I know that Batwoman last night was a repeat, but it actually got pretty good with the Green Hornet and Kato showing up.  But I might have been channel switching over to Decades.

My choices

Power Girl - Super strength, heat vision, freezing breath, super senses, flight, invulnerability, knowledge of computers.

Firestorm - Flight, Energy Blast, transmutation powers.

Wonder Woman - Super strength, flight, tactical knowledge, unbreakable magic lasso that can control minds.

Scarlet Witch - Powers can cause chaos and opponents powers to malfunction, telekinesis, telepathy, mental illusions, flight.

Rogue - Flight and super strength, ability to render anyone she touches unconscious while gaining their powers and knowledge.

Invisible Woman - Invisibility, flight, force fields.

Worst Case Scenario

The Inferior Five

Jean Grey

The villains laugh while Jean goes Dark Phoenix.

I'm going to save some time here by reviewing tomorrow's episode now.

The latest episode of Batwoman was terrible.  How could Kate done that?  Alice is so predictable and yet Batwoman hasn't caught her yet.

Ah, I need more information.  What is Thanos bringing to the table in this fight?  An army?  The Infinity Guantlet?  The Obsidian Order?  If it is just Thanos by himself, six heroes shouldn't even be necessary: two heavy hitters from either DC (Superman and anybody) or Marvel (Thor and Silver Surfer) should dog walk his ass.  Also, can we mix and match heroes from both Universes?

That's going to be part 2.

Could we Please, Please, PLEASE come up with another name for the character?  If there's a worse name for a superhero than Sparkplug, it does not come immediately to mind.  That's even worse than Utility or The Wedding Destroyer for villain names.

Poinsettia?

You know.  For Kids.

Current as this “at present”? 

 

If could you find a role for Eliza Dushku? Cheers .  

Howler seems about right.

You are The Monitor.  You can chose any six heroes from the DC and Marvel Universes to stop Thanos.  Who do you pick?

I could go with along with that, cf Witt & Cuthbert. 

To be honest most of the current actors and actresses have left no impression on me.

Neil McDonough as Marksman

Alicia Witt as Rose

Michael Weatherly as Icestar

Lauren Graham as Icicle

Elisa Cuthbert as Flare

Alice Eve as Sparkplug

What if Mechanon didn’t have a voice, and used sign language & Braille? 

I think it would be better to have James Spader as his voice.

Ahem.

That was more for his performance in Murder By Death then anything else.

Your taxi is here.

I didn't order a taxi.

You'd prefer an ambulance?

I think we all agree that all wine tastes the same, and if you spend more then five dollars on wine you're very stupid.

Please, Robot Godfather, look into your Heart Drive and open your Mercy File.

...and the final scene between Hamlet and Laertes is filmed like an action movie finale, which is cool.

I liked Arnold Schwarznegger's Hamlet.  "To Be or Not To Be  .  .  .  Not To Be."

And Branagh's version of Hamlet is not only superbly acted and beautifully set, but remains the only movie version that covers the ENTIRE play.

In Blackadder Back and Forth he goes back in time and punches William Shakespeare in the face for Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet.  When Shakespeare asks "Who's Kenneth Branagh?", Blackadder replies "I'm going to tell him you said that.  It should make him very unhappy."

Mister Simpson, you've been the boy's father for ten years.  Do you really think he could be the leader of a vicious criminal syndicate?

"Well, not the leader  .  .  .  Oh, it's true, it's all true!  All the pieces fit!"

The second time today someone has made me snort my drink.....

Did the first time have to do with Nicholas Cage being perfect for Ghost Rider because his head looks computer animated anyway?

The kick ass grrl syndrome in entertainment has long been a problem.  Joss Whedon's power waifs, the latest Charlie's Angels where the angels look like they couldn't punch out of a wet paper bag, etc.  Up to a certain point I'm okay with it (in the right genre or setting) but it is tiring watching a 5'1 97 pound actress pretend she can beat up a 6'7 280 pound bodybuilder.  Even Chuck Norris movies had him struggle against really big, strong guys.  That increases drama: dang this target is huge, how am I going to beat this one??

The opposite of this is the quiet female character like the police woman in Emergence.  There were so many awkward pauses in the show I watched I had to make sure the screen wasn't frozen.

Oh, c'mon.  She was HAWT in that cameo!  😂😂

If your into pumpkins.

Heh, yea, that's not a cameo I knew about until it was pointed out, afterward.

It's a same she was made up like that because she's a lovely woman.  I loved her on Just The Ten of Us and The Demolitionist.

My point was that in the case of DS9 and thinking apples-to-apples, it's actually Nerys. (Hence why the joke might have been missed.)

The other joke that people missed is how something is as hard to find as Heather Langenkamp in Star Trek Into Darkness.

Remember it's possible to fly if you flap your arms until tells you it's impossible.
