Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

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

I think the point is "why de-age him and then make him gay?" Why not keep the already existing positive example and build on it, instead of swapping one for another?

Not one of the people I've seen arguing it have said that de-aging him is a bad idea. Obviously I can't speak for arguments I haven't read. But in the article I read, it was stated that a younger version was axiomatic, and the question was "what do we do from there?" And that's what people were getting mad at, even though the de-aging removed a gay character from the universe, and therefore there's no net creep of homosexuality with this change.

YJ: again, not one of the stronger episodes this season, but lots of little things done right: “Does he say that often?” “Too often!”

And The Jade and Roy Show should be its own sitcom.

After watching, I wondered if it was a Peter David episode, and it was.

Oh, my. I used to be so into Elfquest. I think fanart happened. I mean, it was perfect for me. Supernatural beings living wild and bonded with animals? I think that was my precise definition of fantasy for a couple years.

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.

YJ:

I actually quite enjoyed the episode.

Interesting that in this universe that Impulse's personality is apparently, at least partially, an act. Not sure how I feel about that, yet. I guess we'll have to see what they do with it.

I agree, the Jade and Roy show was a lot of fun. I especially loved the surrounded by a horde of guys cut away, come back and they're all on the ground and Roy is shaking his hand in pain. Was Jade showing any sort of reaction after that? Because I only noticed Roy.

So, if the pattern holds, who do we think we're going to see in the next Peter David episode Arrowette or Empress ?

I was beginning to wonder if all speedsters had some inherently annoying qualities that don't go away until adulthood. Yikes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Huh. Betty the Vampire Slayer vs. Vampironica.

Colin's university roommate worked on the Titans Go! Comic. Isn't that kinda weird? I think that's weird.
