The entire premise of the show is that each of these individual timelines IS the "real life" that developed as a result of each specific choice that Joe made the day he graduated from college. We're basically simultaneously watching the action in three different parallel universes unfold in real time. The timelines CAN'T merge because each individual timeline is predicated on the initial choice of Joe's that created it. As the showrunners have said, the entire point is that there IS no one "right choice." ALL of Joe's choices of the three that presented themselves at his college graduation are the "right" ones. It's just that each choice carried with it its own particular chain of consequences leading to Nurse Joe in one timeline, Rocker Joe in another, and Cop Joe in another. One life timeline isn't necessarily better than the other two, nor is it necessarily the "correct" one, because as we've already seen, each one has its tragedies as well as its triumphs. In other words, the answer isn't "A," "B," or "C." The answer is "D -- all of the above."

And the looks they were giving each other while waiting for the van to take the little girl back to the group home spoke volumes. They WERE clearly having "that talk" without saying a word, and by the end of the scene, it was obvious that they were on the same page. I half-expected one of them to tell the driver to take that little girl to their home address, where they'd be waiting for her.

I see what you did there. It's subtle, but effective!

So did I. That was some really solid acting.

One of the things that I find fascinating is that because of their experiences with the Totem of Courage, Kara and Nyxly are now both psychically linked on a level that enables them to sense each other's emotional states. That could be a very useful ability for Kara in order to predict Nyxly's next move (along with Dreamer's abilities, which she is finally starting to master). I'm curious about what she saw while she was in her enhanced dream state (since she had deliberately tapped into her powers on a level that she had been previously afraid to try).

I respectfully disagree. Not everyone has to be linked up romantically just because they have "chemistry." Hasn't it been argued repeatedly regarding straight men and women that they CAN just be platonic friends (and I don't mean "friends with benefits") despite having "chemistry"? Why wouldn't that argument apply to Kara and Lena, too?

And Kelly is watching the massacre of innocent people without hope because the system that is supposed to have their backs doesn't give too hoots about them, and they know it. The only difference is that these people are being massacred in a slow, drawn-out process that is akin to death by a thousand paper cuts. Kelly was right to scold Kara and the rest of the Superfriends for ignoring problems that they can fix now instead of focusing on one that for now simply isn't fixable.

Isn't it enough that we already have Alex and Kelly as a lesbian couple, along with Sarah and Ava as a newly married lesbian couple on Legends of Tomorrow and Ryan Wilder and the Lesbian of the Week over on Batwoman? What is this continuing obsession with turning Kara and Lena into a lesbian couple, too? (NOTE: As a gay man myself, I am NOT against showing same-sex couples. I just don't care for the idea of forcing them into existence, particularly with characters who have heretofore never shown even one bit of evidence of being oriented that way just to tick a particular box or to appease a very small --albeit VOCAL-- minority of shippers. It would be like having Superman dump Lois for William!)

I was just coming in here to say this. I like this show. One of the major themes, I think, is to show that there's really no such thing as a "perfect" life. Even living out one's dream (rock star) has its tragedies and its challenges. And I am really impressed with the way each timeline still has some common and constant elements in it. I'm in!

Why do I have the feeling that William is about to have a VERY bad day?

The first thing I thought of when I saw that new upgraded outfit was the redesigned Batwoman outfit. And if anyone can understand exactly what Kelly feels and experiences, it's Ryan (Batwoman 2.0). Batwoman and Guardian is the team-up that would be the perfect way for these two women to meet.

I just started bingewatching this on Peacock Prime (I completely missed it during its original run), and I'd rate it as below 30 Rock and above Superstore in terms of how entertaining I find it. Michael comes across as a poor man's Willy Loman in that like Willy, Michael's idea of being "successful" is being "well-liked," which is why he tries so hard to cultivate close friendships in the office in ways that aren't even remotely appropriate, much less based in reality. He also is so lacking in any ability to pick up on social cues that I'm wondering if perhaps he isn't somewhere on the autism/Asperger's spectrum. Right now, I'm in early Season 3, just at the point where the Stamford branch merges with the Scranton branch. Already, I can see some interesting conflicts brewing (Dwight hates Andy, for example), so I'm looking forward to seeing how well the merger plays out. And yeah, like everyone else, I'm growing impatient with Jim/Pamela. Tell me, how much longer do they continue fighting the inevitable?

Close. Week 1 was Cha-Cha (men) and Waltz (women); Week 2 was Quickstep (men) and Rumba (women); Week 3 was Tango (Men) and Jive (women); Week 4 was Foxtrot (women) and Paso Doble (men); and Week 5 was Samba (everyone) and Viennese Waltz (group competition only). Starting with Week 6, everyone reversed, doing the dances during the remaining weeks that they didn't do during the first four weeks.

She wasn't entirely wrong about that, either. "Stone Pillow" was very well received, from what I remember, but fans told Lucille personally that while they enjoyed her dramatic performance in that movie, they wanted her to stick to screwball physical comedy because that was what they had grown up with, so that was how they wanted to remember her -- as "Lucy."

I need to watch this, if only because Grant Denyer is one of the celebrities competing this series. He's the ringeriest ringer who ever rang, since he won the 2006 series, and he presented the show itself from 2019-2020!

That's not too far off the mark from the Silver Age Lena of the comics, though. THAT Lena was a full-blown telepath!

Leave it to John to pull off an outfit like that! LOL But has he gone back to dyeing his hair dark? I was just getting used to his being a young silver fox!

No more than if she were a male celebrity, since they are ALWAYS tasked with leading. And that's all I care to say on the matter. The bottom line is that I do not see gender when it comes to DanceSport, and neither do many other people.

National City isn't necessarily going to care who or what runs the Daily Planet, since they were never affected by Morgan Edge's attempt to destroy humanity in order to resurrect Krypton. After all, they're used to living with aliens now, whereas Metropolis wasn't.

That is NOT what I said. When she does the lead role, she will be judged on execution the same as any male celebrity would. When she does the follow role, she will be judged the same as any other female celebrity would. There are no "special rules" just for JoJo. Equal treatment does not equal "special treatment."

I respectfully disagree. The Austrian, Israeli, Ukrainian, and Italian versions of the show, as well as to the British original, have all had same-sex pairings -- some of them even male -- and for the most part, these pairings proved extremely popular with viewers, especially the two male couples who were on the Austrian and Italian versions, respectively. The Italian couple even made history as the first same-sex couple to ever make the finals on ANY version of DWTS, in fact! And yes, JoJo will be judged the same as any other dancer whether she does the traditional lead or follow role (typically, same-sex couples tend to switch throughout the dance). As you said, dancing is dancing. It's just time that those of us who are naturally more comfortable dancing with a member of our own gender were recognized as equals and not forced to appear to be something we're not just because a few viewers' heads might explode over it. That's their problem, not ours!

Nia's lack of confidence comes from the fact that she's now the only one in her family who has her powers and her mother died before she had a chance to teach Nia how to use them. Nia's ability to see the future in her dreams is useless (and potentially dangerous) if she doesn't know how to interpret what she sees correctly. The only other experienced family member who could train her is her 31st Century descendant Dream Girl, whom she's never even met for obvious reasons.

I'm just shocked at already seeing salt and pepper in his beard stubble. He's only what, 34?

Just the NBC series. I haven't watched the cartoon version (yet). And she broke time as a result, which is how she ended up meeting Ava in the first place. Ava was the Time Bureau bureaucrat who was tasked with keeping the Legends in line as they both went around restoring order in the timeline after the Legends created all those time-displaced anomalies that they had to round up and restore to their proper places in history after time got broken. Speaking of which, I thought it fascinating that it was the Waverider itself that destroyed their ship, after decloaking just long enough to blast it before re-cloaking and leaving. Given what we were just reminded about the importance of keeping the timeline intact by allowing even bad events to run their course (child Spooner getting whisked off to the future by the Fountain and younger Bishop being mindwiped and booted back to his own time in order to close THAT destiny loop), it's obvious that the other Waverider destroyed the one in 1925 because the Legends have things that they're supposed to accomplish in this era that require them to stay put in it for an indefinite period of time. Oh, and one more thing: a same-sex wedding in 1925 Texas, and Spooner's mother doesn't even bat an eyelash at the concept and is totally down with hosting it? Mind. Blown!

And as I said, Matt himself felt and said that it was time for him to let the character go after playing him for seven years and taking him as far as he could without fundamentally altering who he is and what he's always been about. Frankly, I agree with Matt. I watched both seasons of Constantine on CW Seed after he started appearing on Legends, and he'd already come full circle by the time last week's episode had aired: He'd atoned for and undone the one thing he felt had been his greatest failure in life (as he put it) -- failing to keep Astra from being sent to Hell as a little girl -- and they'd both buried the hatchet once she'd finally been freed. There simply wasn't anywhere else for the character to go as one of the Legends, and Matt felt that giving him the traditional "happily ever after" with Zari 2.0 would be ridiculous given everything that John Constantine has ever been or been about. So yeah, Matt and Constantine are done. I'm really looking forward to seeing Matt's new character next season and seeing how Matt does at creating a new character out of nothing.
