[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

I don't know that they'd invest in a fully green Gar. They'd probably settle for a nice emerald aura right before he changes shape. Cyborg? Slap a couple metallic looking appliances on his face. Starfire's hair? Do it like the cartoon and airbrush her with bronzer.

Life is eternal, Love is immortal, and death is only an illusion.

I miss Birds of Prey ALOT! To bad they had to rewrite and crew it up. The Comic is really good and the show could have been awesome.

Now I have to go elsewhere to see Shemar with a gunn. *sigh*

As to the Titans, if the kept with the small tight group there would be no more cost or effect then the do now for Smallville.

Use Dick Grayson.... Nightwing has no powers just lots of stunts.

Donna troy, in whatever version they want, is more raw strngth and is human like Clark.

They could use the same model to do cyboeg the did on SV.

Really the biggest money would go to Gar. And if they wanted to do it Starfire's hair.

But maybe for pazzaz add Bart(kid-flash) and you have his super speed.

I honesty don't think there would be much cost that is not in an average ep of SV, today. I would love to see it.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

I made Katie Finneran's day!

Last night I was headed to a going away party for one of the attorneys. I was walking with a couple of my colleagues and enjoying the sights, including New York's seemingly endless stream of beautiful women. Which is, of course, how I spotted Katie. As she got closer I realized that I recognized her, and right after she passed me I figured out who she was. "Katie Finneran!" She turned around and walked back toward me. "Oh, hi..." I could tell she was trying to remember who I was, so I told her, "No, you don't know me. I'm just a big fan of Wonderfalls and The Inside." She was surprised I recognized her. Her hair was strawberry blonde and pulled back; she seemed much thinner than on either show. Don't know if she lost weight or if she just dressed and carried herself differently from Sharon or Mel. Anyway, she looks GREAT in person, much better than on either show -- and I thought she was smoking hot on tv.

She asked my name and demanded a last name when I just said Joe. I told her that I had also hooked my wife on Wonderfalls. "You should come to Pig Farm." What's that? "It's a play I'm doing at the Roundabout. Bring your wife and come backstage!" With a charming smile and "You really made my day!" we parted. She made my day, too. And that was even before I started drinking on someone else's tab.

Aquaman is, reportedly, dead in the water.

Excellent phrasing, Kristen!

I made Katie Finneran's day!

Which probably made a bunch of buffistas' day as well as green with envy! Great story.

Excellent phrasing, Kristen!

Maybe I should consider a career with Variety.

What a great Katie Finneran story! I thought I had reached my maximum love on her, but I was wrong.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I have no idea how much of "classic" TT the comic mined

Off the top of my head, the major story arcs that pulled from the classic comics, though with some changes, were the Terra arc, the Doom Patrol/Brotherhood of Evil arc and the Raven/Trigon arc. The last season also featured a lot of cameos from assorted Titan members over the years including Jericho and Kid Flash.

His skin was okay, but I'm still skeptical (or forgetful) about Gar's hair.

Honestly, all you'd have to do is find an actor that doesn't mind dying their hair green. My brother's done a wide range of colors over the years and they've all looked as natural as having green, blue or crimson hair can look.

They could use the same model to do cyboeg the did on SV.

I didn't like the way they did Cyborg on Smallville. A big part of Cyborg's angst comes from the fact he's very obviously not human.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Also, maybe it is just me - but if the acting is good, the writing is good, and the director maintains a good pace, I'm cool with the special effects consisting of hand puppets.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Great story, Joe! Are you going to go to the play and go backstage?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A big part of Cyborg's angst comes from the fact he's very obviously not human.

As does Gar's. Donna and Dick and Wally can pass. Gar and Vic are visibly different outcasts. Gar was Doom Patrol, man. Freak city.
