Lantern7

How many more episodes left this season? Nice that we get something as canon as Argo City this late, and that Kara basically had to pick something up. Also, Mon cures a kid, and that bastard will probably be the Big Bad next season. On the other hand, other Supergirl canon might come to the CW, including Comet the Super Horse. I'm thinking the diehard fans would "settle" for Streaky, though. Anybody else thinking that Argo City might prove to have been bullshit? I don't know, maybe built on Kara's memories? But if that was truly the case, we don't get the vote decider revealed as a Reign fan. And forgive me for the density on my part . . . Kara's mom is played by Erica "Worst Lois Lane Ever" Durance? Didn't know that, let alone know enough to make Botox cracks. Still thinking Sam/Reign will die, still thinking Alex will more or less adopt Ruby. Also dreading Lena becoming a bad guy, because she has more potential as -- at minimum -- an amoral character. Charcoal-disposing places . . . that's a thing?!? And they can contain a bomb?!? No, seriously, someone educate me.

Once again, I don’t know if Worldrace came up with the idea of what might wind up happening, or if CBS “insisted” on that. I think it’s the latter. I admit that I could be wrong. I’m a little queasy either way.

Here's my MHA submission. Any suggestions or alternations?

@Hpmec . . . I keep thinking these "adjustments" are demanded by CBS. Bertram and Elise probably came up with "Family Edition," but I don't think they'd hobble their own franchise to appeal to a far lower common denominator.

I keep forgetting. . . new episode airs tonight after wrestling.

Like a fucking car crash happening in slow motion that we cannot not see. Seriously, fuck CBS.

Ever hear of "Johnny Bananas"? The veteran from The Challenge that will never go away? He posted this on his Instagram. I really do not need assholes from other reality shows invading ANW.

Not bad. Not as dreary as Rogue One, though we knew that three of the main characters would survive. That takes a little suspense out, but it was okay. Not like somebody prophesize [sic?] that Han would not get killed on the Kesel Run, but rather by his emo bitch of a son. I think Han would rather have Chewie snap his neck. I am a little annoyed that everything happened to make Han Solo . . . Han Solo. Like the Kesel Run. And meeting Chewbacca. And getting the Millennium Falcon. Well, maybe just being in there. The bit where Han's surname was made up? That was . . . odd. Cut to the fanfic writers making him a second cousin of the Kenobi family. Hey, I would have made it "Djob" and called it a day. L337 = "L33T" = "elite"? Bad news . . . it looks like tie-in movies are going to be rough on droids with personality. Sucks since we could use those guys/gals more than C3P0. I know, I know, that was the point of Threepio. It is weird that I found Qu'ira to be hot? Not overtly so, but she looked good. I knew that her abduction would more or less jade her . . . but her superior is Darth Maul? That was something. Also . . . Darth Maul?!? I never got into the tie-in CGI series, so I figured his story ended in TPM. Seriously, if he lived, he wouldn't have made the prequel trilogy much better. Great visual, poor results. That was Thandie Newton? Cool. I guess she wanted a role without total nudity. Seriously, after that first season of Westworld, I felt qualified to examine her. And yes, I know she hasn't gotten nude in the current season. I can see the love for Young Lando. It would be interesting to see how he and Han would become friends. Liked the bit where Han threatened people with fictional troops on the Falcon, and Lando took that exact moment to take off. For anybody not into Robot Chicken, I offer this and this. Billy Dee has done several skits for the series, including a twist on "This deal is getting worse all the time!"

@RandomWatcher . . . link? I’ll need to inform folks on the ANW forum. Also, to bang my head against a wall. I thought they had an unspoken “No Raging Tools” policy. ETA: Never mind, someone posted on Facebook. Doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll get to taint the course.

Once again: get all of the holy people to Citi Field to cleanse the team.

There wasn't a listing for the rerun last night, and I only caught the very end. Question for anyone who watched: did they show the "live" version of the lobster/diner sketch, or the one from rehearsal that made it onto SNL's YouTube account?

Just saw this on Facebook; immediately thought of Ronny's "critique" of Chicago deep dish pizza. I like the "best of" episodes during breaks. It doesn't always have to be about highlights of Trevor trying not to rip his hair out. I don't know if Dulce and Michael had enough solo content, though. Dulce as God was sweet, though. She was really selling it.

Going into Progressive, here are the Pillows giving a brief history about their time with FLCL . . .

I’ll submit a request for a MHA forum. I’ll leave you with the following: “To inherit my power, you have to swallow some of my DNA! That’s how it works!” Thanks for that image, All Might!! ETA: Speaking of, I like All Might. My initial impression from seeing clips a while back was that he'd be Blonde Mr. Satan, but he's more along the lines of Might Guy and Armstrong . . . he loks like he'd be obnoxious, but you'd want him battling by your side, even with the over-emoting.

Heh. Heh. Heh. I can totally see that happening. ?

I didn’t know there was a new thread. I’m all, “Wow, no one has been watching?” And them I actually visit the forum. Topic? Samantha Bee is still constantly on fire. And the bit about Trump and abortions was something I’ve assumed for quite a while.

This just in . . . now we might getting S7 this summer. So, technically, the latest date would be September 21. Still sooner than November . . . if AS is telling the truth, of course.

Caught the episode On Demand because WPIX thought the Yankees were more important. They probably are, but still . . . Here's the main conflict in my head. [elevator] Lena: . . . seriously cannot stand Supergirl! So righteous! I'm trying to help her by stopping a "world killer." You'd think I'd create Kryptonite for the hell of it? Bloody hell, no!! Kara (sweating) But . . . I mean . . . she is trying to look out for all of us. Lena: Kara, you might be my best friend, though I don't have that many to rank. So I'll tell you and only you this: I get so upset when she brings up my brother. You think I ever mention her cousin at all??? Kara: Well . . . maybe . . . I dunno. Lena: Oh, Kara, I am ever so sorry to vent about that woman to you in a confined space. How have you been at Catco? Kara: Great! I- . . . wait. I work at Catco? Lena: (puzzled) Yes. You are a reporter, right? Last season, you started from scratch, annoyed that editor Snapper Carr . . . Kara: I think I'd remember being a reporter along with the . . . other stuff. James: (hanging upside down by his legs from above, because he's a friggin' man of action) Come on, Kara . . . you work at Catco, and I run it. Remember? Kara: (scratching her head) But I only see you at the Dee Eee- James: GAAAHHHH!!!!! (turning to Lena while continuing to hang) Hey, you. Lena: Hello. (quick smooch) You know, I like this. I really do. James: Yeah. It's gonna suck when you inevitably betray us all and go full Luthor on us. Lena: Oy! I haven't decided on that yet!!! I'm cutting Ruby slack, what with the woman she knows as her mother actually being an improvised cover story for a Kryptonian death plot device that's probably not going to survive in any form by the finale. I am getting tired of M’yrnn, mostly because he's in a sad situation. I'm guessing that there will be a miracle cure, and it will be chocolate cookies. I'd opt for obscene amounts of cocaine, mostly because it sounds so horrible as a remedy. The bit with him and Ruby with the foosball was sweet. I'd like to see Mon outside of his union suit more often. Into regular clothes! Regular clothes! I know he's probably crashing at the DEO and doesn't need to dress human, but it gets a bit old.

Tonight, NBC tries to make red noses a thing by linking them to charity. And that means having starts of various shininess try their best on a scaled-down ANW course! Of course, Akbar went last. And I'm thinking he's been rehearsing a lot longer than the other celebrities. Dude has abs. And while he did have some problems with the course, he managed to complete it under the watchful eye of Kevin Bull. Okay, he skipped one obstacle, but he had a torn bicep. Totally legit. But I think the real MVP was Matt for shouting out his colleague's entire name: Akbar Oluwakemi-Idowu Gbajabiamila. Dang. I had to look it up; Wikipedia has the last name as "Gbaja-Biamila," but I don't remember ever seeing a hyphen. Oh, and he has cute kids, most of whom never to see their daddy play in the NFL. Can't really remember much else. Ne-Yo and Drew Dreschel's double backflips were sweet. I think Colton from Superstore might be the biggest ninja to ever take on the course. New season starts in six days! Will Midoriyama be conquered once more?

Why can't CBS be honest about how long the Reunion lasts? Better question: who cares? Probst only talks with the most notable people, and the others get less time than the girl who tried to predict who would win. And she was probably paid to show up with money and free pizza slices. Yes, I am that cynical. Once again the upcoming season has an interesting premise that will go to shit almost immediately. Yeah, I've heard that Survivor is the highest-rated series on CBS not involving Sheldon Cooper (I could be wrong), but it's getting to a point where I barely care. But hey! We need to have Kevin Hart come out to promote his one-season wonder game show!!! And I wonder how much drugs he needed to get talked into coming to the Reunion, because it's kinda beneath him. Also, he oversells as bad as Probst.

Interesting end to a crap season. I assumed that the third finalist would break the tie for years, but I figured that each player would cast a private ballot that would only get shown in case of a tie. I dunno if Dom taking Laurel to Day 39 was the end-all/be-all mistake Probst was hyping. I was pumped, thinking that Dom would relinquish immunity and try to take out Wendell personally. That would have taken massive testicles. Instead, Dom gets to constantly wonder what would've happened if he picked Angela. Would she have voted for him? Would Laurel have beaten Wendell with the fire? Then I remember . . . I don't care, and the sound we're now hearing is Probst spanking it to footage of the next season. Ghost Island is in the past now. The legacy: too many damn idols. Also, Sia is still a fan. Maybe she hates herself like a lot of us do. Now I want to see fans parody her music and videos using Survivor as a template. Not making fun of her, mind you, but the series itself.

Well, this is still happening. For some reason. I'm sorry, but is there any point of watching veteran Challengers dragging third-string stars into their own personal hell? I'm sure at least half the charities involved are probably chagrined. Wes-as-submissive was funny, though.

I'm great with the season. Just imagine that Archer's subconscious has finally broken through to let him know what a total and complete asshole he's been. Sadly, if he ever wakes up, I don' think the lessons would stick. Has that ever really happened in the first seven seasons? I'm guessing that in "Danger Island," Pam is the emotional one. Maybe this one has a lower threshold for Archer's insensitivity than the real McCoy. McPoovey? Of course, he doesn't notice that she isn't sinking. Also . . . where is there quicksand? I'm not saying the danger is gone for the likes of us, but you never really hear about that anymore. I'm digging that we're basically getting It's a Mad,Mad, Mad World on a smaller scale. My guess for the big winner? Luigi. He needs money to get the fuck off the island. Also: Fuchs' troops insisting they speak English. You know, because everyone else does.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. See ya in September!! Unless CBS screws over TAR!

Better than “Tony Time” on The Challenge. Not into wrestling, but I know John worked with reality vet Mike Mizanin. That guy set the bar high. . . . who?
