Lantern7

I liked the former. I think it got remixed/covered in Police Story in the Eighties. The latter's video I will not click, because I am more than physically sick at this point.

To review: everybody on The Island lived. Except for Samantha. And Oliver has little indicating that William is still holding a grudge, except for actually talking to him for more than two minutes. Thea's in a coma, so she should be okay. Rene got a collapsed lung, but not only is he moving around, he's got another shot for his daughter. Diggle is alive, but he's got serious shell shock. And Quentin still can't kill Laurel-2. Uggggggh. Seriously, though, I'm shocked he hasn't fallen off the wagon a dozen times since he stopped drinking. Oliver alone can drive a teetotaler to booze, and then he has to deal with his daughters coming back from death. Vigilantes on the run? Nice concept. I'm thinking at least one of Team Arrow had the hindsight to come up with contingency places. So, basically, they're fucked, and Oliver should just knock out Willaim and dump him off at a church.

More craziness . . . and thanks to the schedules of CW and Fox, we get Gotham and Arrow back-to-back. Poor Ed. Poor stupid, stupid Ed. Oswald letting him win was the absolute worst thing he could done. It would've have been funnier if Oswald deciphered the clues based on something different. For imstance: why the rapping messengers? Funny to see Zsasz groove on that. Bruce is an idiot. I get that he's just starting out, but didn't he figure than he'd put at least one life in danger? And that would've been before Young Indiana Jones got involved. On the bright side, Alfred knows the best way to hurt Ra's: going right up and punching him. Never change, Alfred! Anubis the Dog Man. Why not? Jim grabbing his bone and chucking it through a (surprisingly weak) window? Why not??

Forgot about Fast Pass's origin, where Jimmy's parents were more horrified by the standup comedy than the crippled legs.

I'm so ambivalent, it barely hurts. Right now, I'm rooting for the Coward Chase Utley to be taken out in a humiliating manner.

No out-loud-stuff for me, but I'm suffering from a respiratory infection, and I'm wrecked. Looks like Gerald isn't the only one in South Park that can wreak havoc online. Butters-as-Professor Chaos is fun to watch . . . but where's General Disarray? I like the running gag of Heidi coming up behind Cartman, and his look of regret for ever meeting her.

I feel like a wreck from the neck up from a sinus infection and the medication used to combat it. Seriously not caring any of these people. It sucks when I get more value from the show when I closed my eyes and heard it in my mental background. "Patrick you can stop throwing now. Patrick? Are you with us, buddy?" #Whatever

This season is beyond redemption. How do you have everything and nothing at the same time? All we got was an endgame and a lot of bickering. Also, Jenna may have fucked herself in picking Camila, and Camila is the worst sport ever. Why is she still in the game? Seriously, if nice people win the title, it's still a suck season. Too many people in the game, and Redemption House might be the worst development in the history of the series.

Batman vs. Two-Face is coming out soon on multiple platforms. It's a follow-up to Return Of The Caped Crusaders from last year. Basically, you get Harvey Dent done in the style of the Sixties series, with William Shatner as Harvey/Two-Face. As usual, Adam West and Burt Ward reprise their roles as Batman and Robin. Sadly, West has recently past away, so this was his final performance. Here's my coverage of the panel. As you'd expect, it's cheesy and bat-spit crazy, and that's before you factor in Shatner, perhaps the ham's ham. I didn't describe the episode, but I highly recommend watching it.

Fun shit. I think this should be the Legends' motto: "We may screw things up fifty times worse, but we wind up making them fifty-one times better!" Seriously eff the Time Bureau. When do we get Linear Men? They're not that wrong about the Legends, but they're still dicks. At least Sara kept busy in her sixth months away, at least away from the retail shop. Yeah, if you've been declared dead twice, that would be a problem. Also liked her telling Ray and Nate about how she swiped the key, and the boys looking at her. Dudes, why are you shocked?!? It's Sara Lance! He can kick Caesar's ass. She can do anything because she's that awesome. No profound off-screen changes. They're still the lovable dopes they always were. And, of course, Nate would give Caesar a book on Roman history, because he's contantly trying to out-dork Ray.

Feeling sick today. Might have gotten a bug at the con. At least the season opener was fun. I'm too exhausted to think "This House Is Bitchin'," though. Anagram finder was no help. I'm thinking t-shirts will be made and sold before the second episode. I know, that was the Thinker in the end . . . but for a split-second, I thought Also, was anybody else thinking Roborai (sorry, Cisco) was going to be from the Speed Force? Jetpack and wings were sweet. Great . . . Killer Frost is still a split personality of sorts. At this point, why not?

Lockjaw is still cute. And a car hit him. Of course. Mortis kinda looks like Xorn, right? Is it just me? I'm hoping Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith find time to poke fun at the show. "Max & Silent Bolt" sounds nice, right?

I bailed when the main guys got jailed in Terminus. Funny that "Carla" survived to tell The Nerd the real story. Of course, The Nerd winds up starting a new Walker disaster. My mother watches the show, but she doesn't want to see the special. She did laugh at "Happy Glenndings." "I'll find you" = "Hold the door"?

Great. Better than shipping them to Vegas. Will another team adopt the 51s?

Not really "feeling" Aquaman as a water-breathing biker dude. I mean, I get how the "normal" version might not resonate, but it feels like too much effort is being expended. Also, I feel bad that Ezra Miller might not get love because Grant Gustin has done "Barry Allen: Putz/Hero" so well.

Am I wrong in not thinking of Keith like that? I know coke use was the scourge of the majors, but it wasn't a PED. I feel that he should get into the Hall of Fame, though I'm certain the Veterans Committee will do it after Keith is smoking in Heaven. Yeah, maudlin as hell, but the image popped into my head. Haven't been watching coverage. How is Papi doing? Could he get switched out for Kenan Thompson without anyone the wiser? ETA: Damn, typing on an iPad makes you look drunk.

Just realized that I forgot to record that last night. I didn't set up slots on Wednesday because baseball games go way over three hours in the postseason. I gave bigger things on my plate, but I am chagrined.

Reminder: this is a thread for casting spoilers only. If you have results, please create a separate thread. Thank you.

Dang. Well, at least CT can attempt a life outside the BMP bubble and continue being a good dad. Ditto for Wee Dee. Anybody keeping up with Nicole? I'd hate to think she'd wash out being an officer. Once again, I like her.

Sad news: Ralphie May passed away at 45.

I covered the Capaldi panel from this morning.

Melissa? Which one? Shit, too many franchises to sift through. ETA: UK Melissa. See, I saw the name, and I thought it would be that Melissa. Who would see that coming?

And the insanity continues. Next week, it's basically a lead-in to the slightly-less batshit Arrow at 9. Wow, Jim's got a potential Embittered Ex in Sophia. Of course she'd come to Gotham. Of course she'd start exploring the possibilities of Jimbo's jock. Why not? Also, Riddler's potential girlfriend gets suckered with a heavy book and killed by Zsasz. I'm surprised this show doesn't get more heat about stuff like that. On the other hand, she was Loony Tunes. "Riddlerette"?!? I'm thinking "Cluemaster" comes next season. Speaking of Ed . . . interesting that he doesn't have his brain all the way back. There's also the deal about him getting thawed out, with that process being a problem last season. Today? Determined lady with a torch. Why not?!? I like the Adventures Of Bruce & Alfred. Kinda like the Star-Spangled Kid & Stripsey for the 21th Century. Also like Bruce being an asshole on purpose, as opposed to by accident. I hope David is having fun with the new direction. Alfred, as always, is awesome. Apparently, when you're immortal, you get attracted to the crazy. What are you thinkin', Ra's?* I'm guessing Barbara's resurrection might have eased her eccentric nature, but she's still twisted as hell. * According to John Barrowman, it's "Raysh" if you mean respect; "Rahs" if you don't. At least that's how I heard it.

Teaser from the special. Please tell me I'm not the only one that will watch. This is dark as all hell, though.

I don't really need conquest. Invasion? I'd settle for exploratory negotiations. It just sucks for me that I exit most first dates thinking I made a connection, and the woman thinks otherwise. A few years ago, I went on a speed date session at New York Comic Con. No woman was interested in getting in touch with me. Sorry for the pity party of one. I had a suck day, and I'm really hoping it doesn't carry into the next four days.
