I think the JLU staff has been spending too much time on the Superman is a Dick web site.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Heh. OTOH, I just watched the last two eps of the season, and they were frelling amazing.

Amen. Remember when people used to joke about Superman's idealism?
I also remember having a WTF?!? moment the first time the show devoted like 15 minutes to the JLA's big orbital phallic symbolfusion cannon heating up and going off. I think the writers have Issues.

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 didn't see Superman as being particularly dickish, though he's certainly less idealistic than he used to be. But considering he just had to beat down one colleage while rescuing another from imprisonment and torture as well as learning someone he considered a friend now fears him, is working for a group that is actively plotting the league's destruction and create a clone of his cousin to use as an assassin I can understand him being a little eager to lay the smack down.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
So, I spent a few minutes at the comic book store, reading some of the zombie comics that are currently coming out. First off, I'm a touch confused that there are so many of them out right now. Secondly, I think the only one worth reading is Walking Dead.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Art Crawl!!!
Was this week the last week of JLU? Darn it! I missed the episode.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I don't think it was the last week, because nothing was resolved. Except the part where it was confirmed that Superman IS a dick.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Two more episodes, according to DX and other sources.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Zombies are the new vampires.
I'm doubting it inspires a whole lot of fanfic though, as the slash potential is so gruesome.
