We need some volleyball hotties in here; gotta look for their schedule... (Sorry, I'm not good at finding pics!)

Was watching some of the men's gymnastics; some of these guys are CUTE!

I feel like we might be getting too many Kryptonians? But about this specifically:

😬 Eh, they still have time to change the title back to something less awkward.

Screenrant suuuccckss, but there's a quote from a producer of Crisis On Infinite Earths that says the Barry/Iris relationship was influenced by the TV show: 'How The Arrowverse's Best Show Influenced DC's New Crisis On Infinite Earths Movie'

Aiming for the TikTok crowd, I'm guessing.

[Could have sworn there was already a news / general discussion topic?? Did it get deleted or something??] Season 2 premiere is October 1st, at 10pm. NBC Fall schedule press release. ---- Possible upcoming plot/scene, from Inside Line at TVLine:

Aw, I like Tide's Olympic commercial; it manages to use the sports stars (who aren't actors) without being cringey:

I really hope Jimmy didn't actually give the rest of his fortune to Livewire -- please tell me he has something in a savings account somewhere! Livewire and Heatwave... kinda random? I assume we won't being seeing them again soon, since they have all of Jimmy's money now. Nice to see Mallah and the Brain again! Ugh - Waller continues to be terrible! Martial law AND (I assume) metallos!? Obviously this episode was a contrast/complement to the previous one, but I hope that there won't be much more Superman-less episodes in the future. However, I did really like that it was a Lois/Jimmy team-up A-plot; and that it was a heist episode. Aw, I'm glad Kara has an advocate in Jimmy! I'm a sucker for the 'power of love' trope, so here's hoping they use some of that to help out Clark and Kara in the coming episodes. I'm guessing this will never come up again, BUT -- so, STAR Labs, or at least Waller and Deathstroke, know that Jimmy and Lois stole the spaceship; there's no way they should be able to get away with that once they get back to Earth. (But assume they will, somehow; if they address it at all.) Speaking of open secrets: so far, there's been at least two indirect references from two separate people about Lois being Superman's girlfriend. So 1.) Lois & Superman(/Clark) should start being more careful about making out in public; and 2.) it's just amusing to me that at the same time, Cat Grant couldn't figure this out a few episodes ago!

I admit I have not really paid attention to the KCH; but I'm surprised that the Apollo is an honoree. Have they honored an instituition/venue before?

Even before you mentioned Cosby, I was going to guess that it's most likely a music rights issue.

I support Milli Vanilli getting a biopic; but I'm already deducting points because they didn't get the hair quite right. (Like, there's only two major things they're famous for; c'mon.) According to People, the surving member of the duo is a producer and consultant. Girl You Know it's True | Official U.S. Trailer

Season is 10 episodes. Yeah, the season 2 finale is this weekend. This show is delightful; I'm going to be sad that it'll probably be a year or more until the next season. 😢

Guess it's a good thing I've never heard of this person before?

BTW, Supergirl (well, Kara Zor-El) is part of Season 2 of My Adventures with Superman, and similar to the Supergirl show, she also has a crush on a race-bent Jimmy Olsen. If you're unfamiliar, the show has its own new takes on Superman/Kryptonian lore, and is influenced by anime (among other things). Clip of her intro:
