Won't pretend that I'm unique with the bw/supergirl connection. ***** was obvious to anyone, but yeah. Dat timing.
Barry has shown a propensity to follow Oliver's lead, so there's that, plus the trailer has Wells present so... plus, well, aren't they doing Flashpoint for the season finale? We might be getting alternative timeline cold heatwave, or it's a Dr who thing where every mission puts them back at their home point
Back to The Dig Lantern, Stewart style GL is going to be easier if the fx budget, plus the tone of the show isn't exactly "giant catchers mitt" at all. We will see that when, I dunno, they let Cisco or felicity use the ring super briefly, but otherwise no.
Green Diggle needs to exist. Like, now. **** Hal, give me Stewart/Diggle.
Its almost hilarious how terrible supergirls trailer is. It's like they made the SBL Black Widow trailer into its own show.
I just want a scene with Rory and cold snarkiness over 9000 and I could die a happy man. I hope they find a way for him to still be a flash villain. He is kind of important in that regard
Indeed, and it turned bittersweet with the final ending for him
I never thought she'd survive the season. Powerset was a mess and she consistently pissed off the wrong people. I hope G-Man makes it
Wasn't that surprised. As soon as the hand started to turn I knew why Mac had had that axe the entire time. He can't die, you know? I really hope he gets a repulsor or something.
Oh she's fine, relax, its a thematic upset. She who hates powers, is powers
Maybe too much of their budget goes towards the cast and the ******* plane
Also, while I really enjoyed the CGI gorilla, there is a reason they mostly kept him in dark, confined spaces and let him act through a proxy for the first act of the story.
All the points where he had to interact with anything were a little cheesy looking. Still fantastic, especially on a CW budget, but this was nowhere close to movie quality. Unless you haven't seen Rise of the Planet of the Apes. In which case, please go watch that. It's great
If they scrap their anti-immigration agenda they lose one of their big motivational whips though
And its not like the Tea Party wing is going to go along with changing a policy viewpoint to win an election. They have a big focus on ideological purity.
The left also tends to do a better job keeping our fringe crazies from actually driving policy, too.
Citation needed?
If you lean left, you will tend to think left-leaning policies are more mainstream and less fringe. If you lean right, you will tend to think right-leanng policies are more mainstream and less fringe. If you lean libertarian like me, you will think left-leaning social policies are mainstream and left-leaning economic policies are fringe. And so forth.
The policies you personally favor will tend to seem more mainstream to you, and the policies you personally disfavor will tend to seem more fringe.
Can I cite myself as source because I work in campaign management? My area of expertise is running field campaigns along with the campaign version of copy writing.
I'm well aware that perspective plays an issue. I've also been the guy who gets to smile and nod at the insane people who think we should be unpaving cities because something something the environment, not fluoridating our water, GMO's and Monsanto are evil, the only good food is organic. The list goes on and its part of my job to keep them knocking on doors and turning out to vote even though none of our reps (and I live in Washington) are going to try and actually ban GMOs.
It got to a certain point during this last election cycle that my pitch during calltime to volunteers got, just, insanely vague. "Neither of us want the wrong person to be in office" kind of things and these people who vote for the "standard liberal" even though the individual people I'd get to come out and knock on doors were significantly to the left of both the candidate and myself. Hell, the candidate was a fiscal conservative in a 50/50 district (most electorally balanced in the state) and half, or more, of my persuasion to the vols was that we didn't want a real insane person to take over because of ~lots of area specific reasons that I don't want to belabor and you don't care about~
Sadly we lost. It was a bad year for Democrats and the local head of the tea party and former republican county chair outspent us 3 to 1 and we lost by just over 1000 votes in a district that had a normal (51%, relatively good compared to the 36% national average)
This isn't one of those "I can't believe he won, none of my friends voted for him" things.
@Blinking Spirit,
It might not be control so much as the big tent approach that the Democrat party has taken, and our lack of cohesion between our positions, means that on the national level, even at the state level, there isn't enough support for the really wonky stuff. Plus because of the big tent our candidates are trying to appease a more diverse constituency group which is going to sand off some of the edges. There are quite a few factors that play into how democrats have done a better job at keeping our fringe crazies from driving policy.
I should clarify that I'm not going smaller than the state legislature size when I say this. Going to small towns you can get huge variance in a city council race or whatever, like with your example of Berkeley, but its largely irrelevant as far as the parties themselves are concerned. Think Asimov's foundation and Psychohistory. Policy here, and my statement had a problem of knowledge thing coupled with my preference for being brief, is not any policy, but electoral policy. The stuff done by people with some modicum of real power.
There will always be the Berkeley's and Portland's, but their influence barely holds in their own city sometimes (you should have seen how the Portland city mayor, also the chief of police, handled Occupy :-/) and its not like Portlands anti-fluoride non-sense tracks over to basically anywhere else in the country. I know I should have a Berkeley example here that hasn't tracked over to make my point, but that would involve me knowing what Berkeley does on a regular basis and I just don't care to know anything about the goings on of the Berkeley city council.

I really expected Ollie to throw her body in the laz pit in this last episode

I'm digging World Trigger currently, one of the few things I'm watching weekly. Kuroko's Basketball is my current "marathon this *****" anime.
When suernatural battles become commonplace was good. Log Horizon, SAO Season 2
Yowamushi pedal was pretty fantastic.
What kind of genre's do you want?
Their netcode, or something, is so ******* terrible, that no matter how good your computer is random issues could make the game into a slideshow.
+1 at the SC2 characters being bland
Fenix was my homeboy. One of the most heart wrenching things I experienced as a teen playing video games.
And its not like the Tea Party wing is going to go along with changing a policy viewpoint to win an election. They have a big focus on ideological purity.
And the nice was turned away as a slash, not a stab, which matters
