That was my reaction as well way back in the day. Don't know how Disney didn't sue Toriyama. While I'm thinking about it . . . does Babidi resemble a scrotum to anybody else? Specifically, Piccolo's scrotum? If he had one, I mean.

Great episode. Mr. Satan does what he does best: lie to the public to cover up for Goku. This time, he brags about he fought Beavis the Destroyer. No, high amounts of sugar were not involved. Also, he got bright blonde hair from the power-up. And then, actual aliens arrived to meet the guy that defeated Lord Beerus. Normally, I roll my eyes when I see Mr. Satan/Hercule, but I had a good laugh at the comedy of errors.

I like Bill. Really, I do. But is she going to constantly ask questions? If people started a drinking game based on that, fatalities would run into the tens of thousands, minimum. What was the name of the robots? I might get a sketch on those guys. Nice concept, cute waddling. Better execution (no pun intended) than the Smilers. Kida wish the Doctor wore buttons. He could sport the "heavy thinking" emoji. Kinda looks like him, too. Anybody get a Red Dwarf vibe from the first bit? "They're all dead, Dave . . ."

Bumping up for the show's return tonight, with "Supper." That is not a good sign with this anime. ETA: They're going willy-nilly with the manga timeline. Remember in the Cartoon/Anime thread, when I asked if the giant griddle would be involved? Well, it isn't. Grisly shit, but it could have been so much worse here. Also: there is NO way in hell that the Connoisseur didn't sprout wood sniffing his stained handkerchief.

I think Veronica is at her best when her life is threatened. Like Amaya laying her out in Challenge 2000. Or Psycho Julie tugging on her safety line. Or Katie coming close to strangling her. Hate her. Hated seeing the preview for Inferno II with Rachel, smirking about Sarah's illicit romance with Theo. In my mind, those two probably didn't go that far, and Rachel and Veronica probably took hits off Abram's skin bong. How were those bitches so much better? I know, Sarah is probably way over that, but I can't jump that hurdle.

A lot of them are on Facebook. I referred to Michael as "Red Rupert" on Thursday, and he got a kick out of that. I miss TARCon to pieces, but it's nice to meet Racers online. ETA: From last week: Phil on why TAR is more important than ever. ETA2: It's raining TARticles!! Here's a "Where Are They Now?" piece on past winners from MSN. Dana & Matt did not get a happy ending.

Latest episode: So. Much. Emphasis on kanji. I know, can't be avoided, but dang. At least we know Naruto is literate. If somebody at the Ninja Academy (or whatever) had a learning disability, how would they know? Anyway, Yoda Toad (Toada?) takes Naruto to his kingdom for the Sage Training that Jiraiya-chan got all those years ago.

Finally got around to the latest episode. It's a shame Jack lost the outfit. I mean, not as big a shame as thinking hundreds of alien babies dropped dead around him, but still a bit sad. ETA: Ashi was naked the whole time. At this point, why not? And charred skin can be cleansed with a few hours' worth of scrubbing. In other news, you can say " penis" on this show. Jarring, yet funny.

Two things I noticed: 1. According to SBP, this is the cast. Apparently, they departed a few days ago. I'm thinking there might be a few hiccups, but this might be it. 2. There's nobody from Bad Blood. Works for me. Seriously, Tyara could show up with a Whitney Gilbert accent, and I'd barely care. Mike and Pete can come in for the express purpose of beating the shit out of each other before TJ does his intro spiel, and nobody would give a shit. "Look, the psycho is wailing on the tattooed psycho. When are we gonna get to the pad?" Also, I'd like to lock Camila in a room with Abi-Maria from Survivor in order to determine who's the most psycho Brazilian.

Found this on Facebook . . . how Saitama can actually punch away the rain.

In the context of the show, I don't know if Mike would make the top ten in that category. I mean, he was a bit of a psycho in The Australian Outback and killed a piglet, but then he got burned really bad. When he came back, he found so many different ways to get injured. But throw in the "other" stuff? Yeah, he sucks. He probably sent a "I'm off the hook! THANKS!!!!" e-mail to Jeff Varner . . . assuming he could get online, I mean.

I like the idea, but isn't the whole thing centered on a sentient Cosmic Cube screwing things up royally? I think the idea of Cap-as-main-villain works because nobody there would see it coming. ETA: Inhumans miniseries to come with two-page Lockjaw stories. Well, he is the cuddliest Inhuman . . . at least before Ms. Marvel and Moon Girl.

@peachmangosteen posted this on Cirie's thread, and now I'm sad again, because I really wanted Sandra and Cirie on the same tribe. Would they have worked together to dominate the game, or would they have turned on each other instantly?

TAR didn't work that well on Sundays, though you could probably blame the sports-caused delays for that. On another network, the show would've run at 8. On CBS, they had to broadcast all of 60 Minutes, which I understand completely. It was just frustrating to get to TARCon at 7, see that the Packers were annihilating the Raiders, and that the fourth quarter was just getting started. I'm guessing Friday nights weren't a good fit, either, since CBS decided to go to the Show Cemetery and dig up MacGyver. Of course, that worked out well for CBS, as did sitcoms with Kevin James and Matt Le Blanc. Once again: given that Survivor is hit-or-miss with recycled players and locales, and Big Brother is still Big Brother, I would be very upset if TAR walks the plank. I know CBS is promoting it, and I'm still pissed that ABC didn't do that for The Mole, but I'm still ready to throttle somebody.

Good, good. All I need is a GIF of Female Titan swinging some poor schmuck like a watch on the end of a chain. For those that can't wait, here are the opening credits from Funimation's YouTube page. I know, not as epic as the original.

Only thing that was missing? "Shamir, why are you on top?!?" WHOOSH!!! "NOT AGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAINN!!!!!" Four teams out, and they all had cute hashtaggable nicknames, as opposed to "Team Name & Name." Should we read into that?

In case you haven't heard: "Orb" premieres tomorrow night at 7:45. Next Monday-Thursday: "Elements," an eight-part story airing from 7:30-8.

In case you haven't heard, the second season of Attack on Titan starts airing at 12:30 a.m. on Toonami. Since there wasn't much activity on the individual episode threads, I'm setting up an all-purpose thread for talk on the show. What happened at the end of last season? All I remember is that there was a Titan in the damn wall. Metaphorical or actual?

This was not a good 120 minutes. Poor choices, poor leg design, poor just about everything. Only real winners are Becca & Floyd. And Phil. And Sara. At least Shamir is out. He's probably a nice guy, but he was the second-most negative person in the game. And he probably would've killed himself if he lasted three more legs. Who won the legs? Tara & Joey? I can't retain names this season? They seem nice. They didn't slam into the ground at Mach 3 like Liz & Michael. Aside from getting a laugh at "magic paper," they were not fun to watch. If you do everything right on a Fast Forward, and you're in the lead when you go for it, you should win the leg. I know, not guaranteed, and there was no prize at the end, but I feel a little bad for Team Fun. At least Becca didn't try to murder Floyd with the Fun Meter. Progress? With Shamir gone, Brooke is the biggest pain. Like watching Flo all over again. Then again, Flo would've made Zach make the ladle. The judges probably went "fuck it" and given her the clue. Trolls or Starfire's relatives? I liked the rhymes, though.

Indeed. Two one-hour episodes, and the second one is starting up now.

Lots going on in Chicago. Just found out Priest will be writing an Inhumans miniseries. Phil Noto will be the artist.

I meant that he's a decade older, give or take a few years. I am happy that he got that far, though.

I meant that this particular episode might not have been shot first, and that the producers thought we needed the shock ousting of Party Time right away. I'm probably wrong about that.

I like this tweet from the Stop Being Polite guy: "Laurel has lost to Camila. Camila has lost to Devyn. By the transitive property @DevynSimone is the best female ever. #TheChallengeInvasion" I know, that's the one where Big Easy gave up on Camila and risked his life by incurring her wrath, but it's still funny to think of Devyn in G.O.A.T. terms.

SBP updates the list. Usual favorites, toolbags, and non-entities. Jordan has not learned to be happy with outlasting Johnny twice in one season, and he might be coming back. Ditto Derrick "Wee Dee" Kosinski, though he was supposed to come out of retirement this season. And Chris from GBOGH is still in there, even though he's got a gig as a cuddler. Long story, but at least Dylan's name is not here. But the mindblowing rumored name: Veronica. Yes . . . from Semester at Sea. In 1999, which is almost reality television prehistory. I would've thought her experience on The Ruins would have kept her away, between getting hit by Tonya and getting eliminated midway through. I'd rather see Susie come back, if only to kick Johnny in the dick on Sarah's behalf. Veronica. Fucking hell. I mean, at least it's not Beth, but damn.
