Lantern7

Man, Liz & Michael have more lives than the hippies. Great that Michael got frustrated but didn't take it out on his partner. I could've gotten an hour's head start on Liz, and she still would have beaten me. I would be better off huffing the paint. Not that I do that, of course. Shut up, Brooke. Shut up, Brooke. Puhleeeeeeeeze shut up, Brooke. Even if she and Scott win, I'd be okay with raising money for Scott's mental damage. Team Fun were so cute as gondoliers. Or are those the guys that steer the boat? Also funny seeing the folks that chose that a Detour wearing the gear to the end. Reading posts . . . totally forgot about TAR4. Chris & Amanda, right? I'm on my iPad now, and I'd lose this post if I checked. Went from first to eliminated, andi Chris posted on TWoP as "VenicesBitch." ETA: Who had the title quote?

Cartoon Network is running episodes again. Last week had the Luthor/Circe teamup. Because this is centered for the kids and thus humorous, a magi artifact gives Lex power and great hair on his head and face. I noticed that my cable system has episodes "On Demand," including stuff not aired on CN. I checked out "Rage Of The Red Lanterns"

Caught the episode. Did not think that anybody would be turning into Titans in Connie's village, so I must be dumb. Or maybe I don't car that hard about this series. I mean, it's good and not all misery porn like The Walking Dead, but I only can retain a few names. I'll have to start a book thread. There was an anthology from American creators last year with humorous bits. One of them had the cadets ordered to bite down on their hands to show they're not undercover Titans, and Sasha wanted to know if she could swallow. Apparently, she's a "live off the land" girl whom others may think is inbred and/or stupid.

Heads up: Phil is doing a Facebook thing live right now.

Funny115: Focusing on the Joe/Vince "feud." Apparently, Vince will get another entry all his own down the line. Also: cheap shot at Nina's deafness.

Fun episode. Didn't think Jamie Rahn would kick that much ass getting Superhero Squad (I guess "The Rahn-Aways" wasn't a keeper) to the final. But The Think Tank (led by Noah Kaufman) wound up winning after a double splash-down, leading to a duel between Jamie and Matt Wilder, who was on fire throughout the episode, pulling his team to the win. Jessie Graff's G-Force did okay, but the captain wound up losing her first run of the episode, getting shocked by Kirsti Pratt of Average Jojo's (JoJo Bynum). The Ring of Fire continues to be a bitch of an obstacle, though the Bar Hop got beaten by ninjas insisted on the long dismount. Thank goodness for the mats . . . but I figure that the possibility of injury is still there even with those in play. ETA: According to a recap of the latest episode, we'll be getting Lab Rats (captain: Chris Wilczewski; accompanied by brother Brian and Michelle Warnky) next week, along with Team Grit (Kevin Bull, with Spartan teammate/TNW1 flameout Lance Pekus), The Iron Grip (Daniel Gil) and Phoenix Force (Najee Richardson, not afraid of getting Marvel Comics' lawyers riled up).

@Maharincess . . . back in RW: Ex-Plosion, Ashley was hammered. Like, a lot. Hence, "Smashley." And she is perhaps the most detestable woman in the game. "Thank you, Challenge gods! Once again, you deem it necessary to flummox that lummox Nicole with your simple puzzles that a drunk with an IQ of 80 can solve. Like me!" Seriously, if it turns out Nicole's move is the difference between Smashley getting second and third-place money, I would be content with that.

Are we halfway through this season? It's been interesting so far. And fun. We got to see Trinette again! I knew we'd get Dutch/Other Dutch! I'm thinking that was a thing before his appointment with Krieger. And Archer got to hook up with Lana! Of course, he isn't a sex god like Sterling, so he disappointed yet again. At least Lama tried to get in on the fun, for all the good it did her.

Darn iPad was giving me grief. Might've felt that I didn't outright hate William and wanted me to keep that to myself. At worst, he's a reminder of how ruthless Moira could be and that Oliver didn't always try to be a good guy once upon a time. Ollie and Felicity hooking up? That was a mistake. It was hot, though. So, so, so hot. Only way it could've been better is if they tried to work the salmon ladder into the fun. Damn, aside from Curtis buffing it earlier this season, where has that been? And WTF is Thea? My theory: interdimensional trysts with James Olsen. Come on, that would explain a lot.

Another episode. It's been fun, but aside from Sandra's ouster and the revelation about Zeke, I don't think this season will be remembered. Big moves, sure, but no real heroes or villains . . . not even Brad. As much as I like the puzzles, maybe the players should get an alternative to trying to draw power out of exhausted brain cells. Or maybe Probst should force teams to swap out puzzle solvers every ten minutes. Why was Michaela crying? Didn't she vote for Zeke? Might be a guilt thing.

Quick heads-up: tomorrow is May 4, traditionally pronounced "May Fourth," as in "May the Fourth Be With You." Tomorrow night, AS will run the final Family Guy parody of Star Wars, followed by all three specials from Robot Chicken. Also, Mike Tyson Mysteries returns on May 14. There's a forum there, and I could use the conversation.

That was something. Not getting Aida/Ophelia (Aidphelia?) teleporting with Fitz, but I can roll with it. So she has powers of Inhumans killed in the Framework? What, is she basically Shang Tsung or Mega Man? Poor Mack. Really want him back, even if he winds up naming his main weapon "Hope." I mean, that is his baby, right? Also, I kept wanting Mack and Daisy to say "upper-case Hope" and "lower-case hope," because the show isn't afraid to be that obvious.

Smashley? I got your "Challenge gods" right here. I keep forgetting how heinous she can be. I'd rather Camila win, and I feel she lucked into her only Challenge victory. Still pulling for Nicole, even though she and Corey botched the first leg. Gotta be humiliating to have a producer half-heartedly wave them through. At least they won the Time Buster. Kept expecting Corey to compare the coconut milk to his "specimen" he produced over his career. Man, Corey is an albatross. Had to laugh at him and Camila screwing up the Hanoi Tower puzzle. Still pulling for CT and Nicole. Still hating that BMP loves cumulative finales, because it's so easy to fudge the results for the "perfect" ending. ETA: Anybody think that Smashley would be talking all sorts of shit about Nicole if she knew that Nicole would become a police officer and have access to weapons? I think Smashley would, because she's that stupid.

"Have you guys been busy?" "Yep. But how was Earth-3, Wally?" "Nice. Jesse says 'hi.' Weirdest thing . . . their Wally West is also Kid Flash, but he's white!" The reveal was telegraphed. Aside from Thrawne, whom Caitlin would've recognized had he still looked like Wells-1, who else could it be but Future Flash? As opposed to "future, Flash." Kinda hoping Barritar runs in a blue suit, because DC did a similar story a few years ago. Joe's plot was there, though it would've been hard to explain to Ceclie (I'm not close, am I?) about how his two sons are speedsters, and that there's a death sentence hanging over his daughter. On the bright side, she's good with the team destroying evidence to protect Caitlin. Had Savitar been revealed to be Singh, I would've bought that. Julian? So gonna die. At least he bonded with Cisco.

Heads up . . . MTV will rerun the Johnny special after tonight's episode of The Challenge. Just letting you know in case you want to miss it on purpose.

Would that happen if his pilot is picked up? I mean, I want Glenn to evolve beyond being America's favorite sociopath, but I'd rather have new IASIP. I'd be good for recasting Dennis. Ten episodes? Ten Dennises. Dennisi? Have fun with it if the show needs to go on.

I heard that the Mets were putting Syndergaard on the 10-day disabled list. Apparently, that was optimistic. Daily News is wondering if the Mets should go looking for pitchers on the market. Given how fragile those guys are, that might not be a bad idea.

Okay episode, thought Kara vs. Maggie was a bit much. And then you bring in Mon for the pizza scene . . . couldn't Kara keep him in a closet when company comes? "Who knows my secret? Let's see . . . there are my foster parents, Lena's mom*, everybody at the DEO . . ." "OHMIGAWD! That's why Kara Danvers and Supergirl were never seen together!!!" "Crap, who didn't tell Maggie from Accounts Receivable?" I liked the Lena/Rhea scenes. Of course, Lena isn't stupid, and she probably would have put two and two together even if Rhea didn't blurt out "thank the gods." But she's working with her on what I'm assuming is the macguffin for the season finale.. I'm hoping Lena doesn't follow her brother, and not for more homoerotic scenes with Kara. Been there/done that with Smallville. *I think that was what she said. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Welcome to Gotham, whet the batshit insanity never ends! Even without the full cast, there's still enough fun for everybody. Awwwwww . . . Oswald has a new friend in ivy. Natch, she's the tween in the adult body with plant-based mojo, but you gotta start somewhere. No big loss in poor man's Butch Gabe and his friends. Have we ever seen Jim happy? And except for Harvey, is anybody happy to see Jim? Everywhere he goes, people want him to die for starters. I know he's not that sympathetic, but it's gotta wear on a guy. Is the old man supposed to be anybody in particular? In other news . . . it's been almost three years, and Bruce has grown. Does being orphaned lead to spurts? I know the owl masks from the comics would be problematic to wear, but I don't think I like the alternative. Kept waiting for the orgy once the meeting was adjourned.

I heard Thor was going to be out for at least a week and a half. Oh, and Noah Syndergaard hair hat day is on Saturday. Maybe Sandy and/or Terry should force him to clip the mane? Hey, Chris Hemsworth did it for Thor: Ragnarok.

Good one. Found this on Facebook. It's based off the cover of Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21, which was the Peter/Mary Jane wedding issue. You think Danny's inclusion was in poor taste?

Twenty-three runs. And Rendon drove in ten. Is it wrong to suggest that Terry Collins might be placed on suicide watch? I mean, if he gets ejected, somebody would have to join him in the clubhouse to make sure he's okay.

That was fun. Weird, but fun. I have no clue where the characters go from here. Of course, the most startling thing is that Lumpy Space Princess saved Ooo. Lumpy. Space. Princess. Oh, and Jake is seemingly mutated by being inside Elemental Slime Princess, but LSP? Damn.

This week: Vegeta finds out Whis was/is Beerus's mentor, and he basically embarrasses himself to be taken under his delightful wing. Also: Krillin wants to feel Goku's power. That involves taking a punch. And it goes as well as you'd think. Miraculously, Krillin lives through the experience.

I got Facebook. I belong to a Challenge-based group. Anyway, I found this. In case you can't access the link, it's a fan on Twitter asking Beth when she'll do another Challenge. This is her response: If you know me, you'll probably guess what my reaction was. Here's a hint: finding out she has two kids is a less horrifying notion.
