  1. It was indeed Hawkgirl. And I'm going to be really upset if they don't figure out some way to work Green Lantern into this universe, considering their flagrant tease from the "Rogue Air" episode. Now that we can discuss it: I tend to be pretty easy going about time travel paradoxes in movies and TV. I take the Austin Powers approach (ala the beginning of the second movie, where the scientist tells Austin not to worry too much about it, then looks at the audience and says "that goes for you too," or somesuch. Anyway, I just want them to be consistent. Eddie killing himself erased Eobard from existence. Ok. But if it had really erased him from ever existing, there would be no out-of-control wormhole. But there was. Nobody would be aware of why they were all standing around there. But they did. Flash wouldn't be Flash (yet). But he still was. So I think Eddie killing himself set in motion a chain of events that were dependent on Eobard showing up in the first place (otherwise, Eddie has no motive to kill himself, and we're stuck in a loop). In other words, Eddie's suicide/sacrifice created a new alternate universe, one in which all these things took place, but the ramifications only begin at the point the timeline was changed. After that, don't worry about it. My big concern, which goes unaddressed, is that Eddie's suicide eliminates potentially many more people from existence (and now we'll never know who they are or what they would have done). Jay Garrick's helmet made me say "Holy Spirit!" or something close to that. I recognized Hawkgirl from the Legends of Tomorrow trailer. I'm not enough of a comic book geek to have understood the Rip Hunter reference, and it would have gone right past me if not for the Legends of Tomorrow trailer. As for Legends of Tomorrow, I was REALLY hoping Vandal Savage would be the villain in the Justice League movie. An outstanding episode, overall. I was damned impressed.
  2. I'm not saying it's unpredictable. I SHOULD have seen it coming. But I was so wrapped up in everything else that was happening, I just didn't expect it. The only thing that was a problem for me (mild but predictable spoiler) is the fact that everyone was so gung-ho about Barry changing the past that they did not appear to really think about the implications. Cisco seems to be the only one who says, wait, this is an actively bad idea. This is all our lives we're talking about. Would you help a guy change the past not knowing how it will affect your present or future?
  3. That was correct. The movie described is Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2, but yes, that is correct. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was the most recent seprequel.
  4. I suspect the cliffhanger will be resolved fairly easily. I'm reminded of Star Trek TNG's "Best of Both Worlds," where part I ended with an epic start of a battle and in part II it was one shot that didn't work and oh well, back to talking. But wow. What a great episode. I did NOT see "the moment" coming at all. And the h..... showing up. I was like, THEY ARE NOT! And did you catch the cameos near the end? They were NOT random. And the name dropping. And the... WORDWOLF, HURRY UP AND WATCH THE EPISODE AS SOON AS YOU CAN!!!
  5. Just saw the finale. Outstanding
  6. Michael Caine Jaws: The Revenge Mario Van Peebles
  7. When and where was it set? In the distant past, nowhere near here... STAR WARS No bloody IV, V, VI, I, II or III
  8. Sorry for the delay in responding. The second one is NOT 12 Monkeys. But Monkeys is close. Both movies are sequels. Both are relatively recent. Because of how the first movie was made and released, you need to ignore an inconsequential bit of the official title.
  9. I think Lisa Snart would do him, but it wouldn't mean anything. Anyone have her number?
  10. Really? Sherlock Holmes? Ugh. What an awful guess. I'm washing my hands of this thread.
  11. I don't think the show has recaptured the high of the "Out of Time" episode, but it's still doing a pretty good job of keeping me engaged. I'm also (finally) catching up on Arrow Season 2, and I'm impressed with the groundwork they laid for Flash on that show. The whole "particle accelerator" plot device was in the background for the entire season leading up to the explosion and Barry Allen's lightning bolt. I wonder if anyone will ever make an "Island Cut" of Arrow featuring all the island sequences in chronological order. It would make a pretty good watch party. Or 4.
  12. A family of vampires fights to protect a human-vampire hybrid from super-intelligent apes in the wake of a pandemic that has wiped out a considerable percentage of the world's human population.
  13. Characters played by this actor include: John Sullivan Jesus Christ Edmond Dantes
  14. Batman "I am Kara of Argo City, daughter of Alura and Zor-El, and I don't scare easily."
  15. The 40-Year-Old Virgin Steve Carrell Bruce Almighty
  16. Ripley's Believe it Or Not.
  17. Dancing with the Stars and Stripes Forever ?
  18. Based on a movie now considered a comedy classic, this late 70s TV series was... not. It lasted 13 forgettable episodes. The movie it was based on earned one of its actors, Donald Sutherland, a $75,000 paycheck. Had he opted instead to take a cut of the film's earnings, he would have earned between $3 and $4 million. But he didn't think the movie would be a hit. Sutherland did not return for the TV series. His role was taken over by an actor named Peter Kastner. Never heard of him? Most haven't. Oh, the movie had one name, but the TV show had another. Both names referred to the same thing: The movie's name was informal, and the TV show's was formal.
