Thanks so much for the heads up, Kal -- I've got it set on the TiVo now. I was late to the TT boat, but once I got onboard I wondered why I hadn't.

The Legion of Superheroes is supposed to debut on CN next week.
They're also showing a Fantastic Four series, that really, really sucks.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Wait, they're not including Cosmic Boy as part of the core group? That's just wrong. It's wronger than wrong. It's the wrongest wrong in the 31st Century version of Wrongonia. It's even wronger than the current comic iteration of the Legion.
(And don't even get me started on the lack of Element Lad...)

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Yeah, but it appears Wil Wheaton will be voicing Cosmic Boy, which is kind of amusing and cool.

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.

No problem. I knew there were a couple of TT watchers here about. I apparently have to start paying more attention to CN's weekend "movies". Maybe we'll luck out and they'll have a JL one some time down the road.

Cool. I'll give it a shot, but I'm not overly-thrilled with the character designs, especially giant-headed/scrawny-bodied "Superman".
It's too bad they couldn't make it a continuation off of the JLU episode with Supergirl.

I'd wondered about that. I saw it on the listings, but had no idea as to the quality. Glad I didn't bother with it, then.

Whoops, it's not on Cartoon Network, it's on the CW.

According to my Newbury Comics email newsletter, Astounishing #17 is out tomorrow. That's almost on schedule, isn't it? Consider me astounished.

This is pretty good:

Clips of an episode of the BBC show "Masterminds", where the guy's chosen subject is Neil Gaiman's Sandman. I got about as many questions right as he did, thankyouverymuch.

Regarding Astonishing X-Men #17, is anyone now wondering if the Sebastian Shaw and Neurasonic Teenage Warhead we're seeing are real at all? I'm assuming that Cassandra Nova is a psychic projection, either from her slimy prison or from hitchhiking within Emma Frost. I'm also assuming that the Emma we've been seeing for months is some other Genoshan mutant (with the diamond body power) that Cassandra reshaped mentally and physically into an Emma doppelganger as part of a contingency plan. But Warhead's powers are also telepathic, and thus easily replicable by either Cassandra or Emma. And the "good" Emma tried to physically breach that containment device, rather than the far more logical Shaw. I wonder if Peter actually knocked himself out in that fight a couple issues ago ...
