Oops.

No. And I'm kicking myself because I could have used this song in the Rock/Roll thread. Hypodermics on the shores, China's under martial law, Rock and Roller Cola wars, I can't take it anymore

That is a lyric, not a mash-up. Wheel of Fortune. Sally Ride. Heavy Metal. Suicide. Foreign debts. Homeless vets. AIDS. Crack. Bernie Goetz.

L.A. Confidential "I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel. And I am immortal."

Buddy Holly. Ben-Hur. Space Monkey. Mafia. Hula hoops. Castro.

You know what they say: toughest is the new easiest.

Wild Thing (Tone Loc)

Awesome!

I would have to guess Bruce Banner and expect most of those names to be voice actors in cartoons.

I doubt it. He's too good for us. And the slavery apologetic is rather common. It's telling that he ignores female slaves and foreign slaves from his discussion, as well as the notion of children born into slavery through no fault of their own, being kept by the slavemaster if the father goes free. There has been, there and here, no response to the obvious immorality of that law. Dan also, astonishingly, seems to be making the case that Old Testament slavery is morally preferable to the ability to declare bankruptcy. So. Ok. Gays are ok as long as they don't f***. Thanks, Dan.

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.

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?

Steve's back!

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.

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!!!

Just saw the finale. Outstanding

When and where was it set? In the distant past, nowhere near here... STAR WARS No bloody IV, V, VI, I, II or III

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.

I think Lisa Snart would do him, but it wouldn't mean anything. Anyone have her number?

Wish I'd guessed that.

Really? Sherlock Holmes? Ugh. What an awful guess. I'm washing my hands of this thread.

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.
