  1. Steve and Janet are so far away in Dplotsville our hosts couldn't even recall them for episode MVP (Steve opening space for the survivors group--growth!)

    I had really hoped the season long LVP intro would be Donna's fire alarm "ooh noo!"

    I'm sorry, are we just going to give a pass to someone portraying Woody Allen as a creep on Just Shoot Me in 1997? That is some "Simpson's Did It" level of precog on the part of the JSM writing staff. What did they already know?

    I think we've known Woody Allen is gross for a long time. The Soon Yi stuff happened in 1992.

    Sure, but it's still pretty remarkable in 1997 for a network show to come out and state it so boldly. I mean, there are still big names today who are actively supporting/protecting him.

  4. I am being completely unfair here but I can't help notice how Garth's expressions look so different in these visual aids and I am chalking it up to her not trying to disturb the lip cut makeup.

     

    Holy shit--I legit forgot that the season started with the wedding aftermath. I actually thought it was already a season+.

  5. OK, mid-story episode. My strongest reaction, with 5 mins. left, was "F*king Diaz?!? Even in the Elseworlds?" 

    As I've said, I've liked Acevedo  in other things (Band of Brothers, Fringe), but he's not great in this role. He must be the world's nicest guy or cheapest actor because I am just at a loss to understand why he is still around.

  6. One thing that this crossover has made apparent is  how long Grant Gustin's face is, and how round Stephen Amell's head is, because SA looked hilariously ridiculous in the Flash suit/cowl. He was like a lollipop. My wife was like, "Is that Simon Pegg dressed as the Flash?"

  7. This was top to bottom one the more entertaining and hilarious hours of television I've seen in a long, long, time. And props to the writers and actors that they could produce something so funny w/out having to go over the top ridiculous with something like giant Beebo (which I loved, don't get me wrong.)

  8. Gina is finally the villain this show has lacked, and I am here for it. Vanessa Marcil is such a good actress that she makes her character actually interesting, rather than just dull and one note.

    Looking at IMDB, I see that teen Marianne's last name was Plague, like, settle down, TryHard.

    T-Bone's exhausted "man" at the end of the Luke Perry, Teen Heartthrob selection made me guffaw outloud.

  9. A good Ray episode. I love how we learn the title, Dancing Queen, is not about QEII, but rather more a call back to disco and ABBA. I have to say, I am impressed with the show's writers for their deft use of continuity.  Given how much goes on, and how much changes, they are still able to track it all and use it when needed, and not trip themselves up.

    Tala Ashe is the mistress of deadpan and reactions. I like watching her, even when she is not the focus of the scene, as she is always doing something interesting in the background. Nick Zano does this as well.

  10. I'm sorry, but last season Dinah quit one vigilante team and started another because the first was not on-board with her plan to commit extra-judicial murder against her boyfriend's killer, but now she is all law-and-order and unable AND unwilling to see the benefit of New Green Arrow? Mmm-hmm.

    Question: When was Rene tortured by Tobias Whale and was it the same Tobias Whale from Black Lightning? Because that I don't remember at all.

    Can you give more detail on the circumstances under which you listened? I just played it in my headphones from the player on the episode page on the site and the clips sound normal to me.

    Downloaded from iTunes on Monday morning, listened to it on my iPhone with the same headphones I've always used.

  12. Great start to the season, but I am dreading a season of Constantine. I cannot stand his constant "I'm a tough scary man, wooo--watch out for me" schtick. If you have to run around and tell everyone that, you are not that much of a badass. And his "costume" is ridiculous. I know that it is based on his look from the comics, but this is one instance where what works as a static image does not work live action. (This could be true about the whole character.) I mean, does he just keep the tie at half undone ALL the time and put it on and take it off like a necklace? Why even bother??  I will forgive them if at some point they reveal the stupid tie is actually some kind of disguised amulet or charm.

  13. I don't understand Kelly's frustration with Matt at the start of the Dylan storyline this episode. She is mad at him because ?? I mean, the charges against him are public, B&E and possession of heroin. Are we to believe, that only Matt and Gina knew Dylan was using? Is that why she is mad?

    Re: the cold open slam into the inappropriate theme. LA Law solved this problem years ago. They had two openings to their theme: If the cold open was "wacky" then the theme started with the trunk slam scored to the saxophone toodleing intro, if the cold open was dramatic, the trunk slam was accompanied by a menacing low bass note.

  14. How is it possible that SA has gotten even bigger? There were some prisons scenes where he seemed to be looming over some of the other inmates, none of whom were small. Good on him for his off-season training.

  15. The bear's name is Honeytongue? I have to assume that Donna's concern is that the bear will be jealous, as with that name, he was the thing that pleasured her throughout her perpetual virginity.

    "We can't do it in front of Honeytongue, that was his job. He'll be mad!"
