Here's a short lyrics that's been in my head ever since I heard it last year.

Oddly enough for me, Legends season 2 was the best of the CW shows this year.

The red glowy thing was the Dominator (alien invaders from the crossover) energy source they needed to power the speed bazooka. King Shark was another "defense mechanism" of Argus.

And I think we said we're doing series by each book's title, otherwise The Incarnations of Immortality by Piers Anthony really needs to be listed under I.

Just So Stories, speaking of Kipling

I'd agree with that. I've always liked "What if...." comics and unlike other usual comic book excuses they could have used to explore it (someone used a cosmic cube, shunted to an alternate universe, time travel) the 'simulation' angle makes the most sense for a show that even pretends to be grounded in reality.

I have two recommendations for the letter G, both by C.S. Lewis.
The Great Divorce is presented as a dream of a man who awakes to find himself in the suburbs of the City of Hell. Some time later, he meets some other people and learns about a bus that will take them on a day trip to Heaven. Furthermore, he is told that anyone who wants to stay in Heaven once they arrive will be allowed to do so. After arrival, he observes several of his fellow passengers and their experiences, and to his astonishment, most of them eventually get back on the bus for various reasons. The story is an interesting allegory about what Heaven really is, and the true price of admission.
A Grief Observed is a nonfictional account of Lewis' struggles with the illness and death of his wife. Taken from his journals of the period, the book chronicles his journey through anger, depression, and ultimate acceptance, all in the context of his Christian faith. He reveals so much of himself, it is both soul-rending and also life-affirming. It is perhaps the most courageous book I've ever read.
