Ah.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I feel guilty for liking it so much.
Yeah, me too, Tom, and you're right about the animation. The previews for 5x10 (maybe) are puzzling, because they seem to be mixing characters from different iterations of the Legion (not that they've ever been especially faithful to canon, but Bouncing Boy was jettisoned as a super hero about four iterations ago).

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

No, I got that. I mean, is it live-action tv? Cartoon with voice-overs?

I could freak you out and point you to the live action Justice League from 1979, but actually, it's a cartoon, it's on Cartoon Network (sometimes, the people who schedule CN are on crack). It's the same people who did the Batman and Superman animated series from the 1990s, and at least some of the episodes are quite good.

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.
Haven't seen 5x9 yet. 5x10 is up. And apparently 5x13 is going to be the series finale. This makes me sad.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Holy shit, Scola! That's some mind warping stuff.
Somebody needs to make icons out of those pix. I think Ple needs The Huntress and Black Canary, but I particularly like Green Lantern shooting himself in the face.
Favorite description: "Anyway, the heroes all converge on (sigh) Hidden Island Lake, where I see something I was fairly confident that I would never see on television: Mordru the sorcerer riding around on a jet-ski."

I actually watched that show the one time it was on. I don't remember what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn't that.
