Harvey has Two Faces

This episode was so much fun.  Old school PLL again.

Melissa was awesome in that flashback.

I'm just kinda bummed we only have a year and a half to develop this last arch.

Sparia Frisbee Toss

"Nobody tosses a dwarf".

This season is getting pretty good in-spite of my early reservations.

Mr Postman, PLL reaction

Should be obvious why I thought of that song during Tuesday's PLL.  Of course I'm also someone who'll always affiliate that song to Tauberpa's Legend of Zelda abridged serieses, which are hilarious, PH is the weakest but still had very funny first and last episodes.

I'm totally digging this new "not A" already.  Their gonna be hiding in plain sight with full on Arsene Lupin and The Shadow level master of disguise tactics.  I love it.

And the preview has advertised another Team Sparia name drop.  So I'm excited for the show again.

For people concerned Superman is being shortchanged

For everyone still concerned that Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice is another example of Batman's hype overshadowing what should be Superman's sequel.  Allow me to say this.

As someone who is more of a Batman fan over all, who has been a Batman fan longer then any other piece of Nerddom I'm into.  Who currently considers the greatest movie of all time a Batman movie, who's favorite works of Western Animation that aren't mainly comedic tend to be Batman stuff, who thinks the only really good video games that are adaptations from other source materiel are Batman games, and who's Graphic Novel collection is mostly Batman stories and crossover stories where Batman characters are prominent in some fashion.  As someone who's top ten list of my favorite Comic Book characters includes female Batman characters that still haven't gotten into any adaptations.  As someone who's blogged about Gotham more then many shows I like more simply because the Batman references give me so much to talk about.

As someone who is all of that, in the context of the conflict being set up for this movie I'm firmly on Superman's side.

Batman's view point makes sense given some incarnations of the character, including ones I've liked.  But at the end of the day the audience knows Superman isn't an enemy and Bruce is falling into believing exactly what Lex wants people to believe.

Now you may think, in the context of the DC Universe Clark's objection to Batman is equally wrong.  Well that just reminds me of the paradox between the fiction I like and my real life values.  In real life I'm absolutely again vigilantism.  When enjoying Batman stories I can accept that Gotham needs The Batman.  But that's not sufficient to effect how I'd evaluate a Superman v Batman argument.

So rest assured that while this movie will give us Batman fans plenty to enjoy, it is Superman's story first and foremost.

I'm calling it now (PLL theory)

Alison is Devil Emoji/The new -A.

She thinks the Liars know more then they're letting on and she wants to make them talk.

And Lorenzo might be helping her.

Tuesday TV Reactions

I decided to watch The Flash at 7 and wait for 9:00 for PLL.

The Flash was good this Week, nothing super special however.

The Legends of Tomorrow preview did what it needed to do, I'm still not super interested in the premise.

Kevin Smith's show hyping the DC Movies was fun.  And that Suicide Squad trailer rocked, that song was a brilliant choice, that I personally now always link it to Neon Genesis Evangleion in my mind just made me love it more.

Charlotte's Web was an enjoyable Episode, PLL quickly getting back to what it does well.  I'm still unsure if we're going to get another -A or not.

So that was my Tuesday.  When Rebels returns I'm contemplating adding that to my TV reactions plate, thing is when it's episodes first air I tend to be listening to Flash TV Talk and Panel to Screen live.

Five Years Forward reaction

Sooooooo......

I was enjoying it for awhile, I made this Tumblr post.

Then the spoiler happened

Spoilers Below!!!!!




Charlotte is "dead".  Even though I'm 99% certain she's not really, it doesn't matter right now.

I strongly defended how Game Over Charles was handled, I enjoyed it, I understand why a lot of Trans women and men and their allies were bothered by it.  But it made me sympathize with her in-spite of all she'd done.  While I've been a support of Trans rights since well before then, this was the first time a fictional depiction of a Trans character ever fully won me over. (I liked what I saw of Adam on Degrassi but he still felt like a prop for Fiona's story-line.)

What both I and fans who were far more offended then me but still wanted to give the show a shot were waiting for all this time was to see Charlotte get a chance at a normal life and earn the forgiveness of the Liars.  Instead we got this.

I've declared this my Favorite TV show of all time.  So I bugs me now to see it start to fall from grace.  I kinda wish the show had just ended with 6A.
