Heads up: have yourself a very Jojo Christmas with a marathon on Christmas Eve. "TINSEL RED & GREEN OVERDRIVE!!!!!"

Bad news: We're going to run out of IBO episodes soon. Good news: Toonami has us covered. for 2017.

This is all I have at the moment. (Westworld) ETA: Oops . . . I had one more in me. (Survivor; here's the Tribal Council)

Not caring about the show. I'm good with Mike becoming a pariah and not getting Challenge invites because . . . dude, look at him. Look at him. He's a creepy motherfucker even if you don't find out that he joined the Aryans to avoid getting raped. Does that explain the tattoos?

Do you watch Legends? Ray is 40 percent cheese. If the team had to go undercover in Switzerland, Mick would try to shoot holes in him.

Is Stephen Hawking an American? I fear that he might be deemed irrelevant as Somebody Who's Too Damn Smart For His Own Good. I have the same concern about Neil deGrasse Tyson. He probably has a spaceship buried underneath the Hayden Planetarium, so I shouldn't be too worried.

That was fun. Cisco gets to play god like Barry. Firestorm breaks out the transmutation powers that he/they only used once before. Sara and Mick get to "admire" the new president aka Not Lynda Carter. And Mick gets to set aliens on fire. While I think the story may have gotten too much hype, and that Supergirl wasn't that necessary to the plot, I liked the four-night event. I'm okay with more crossovers, even if the stage threatens to buckle from the weight. Fans will probably get fanfic on background stuff as soon as tonight. I'm probably going to refer to Lily as "Hope" from now on. Had a good laugh at Jax bringing up "pound town" to Martin. So inappropriate. Awwww, I liked them. So adorable. And if one can ship Barry & Kara, then why not Cislicity? And they bailed out the newbies and Mick! So funny.

Read that Logan Verett was dealt to the Orioles for cash. I hope he evolves past being an emergency starter. Still wondering which of the Mets' young guns will be moved.

I see Hillary as Steve Martin's character in the episode of The Simpsons where Homer gets elected chief of the sanitation department and screws it up royally. Steve comes on stage to the Sanford & Son theme, tells the city they're fucked, and walks out. Apologies for not adding much to the discussion. That . . . person and what he represents brings out the worst in me. After spending a season watching The Challenge and waiting for anvils to fall on "Johnny Bananas" that never came, recent events have been an eye-opener. The dirtbag would win an unprecedented seventh time in the upcoming season (he never goes away), and I wouldn't get the agita I felt three weeks ago, even if he scumbags it up from start to finish.

Still thinking . . . I'm reminded of the trailer for Spaceballs, where "SPACE" fills the screen. Enter Mel Brooks. "WHERE ARE THE BALLS?!?" And that's what I'm feeling about the Republicans. As much as I don't want to scapegoat people, I am fully prepared to send Jill Stein to the Phantom Zone. Ralph Nader could use the company.

Four dogs and a cat for me right now. From the Pugdashians' account: Tilly deals with Santa, a glass door, lessons and uncomfortable headgear. ETA: From House Of Bulldogs . . . Porkchop hates getting clean, Logan loves lying on his back, and the gang loves attacking their uncle.

Forgot about Priest Maxie. Where has that guy been hiding? He was sketchy, but at least he wanted to fight the actions of his fellow priests.

And they went past 11:31. I feel bad for people who don't care about the show and DVRed @Midnight. Isn't that what the website is for . . . Trevor trying not to scream or laugh, holding onto the desk as the roller coaster ride continued indefinitely?

I forgot that McCain was a good team player in 2004 for Dubya, after Team Dubya dragged his name through the mud four years earlier. If somebody's people suggested that I had a mixed-race out-of-wedlock child to people who wouldn't cotton to such a revelation? I would shake that man's hand. Hard. "Nice to see ya, Johnny. Heckuva grip ya got- . . .. AHHHHHHH!!!! MOMMY!!!!!" DICCCCCCCKK!!!!!" I'd link the "Fun With Real Audio" skit from SNL, but it's not available where I am on YouTube.

It could have been worse. The holograms could have been joined by Malcolm imploring Oliver to die. Then he'd wake up looking like Colin Baker.

Watched Trevor Noah skewer Mitt Romney tonight. Okay . . . I am a registered Democrat, but I know there's probably not much difference between the parties. Rooting for sports teams makes more sense these days, even as free agency makes us take sides based on laundry (thanks, Jerry Seinfeld!) I know Democrats can be bad and Republicans can be good. It's just . . . why the fuck are all these people jumping on board the president-elect's train, after they talked epic smack about him months ago? Ted Cruz tried to take a stand at the convention, and he wound up campaigning for him. Mitt Romney questioned the bastard's integrity, and that guy suggested that Mitt would get down on his knees to get the endorsement, and prayer wasn't implied. Former reality "star" Congressman Sean Duffy spoke at the convention with his wife (best known as "the Puck Kisser"), then I saw a clip on him on Last Week Tonight after the hidden tape had been broken out, remembering he had five daughters . . . and I expect him to switch stances to get a better position in Washington. How did all these people lose their balls? It would be like watching Bernie kiss the rings of Wall Street bigshots had Hillary won. Am I out of line for thinking the worst of a party that would hitch their wagons to a deranged horse merely to stick it to their adversaries? Sorry. Had to get that off my chest. I can understand people like Newt and Ghouliani getting power positions because they don't really have images to maintain. But I'm not seeing many on the right keeping their sanity. There's John McCain, but he's probably got a secret house in the Caymans to wait out the fallout.

Wow. If that had been me hosting, they would have shown "Tomi" ranting, then the camera would cut to me, with blood coming out of my eyes, ears and nose. And I'm white. And wow, when was the last time a TDS audience turned on a guest? I don't think Bill O"Reilly ever got booed during his jousts with Jon. If the preshow comic promised the crowd money for being on their best non-partisan behavior, they did not collect. And thanks, Jordan, for bringing up my concern that Trevor might not be around in a few months. Even as a joke, it feels too close to home.

Bright side: no mandatory Five Years Ago flashbacks. Better than last year, but it boils down to this these days: "Bratva Bratva." "Bratva?" "Bratva Bratva. Bratva Bratva!! Bratva!" "I will break you." At least any Wild Dog fans out there have Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye.

Bang? Whimper? No. Rick Roll. Gotta say, I did not see that coming. Really hoping Sheila doesn't die from pure rage. She shouldn't suffer because she married an asshole troll. Surprised she didn't go full New Jersey on us. Man, when was the last time we saw Mr. Slave? And nice to see Garrison easily manipulated. Still wondering how he gets to start a war. I mean. I get how this show is a funhouse mirror reflection of reality, but I'd expect a few rules to remain in place. Still expecting the last two seasons to be a fever dream. Still expecting Garrison to find Patrick Duffy in the shower. Still expecting Patrick Duffy to be attached to Scuzzlebutt. But damn, Matt and Trey know how to make things interesting. ETA: The Member Berries would also be a dream. That explains why we didn't see them rocking the White House this week.

Nice work juggling the milestone and the epic crossover. Laurel wasn't a drag. Not like I want to see Katie as Black Siren anytime soon, but she was decent here. Cisco/Curtis/Felicity for the win. It's a shame Ray couldn't geek out with them, but he was fighting off memories of Kevin Spacey in the Dominmatrix. I feel bad for Renee. He and Diggle could be related, with their disdain of metas. Still thinking Barry/Kara could totally work. We could give Cisco to Iris. Sweet that Sara is a badass no matter where you stick her. I know that wasn't really Slade, but she kicked his ass good. And she got to smack Dark around. And she caught an arrow shot from Thea. Are we sure she's not from Krypton? I mean, she has more or less come back from the dead three times. Hi, Malcolm! Still a douchebag? That's nice. ETA: Back in the first season, I suggested Diggle could take Oliver's place if Stephen left the show. Funny how things worked out tonight.

Totally expected Will to go out. He made such a big deal about putting on the big boy pants, and I kept seeing vultures following him clutching knifes and forks. But no, it was Zeke gettin put out, with Adam unneccesarily burning his idol for Hannah. I don't hate Zeke, but I'd take David over him. I hate the frequent endurance challenges. Like Burnett bought those in bulk. Man, hard not to feel for Adam. I'm thinking the last thing his mother told him before he left was, "Whatever you do, don't quit for me. That's a punk move, and I know you're not a Jenna." I lost track. How did Ken almost blow the game?

I did like the part with Huckster making his pitch, and Cisco was lightly banging his head on the table. I knows he's way too pissy these days, but that was funny.

I feel bad for Diggle. He's the rock of Arrow, where he only has the code name and helmet to fit in with Oliver's friends. And then comes Barry. And the Legends. And Supergirl. The rock winds up crumbling, and that's before finding out his son was originally a girl. If he hits up Lyla for industrial strength drugs after this story, I would not blame him one bit. He has a lot of catching up to do.

Picked up the Third Doctor's third issue. Pretty epic. The Master unmasks yet again and fights the Doctor, and the last few pages have a neat swerve related to a Sixties story.

Sad, right? The secretary of state of an out-of-touch millionaire is going to be . . . an out-of-touch billionaire who actually got sunk by a hidden tape. Well, it's either him or Ghouliani. Maybe he figures that he can steer the boat away from the iceberg. If it wasn't for term limits, would Obama have won? When you think about it, would he have triumphed over Dubya in 2008? It's a bit sad that the competition we got for Washington was Mitt, McCain, and Alan Keyes.
