Still wondering about a possible map and about "Brother Eye".

*checks* I was wrong about Chunk. He was definitely more corpulent, but then so was Amanda Waller. I'm one of those people who resented the thinning of Waller in the comics just in time to show her as thin in media. Chunk's depictions that I saw kept drawing him adjacent to some guy. I thought the artist was trying to say something. Looking back, I'm pretty sure the artist was trying to shoehorn in a pretext so they could change the character. Yes, Mr Terrific in the comics is MICHAEL Holt, and in the Arrowverse is CURTIS Holt, and they're different people who seem to share the same background and skills. (I'm going back to when Mark Waid was writing the Flash the first time, and it was Wally, and Wally got married. Haven't seen Chunk since then.) Sara and Constantine's dating habits have been addressed more this past season in LoT. BOTH have actually been painted more in the "and they jump at whatever moves" sense, but at least it's been in a "and they might date whoever" sense, so, bad writing on one hand, good writing on the other.

No. This show's been around a while, but not as long as "Hollywood Squares."

While we wait..... This game-show has been successfully franchised in different countries, with some name changes besides obvious translations. The original game-show has stopped production, then resumed on a different network, more than once. It has had original episodes on Fox (in a prime-time slot as well as day-time), Fox Family (or Family before Fox bought it, I'm not sure), on the Country Music channel, and on Nickelodeon (kids channel.) It's had at least 2 hosts. Celebrity contestants have included- Abby Kadabby (a Sesame Street Muppet), Gene Simmons, Ken Jennings, and George Smoot. Amazingly, the concept for this show first appeared on the Howard Stern Show. AFAIK, it's the only game-show that's ever been hosted by John Cena (WWE wrestler John Cena.)

A) The Conjuring. B) Robert. C) Annabelle. That last one's the best-known of the 3, AFAIK.

They seem to 1/2 follow this rule. They often seem to forget she can be interested in guys (it WAS remembered in dialogue in CoEX), and have written her as a woman who seems to go after women after the drop of a hat. Other than that line, though, they seem to fall into the other trap of "no such thing as bisexuals", which, admittedly, isn't just a TV or movie problem. If, really bored, you sign up for a dating site, and list yourself as straight, you'll be shown profiles of the opposite sex. If you list yourself as gay, you'll be shown profiles of the same sex. If you list yourself as bisexual, you'll be shown profiles of the same sex exclusively. However, the fact that they DID include the line should count for something, even if it was inconsistent with the rest of the scripts. Anyone find it interesting that, in the comics, Mr Terrific dated Black Canary when she and GA were on a break? And that the TV Chunk is straight?

BTW, I have no idea WHY, but they seem to keep putting her in lowered light situations. Maybe it's some sort of intentional metaphor or something. In other news, I was wondering if the latest Flash episode showed a multiversal map, and if the satellite was their version of "Brother Eye" of OMAC fame,

Considering everything else, interracial relationships seem to be commented on little if ever in WB DC shows. My one thought on, say, Barry and Iris was that Iris didn't look the same as the comic (same comment as Wally, obviously.) I didn't see that as an issue for the relationship. Didn't see a problem with Cisco dating Linda Park (Latino and Asian), and so on. Didn't have a problem with the permutations in "Arrow' either. As "Black Lightning" goes, Grace Choi in a relationship on TV made way more sense than in the comic. In the comic, she was introduced as both bisexual and promiscuous. One character found the promiscuity obnoxious and offensive (she REALLY got around off-camera, and apparently also identified a crime scene as having hosted an orgy almost upon arrival, etc.) Later, we found out the other character and her got involved. I don't buy it simply because I don't think it's believable to find someone's morals disgusting, then end up in a relationship with them. (I didn't disbelieve any of her one-night-stands or whatever, since that was consistent with what we knew about her. I did note that it fell into the usual trap of equating bisexual with promiscuous, which I thought was lazy writing.) In the show, she didn't seem to be promiscuous, so there was no obvious personality clash.

It's a reflection of 2 things- the demand and the supply. True twi splinters often appeal only to the old-timers of twi, especially when all they offer is nostalgia and no miracles, no effectual prayer, etc. So, the old-timers may want the second verse to be the same as the first. They want what they know, even if it wasn't working for them before. True twi splinters often offer ONLY nostalgia when it's all they have. If they have no effectual prayer, no miracles, no nothing, and no interested and interesting teachers, all they HAVE is nostalgia. So, that's what they sell. (Mind you, there's ex-twi'ers who see new people and have effectual prayers. Those do NOT rely much on nostalgia, if at all.)

That was the second one. No, seriously, the third was that one.

That's the one.

A) This movie was inspired by the wildly-exaggerated adventures of Ed and Lorraine Warren, alleged exorcists and the like. In this instance, they supposedly investigated a rundown Rhode Island farm house that was the site of some kind of satanic haunting. (2013) If this movie succeeds, it's because it plays like an old school horror movie. Its name is apparently connected with the haunting, but that's not completely obvious just from hearing the name. B) A disgruntled former employee gives a couple's kid a vintage doll. Naturally, vandalism and odd noises at night ensue- the doll's evil. (2015) This one had sequels. The movie shared the doll's name, and he was male. C) An expectant wife is given a vintage doll in a white wedding dress. Their neighbors are attacked by members of a satanic cult. And the doll is evil. (2014.) This one had sequels. Curiously, this one sort-of spun off of- not the 2015 movie, but the 2013 movie mentioned above. The movie shared the doll's name, and she was female.

The Pariah casting makes a lot of sense. The only character I don't recognize is the one next to Elongated Man (other side from Black Lightning.) Is he a show-runner and not a character, or something? Ok, the guy in the extreme top left is Earth-29's Superman (from the "Supergirl" series.) The guy at the bottom right (played by Brandon Routh) is wearing the "Kingdom Come" Superman's outfit. BTW, Lyla isn't a pale blonde, but the actress is Caucasian. https://arrow.fandom.com/wiki/Audrey_Marie_Anderson https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1017524/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Marie_Anderson https://www.allmovie.com/artist/audrey-marie-anderson-p303013/other_appearances https://www.fashionmodeldirectory.com/models/audrey_anderson/ Her "All Movie" featured photo shows her looking pretty pale, as does her Imdb page. She has blue eyes.

That was 1978? Yeah, still in primary school.

Ok, next round. Our category is "evil dolls". Name any movie to take the round. A) This movie was inspired by the wildly-exaggerated adventures of Ed and Lorraine Warren, alleged exorcists and the like. In this instance, they supposedly investigated a rundown Rhode Island farm house that was the site of some kind of satanic haunting. (2013) B) A disgruntled former employee gives a couple's kid a vintage doll. Naturally, vandalism and odd noises at night ensue- the doll's evil. (2015) This one had sequels. C) An expectant wife is given a vintage doll in a white wedding dress. Their neighbors are attacked by members of a satanic cult. And the doll is evil. (2014.) This one had sequels. Curiously, this one sort-of spun off of- not the 2015 movie, but the 2013 movie mentioned above.

Ok, then the song that was on my mind last time I logged in. "Take your baby by the hair, and pull her close and there, there, there. And take your baby by the ears, and play upon her darkest fears."

The whole "keep people in the dark" twi thing probably owes itself to vpw not being too smart, so he controlled the access to knowledge to make it look like he had divine sources to puff himself up. People had to come to him for news and things. For 15-20 years, it's been FAR too easy to get all sorts of news. Before, there was radio, TV, newspapers and so on. The internet's added to that dramatically. Does it surprise anyone that twi STILL says to stay off the internet?

That's them. The sheer number of actors narrowed the possibilities, and eliminating Shakespeare narrowed it further. Jeremy Brett is known primarily for playing Sherlock, and both Robert Downey Jr and Will Farrell played him recently. Ian McKellen played a retired SH in "Mr Holmes" fairly recently. At least twice as many actors as I posted have played him, but I listed the ones you may have heard of (Stewart Granger, John Barrymore....) If you missed this, I was going to add Johnny Lee Miller, Benedict Comberbatch, and Basil Rathbone. In other news, I'm skipping town for about a week, shortly, so I'll rejoin you in about a week. Talk amongst yourselves.

Now, 3 of those names should do it.
