  1. It was a direct quote of the LoT "Invasion!" episode,.at 6:20. "Darmok and Jalad at Tenagra!" "I'll take that as 'have fun storming the castle." "Oh. For real? You're gonna use Princess Bride against ME?" I had to get up and finish my laughing fit. Mrs Wolf got it about 3-4 seconds into my seizure.
  2. "Darmok and Jalad at Tenagra!"
  3. Wild guess here: "Star Trek Beyond"?
  4. Mrs Wolf doesn't normally follow Supergirl, so I give her updates from time to time. She saw this one, and insists on trying to watch the series' in airdate order because she expects some degree of overlap and crossover (wait, didn't Diggle have a daughter? Why isn't he surprised? Why is Ollie wearing long sleeves?) There's no way they could have really adapted "Invasion!" to the shows, but I appreciate the effort. I loved the comic story. At the end of part 1, the Alien Alliance had taken over Australia and issued a call to surrender all supers to them. The UN debated- if we hand over the supers and they break their deal, we handed over our best defense against invasion, is our best defense cooperation, etc.) The story ended with Jimmy and Perry White discussing the Daily Planet's front page. "Earth to Invaders: DROP DEAD!" "World gears up for war!" "Story begins on page 2" Now, THAT's a cliffhanger! Perry said something to the effect of- I don't know how we'll do against them, but, by Caesar, at least we stand united!
  5. "Oh I can't take another heartache Though you say you're my friend, I'm at my wit's end You say your love is bonafide, but that don't coincide With the things that you do And when I ask you to be nice, you say" "Well I do my best to understand dear But you still mystify and I want to know why I pick myself up off the ground To have you knock me back down, again and again And when I ask you to explain, you say" "..in the right measure." "...it's a very good sign." "...means that I love you."
  6. Ok, saw Flash. We disagreed on who should have come along. I would have liked Jonn, or at least Monel, but Mrs Wolf pointed out that Kara's kept Barry as a big secret. I still would have liked to have seen Monel get dragged off for a weekend. Mrs Wolf pointed out he's still recovering-and I said he was STILL more buff than most of the team that's taking the field, even walking wounded. Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice....
  7. Figures. We just finished watching the Supergirl one and saw the Flash flag at the end. Which makes sense because I had them numbered, with SG as 1 and Flash as 2 and so on. Next stop, Flash.
  8. Proceeding from "New Jack City" I play Judd Nelson From the Hip John Hurt
  9. As long-time GSC attendees know, he fumbled that one, as well. The word "learning" in "for our learning" is the same word rendered "doctrine" in "all Scripture is God-Breathed, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." Then again, while we're on the subject, he fumbled the "thoroughly" thing also. If he'd ended his point at "people don't read what is written", he would have stayed on sound ground. However, he INVENTED the "definition" of "throughly" that he used. In 1611, the word was an alternate rendering of "thoroughly" and carried the exact same meaning to the readers of the KJV either way. (That's off the "Actual Errors in PFAL" thing, from way, way back.)
  10. I figured you were going somewhere with it, but you were far too opaque. I'm sure YOU got your own joke, but remember that the rest of us can't read your mind, so any point or joke stands or falls on what is actually typed.
  11. Correct- mixing "the Mob Doctor" with "Doctor Doctor" with "Doctor Strange."
  12. A similar criterion CAN be applied to vpw and his false claims. SINCE he is a proven liar about how pfal was from only his research and divine revelation, and SINCE he lied to us entirely about God Almighty making impressive-sounding, EMPTY promises to him, THEN we have no reason to trust the alleged "teacher" on anything else. If there is any substance, it's not due to him, and if there's falsehood, it receives no legitimacy in proceeding from his mouth and pen. Sure is a shame when people confuse the contents of pfal-which is filled with errors and stems from vpw's plagiarisms and limited understanding- with the contents of Holy Scripture. We've had our share of posters who've done that over the years, even one who thought vpw's books and classes were SUPERIOR to Holy Scripture and SUPERSEDED it.
  13. This TV-movie is about physicians. One ends up indebted to organized crime and ends up moonlighting for them. He's one physician from a group of 4 that went to Harvard, then went into practice together. Another of the 4 was a neurosurgeon who retired from medicine after an injury and radically changed careers after a life-changing, reality-warping experience. Cast includes Jordana Spiro, Matt Frewer, and Benedict Cumberbatch.
  14. "Oh I can't take another heartache Though you say you're my friend, I'm at my wit's end You say your love is bonafide, but that don't coincide With the things that you do And when I ask you to be nice, you say" "Well I do my best to understand dear But you still mystify and I want to know why I pick myself up off the ground To have you knock me back down, again and again And when I ask you to explain, you say"
  15. Ok, I've got another triple. Strictly speaking, it is not a "stealth" triple. This TV-movie is about physicians. One ends up indebted to organized crime and ends up moonlighting for them. He's one physician from a group of 4 that went to Harvard, then went into practice together. Another of the 4 was a neurosurgeon who retired from medicine after an injury and radically changed careers after a life-changing experience.
  16. Next.... "Well I do my best to understand dear But you still mystify and I want to know why I pick myself up off the ground To have you knock me back down, again and again And when I ask you to explain, you say"
  17. Breaker 1-9, breaker 1-9, George, you got your ears on?
  18. I saw "Chocolat?" When was this? I went down his IMdB page and found exactly 1 thing I personally saw him in. , http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001780/?ref_=tt_cl_t3 In "Arrow" , he played Werner Zytle/Count Vertigo in 2 episodes, "the Calm" and "Canaries." 2014 and 2015. Technically, the 2nd Count Vertigo. http://arrow.wikia.com/wiki/Werner_Zytle http://arrow.wikia.com/wiki/Peter_Stormare
  19. *looks him up* I have actually only seen him as Count Vertigo, and there's NO way I could tell you his name or pick him out of a lineup from that.
  20. I need to check, but is this "DC's Legends of Tomorrow Never Dies"??
  21. Ok, that song was covered by a bunch of artists, and appeared in "Blues Brothers 2000." It's "Ghost Riders in the Sky- A Cowboy Legend" (or variations on that title.) It's been covered by Jiohnny Cash, Dean Martin, Roy Clark, REM, the Dixie Chicks, the Tubes, Christopher Lee, Deborah Harry, Peter Paul & Mary, Tom Jones, Burl Ives..... FREE POST!

  23. I'll do what I can to catch up. I'm up-to-date on Gotham and LoT. I'm 1 behind on Flash, 2 on Arrow, 1 on Supergirl. Me and Mrs Wolf (I showed her the little speech) were very interested in the idea that extee aliens were being offered not simply asylum, but CITIZENSHIP. I'm hoping there will be an episode where a super from another country fakes being an extee so they can fast-track getting US citizenship.
  24. Just finished watching that one. I agree. And the reference to the "other plane" at the end was cute, if 4th Wall-breaking. (I'll be impressed if there's an in-universe answer for that one.) Cute how they're changing certain characters, apparently to appeal to different demographics. Jimmy Olsen's black- supposedly to appeal to black viewers. Maggie Sawyer is still a lesbian but now she's a minority and a LOT more "feminine-looking" rather than 'butch"-supposedly to appeal to viewers who can relate to that (which, frankly, is unfair to the "butch" viewers who are STILL unrepresented despite all the lesbians in the DC live verse(s).) Apparently, Snapper Carr is now an angry old balding white guy to appeal to the angry, balding white guy demographic (yes, they're under-represented as well.)
  25. Ministers and divinity students were exempt from the draft during World War 2. What a remarkable coincidence that he had entered Princeton Theological Seminary just as US involvement in WW 2 was looking like a reality, wouldn't you say? Almost like he went in specifically to avoid the draft.
