Vaguly off-topic but look at Gail Simone's Twitter and tell me how cute the Catman on the side-panel is?

I'd listen to an all outtakes episode.

Congrats that it's something good as well as opposed to it having Chuck Austen's run on X-Men.

HarperCollins is. It's all levels of something not pleasant.

I think I just got a little bit sick.

I swear you and Mike had a conversation on a previous episode about how every villain in Gotham could get a blimp it seemed like. Sorry, was kinda vague.

Hell's yeah. Actually, I'd say In Space is the best season if for no other reason that it has character development out the ass, the villains are more than campy or one dimensional, and, well, the entire Psycho Rangers arc was kinda awesome.

So, just going to defend some of the villains motivations in two of the episodes. In the case of Madelyn Spaulding, do keep in mind that Virgil hung a lampshade on her evil scheme by mentioning your exact point about the inanity of her evil plot and then she even points this out towards the end by suggesting that if she succeeds, she might decide to go further. In the case of Harley and Ivy, maybe they realized finally that Batman kept on kicking their asses and decided they needed some extra ammo that hired goons couldn't accomplish. Desperate people are willing to do anything. Make them do something and when you can't follow through, kill them. Ally was probably just the first Bang Baby to have the capital to contact them or there was a prior one and that's how Bruce caught wind of what was going on. By the way, I'm surprised you guys didn't call attention to Harley and Ivy's blimp.

Suave, this might be the song you're thinking of (though it has little to do with the Zords despite the song being entitles Zords.) Personally, I think might be a better match but that's just me. I'd be excited if it was Johnny Yong Bosch but I never cared all that much for Tommy. I really didn't care when he was pretty much kicked off the show and I only watched Dino Thunder for the slight continuity of seeing the character again. So, I'm only excited to see his face get kicked in by someone other than a foam rubber monster.

Ehh, got a point there. The snorks did have the advantage of having a vampire snork.

You just say that because the Snorks were, by virtue of having females that weren't the result of dark magic, not a species that reproduced through gay sex.

I can't help but notice that this thread has devolved into us coming up with more creative ways to cover up our rampant swearing with the word "smurf." That said, smurf it all to smurf. Eat smurf and die. You are such a smurf. I want to smurf your smurf. Sorry, that last one was smurfed up.

I had never seen Total Recall except when it was on TV. Wow, it's a lot more graphic when it isn't cut up like a paper doll.

Well, that looks likes a smurfing piece of smurf-sucking, smurfy, smurftastic, smurfer, Chuck Austen, horse smurf!

Today's Shortpacked:

I would read that just to see Miley Cyrus get her face repulser rayed off. One thing I haven't heard about is how this affects Disney's agreement with Boom! Studios. Are they going to lose their license now? Conflict of interests.

What we might get out of the Disney/Marvel merger: MODUCK.

Newsarama is saying that Disney is following the business model they have with Pixar where Disney is mainly hands-off. Also, Pixar's CEO has already met with some of the Marvel personnel and ideas are already starting to form out of this. I am suddenly hoping for a Disney/Pixar Power Pack movie.

I just got so excited. Greg Berger, who was the voice of Grimlock in the Generation 1 Transformers cartoon, is going to be at Mid-Ohio Con this year. Yeah! In other news, trying to decide what cons to go to next year and debating between Wizard World Chicago or the new Con they're trying to get going in Chicago.

I will say that the nice thing I'm hoping for is that we get a decent continuation of the Gargoyles comic now that we no longer need to worry about licensing and all that like when SLG was releasing it. Other than that, I don't think there will be much change for either company. Disney has any of three studios it can release something out of (Walt Disney Pictures, Miramax, and Touchstone). Touchstone and Miramax release pg-13 and R rated movies all the time. Hell, even Disney released Pirates of the Caribbean which was PG-13. Marvel's film division will probably get some new blood but I doubt that we'll have a massive overhaul of the structure. BTW, does this mean that we can see The Incredibles get retitled Fantastic Four?

They're selling cranberry Sierra Mist again. Ah, my vodka bottle will run empty soon.

On the bright side, Harley will be there, right?

Huge spoilers for Series 5 from io9. Also includes a voice clip of Matt Smith in character as 11.

And because Tim, of all of Batman's former acolytes, is probably the best detective. With both Vic and Ralph dead, and Bruce gone , I'd say that firmly puts Tim as the best detective in the DC Universe.

Anyone ever notice that in the first Lion King there are only three male lions and they're all pretty much direct blood relatives? We have a shitload of lionesses and three males so there's a lot of inbreeding going on there.
