Lantern7

I'm guessing GT is officially unofficial with Pan flying around that young. Or maybe she will land on her head and be unable to do anything but fly. And be a pest. I know, quarter-Saiyan, but that should be enough to punch Grandpa Satan through several walls. I like the idea of Goku suffering for his actions (re: Kaioken Times Ten in Super Saiyan Blue mode). Yes, he's died a few times and got laid out in a body cast, but not being hungry and having troubles flying around and using Instant Transmission? Nice material for a one-shot. And has he visited Penguin Village since DB? Nice to see Arale is still a kid. I wonder if she was transformed into candy during the Buu arc. Nah . . . Toriyama doesn't cross properties unless he wants to. Also, she's a robot. Ever think Chi Chi chokes her husband in his sleep? It wouldn't be that bad . . . she does tend to get really mad at him, and I don't think he'd even feel it. Of course Piccolo likes looking after Pan. That's as close to having a granddaughter as he'll get.

Rewatching the episode. I think Polnareff used the French word for "grandma" as Enya was painfully dying. That's Enya, a woman who attacked him with zombies and forced him to lick a toilet. Such is the evil of Steely Dan of Steel. Stupid question: did Jojo get a new prosthetic hand at the same place Jotaro picked up another uniform? I'm just going to roll my eyes, say "Speedwagon Foundation," and leave it at that. ETA: Caught a few scenes during SNL. Basically, The Lovers is/are a Stand that multiples rapidly and resembles a crab. You may discuss. Honestly, though, doesn't Dan look like the kind of guy that would give you crabs? And I'm shutting up now.

Stupid question: If a nuke is dropped, would people be flying around like that? I would've just thought those closest to impact would be vaporized. Also, I kinda expected Matt & Trey to be all, "Casualties weren't that great. These are Canadians, after all." My frame of reference -- flawed as it might have been -- were these credits for the anime Kill la Kill, starting at 0:52. I figured the Toronto nuke was more figurative. But nope . .. . lots and lots of dead Canadians, and Ike is the only Broflofsky (sp?) without blood on his hands . . . as far as I can remember

Stanton trade for the Mets. Downside: They look like chumps letting the bigger local team get him, though they probably want to save their money for their prized pitchers, should they throw for several months without an arm falling off. Perhaps they'd get into the damn MRI when asked, Syndergaard. Upside: Number of games against the Marlins: 19. Number of games against the Yankees: 6. That's two more than I figured, but it's still less of a hurt Giancarlo can put on the team.

Three words: The Walking Dead. I watched until it piled up on the DVR, then I was all, "Fuck it" and let it go. And yeah, is there an episode limit for Agents of SHIELD: Fucked. In. Sppppppaaaaaaaaaccccccccce?

And I just realized that the biggest platonic couple in the Arrowverse have counterparts that died in the Crisis. I wish I had lots of money. I'd commission an artist to show Barry/Grant and Kara/Melissa reading those issues, faces recoiling in horror.

Dang. At this rate, most of the team will be dead, Jemma will have hanged herself in a shower (suicide note: "You didn't hear this coming, but I did, ironically"), and Phil will hold a gun to his head, wondering if the MCU would end because he kinda/sorta helped established it. No shit. Thinking about it, I've seen that in anime. Like watching Videl get pummeled by Spopovich in Dragon Ball Z. Or Taro chasing after Keneki in Tokyo Ghoul. Nice that Inhuman Vision managed to live . . . and then she gets sold like a commodity. Of course. And Jemma's audio gets cut off. If she comes back to Fitz, she'll be as damaged as he was coming out of the Matrix Framework. She would be willing to get marooned on Hive Planet for another long stint than be a Kree handmaiden. At least the asshole got killed. And Phil is through screwing around. Maybe Daisy will "quake" Deke's nuts off. Here's hoping.

When was the last time Stan blew chunks? Also, I think Sharon puking on Randy was payback for him vomiting Member Berries on her last season. What happened to Terrance and Phillip? My headcanon: they died of old age ten seconds before Kyle abandoned the studio.

Jordan Klepper tried to eat the president's preferred McDonald's meal in one segment. That took guts. And then the astronaut offered him a Moon Pie, and I felt bad for Jordan.

Right. Bruce will fall so far, he will be dating a Pokemon. Hey, she's changed form twice, and you could say those "special chemicals" were a "Leaf Stone" or something. Seriously, did you ever think we'd like a villain whose canon is "cuts a notch on himself after every kill"? While I'm thinking about it . . . did Zsasz come in S1 or S2. If it's the latter, I'd say he owes royalties to Wentworth Miller. Gotta love the GCPD. They finally have the balls to take the side of law . . . but I imagine this excahnge as Oswald Cobblepot slowly walks to the mic: "Shouldn't we, I dunno, throw him out?" "Now, now. He might have something important to tell us."

Here's a clip from Funimation. I think I can guess the breakdown of the world of Black Clover. Irredeemable Assholes: 60% Plucky Underdogs: 39.2% People whom you wouldn't be able to accurately judge five seconds after seeing them : 0.8% ETA: I was wondering what marathons Toonami would have for December 23/24 and 30/31. Well, the first one is Cowboy Bebop. Safe pick, though they'll probably run the most recently aired episodes. And keep the opening credits cut, which is straight up blasphemous. ETA2: DBS for December 30/31.

Dang, I can't be the only person that feels bad for the second string. I know they're not written that well, but damn . . . If that has showed up, Laurel-2 would have "killed" it. And then James would have devoured it. Because they are that hardcore.

Dreary way to end the fall episodes. Same thing happened with Arrow, but Gotham was more fun to watch, even with Bruce being a complete and utter dick. Note to Alfred: if you're going to beat sense into your ward, make sure you don't bruise him. I'm sure the damage will be undone in about five episodes, but it was still painful. Seriously, Bruce will be staggering around the red light district, and Ra's will walk by him. Hey, Alexander Siddig's name is still in the credits, so that's in play. I kept waiting for Ra's to pop up at any minute. "The bill will come due, Jim." "I got that, Mordo. Thanks." I'm sure Jim will try to find a way to get out under Sofie's thumb and lock up every bad person in Gotham City. Right now, he's not starting off well. He's clearly not sane. I mean, he's not Edward/Jerome-insane, but he just loves to drive the car into the wall over and over, expecting to get through at some point. When is Zsasz getting bumped up to the main characters? He's a delight, even if he looks too pale and rat-like. Has he teamed with Barbara before? Totally "ship" material. Hi, Butch! Yes, you're white as fuck and probably not entirely human, but at least you got both hands again! Question: would Ed notice as he's screaming at the mirror? I'm thinking the ratings aren't that hot for Fox to not give us a date. That's a shame, because the series delivers in not giving a fuck. Legends of Tomorrow is the only other comic-based show that's as insane, but it's not on the endangered list.

"In case you watched 'Crisis on Earth-X' and wanted to check out Arrow? Well, Oliver Queen makes bad decisions. A lot of bad decisions. He is incapable of getting out of bed without doing something to irrevocably hurt those close to him." Well, the honeymoon (as it were) is over. The newbies are out, and they're going to form Team Speedy (League of Substitute Vigilantes Heroes?). And we have the Star City version of the Legion of Doom . . . twice the number, a third of the ham. I'm sorry, but between Damien and Malcolm, the "original" version might have fit into the world of Sixties Batman. Is William that tall or is Thea that short? Also, I feel for her . . . not for getting jumped, but for getting jumped while wearing a dress. Laurel was comfortable. Not fair! I know the newbies bug, but they had a point. The sad part is that Rene has gotten so far in the past 18 months. He's cleaned up, he's been less of an irritant, and he didn't remind Curtis that he was a widower while the guy was whining about a former love who is still pretty much alive. And then? "Hoss, I'm throwing you under the bus to see my daughter." Dang. I don't really care about Dinah, but I understand why Rene had to be the leak. And I'm still pro-Curtis. I'm not as smart as him, but I get the part about being a putz. I'm still wondering what would possess parents to name their kid "Echo." Awww, Evil Laurel has a heart. Not much of one, but at least she's not that cold. BTW, can we just call her "Laurel"? Not like somebody's found an unspoiled Lazarus Pit to dump the original's body into. I do think that there is a Laurel on Earth-X, and she's probably a pain in the ass there as well. I know, Barry is a dumbass. But I'm thinking that when he rebooted his timeline, there were subtle differences. That probably included John and Lyla conceiving at a different time (perhaps by seconds), and winding up with a boy instead of a girl. And the parents wouldn't have known if Barry hadn't told them last year. That said, Barry could benefit from repeated dope-slaps upside his head. Depressing midseason finale . . . but that was the case with Supergirl and The Flash. Legends of Tomorrow? Not as dreary, and that followed a kickass episode.

Reality Blurred rips into the latest episode. It's hard to top how Andy started the piece: A short time later, he wrote about Probst selling the "challenge" to Dalton Ross. Very, very feeble stuff.

OKC: Hey, somebody likes you. Me: Holy shit! I mean, I'm kinda hitting it off with one woman, but it's nice to be wanted. Is her profile still up? I'll click the link from my mail . . . Computer: UNSAFE LINK!!!!! Me: Okay, I'll just open a tab, sign in, see who liked my profile, and check out her profile. Me: Okay. She has a location, height, 87 percent match (which might be bullshit) and two pics. But how the heck do I work with this?

We have names, we have faces. Now I'll have to make screenshots of the videos I took at Washington Square Park and mark off who's who. The only guy I recognized was Tim Janus, and that was because he was wearing his "Eater X" facepaint. Did not know his partner was the more famous Joey Chestnut, Devourer Of Hot Dogs.

I'm thinking a mix of Naruto and Blue Exorcist. "Oh, shit, the only boy in our world that is incapable of using magic has the mark of the Five-Leaf Clover! We were in awe of his brother getting the Four-Leaf Clover, so this is a total and utter mindblow!! Who would have expected this?!? Oh, right, this is a shonen anime, and those favor the underdogs. Man, I am a one-dimensional dick!"

Wow. At least Matt and Trey have roughly 42 weeks to watch the news and figure out S22. Or give up the show and go into seclusion, growing beards like David Letterman's. Nice touch to tie the bulk of the previous nine episodes together. Also nice of Ike to not beat Kyle to within a millimeter of his life and drag him to Ottawa for Canadian justice. And dummy that I am, I thought Ike would be the big hero, which is basically a 180 from the movie, where he didn't play a role. Turns out the Squirts didn't teach him to tie efficient knots just yet. Damn, Heidi finally got a clue and did what she should've done last season. If the series needs a professional victim, Cartman is about ten of those on his own. Totally thought Heidi would kill herself. Are the Whites -- or maybe just the dad -- related to Chief Runs With Premise and Premise Running Thin? Way too on the nose. Gotta love the reaction to PCP and a Strong hooking up. Bigger matters abound and Ike sniffs shit, and that's what makes people vomit? I will give props for the camouflage . . . talking about their problems in public with the most naive kid from skoo school.

Survivor in four words: Too. Many. Damn. Advantages. Between tonight and Cirie's ouster, I would hope that Burnett and Co. would ease back on those. I doubt it, though. Love, hate or be ambivalent about Ben, I think he made Survivor history: he negated a unanimous vote. I get how he can bug, but that was fucking impressive. If Lauren hadn't given the shell to Mike, she might have have stayed in the game. If she brought her Extra Vote coupon (or whatever), she could've split her votes, forced a tie and at least slow her descent into the fire. Least Valuable Player? Probst. "The tribe has spoken"??? No no no no no. Ben has spoken. The rest of the tribe wanted him gone. Ben wanted Lauren gone. Lauren is gone. You messed up, Probst. I don't know what was worse: yet another endurance Immunity Challenge, or being able to see Ryan's skeleton without using x-rays. Oh, man. That was gross. Give him a few burgers, Probst. No condiments . . . just buns and patties. And more of the tribe breaking off into study groups. Annoying. I understand why, but it's still annoying.

Thanks, @trow125. I kinda feel bad for Jordan. He's picking up the baton wrested from Larry Wilmore's hands, that was once held by Stephen Colbert. His tone is basically "What If Colbert Got His Show This Decade, And He Riffed Off Alex Jones Instead Of Bill O'Reilly?" The "citizen journalists" are an interesting twist, but it doesn't seem to help. And Jordan could probably be considered a student of Jon Stewart, and he is WAY behind Sam, John and Trevor. Also, I feel bad for the "couple" in their segment last night. To talk with people that toxic, while pretending to be that toxic? If the cast has to take long showers when they go home, I wouldn't be shocked.

Reality Blurred weighs in on Vendettas. As you can see, Andy is not a fan. There's a description of the format, and it does look interesting. But isn't that always the way? The biggest thing that ruins Challenges . . . is Challengers.

Does the Doom timeline count? That's where my mind went as well. Last year, I took the absence of James Olsen and Thea Queen from their respective series as a sign that they were having an clandestine, interdimenional fling.

Well, that was . . . an episode. TO quits (why did he come?!?), Jenna is officially dropped, Romeo raises hell after Zach elbows him in the head, and Ashley's dad takes a turn for the worst. Oh, and there was dangerous trampoline basketball as well. Romeo looked like an utter punk, bringing his security/bodyguard to try and fuck up Zach if the elbow had been intentional. I will admit that if you need extra people to fuck a Champ up, Zach would be the guy where it would be justified (descending order: Zach, CT, Wes, Johnny, Cory). I would not have minded because Zach is an asshole. If he improves over time, then maybe he could be the next CT. Right now, I'm not a fan. "Hey, guys. I wanna prove myself by takin' on a Champ! Then I'll get my ass whumped and sent home, Miz gives me money for charity, and then I go home to take that paternity test." Riff seems like a nice guy and all, but that's where my mind went. Can't take a white guy with that hair seriously. Johnny? CT did not stop TO. TO left because he apparently had better things to do. As for CT getting free drinks? Not unless he brings a tablet with "Bananas Backpack" cued up. "You're THAT guy?!? Holy shit! I don't even watch that show, and I still laughed my ass off! So funny!!" I'll give credit to Johnny and Star Version of Cara Maria props for trying to defuse things. But I think this miniseason is turning into a clusterfuck.

Wait . . . isn't The Flash coming back next month? What, is LoT getting a shorter run again? Dang, CW. I'm guessing there will be rotation with Black Lightning, but LoT is the good shit. "In case you missed last week's event, we're gonna have Jax watch his substitute dad die all over again." I know, not really that, but it's still painful. And Jax leaves, which kinda makes sense since he has no powers at the moment. I was think that "Marty" (winner of the Most Hanukah Sweater for five straight years) might have subconsciously put in a bit where Jax gets Firestorm powers without a partner. Or that he can merge with somebody new. Or anybody. Still pulling for him sucking in Mick for the humor alone. The Waverider: a ship so awesome, Gideon won't even blink if you ask her to make a puppet of Dr. Stein. I know that Snarts are as different as Harrisons Wellses over on The Flash, but I like this Leo. He's snarky, but the malice isn't in full effect. Trying to get Mick to dry out? A bit out of bounds, and just begging for a beating. The plot? Right. Vikings get a hold on a Furby, and they take over North America. Works for me . . . and that's before Dark rolls in with his weak Odin game. I mean, doesn't he go to the movies or binge on DVDs? Odin only has the one eye! I also liked the team dismissing Ray's plan, because it was like the Doctor trying to pass himself as Odin in "The Girl Who Died." Naturally, Dark is more convincing. Apparently, so is Ray in the Beebo, telling the Viking to stand down. Only this show. Constantine? Whatever. If there was a huge appeal, the character would still have a series. Sorry for the negativity . . . I just think that he is a character no TV series or movie will get "right." ETA: I was writing this around the time my connection went down, so it had been a few hours after I watched the episode.
