Didn’t bring back the “Multiple Epic Voice Guys” gimmick. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Ballmasterz: 9009 wrapped up. Looks like Adult Swim will be going live-action on Sunday nights. Yeah, I might hate myself and I'm slowly going mental over a virus that shuts everything down . . . but I ain't watching this shit. I realize that "throwing shit onto a wall and seeing if it looks good" is a viable plan at [AS] . . . not when those two chimps are involved. I will watch this, though.

Kane Sisters Arkham Break-In FTW! And then Kate locked Beth/Alice up with Mouse, which . . . probably for the best. Kate really needed a win, especially when she has the specter of Old Man Bruce haunting her after the murder she comitted. Well, we don't have flashbacks, but that can be filed as "fanon," right? In other news, Luke gets a subplot of his own. Mary continues to be awesome. We get to hear an old white lady tell the twins that she called "the po." Not "police," not "po-po" . . . "the po." Okay, then. Had to rewind to make sure I heard it correctly. Has there been ANY incarnation of Arkham Asylum where the doctors aren't gleeful sadists unaware of the concept of comeuppance?

Alex: Okay, so my father died a very anticlimactic death. Now . . . what is the absolute worst way I can handle this? Brainy: (looking at keyboard) According to my calculations, the least advisable course of action for you to take would be to lash out at your friends and family, then retreat into a dubious virtual reality where you take your sister's superhero identity for yourself. Alex: Would it make for a good episode? Brainy: Given current events . . . yes. Alex: And would I look badass as a Supergirl? Brainy: Yes. Alex: It's settled. Later, bitches! (slips on Obsidian lenses, falls onto floor) . . . and that was my main takeaway. I'd probably feel more invested in the various plots, but we might not get a traditional season finale, so I'm a bit numb overall.

Crap. When does it reair?

I got my copy of the Baseball Preview issue of Sports Illustrated. I don't know what's sadder: their reduced number of issues per year, or that they put out the issue after COVID-19 suspended the season indefinitely. Oh, and my copy had the New York cover (one of three versions!), with Pete Alonso and Gleyber Torres.

Anyone else keeping up? I think "Diamond is Unbreakable" is On Demand on Spectrum, if you want to soothe yourself in the fucked-up world of Jojo. I'll have to rewatch the last episode. Here's a line from the Crowning Moment of Funny page on TVTropes.com: "Mista and Giorno driving away at full speed down the highway, desperately fleeing from the world's angriest ice skater. That is all." Yeah, that sums up Ghiaccio and White Album nicely. Thank goodness for Facebook groups. Nothing makes you smile like someone posting a weird link or picture. In this case, it's an artist drawing the heroes of "Golden Wind" and Squadra Esecuzioni (the team of assassins from the past several episodes) as dogs: ETA: . . . .and the pictures aren't embedded. Of course not. The link should still work. ETA2: . . . and I just found this:

Right now: French Bulldog, German Shepherd, Cotons de Tulear. Also: Pipsqueak the goat kid!

Looks like I was wrong about Erik drawing Spy Shack v3.

Nia isn't Kryptonian. On a funnier note . . . if you're into Legends of Tomorrow, you got to see that Upswipez (or however it's spelled) is a thing on Earth-Prime. Looks like swiping up IS more intuitive for users. Pity Damien Darhk killed the app's creator.

Anyone else keeping up? Apparently, Tanjiro can swap out water techniques for fire. The two older Slayers looked badass . . . nice contrast from putzes Zenitsu and Inosuke.

This week: Tyson sells a nullifier for a Fire Token, and he immediately buys peanut butter with that Token. And then Sandra gets herself booted on a play similiar to what Tyson did ten years ago. I know Sandra's seasons have been spread out over seventeen years (if my mental math is correct), but I would've thought she'd be savvier. At the very least, she should have felt that her throwaway vote for Denise would bite her in the butt, and then opt for another target. Nope . . . she's off to Edge of Extinction. I'd say that the revelation would be "lit," but we didn't see Amber reacting to Rob's arrival. The editing is confusing me. Yara winning meant Ben and Adam were safe. I reckon they're being edited to look like this season's dummies, but I can't see anything totally false about that direction. Each week, I like seeing what cartoon Survivor alumnus (and frequent target of flashback abuse) Erik Reichenbach draws for a reality-based website. I'd bet money that Tony's brand new Spy Shack will be front and center. Honestly, if you're on a tribe with him, wouldn't you have conversations on the beach? Every rustle of leaves would stop people from talking, for a bald head might be hidden beneath the pile of branches. Tyson getting the peanut butter reminds me there are a few more drawbacks I'd have to face if I ever played the game . . food allergies, for instance. I'm also thinking that the editing shift means Natalie isn't going to back a triumphant comeback, even with the Fire Tokens she's earned so far. Tyson returning would irk me. Doesn't he fathom that amassing currency outweighs short-term advantages? Or maybe he wants to eat a little and do something nasty with the rest. And with his luck, some sort of game changer would be buried in there. I did like Tyson's attempts to fool Rob, because you just know the producers had "heart-to-hearts" with the players that ended with "Let the Masshole win."

No EoE reaction to Rob from Amber this week probably means we won’t be getting a reaction to the latest “victims.” You think EoE would be opened twice? Or maybe just the once?

That’s on now! Henry breaking being neutral was funny.

No merge next week? Man, EoE is gonna be lit.

“This vote for Denise is just for- . . . shit, man, I got a bad feeling that the tape would be used against me. Better pick someone else!”

Probst is looking for new players? I hear the next two seasons have already been cast. Homeboy is secure about his future.

Dammit, Sandra. You could’ve forced a revote! You’re the new Tyson!! Denise wants to throw up. She ain’t alone.

“Jeff?” “Stop interrupting my game, woman!”

I think Jeremy would’ve had the title quote if hand gestures were allowed.

OMG! Phil Keoghan in a PSA! I didn’t think the network knew he still existed! OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!! ANOTHER BIG NAME BITES THE DUST!

“Don’t leave me in poverty, Parvati!”

Nick, trying to elevate above Adam and Ben. Too Cute marathon on Animal Planet. Rottweiler puppies!

Yul smiling like a guy who knows damn well he ain’t a target. 😜

Tony should stay so he can up his paranoia game. Like maybe he forgoes another Spy Shack and makes a passable Jeremy disguise.
