Lantern7

You too? I was expecting that to be topped with one of the twins putting John's hand between herself and her sister, all, "If you were correct, your hand would've been broke by now." BTW, what do Mary-Kate and Ashley do, anyway?

Before I forget: I think this is a different Chloe. No friggin' way should any continuity of Smallville should rear its misshapened head. Okay, we can have both versions of Oliver Queen in awe about being attracted to nerd girls with blonde dye, but that's it.

1. Did Akon do anything on that song besides the sounds between verses? 2. Anybody else expecting something to blow up the car at the end? 3. I think "I Just Had Sex" is Winn's ringtone.

Just realized I didn't link my panel recap from NYCC last month. Enjoy! ETA: There are a few spoilers about "Danger Island," since they rant the first episode. In other news, Adult Swim is running Frisky Dingo -- the show Adam Reed worked on before Archer -- weeknights at 1 a.m. I think it's held up well.

Stop Being Polite speculates on Camila's future. Personally, I think Dirty XXX will be it for her, at least in terms of regular/"official" seasons. You could create a parallel with pre-Cutthroat CT, but I don't think it really matches up well. Also, the writer speculates that "if she does come back I think she will reap what she has sewn." *sigh* "Sewn"??

Another episode, more angst. Which should be par for the course about any show centering on Marvel mutants. I think any mutant that could resolve problems and alleviate anguish would be considered Omega Level. So much for Lauren having a steady/shady boyfriend. Seriously, though, if the kid didn't murder anybody or betray his species, and he doesn't bring the feds and/or Sentinel Services down on the sanctuary, then why should anybody care? Why didn't anybody see the DoJ Lady going into that and think, "Hey, I think this might be mutant-related"? Story convenience, I guess.

Awwwwww . . . the adventures of the Danvers Sisters: Midvale's Finest. Pretty cute, even if we started with both girls being . . . less than amicable . . . towards each other. OMG, Chloe Sullivan is in Arrowverse continuity! Man, I wonder if Allison Mack will repr- . . . right, she's in a cult. Shit. I'd be upset about the show having The Worst Lois, but I don't remember who she is. The mom/probable vessel? I feel bad for the character of Chloe. She was one of the few positive constants of Smallville, and was getting abused by the writers. DC Comics brought her into continuity in an Action Comics backup, which got shoved into a Jimmy Olsen one-shot issue, which was pretty good. Then came New52. And Rebirth. And no more Chloe. I knew J'onn was the agent, because who else could it have been? I didn't get "her" name; now I'm imagining it was spelled/pronounced "N'Oel N'Eill." Shit, Midvale High succcccccccked. Or maybe that was supposed to be a homage to Smallville?

Adult Swim has two programs stuck in the 1 a.m. slot, ending the "classic" rotation: Frisky Dingo and Moral Orel. Both start tonight with their first episodes. Happily, we won't have the Christmas episode of the latter than was the first episode to air. Seriously, that's a sweet block of subversive shit, and you can see what Adam Reed was working on before he moved to FX with Archer.

Wait . . .that was Dean Cain?!? I looked at the guy in the clip and thought "bloated Dean Cain."

Coffee beans pooped out by monkeys? I have nothing to add. I message often on OKC, but nobody has written back lately. I just wanted to make the joke.

Forgive me, but I forgot the ending. We saw Hela in the middle of Ragnarok. Perhaps she got out? "Yes, I escaped 'The Twilight Of The Gods.' How? Well, Surtur might be a fiery demon and have the voice of Clancy Brown, but he was a total and utter bitch. Now, with my craving for vengeance and awesome canon-friendly head dress, I can rule the MCU once Thanos gets killed off. I mean, that's basically how 'Phase 4' starts, right? Or is it 'Phase 5'? I keep going online, but the damn horns get in front of my eyes."

Next episode: "Moss Piglets." Then we get a two-week break before the final two episodes. Will the season end with Heidi kicking Cartman in the balls so hard that he achieves a lot of hang time? Probably not. In the meantime, here's what we got coming this Wednesday: When was the last time Timmy was front and center? Gotta be "Handicar," right? ETA: Here's the press release. Say it with me: "MIMSSSSSSSSSSYYYYY!!!!"

Well, we got a cheerier note to end the year in contrast to 2016. While we still have the same ominous threat looming over us, we have a modicum of hope. John got to do the ending he wanted tonight: Catheter Cowboy and a lot of the characters from the past year. Including Jack MacBrayer in his Kato Kaelin wig. And the penguins! Still wish I could've seen a clip about the Traffic Zebras, as opposed to the greenscreen footage for online use. Great year for John. He got an Emmy, the show got an Emmy, he's gonna play Zazu in the upcoming live-action take of The Lion King . . . and Saturday Night Live briefly goofed on him about it last night. It's 1:30-1:40 . . . very good impression.

The fun continues. The gang stops off in Pakistan, and shit just goes straight downhill. Mysterious wounds, unresponsive and diseased citizens, and Jojo almost impaling himself on a fence because he thought that was pulling a Dukes of Hazard-style move with the car. Oh, and his greeting to a local, which was painful. Anyway, it turns out Enyaba's in town, and she lures the gang to their demise . . . especially Polnareff, who killed her son. Because she can fuck up anybody, Hol Horse stops by the hotel, and Enyaba responds by stabbing a hole in him with scissors and letting her Stand (Justice, which reminds me of the skeletal Hueco Mundo guy from Bleach) gets into the wound. Hol breaks out his Emperor gun, but Enyaba gets him to shoot himself in the head, which alerts our protagonists. To be continue, oh-way-oh. In other news, Jotaro gets a perfect replica of his jacket. And the girl gets sent home . . . but damn, how lucky is Jotaro?!? "Justice" wraps up next week. Then we get a week off for a DBZK marathon. I like the idea that JBA airs after it, as if to try and overcompensate for the pink blob monster that can't be killed, turns people into candy, and eats them. With JBA, there are so many "HOLY FUCK!!!" moments, and the characters share our shock.

For anybody who likes cosplay and/or being squicked out: cosplayer dresses as ugly male DBZ characters. So much detail, you guys.

Adult Swim does that during holidays and holiday-adjacent Saturdays. This one happens on Thanksgiving weekend. If they did it every 3-4 weeks, that would get annoying.

I think that any member of the inner circle goes through intense martial arts training before getting exposed to Terrigen. Or maybe this is a jab at Aquaman becoming a Hell's Angel, only riding a giant seahorse instead of a Harley.

WRW FTW. Bonus points to the Siamese for wigging out. I think Jay Pharaoh did a better Katt Williams, though. Also, the Kyle/Leslie bits are usually good. If you don't like them, you'd still get Colin getting humiliated and/or beaten, and that shit never gets old. Who was that? It was short but spot-on. And he will be playing Zazu. Also, Trevor Noah was bitching about how nobody called him in for an audition. Good stuff. ETA: Just realized Siamese aren't hairless. My mother isn't a fan of cats without fur. Like little aliens trying to pass themselves off as cats.

Poked around Toonami Tumblr. DBZ Kai marathon will be running on November 25. In case you want to take the weekend off, here's the basic gist: big pink glob monster destroys everything, turns people into candy and eats them. Because Japan. Also, Vegeta kinda goes out like a punk. Any word on schedule changes? Still wondering/hoping we get something offbeat down the line. Once again: I think Iron-Blooded Orphans is interesting for a Gundam series, but I'm still pulling for something offbeat. Also, I'm fifteen volumes into the Assassination Classroom manga, and I learned the origins of Koro Sensei. Come on, if we could have goofy-ass Death running the school in Soul Eater, why not the yellow tentacle monster?!?

Before I forget: "Mjonir" translated into English = "Magic Feather"?

Ever wanted to play a video fighting game as the weakest link in a crappily-received movie? Here's your chance! Is there going to be a second act skin, where you can get Enchantress to try and channel Shakira?

Caught the latest episode yesterday. While there's not much action, at least it's more interesting, though I don't see why the Troupe would let Hisoka near them without trying to murder him. And the youngest Troupe member isn't as cute as Gon or Killua, so I don't know why Hisoka would come back to them. Lead Bomber = Evil Fred from Scooby-Doo? It's the sweater wrapped around the neck that makes me think that. Well, they did have to stop a ball going Mach 2. Sometimes, you have to get close to the man with the van and the candy, even if you don't really want the candy. I can see where the dodgeball arc would lag. Also, as somebody who played Super Dodgeball on the NES, I was disappointed that nobody got hit, flew away from the field, then came back from the other side. That was so awesome back then.

Here's an album based on OPM from Japan, with a video centered on everybody's favorite green-haired cyborg, and an album cover with Saitama looking awesome.

AV Club gives the finale a D. I'm posting that here because of their headline: "The first season of Inhumans ends as it began: stupidly, but with a good dog" Seriously, has any animal propped up a show where the critter is the best actor? And Lockjaw is CGI!! You can make a case for Gorgon and Karnak being the fun characters, but you have to go back to the giant Inhuman Bulldog. If there's a second season, I'd want to know his story . . . or at least how the royal family got a massive, teleporting, probably slobbering beast like him. Did we see any other animals on Attilan? "Marvel's Inhumans: If Stan Lee knew this would be a mess, he wouldn't have made a cameo."

Bill Simmons does a mailbag; comparisons to Challengers and NBA stars are made.
