They live in America, which is not a police state. The cops can't prevent Grundy/Gibson from going about her business, which includes moving if she wants to. Even on cop shows like Law & Order, when the cops say "Don't leave town" it's not an order that they can enforce, it's a threat "Don't leave town, cause if you try to we might think you're trying to flee, and innocent people don't flee." If anyone actually did try to leave town they couldn't do anything to stop them, unless they were willing and able to arrest them.

Atlantis is super insular and most Atlanteans distrust outsiders to an extreme degree. So much so that their own King (Aquaman) is under frequent scrutiny due to being half human. Atlanteans living on the surface would be exceedingly rare. As to the race thing I believe black Atlanteans are also pretty rare.

There were actually 2 Olympians. Aristides Demetrios was the first Olympian, and a founding member of the Global Guardians, he gained his Shazam-esque powers from the mythical Golden Fleece. Achilles Warkiller was the second Olympian, he was a demigod created by Zeus when he became displeased with the Amazons. He later became a member of the Outsiders. I believe Achilles is the Olympian that Powerless is adapting, his costume matches with the one seen on the show, and also the new guy's name is Alex. If Achilles was going to take a low key American name, it would obviously be Alex. Bad news for Jackie if it turns out Alex is the Olympian, cause Achilles Warkiller is gay, and has a boyfriend (Patroclus.)

The characters actually are starting to grow on me after this one, even Emily, although she could do with a little toning down. I am a little annoyed with how they just seem to be madlibbing the DCU in the fantasy broadcast in this one though. I mean why is Sinestro fighting the Flash? How the hell did he gain access to the Phantom Zone? Superman has got to be concerned with that. It honestly felt like the line was "Flash was attacked by {insert random villain here} with {insert random incapacitation here}" Cmon Powerless, Flash has his own Rogues Gallery, and he regularly gets trapped in time, or the Speed Force. Try to stay in your lane. But it was definitely an improvement over the pilot, so I'm willing to give it the 4 episode test.

Also one that makes no sense. Jughead has clear interactions with people other then Archie. Archie's dad asks him if he's staying for dinner, Reggie accuses him of murder, Betty asks if BOTH of them want to join her and Veronica, Veronica comments on his unique name. Is Archie imagining his dad and friends interacting with his imaginary friend? And if that's the case how can we assume anyone is real? Maybe EVERYONE is a figment of Archie Westphall's special mind.

I would still expect Hermione to give Veronica a talking to about it. Mani-Pedis at the local spa is one thing, but flying in cupcakes from NYC is not exactly being discrete about your secret stash of funds.

My school had a student council lounge. It's intended purpose was so student council could plan events after school. But we'd frequently just use it as a hangout during lunch or if we had a free period. Of course it wasn't as nice as Riverdale High's lounge, but we had couches, a mini fridge and even a little TV with a SNES (later N64). Also of course it was only large enough to accommodate the 10 or so members of student council.

In the comics Jughead's real name is Forsythe Pendleton Jones III (his dad being Forsythe Pendleton Jones II) He doesn't like the name though because the first Forsythe Pendleton Jones was a notorious womanizer who had the distinction of being married 9 times. Asexual Jughead no doubt would've wanted to avoid the footsteps of the first Forsythe Pendleton Jones.

There were some minor recurring characters who did live in Riverdale. There were three Hispanic characters: Frankie Valdez, Maria Rodriguez (who had a dad who was Weatherbee's Asst Principal), and Ginger Lopez. There was one Indian character: Raj Patel There was one Japanese character: Tomoko Yoshida (I didn't even remember her name, had to look it up, because she appeared so rarely) But yeah for the most part Riverdale is a Caucasian town.

He can't go back 30 minutes and try again, because then there would be two Wyatts and two Rufuses (Rufi?) existing in the same time. Suppose, they show up at 1:30 discover the plane landed early and then go back to 1:00. When 1:30 rolls around again there would be two of each of them (the two that showed up at 1:30 and the two more that showed up at 1:00 and let half an hour pass.) They've already said they can't visit a time where they already exist, that includes the time traveller versions of themselves, not just their past selves. It's the same reason why they can't just go back to the Hindenburg crash (or any of their previous trips) and save Lucy's step-dad to get her sister back (or fix history, or try again to catch Flynn), they were all present in that time.

Rosa: We have to do our stupid jobs, don't we?! Boyle: Yeah, let me get my stupid gun! ____ Rosa: NYPD! Get down on the comfortable matted floor! Boyle: Put your magical hands where we can see them! Rosa: You're under arrest for ruining something perfect!! Boyle: (whispering) and money laundering Rosa: Yes! Money laundering! Whatever!

Please. Arnold's catchphrase when he cans someone is totally gonna be "Get Out!"

Actually in Texas (and Georgia) there is no fine or any punishment at all for being a faithless elector.

Timeless is my show tonight. In this fucked up present it's nice to think about the possibility of changing the past. Tonight: What if Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin never landed on the moon?

We also saw Bernard (or a shadow that looked very much like him) collapse to the ground. It's nice to think he may have found a way around Ford's command, but it seems super likely that he shot himself in the head. Of course, he's a freaking robot, so shooting himself in the head is hardly an end impossible to come back from.

Just watched it again, can't get enough of Pimento's work fantasies "I guess I could be a teacher.... Sorry Travis the answer is obviously Istanbul-- What did you say to me?! No! Maybe YOU'RE wasting YOUR life!! Sorry Principal Reynolds I didn't see you there. Wait, Travis is YOUR son?! Ha ha, well I guess you're just gonna have to fire me. FIRED?! ME!?! How dare you sir! We will settle --- see it just wouldn't work." ---------- "Ooo PI huh? I like that... Hello Mr. Branville, I found out where your wife's been going at night. Have a seat you're not gonna like this. She's cheating on you. What do you mean you knew that already? YOU killed her? And are framing ME for the murder?! I just left my prints all over the crime scene! OH you are an evil gen--- This. This I could get on board for."

This is an interesting idea. I wonder how much of a market there would be in ratings fraud. For instance in this day and age you can pay someone to play a video game for you, essentially them doing the clicks you are too bored to do. Could you pay a guy to just keep giving you 5's, essentially doing the same thing (clicking things on his phone)? How many 5's are you allowed to give someone per day? Would some kind of authority police this? Law and Order: Ratings Fraud Unit -- CHUM CHUM!

Come on Wire Fox Terrier! Come on baby!

It does say Selina meets an unexpected face. If that doesn't scream surprise return I'll eat my cowl.

You mean the one who killed the Whispers? I'd assume he's working for the Court of Owls. In the comics the Court has agents they call Talons to do their bidding.

It all has to do with how deep a small market team can afford to be. A team like the Yanks, Red Sox, or Dodgers would absolutely keep both Lawson and Duarte and let Duarte develop as Lawson's backup, both staying competitive this year and also looking towards the future and developing their next catcher. The Yanks and BoSox also could swap Lawson in at DH for some games to extend his career and keep his bat in the lineup, while giving Duarte exposure at catcher. A smaller market team like the Padres though may not think it can afford to keep both, if they are confident Duarte will be their starting catcher next year, it makes more sense for them to move Lawson (who is on an expiring contract?) for prospects that can help them, instead of letting him walk for nothing, or signing him to a contract extension when they already have a guy they like at catcher. Conversely a team that is right in the thick of the playoff hunt but a little anemic on offense would value a bat like Lawson a lot, and would be willing to sell their future (prospects) for a few months and a playoff run with him.

Ginny honestly probably didn't have a ton of money before. When she was in AAA or AA she was probably making just enough to get by. And remember Amelia was very careful about not letting her sign any long term endorsements when she was in the minors with the fear that she'd be held to those deals in the majors. Even now she's just a rookie, who's played under a season making the league minimum. The majority of the money she has now probably is from that endorsement deal with Nike. And she just signed that deal very recently. It makes sense that Amelia has been floating Ginny (and her brother) with her own money in hopes of a big pay day (like the Nike deal or a multi million contract when she hits free agency), it also makes sense that now is the time the brother would come to see her with his hand out, her new endorsement deal with Nike means she has a LOT of money to potentially help him.

The MLB has 2 deadlines, and neither of them actually prevent trades. July 31st is the non waiver trade deadline. Trades completed before this deadline can be done without putting the player on waivers. This makes trades much easier to complete. Aug 31st is the waiver trade deadline. This is the deadline to acquire players to participate in a potential post season run. Trades can still be completed after the waiver trade deadline too, but any player acquired is ineligible for the postseason, he however may play in all regular season games.

OMG. How ridiculous would a Ye Presidency be? He'd wear Adidas track suits to state dinners. The State of the Union would be a hot track he dropped, and would probably debut on the billboard top 100. Kim Kardashian would be the First Freaking Lady. Truly terrifying that it's a viable possibility. Even more terrifying that a part of me desperately wants it to happen.

Wait is this really a thing? I literally cannot wait for "I'm with Yeezus" election swag.
