Spoilers Supergirl - Season 1

Why would Cat doubt that was Kara? She is just some average person with no special insight that would give her the ability to detect any deception. She can be fooled just as easily as anyone else.

Didn't at all mean she would doubt it was Kara. She would be fooled, of course. But fake Kara was so awfully out-of-tune with Kara's real self I couldn't stop thinking of how that all sounded in Cat's head. It must have been bizarre. He didn't just stumble, he was basically all over the place. So off I don't know why they didn't all the way with Melissa Benoist imitating David Harewood a little (not as far as Anna Torv doing a full impersonation of Leonard Nimoy, but something in that direction).
 
I'm sure Cat probably just saw it as Kara being in a bad mood or something. And it certainly wouldn't be the first time Kara acted strange or out of character in front of her.

Buffy did that exact thing. My wife muttered something about maybe Kara's in an asylum in Sunnydale.
I think this has graduated from trope to cliche.

If you go back further, it was my jam that when they Locked up that oaf Riker in a Sanitarium, that the only thing he had to do to escape was make love to Frasier's wife Lillith from Cheers.

No shit, what?

Crossroads!!!!

Crossroads ripped off St Elsewhere or St Elsewhere ripped off Crossroads??

OO!

They both finished in 1988!

It was a good year for the Cuckoo's nest trope?

The last episode of the daytime British soap Crossroads aired 4th of April 1988.

The final episode of St Elsewhere aired almost two months later on 25 of may 1988.

Well that's settled.

Baaaad St Elsewheres, Baaaaad!
 
By the time I figured that out, I didn't have the strength to reach for the delete button.

Bebe Neuwirth is stunning.

Wasn't there an episode where Lilith decided to seduce Sam?

Yes.

I remember watching the film Tadpole and finding myself rather jealous.

Also, she's fantastic on Madame Secretary--one of the best parts of the show.
 
I was previously unaware of this relationship from 2009.

I know it looks like Captain Marvel, but it's actually Captain Marvel Jr dressed as Captain Marvel after a staffing upheaval.
 
Actually Captain Marvel is another character that would be really cool to see on this show someday. I know there's supposedly going to be a movie, but that's not until 2019 so Supergirl has plenty of time to squeeze him in beforehand.

So wait, is Marvel Jr actually older or younger than Marvel Sr because I'm pretty sure Marvel Sr is supposed to be something like eleven years old under all that magically enhanced muscle. Is Supergirl aware of this? Either way this just feels creepy.
 
This happened around Final Crisis, at the rear end of the post crisis DCU.

Shazam died, Billy became the new "old wizard" Shazam, supervising all magic from the Rock of Eternity, and Freddie had 12 tasks to undertake before the Gods would award him their powers (a twelve issue maxiseries by Howard Porter and Judd Winnick) and the right to call himself Captain Marvel. Freddie's regular body looked like his Marvel Body, because the Marvel family had been the Marvel family for almost ten years. So no, there wasn't an age discrepancy.

If you'd look back a couple years earlier at JSA, there you have Billy and Star Girl hooking up. In his normal body they are age appropriate, however they continue to be affectionate now and then when Billy is in 20 years senior Marvel body now and then, which is very creepy.

Actually, that image is almost certainly
Prometheus in a disguise (holographic, I think) posing as Freddie. Since we never see Freddie after Prometheus reveals the deception in the book, that basically means that the real Freddie was never there, so that's technically Supergirl kissing a supervillain.

Except that after seeing that cover this morning, I acquired the books and was going to read them tonight once it stopped being so damn hot.

At the time, the title rubbed me the wrong way (no idea why.) and I don't think I got past the second issue.

Goddammit :brickwall: I'm legitimately sorry. I never spoil things if I can help it, but for some reason my dumb ass decided to let this pass (for some reason my hate for the book translated to letting a spoiler through). I edited the post, but I suppose that doesn't mean anything at this point.
 
I keep reading James Robinson hoping that one day he'll produce another work as good as Starman. Sadly even his best work doesn't come close to that (admittedly lofty) goal. And Cry for Justice was far from his best work.

I'd almost say that it was probably his worse work, but his Justice Society run (which was thankfully short) pissed me off more as a huge JSA fan.

Try Airboy from late last year till a couple weeks ago. James and the artist break the 4th wall, enter the comic and start a bunch of drug induced orgies with both genders and Airboy. Oh, and his regret about making movies was hilarious. It's more of an editorial on the condition of the world than a WWII Flying Ace comic book, but I think it works.

No worries. I'll probably get distracted and forget to read them (again).

Although that villain is fantastic. I gotta wonder if Prometheus can kiss like a lot of the worlds greatest lovers as well, and if Batman is one of those lovers?
