Friends of mine once got ahold of the original Star Wars script and muted Willow and read the script along with it. It matched up way to well.

an hour late? heck, sometimes if its on time.

It was sad that the best chemistry seemed to be Kate and Alice. If they change characters and lose Alice (Rachel Skarsten) it would be sad. She has been excellent and has brought an amazing ongoing foil. I thought the actress has done a great job of being a broken woman identifying with Alice in Wonderland. Would have loved to see her play off a Mad Hatter, who is always looking for Alice.

Does anyone elses toes hurt thinking about wearing those?

Now doing the real Cassandra Cain stepping in to be Batwoman would be interesting. And I thought of where would this leave Alice too, as she has been, perhaps, the best part of the show. Part of my thought on doing the Torres girl is they could almost do a Batwoman Beyond and have Luke create a powered suit, not like Batwing, but closer to the Batman Beyond suit and with her computer skills added to his, maybe come up with the programming. This character sounds more like the movie version of Cassandra, which wasn't Cassandra.

Can't say I like the description of the character. I would rather they have had the hacker girl = Parker Torres - or actually recast the character.

So your saying "What we need is a Montage" - Team America World Police

Hmm, makes me wonder if Martin based Ned Stark on him, who had the stupidest death based on trusting people to be as noble and honorable as him despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Ah. I had thought was something being released immediately. My mistake.

I agree. It is the one I like the most too, though I enjoy WW and Aquaman. I like the human elements of JL, which I would wager Joss brought. Bruce telling Alfred he wants Clark back because he can bring the others together because he is more human (which I think Snyder gets Bats, but not supes). The opening when they do the montage of people around the world missing Clark along with the little interview by the kids, which Joss added. All the little humorous parts (I would be curious who put in Flash looking at Gordon and saying "wow, so they do that, that's rude" then running off). My problem with that article is that the author at Comicbook.com represented that comic FANS liked Snyder's vision. I have yet to hear a single fan say that they were upset they brought Wedon in to try to fix the movie and that they all thought Snyder's doom and gloom (for all I know, in his version Steppenwolf won). On a side, has anyone seen the Snyder release? did he cut out all the Whedon parts and put his back in?

Ok, I would love to see Cavil get a real shot at playing Superman/Clark. On the other hand, did anyone read that article? It can be summed up in this quote: Snyder originally planned for the actor to pop up in the second Justice League movie, but the plans were scuttled when the studio brought in Joss Whedon to finish the film in post-production. That decision still draws the ire of some fans to this day. umm, WHAT? Please do not give us another Snyder take on Superman. To my knowledge, the ire of fans were for the vision Snyder was using.

I would highly recommend, if you didnt read it when it came out the Future Quest. It had all of them but Shazam, but added The Impossibles and Frankenstein JR. to your list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Quest

Well, at least they finally straightened Lena Luthor out and had Kara basically lecture her on what a spoiled brat she was being. I am glad, as i love Katie McGrath (ever since I saw her as Morgana on the very underrated Merlin series).

Agreed. I enjoyed it too. Though again we have the problem of the new shared universe, so now all the other heroes should know about the disappearance of the JSA. Also, means that Green Arrow is no longer the first superhero in their universe, though maybe that was addressed before.

Sorry to hear that. Thought the series started picking up a bit and got better and she actually made a pretty good Kate. I understand she had a serious injury, but played no part. Hopefully they can get someone decent for the role.

It is the version, when it is on, I will flip on to watch.

Ahh, Tunnels and Trolls Wizard, where you increased your strength because that was your magic pool. Joke used to be, how does a Wizard move a mountain in T&T, He picks it up.

The Great Ice Canoe from Rapa-Nui

Reminds me of Miller's(?) Daredevil run when Kingpin was trying to kill a fly with a single hand barbell and his servant starts yelling you can't kill a fly with a barbell. It's when he formulated the plan to destroy Daredevil from the outside and take away everyone and everything he knew.

I think a lot of the player salary thing is because of the new way GMs look at Sabermetrics. So the rookie deal, which basically underpays a player for what could be his best years causes part of this. Superstars still earn a lot. But GMs no longer pay for players over 30 like they used to. They aren't paying for what you have done, but now more then ever are trying to pay for what you are projected to do. So where the top end guys (Verlander, Trout, etc.) are still getting major bucks, the middle to lower end players are getting less and less. I think guys on 1 year contracts this year are really the ones hosed, by pro sports standards. Of course, Baseballs minimum salary is still $560,000 or so. So it is also hard for the common person to feel bad for them. The guy who warms pitchers up in the bullpen as a catcher is getting that, iirc.

Is it me or do the balconies look like some type of alien lizard heads? Was that the plan. Very cool looking though

I liked it too. Its over the top, but that is kind of the point.

Watching Dispatches from Elsewhere - up to episode 8. No idea how to describe except to say 4 people (we start with 1) are taken on a ride reminiscent of mystery house. So far is very very good and hard to predict what will come next.

I believe the summary would be "undoing as much of the CR@P that was done to the SW universe in Last Jedi as much as possible".
