are sitting at a table and either a couple even more awful approaches them and ruins their dinner, or Kenan and Vanessa show up and actually seem happy to see them while Jemma and her boyfriend try to get them to go away so they can be alone.

I wasn't sure which of the cast you were talking about (as much as I like them, I haven't really gotten their names down) so I Googled "Kieth Allen" and got a picture of him and small bio, and I was like "holy crap, the guy who plays Murphy is Theon Greyjoy's dad?" But the picture didn't look quite right (too old for…

I originally wrote is as "it would be nice if Magneto wasn't the villain in every movie" but then I remembered that he's really only "the villain" in the first and third movies and the villain's lieutenant in Apocalypse. But they do fight him in First Class and Days of Future Past - only briefly, but it does end with…

While I agree that it would be nice if the MCU villains were a bit more impressive, I've always liked that Marvel managed to make superhero movies in which the superheroes were actually the most interesting characters. In general, I'd rather come out of a Captain America movie looking forward to seeing more of Cap in…

There was once a made for TV movie in which Vanna White played the Greek goddess Aphrodite who came to Earth in modern times that was so hilariously bad that the network commercials actually played up the "so bad it's good" angle. They did a great commercial for it where they put actual negative reviews on the screen…

What does Dormammu … need … with a starship?

That's one of those words that you see all the time from a young age if you're just the right kind of geek, to the extent that you forget that it's a word the average non-geek has never encountered. Reminds me of the time I listened to a podcast where two people had a debate on how to pronounce "ethereal" in which…

There used to be a cool Star Trek museum in Las Vegas that, among other attractions, added a 4-D show in its later years. You went in groups into an area that looked like a TNG-era set, actors in Starfleet uniforms pretended you were visiting dignitaries on a space station, a (pre-recorded, obviously) Captain Janeway…

So my question is: what the heck is going on in space that so many aliens are willing to relocate to a primitive backwater planet where they're treated like crap? That seems like something Superman should be looking into.

And an amnesia episode, and an episode where the main character is blinded.

Weirdly, I thought she's never looked better than she did in this episode, even though I'm usually not a fan of tattoos at all. Not that my opinion's any more valid than yours or anything, I just thought that she and the makeup people made it work.

It would be an amazingly subtle use of Flashpoint start inserting things that never actually happened on the show into the previouslies. I'd almost like it if they did that, except - as the case of Joe's mystery girlfriend demonstrates - I'm not sure I could always tell the old history from the new stuff.

"Spiritual successor" is somewhat of a misnomer, in that it doesn't mean "ideological successor," it just means "thing that isn't a literal successor but in effect serves as one." In other words, the Empire is the literal successor of the Republic - it is what the Republic turned into - making the people who want to…

I try not to criticize a show for not doing what I would have done were I in the place of the main characters (or the writers) but two things bugged me about this episode:

To be fair, he doesn't have tens of thousand of notches on his helmet, so even if each notch was for a destroyed droid (as opposed to a successful mission or fallen comrade or new planet visited or something) that would make saying he "never" kept track an exaggeration, but could be consistent with him not knowing his…

If someone told me when this show started that the aging hippie stoner comic relief would end up being my favorite character (not to mention plausibly badass when necessary), I'd never have believed it, but here we are.

Also to Winona Ryder in real life, in that she was a kleptomaniac and the real Winona Ryder had that whole shoplifting flap.
