Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

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

The stuff with Victor Garber and Rory in Mission Control, oh my god.

Yeah, it was fun.

That said, how much research does it take to know that there were no seats in the lunar module*. Yeesh! Just watch Apollo 13.

* that really ought to be in asscaps, because I shouted it at the TV.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I'm still not in love with this season of Arrow, but last night's episode definitely improved the season a lot for me. Now that Team Arrow knows that Adrian Chase is Prometheus, Josh Segarra gets to cut loose, and I really like how he chews the scenery almost as much as Malcolm Merlyn but is as menacing as Slade Wilson. With a wide streak of Christian Bale in "American Psycho."

Also, I had to laugh that Prometheus takes his day job more seriously than ALL of Team Arrow takes theirs.

Finally, this whole season has been worth it for Anatoly's "bat" comment and asking Ollie "What's that thing you're doing with your voice?"

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Reading that makes me want to see a superhero who disguises his voice with vocal fry.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We laughed so hard at that "voice" comment, Tep!

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

If I get to yell "I love Anatoly!" at least once, I count an Arrow episode a win. MVP.

Ha! Pretty much every episode he's in, I end up saying "I LOVE YOU ANATOLY!" He's the best.

12 Monkeys gets one more season.

This is still Kristen's show, right?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

That voice comment was hilarious.

I really like how he chews the scenery almost as much as Malcolm Merlyn but is as menacing as Slade Wilson.

And you know he's serious, because he talks really softly.

This was a better episode. I forgot that not the entire viewing audience would know that Talia was Talia Al'Ghul, so the big reveal was kind of "yes, and?"

Why does Thea keep disappearing? I know they set up the canon reason, but is the actress working on something else? (I had to look up her name. Willa Holland. Not, as I first thought, Willa Cather.)

I'm not sure if she's working on something else, but I read her contract was only for 14 episodes. Or maybe 16? Now I can't remember. Not a full season, though.
