Oops. Brainfart. I knew that. Oh well, not going to edit since you corrected it.That was Felicity's line.

T'other day, I said this:
Since then, I've realized that maybe she didn't list J'onn because he's not really active as a superhero. He's more just a government agency director who happens to have Martian superpowers that he sometimes uses in the field. He doesn't actually go around fighting crime the way Superman and Supergirl do.

Martial arts, of course.
Well more specifically in a scenario like that which Kara mentioned, how come the Kryptonians didn't go to the Dominator homeworld and exact some payback?
She didn't say when they came. It may have been pre-spaceflighgt Krypton. I imagins the Dominators are interstellar bullies, picking on civilizations weaker than they are.
That doesn't seem like their sort of thing to do. They were more explorers than conquerors, and it seems they were fairly isolationist aside from scientific curiosity, given that none of them seemed to be off-planet at the time it blew up. And who knows? There's probably some kind of galactic law or treaty system, and maybe the Kryptonian government demanded reparations or sanctions against the Dominators in the galactic court or something. There are more civilized forms of payback than meeting violence with violence.
I always have to shut down my German language center whenever her name is mentioned to not get distracted by kopfkino!

I had to look up that last word, though I could almost guess it. "Head cinema," eh? Interesting way of saying "imagination."
Beyond that, I'm not sure what you mean. Does "Vixen" mean something different in German?
2x08...
When we didn't get a good look at Rip Hunter's face, I figured that maybe it wasn't him and I was right. I wonder what's going on there. The time traveller settling in the past and writing a story or making a movie about the future seems like a familiar trope.

I know his nickname was "Babyface," but Capone looks like a guy that the CW would normally cast to play a high school student.
You are thinking of Babyface Nelson. Another gangster.
Gah, I was getting my Babyface mixed up with my Scarface...duh!
And now Sara's a hypocrite on both ends of her highhanded lecture to Barry.
I found this a disappointing episode. IS Snart ever coming back for real? I thought he was going to be part of the Legion of Doom. I am getting tired of dead characters returning in dreams and hallucinations
Actually we did get a close look at the director in the final shot, and yes, it is Rip. I was thrown off by the accent, but evidently Rip has landed in 1960s Hollywood and adopted the persona of an American director.
I'm surprised that the team still hasn't figured out that "the speedster" is Eobard Thawne. Wouldn't Gideon have records of his face? And Stein/Firestorm did face Thawne in the first-season finale of The Flash, though he had Harrison Wells's face at the time.
Nice bit of continuity here -- Thawne's device that let him steal someone's face. I remembered it shortly after the team rescued "Martin" and brought him back to the ship.
The version of Eliot Ness portrayed here is pure myth, by the way. The famous story of the Untouchables comes from a book that was presented as fact but was mostly fictionalized by Ness's collaborator Oscar Fraley -- the one compromise in Ness's lifelong commitment to honesty, made because he was in desperate financial straits at the time. In reality, Ness had little to do with bringing Capone down; his team was secondary to the real effort to get Capone on tax charges. They served a dual purpose: to distract Capone from the real investigation, and to undermine his business and cut into his revenues so it would be harder for him to bribe judges and politicians. But Ness chafed at being marginal to the operation, so as a compensation, his boss let him be the one who escorted Capone to prison after his arrest (the only time Ness and Capone ever actually met), and also made a point of lauding the efforts of Ness and his team to the press, coining the "Untouchables" name in the process and somewhat exaggerating their real importance. Ness was able to build on that reputation and advance his career, continuing to hunt bootleggers and fight corruption in other parts of the country for some years, but his fortunes declined later in life and he ended up so broke that he had to sell out, agreeing to put his name on a mostly imaginary account of the Untouchables and endorse it as a true story. Which proved to be for naught, since he died shortly thereafter, before the book was even published. It's really rather sad.
I wasn't clear, I was referring to the "Rip Hunter" who was being chased. We didn't get a good look at his face and I took note of that. Then he turned out to be an actor.
Umm, I think the director and that "actor" are the same person.
