ACW

Wow, it's been a while since I was here. But I want to to ask: Am I the only one who's really annoyed that Michael and Sari are unreservedly vouching for the nobility and trustworthiness of an organization whose current incarnation they barely know? Especially since they knew about Section 31 even back in their own time? For all they know, Section 31 caused the Burn, and is all that survived. At minimum, we've at least got Evil Admiral Syndrome to worry about. And I'm *more* annoyed at the Vulcromulans for not really calling them on it.

Most Batman origin flashbacks have the same issue. Unless maybe they really were cheap or fake pearls all along, making Martha's death even more tragic.

We saw Batman in the pilot, didn't we? Briefly, but more than we saw Superman in Season 1 of Supergirl. Of course, you can show Batman (though not Bruce Wayne, or Superman) in reasonably-close shots without having to commit to a particular actor...

My guess is uranium. U-238 is the most common isotope. You can’t make a bomb directly from it, but you can turn it into plutonium. And it's very heavy. Maybe Kate's mom's car had a bunch in the trunk for some odd reason?

I don't think that Sarge has ever claimed to care about rescuing any one planet. He wants to stop the Shrike permanently. My assumption has been that he intends (and has attempted) to do so by incinerating them all (and/or their creator) once they've all arrived. The fact that this will also incinerate the planet is regrettable, but necessary.

Beebo says "Bring it."

Of all people, surely Genghis Khan *did* get a pony for his birthday.

Thank you! I am just now starting to catch up on the FTWD backlog in my DVR, and having just watched this episode, I twigged to it being an Oz pastiche as soon as we met beer-guy in the field (with a burlap sack over his head, and his arms restrained). Which I guess makes wheelchair-guy the Tin Man, and Morgan himself both Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion? With the grey-greenish Wicked Witch showing up at the end. I am *shocked* that you're the first other person I've found online who made the connection. I was *positive* that it was all a dream Morgan was having in the truck, so I didn't mind as things got steadily sillier. I thought that he would work out his issues, realize "there's no place like home," and go back to (one set or another of) his friends. Which he sort of did... except that he wasn't dreaming?!? But you know what? I kind of admire this sort of unabashed weirdness in a major franchise, so I'm going to give the rest of the season a shot.

Since 1986, when Frank Miller let Superman do it in "The Dark Knight Returns". It was silly then, too, but at least he had to drain an entire jungle to make it work. For a long time, J'onn used the identity of DEO Director Hank Henshaw after the latter's (presumed) death, and still uses Hank;s appearance. Maybe that's what you're thinking of?

I'm assuming that he just comes from an extremely polluted alternate "earth", where people had evolved to need (or just prefer) to breath air laced with oil smoke.

And now we know why. 😉

The fact that he didn't, makes me think that he left them for the serving girl. Not just as payment, but also so she can still use the poison within to kill Dany later.

Also: WTF weren't there some scorpions mounted on the Red Keep?

After the bells, I would have had Dany fly straight to the Red Keep and burn it to get to Cersei. Which still would have killed lots of innocent civilians inside, and still would get the Starks and Tyrion mad at her, but would at least have made sense.
