One of the sports radio teams I listen too asked the question what position makes the most difference - Hockey Goalie, Baseball starting pitcher or Quarterback. It was actually a trick question as he was making a point of how good LeBron is and how he is basically taking a team to the finals on his own. My answer was Hockey Goalie when he is great, Pitcher when he is bad.

Somedays you just can't get rid of a bomb.

Hmm, to bad Weaving said wouldn't play Red Skull again. Him showing up with the time stone would give him a reason to be their as he was.

Something occurred to me. I wonder if the black goo, which people say isn't the Graviton goo, might not be powered by one of the remaining Infinity Gems (I am guessing soul, as that would give a storyline about Gemma's being upset about the death of certain agents).

Was that black stuff the same stuff from Graviton? That was my opinion, but couldn't remember for sure if it was black.

I loved the confrontation between Snart and Flash in their last appearance. Barry letting them go, but warning "no more killing" or you go away a long time. Turning the Rogues into the characters they are. Now becomes more of a chess match between Cold and Flash, which is as it should be. Also, LOVED the Trickster episode. Showing photos of Hamel in his Trickster outfit from 90s show was great. Reminded me again why he made such a great choice for the Joker, as his Trickster was really the prelude to B:TAS's joker, with Prank being the prequel to Harley. I once heard a radio interview with Mark where they asked him to do the voice, he told them they couldn't watch, as he alters his face. One of the DJ's (Mark and Brian) peeked and said he absolutely contorted his face when doing it. Arrow remains good also, and I am loving the addition of ATOM. So, on TV we have Arrow, Flash, Firestorm, Black Canary (who has 2 tech people in Ray and Felicity and needs to get some more gear) and ATOM. Only thing I am not happy about series was the 180 degree turn by Captain Lance. It took a long time for Ollie to build up trust between them after the return, and to have him flip on Ollie, his daughter and the rest that quickly when learning of Sara's death, seemed abrupt.

Well, that could still happen.

Well, that could still happen.

I always liked the "You think our boss dresses up in a costume, runs around rooftops and beats up criminals and your plan is to blackmail him? Good luck with that."

Would have gotten away if not for those darn nosy kids and their dog, which is probably nearby.

It looks a lot like the costume from Man of Steel in color, which makes sense to me. If this were on CW, you would get teen Supergirl, I wager. On CBS, you get adult, serious Kara.

I don't think the cost is the main reason. I think their plan all along was to make her Daisy Johnson aka Quake, an established agent of SHIELD in the comics recruited by Fury during Civil War or Secret Invasion. As for her powers, one of them they mentioned in the comics was she developed pin point control (she isn't Avalanche) and could be one of the scariest Assassins if they tried, as her range is vision, IIRC, and with a scope, could explode someone's heart at range.

If you are talking about Skye, she isn't. Her character is the one called Quake from the comics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisy_Johnson She has vibration powers. Her leet hacking is just Hollywood leet hacking.

Part of the Crossover with Arrow was Oliver trying to tell Barry that his speed is just a tool and that he still needs to know what he is doing. Knowledge is power.

Michael Douglas is playing Hank Pym. Scott Lang was the 2nd(?) Ant Man, and he was indeed a thief who stole the Ant Man suit.

For Shield, depends on the episodes you saw. Some were prior, most the ones involving Hydra aren't. All Cap did was bring them out in the open, not eliminate. He cut off the heads he new of, but there are many leaders of Hydra. season 2 was basically Hydra and Coulson;s in a race to find something. I won';t spoil what.

I guess my reaction has more to do with their portrayal of her hacker skills, which seemed almost supernatural in some of the stuff she did, though I agree it wasn't outside what Felicity does on Arrow, so maybe shouldn't seem super powered. But if I recall, she basically hacked the quinjets system with her cell phone at one point. I have no problem with her being Daisy Johnson, and it was a good surprise, but I just think more of an explanation could have been forthcoming.

Interesting who she is and her powers, but I would have liked to have seen her develop abilities more along the lines that allowed her the computer hacking she has shown. Maybe something like Amadeus Cho (Mastermind Excello).

You missed whoever the other girl changed into. Didn't recognize the character. .

I wonder if Skye is immortal. She is the daughter of someone who touched the obelisk and apparently wasn't aging. We still don't know what powers her father actually has. I wonder if they aren't replacing the Terragin Mists with the Diviner (the name of the obelisk). I also wondered if it wasn't going to turn out to be another of the infinity stones.

I recognize all but the 1992 one. Is that from Bram Stoker's Dracula?

but then we might miss the "You have to register unless you can kick Iron Man's butt" moments: Thor Nova

One major problem with this storyline here is that you don't have a Spiderman, where revealing his identity and then wishing he hadn't, was a major crux of the whole thing.

The other thing occurring to me as I watch this show and Arrow is maybe they should not be so quick to disassociate the tv shows from their movies. they are doing a great job of introducing JLA members and villains. I keep wondering if Caitlin SNOW won't become Killer Frost. But now you have Arrow, Arsenal, Atom (maybe eventually), Flash and Firestorm.

No comments on Caitlin Snow's fiance?
