  1. If they give her her own show, I'm in. Not sure if I'm going to watch Arrow next season. Couldn't get through this last season.
  2. Also, Theler looks like a super-sized version of Chris Pratt, and we used to call him Giant Star-Lord when he was on the other show. It'd be funny (but ofc higly unlikely) if the characters were connected in the MCU. IMO, they could easily play brothers.
  3. I'm a bit worried about that, too. I was going to skip it until I saw the casting. Baby Daddy just ended and Theler was good in that, plus Vayntrub is cute and likeable, So, I'm going to give it a shot.
  4. Jason Bourne Battle of the amnesiac assassins: Jason Bourne (Bourne Identity) vs. Samantha Caine (The Long Kiss Goodnight)
  5. One of the linked articles said that he hadn't actually tested his immortality power yet, and wasn't sure about it. Which is a complete 360 from what I remember from the early GLA appearances, where he died fairly frequently.
  6. The show's supposed to be a comedy, so my guess is that everyone's the comic relief.
  7. From this article: What happened to Monkey Joe? Did they not want to explain why a squirrel was named Monkey or something? Monkey Joe seems to be a much funnier name for a squirrel, and it's a comedy. Was there a Tippy Toe in the comics, too? I don't know much about SG, and only know the one squirrel sidekick. Edit: Just watched the cartoon at the bottom of that page. Looks like Tippy Toes is part of her entourage there at least.
  8. Well, she's not rail thin like a lot of actresses and can probably do the humorous bits. I'm just wondering why they have two GLA on the team. Is the change in line up from the comics or are they acting as mentors?
  9. I almost went there earlier, but had to go to Costco before I could think of a good phrasing.
  10. Also, sorry. Screenrant annoys me sometimes and I'm mildly cranky.
  11. Couldn't get through the bad writing to find the point in that. What was it?
  12. Short article on officer's statements from that Seattle shooting. From the article: So, they're saying she went on the offensive. I still think they should have had better less lethal options available to use in the window before she went on the offense.
  13. Lies. They don't know what books are.
  14. Sorry to hear it, but just glad you're still with us. Life is a highway -- full of potholes. I hope you get past the bumpy parts soon.
  15. Yeah, Wonder Woman has launched her firmly into household name status. I think we're going to be seeing her in a lot more stuff. (Speaking of which, I still need to see that spy comedy she did with Jon Hamm.)
  16. Combining the division and the rank into the dnky little badges seemed like a stupid move.
  17. Just got back from seeing it. It's about as close to a perfect super hero movie as I've seen. Some random thoughts: The two younger versions of Diana were well cast, IMO. Diana and Steve had really good chemistry. Their romcom bits seemed pulled from a 50s movie. I liked the way they worked some of her references in: Back story of being made of clay, then reveal of real backstory (retcon in the comics), her introduction setting up her secret ID name (which was spoiled by the trailers), Steve not being able to pronounce Themyscira, so just calling the island Paradise Island in a later scene, etc. Loved Etta. Got it just right. The crossing of No Man's Land was pretty epic. It seemed like a good example of a super hero at war. I was not expecting the force she hit the bell tower with when she took out the sniper. Dr. Poison was a good pick for the time period. Super-Chemistry via divine inspiration works well and fits the setting. Ares reveal was telegraphed the second the actor walked on screen the second time. Ares speech about being the God of Truth made sense in context. He was trying to show the other gods the truth (his version of the truth, but still), and War was just the means to his end. The one weak point in it for me was that while we get to see how twisted Ares' worldview was, we didn't see much of how it got that way. I'm OK with that, because he was really there to serve as a contrast to Diana and help her form her own views and grow into her own maturity. I noticed a few little glitches, but not so much any of the historical things. Mayyybe one or two, but not enough to throw me out of the narrative. And, of course, Gal Gadot was pitch perfect as Wonder Woman, from the comedic bits, to the action bits, to the range of emotion she can show with her face and body language. And f*** that reviewer who didn't like how she delivered her dialog. It's called an accent, FFS.
  18. Regarding the uniforms, I found this article.
  19. That wasn't in the least bit fantasy. It was probably skimming on your part. I was talking about baton options, not firearms. Trust me, I used to do the job, not just play one on TV. (Thankfully, I never had to do the job as a civilian, as they have it much worse.)
