What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Meisner, he flew off with her in the helicopter the King did a bellyflop out of.

I like her better than Hawkbro. They need to not reincarnate him for a long time.

Yes, she's better than Hawkbrow, but that's not saying much.

Thanks, Matt. That rings a bell. And Meisner is Resistance? I find that guy super hard to focus on - I keep hearing his name as Eisner and start thinking about whether that's meant to be a reference, besides trying to figure out if I recognize the actor from somewhere else (I don't think I do, I think he just reminds me of Garrett Dillahunt from some angles)

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.

Count me as another who shed no tears at Hawkbro's passing.

If this was a brand new show, with no connection at all to the Arrowverse, I don't know if I'd stick with it. Even with that connection, I'm wavering.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Even with that connection, I'm wavering.

I'm not super attached to it. Don't get me wrong; I *love* Captain Cold beyond the telling of it. He is the goddamn BEST. And I also think that Heat Wave is a lot better on Legends than he was on The Flash.

But Rip Hunter is WAY too Captain Exposition for me, and the Hawks are just not good at all.

Yes, they are terribly entertaining. And Sarah is a good partner for them. I don't mind Firestorm either.

So, I mainlined the first season of iZombie this weekend and loved the hell out of it. Can anybody tell me if season 2 is as good? My daughter said she didn't think so. I want a Buffista opinion, as my daughter and I may watch the same shows, but very frequently for different reasons and have different readings of character motivation.

It's been a little uneven, but I'm still into it.

It's even better, in my opinion. They've really mastered the balance between serialization and standalone that Veronica Mars had, making each case relate to the character arc while also juggling several other plates.

Excellent. Now, the next question is, how important is it to watch all the episodes in season 2 up to now? Can I skip them, or will I be missing too much?
