I was thinking of watching Elseworlds, but then I saw Spider-Verse, a multiverse story with really, really tight, impeccable plotting, and I realized that Elseworlds would only leave me disappointed.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Ha! I'd better watch Elseworlds before I see Spider-Verse.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yup, better make that my plan.

Okay, the first Elseworlds episode is delightful. And I squeed at the Smallville theme and then had to explain it to Tim. And now I just want to watch Smallville.

And the second Elseworlds episode was a lot of fun, too. Gotham looks gorgeous (I'm a sucker for all that art deco architecture), and Stephen Amell and Grant Gustin are having way too much fun in each others' roles.
I don't understand why Barry and Oliver would hallucinate each other's fears, though, when they still have their own memories. Since Malcolm and Thawne showed up right before a commercial break, I was honestly expecting to come back from the break and see Barry and Oliver tell their respective hallucinations, "You've got the wrong guy," and walk away.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Me, too, Tep! I really loved the banter in the three eps, I have to say. Barry's delight when he shoots Oliver in the back with the remote control arrows was hilarious.

Barry's delight when
That was EXCELLENT.
I just finished the last epsiode, and Tyler Hoechlin had way too much fun playing Deegan/evil Superman.
I want to know what deal Oliver made with the Monitor. I guess they're going to save that for Crisis on Infinite Earths.

15 Fantasy Adaptations We're Excited to See on TV Soon
A lot of these are on Amazon. It seems like their strategy is "adapt everything until we get our own Game of Thrones".
Also, Frank Miller is working on a show with a teenage girl protagonist? Err...

The Doctor Who New Year's special was a much better season finale.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
In hospital, so no lengthy comment, but I completely agree. I wouldn't call it groundbreaking or anything, but it made for a pretty exciting story, and was competently done. (I have thoughts about the Thirteenth Doctor finally meeting the Daleks, but for a later time.)
