Lantern7

Acording to Wikipedia, this is set in 2001. And yeah, Giorno's conception sounds like something a fanfic writer would have come up with. "Okay, so Jotaro is the eldest active Jojo, but Josuke is his uncle because Joseph had an affair. What if DIO conceived while he possessed Jonathan's body? Would that make the kid a Jojo as well?!?" Cut to folks building a Joestar family tree ripping the paper into shreds. Seriously, poor Koichi. He's eighteen, but he probably needs binoculars to look other males in the eye. And I don't know if Echoes would always support him. "Master, the blond guy hosed you. You are in S-H-I-T."

How about a guy who homers with a 10-0 lead, and somehow turns his bat into a crude pogo stick while rounding the bases? Deadspin essay going into Game 3.

John Witherspoon has passed away.

If a Game 7 happens and barely anyone watches, does it actually happen? I’m thinking the game will end around 12:30 a.m, Eastern time.

I read the manga covered here a while back. While I can understand the frustration over the downgraded animation, I can say that I like the idea of Garou. What would be more insane in that world than a hero that aspires to be a monster? And now that Saitama has one-shotted him (without knowing who he was), it's safe to say Garou is officially a cast member. Also, Saitama goes wig-shopping. I hope the tournament arc looks good. ETA: Tatsumaki is going to be in a Death Battle next week. Her opponent? Mob. Should be fun!

Thanks for the GIFs, @Soulfire! Damn, the open mouth on William. His gast has totally been flabbered. More of Oliver on his Farewell Tour. Thankfully, the League Of Whatever had a few pages written about the Monitor . . . and the sketch proves it's about him. Okay, then. And Thea now has a league of her own (couldn't resist), with Talia as her new bestie. With Arrow ending, maybe they could invade Batwoman next year. "What do you mean 'he's gone'?!?" "He just is. For about three years. You can fight me if you want." "You're okay with being the second choice?" "Well, this is about paying dues. I'll know that I paid in full once I have a backdoor pilot episode." I knew that the Future Arrow stuff was an excuse to eventually unite both teams . . . but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. Given the shortened season, I shouldn't have been shocked.

So . . . much . . . manpain. Yeah, I know, both genders are feeling the pain, but Barry seems more broken up than usual. And his effort to save one yutz with terminal illness leads to a lot of dead people and a new villain. Hell, the last forty days (episode supposed to take place on Halloween, so 30 days of November + 10 days in December = 40) could have our heroes either not getting out of bed, or engaging in advanced hedonism. I mean, I don't think "Frost" (or at least the persona) has ever had physical relationships, and Ralph has probably been wanted to see how enlongated he could get. Also, wall-banging Olicity-level sex between Barry and Iris. Hey, once Arrow is gone, The Flash would be the senior series, and then we'd have some wild stuff. Yeah, probably not. And there's probably problems with those running the show. Shit, Barry could have told Ramsey that there might not be a future, and he might blink out of existence before his disease takes him out. Ramsey's abilities seem inspired by Morbius over at Marvel, though the temporary puppet zombies are a nice twist. Joe/Barry scene . . . damn. Nash Wells continues to do Wells stuff while being a pain in the ass. That sounds about right. Maybe they could call Alex Luthor from Earth-3. #CrisisReference #NerdShitStuckInMyHead

Oh, shit! Sooner than I would’ve thought!

Shit. Canary down.

“Let’s form the League of Heroes!” “Wait, isn’t this series ending?” “Fuck it, we can invade Batwoman next year.” “Since when is there a Gotham City?” “I know, right?”

It’s a good likeness.

“Great. The one time I need Barry!”

Anyone else getting old-school Legend of Zelda vibes?

Anyone else thinking of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? “Ollie! They didn’t spell ‘Jehovah’ with a ‘J’!”

Oddly enough, Arrow is getting out-manpainned by The Flash.

Mia: “We have to take out the Deathstrokes!” Me: (mentally humming “Last Night”)

“I love you, Johnny. Also, I’ve been hanging with the omniscient being spearheading the big crisis event.”

Getting tired of the same Riverdale promo. 🙄

“FUCK ‘EM UP!!!”

Athena isn’t new, is she?

Or a mask. I wear those at work when retrieving old files. I wish that I watched these shows more intently. I never notice the reusing of sets. I need more ways to snark along with you guys.

Not the exact quote . . . Thea: “No one has cheated death as much as you.” Sara: (on the Waverider, biting her first really hard)

Continuing to DVR this while I watch Supergirl. It's probably for the best, because I don't want to drown in a hailstorm of Easter Eggs the night before I have to get back to work. Damn, The Watchmaker's Son looks like something that could've been written and performed long ago. Without the one guy getting flame-broiled to death, of course. German brass wrote letters in English trying to get black U.S. soldiers on their side during World War I. Wow. The sheer balls of such an idea. More intense shit. I should probably rewatch. And maybe go online for the background stuff. Like the last six (four?) pages of most issues of the original miniseries.

Well, this was an absolute bleach-chugger of an episode. I mean, it wasn't bad, but it's depressing as fuck. When Principal Lowry gets busted in the face twice and I don't get a thrill, I know it's a bad time. Did the Head Bitch In Charge actually say "rebel scum"? Please tell me I imagined that. Okay, Jefferson and Nissa got to bust heads and free some innocents, and Nissa and Grace got a few moments of comfort . . . but it's getting to point when disbelief needs to be expelled, and not just suspended. Once again . . . Principal Lowry got nailed . . . twice! And in front of a class! But he was trying to defend one of his students, so I didn't get the cheap chuckle I wanted. And Khalil is still killing guys. Great. You know Jennifer is going to snap him out of it, and you know it's going to be painful. Honestly, Khalil could sacrifice his life this season, and I wouldn't be shocked. His codename is "Painkiller," yet he gets pain inflicted on him all the damn time. If it's not Tobias, it's Odell. Speaking of Odell . . . shit, he's got Jennifer under his thumb. And he actually convinced Lynn to take Greenlight to treat her patients . . . AND she thought it was her idea. Honestly, if Crisis were to at least halve the depressing shit that happens in Freeland, I wouldn't disapprove too much about the writers copping out. New kid is Troy Polamanu's son. That hair . . . that hair.

In the future (should we have one), we might want to limit a president’s ability to make unilateral decisions. It’s like the current guy cuts a simple rope, and Gordian’s Knot forms on it. He was too busy working on his Lindsey Graham impression . . . which was most everything. ISIS prisoners gag? I can see how some wouldn’t go for it, but since John didn’t have a big production bit at the end, it’s understandable.
