Lantern7

Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere . . . does "4587" come from anywhere? Like, somebody on the show has a birthdate of April 5, 1987?

This week: Red Hot Chili Pepper makes its move, threatening Josuke in his own house to start. The Big Four (Josuke, Koichi, Okuyashu, Jotaro) meet in the middle of nowhere to talk tactics without Chili Pepper finding them, but it stows away in Okuyashu's motorcycle battery. The big dummy has a figurative diarrhea attack, losing his shit in trying to avenge his brother's murder. Bottom line: The Hand gets in some nice hits, but Okuyashu inadvertently cuts an underground power line, giving Chili Pepper the means to escape and intercept Oldjo at the port . . . but not before maiming Okuyashu (via disarming The Hand) and dragging him through the power line. But since this is a shonen anime that gives less of a fuck than most of its peers, Josuke drags Okuyashu back by using Shining Diamond to reattach the arm. Seriously . . . he had the arm, Crazy Diamond did its "rewind" thing, and Okuyasu was brought back to physical form. Major butt-pull, but I think it's allowable for this anime Also, Jotaro tells us about how feeble Oldjo is. Not much reaction from Josuke in the prospect of meeting his father. The sad thing? As old and doddering as Oldjo is, I bet Tamako would still want to "tap that."

Wait, so who's the new Green Arrow? Is it William? Yes, I know the Legends could get involved to make that happen, but having Oliver Queen's son from the future come to the present is a little much. I mean, even if he winds up piercing Diaz's stupid, stupid neck several times to prevent his (hot) stepmother from killing, it's just . . . huh??? Of course Zoe is a vigilante/freedom fighter in the future. Maybe her power is shooting guns without needing a hockey mask. Yeah, Rene's gotten more tolerable, but he's still a butthead. And I'm thinking that when Oliver has the inevitable reunion with the team, Rene will let out a very prolonged "HOSS!!!!" It's building up within him, I know it. Curtis: "I know I'm in the top three of characters that viewers want dead,so I'm going to be scarce. But hey, I brought Zoe a Beebo! And doesn't Beebo make everything better?" Intense stuff with Ollie. Anybody else think the doctor is on Diaz's payroll? Slabside is a big den of corruption anyway, so why not? Hey, at least the guy didn't break out Rorscach tests. "What do you see?" "Dead dog, head split in two." " . . . really?" "Wow, you suck. Maybe I'd be more compliant with more of the mystery serum."

How does Legends of Tomorrow not give a fuck this week? Well, bring in a shape-shifter, have her rotate between the Legends, get to Amaya in her disco outfit from the mission that's probably way better in out minds than the writers could have delivered (hey, they did a good Groundhog Day riff with Zari), have the team spare her, and then Constantine basically violates her by taking her ability away. Now Maisie is back as Notmaya. Easy-peasy! I hope she gets some sort of weapon or skill. I reckon she's more or less a "normal" now. Maybe limited shapeshifting down the road? Like Frobisher in the Doctor Who comics, only her default look is an African woman instead of a penguin? I don't think Gary works as a recurring character. Too "comic relief"-y for me. I mean, great job neuralizing the taco girl, but he has zero business "in the field." And, of course, he'd bring Audrey II back to 2018. I don't think any of the Legends would've done that, not even in the fir- . . . wait, Nate left a book on Roman history for Caesar to find. Never mind. Still, Nate can do better with a "time bro." Was there anything establishing that one cannot prevent one's birth? I mean, great to see Constatine thwarted since he's a pillock, but the cuts were a little jarring. Well, once Baby John is conceived, I'm sure Constantine can stomp his dad's nuts to his heart's content. Fuck it, he's in a damn time machine! Rage . . . just Rage. Even when getting into rebelling, he's still a goofy Eagle Scout. And he stole a Corgi! Yeah, Queen's Corgis got treated better than most people . . . but it's a Corgi. Why would anyone mess with a Corgi? Mohawk was a nice touch, as was Ray's tattoo of said Corgi with the Mohawk and paper clip.

Is Tegridy Farms weed an actual thing? It seems like it could be. I wouldn't put it past Matt & Trey.

I actually understood him most of the time. I don't know if Matt & Trey decided to make it easier, or if I've finally unconsciously learned to listen to him.

Seems much. I mean, I saw the movie a few times, I shoudln't feel like hawking double digits for a new cut.

Another depressing episode elevated by gags. In this case, jackass news people dressed for Halloween and the NBC peacock thanking John for being against blackface, then trying to blow him. My fear is that John is mostly preaching to his choir, that little to no undecided voters will watch, and we’ll be getting more heartbreaking stuff like a child crying and telling his mother that he doesn’t love her. Asylum. Not immigration. ?‍♂️?‍♂️

Fuuuuuuuuuccck. I know the guys like being contrarian, but “Manbearpig” was bad to watch, even with the money shot of Cartman pooping plastic treasure in one burst.

Cluttered episode. I feel bad that the series has been taking hits, and that Chibnall might shelve the series until 2020. Really?!? I compare Jodie to Colin Baker because they're both blonde, but I'm thinking Jodie might be getting the shaft. I mean, she didn't have a "Twin Dilemma," but I fear that the series would return in eighteen months' time, there would be a confusing mega-arc in the follow season, and she would get replaced. Oh, and then she'd be asked to come back to film the regeneration scene. Seriously, I like the show as it is, and Chibnall seems poised to shake things up. Once again, this was a cluttered episode, but I got through it okay. Yeah, pregnant guy (that's the term I'm using, @AudienceofOne) is too easy for laughs, but we got more interaction with Graham and Ryan. And we got the Pting . . . lovely design. You know that you have to kill it, and yet it's somewhat adorable. With the Adipose, there was no menace. They just popped off human bodies, and sometimes a person would die from that. The Pting would be its mortal nemesis, from the show to the merchandising. I like Jodie in Frustrated Doctor Mode. Seriously, I get she's looking better in the role than Capaldi was five episodes in. I know, not really fair to Peter, but I feel it's true. And I'm not praising her in a hope of looking "correct." So far, she's been carrying the load quite well. Right. The other blonde Doctor, and one with three companions. And now I'm wondering which of them will die in a crashing spaceship, mutter a line just as sad as "Now I'll never know if I was right."

Takeaways: Beebo is popular on [at least] two Earths, and there's another Supergirl. I half-forgot about that. I mean, the fecal has been hitting the fan, what with the heavy-handed metaphors for our time getting dropped into the show. But yeah, there is another Supergirl. Maybe it's because Melissa really liked playing evil in "Crisis on Earth-X"? Literal ear worms. Thanks, Agent Douche-erty!! Yeah, he probably liked Wrath of Khan. Or maybe he read Kingdom Come. Lots of random comic stuff getting incorporated into the series tonight. I think the protective suit works as a visual, and you can make an action figure out of it. Manchester Black? Well, he looks like he'll be traveling down a dark road. Then again, I think Agent Liberty needs a human nemesis. Looks like the DEO is one big powderkeg of tension. Even Brainy is feeling it. I'll admit, he was kinda cute explain that he's not actually a robot. Of course Kara laments good pies getting wrecked. And, of course, she makes some at the end. I don't consider myself a "pie person," but I totally feel her on that.

CBR lists "forgotten" anime from when otaku were growing up. I think they checked most of the boxes, even the ones of anime that aired on G4. ETA: Cowboy Bebop merchandise on sale in Japan. Ever want a plush Ein?

It felt like nobody won. Midoriya is still fucked up, and he and All Might have to fight another way to heal him now that Recovery Girl isn't going to do that. Todoroki wound up losing because he only used ice. Iida's brother got fucked up really bad (and it looks like I was wrong about an antagonistic relationship in that house). And Bakugo did what he said he'd do, but because Todoroki didn't use fire, it's a hollow victory. While Bakugo does seem to be more than a thug with a chip on his shoulder . . . that is some big chip. And his base mood is "Everybody sucks compared to me and therefore has to die. ESPECIALLY DEKU!!!!!!!!!!"

Pugs are always funny. ALWAYS. And I'm sure one of them was the pug from the "Talking Dog Likes Trump" sketch. Also, HuckaPM for the win. Because she sucks, and Aidy does a good job skewering her. Also, she's not afraid of falling down like the guys. Really hoping Pete is okay. He didn't bring up Staten Island's congressional race, which is my district. Probably for the best. Having Larry David as a father-in-law. It would probably be like having the Curb Your Enthusiasm music blaring all the time.

I don’t think I shared this here.

Adult Swim will be filling the extra hour tonight with Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem a Klok Opera at 3 a.m.

I'm caught up. Luck is the most insane Black Bull, right? I mean, I saw the back story, but I don't think Asta gets that revved up atht eh thought of meeting new opponents.

Pop Team Epic returns next week at 2:30 Attack on Titan marathon to be held November 17-18

Goku comes to New York for the Thanksgiving Day parade.

I Gave My Mom A Church sounds like a great movie title. Thanks, Dwyane Wade! We got Ronnie and shooting fish underwater with guns. So, yeah, Florida. Really hoping the “get out the vote” movement works, because I’d hate to see the team crestfallen Tuesday night. I mean, not as bad as two years ago, but still.

Aw, I like the credits and song. Like "The Hero!" it basically builds to an orgasm. English lyrics and countdown don't hurt, either. Here are the credits with subtitles. I'm sure you'll come around, @Sandman87. And if you don't, there are only twelve episodes to air. Like I said, the second season with debut in Japan soon, with the first episode premiering at Anime NYC. I looked up the narrator . . . I would have bet money that VA played that role in Space Dandy. Nope . . . but he did play Don Konogi in Bleach, and that guy might as well be related to Reigen.

I dunno. Stan would be a hero for being perhaps the only constantly sane person in a poor mountain town. And then his dad became an idiot. Kyle? Probably just as sane, and he has to be close to a child who is either an anti-Semite or an evil ball-buster. Meh, maybe they’re the heroes with Kenny, with Cartman being thei foil.

Before I go to bed . . . Judd & Pam go Marvel for Halloween.

Looking at it, "Man of Steel" was like a mix of two South Park episodes about being shafted: "Goobacks" and "Where My Country Gone?" Good think I don't write for Supergirl. "These damn aliens can just fly here and put us out of work? DEY TERK ER JERBS!!!!!"

Nice bit at the end seeing Rob celebrate at the game. And when the Eagles won, I knew that if the show was airing this year, there would have to be an episode spotlighting it. Nicely done. And we didn't see Mac jonesing for the dick of the Coward Chase Utley, so that was also nice. [Basics: Seven years after the events in "The World Series Defense," Utley performed a dirty slide, breaking the leg of the Mets' Ruben Tejada . . . and Utley never got any sort of comeuppance for it] Cute to see that the worst Philadelphia had to offer managed to make a difference. Kudos to Dee for giving Tom Brady a case of pinkeye, sending the Waitress to the side of Nick Foles. Hey, at least nobody got killed! Well, I'm thinking Charlie lost a leg, but Cricket probably had some healing technique he learned from rats and/or male prostitutes, and most of the infection cleared up by the first episode of the new season. Yeah, I don't know, either. Dang, one more episode. The seasons always go by too quickly.
