Half the country (at least) is dealing with snow right now, and I don’t want to be just one more blogger talking about it. In fact, the more I think about it, the less I want to talk about it or post pictures. The pictures aren’t that exciting. You’ve all seen snow before.
Let’s talk about TV instead! Specifically, the new Legends of Tomorrow show. We watch The Flash and Arrow (although we enjoy The Flash more), and they do crossover shows a couple of times a season. They’re definitely happening in the same universe, which is fun. There was a pair of crossovers this season meant to introduce a couple of characters who were going to be in Legends of Tomorrow, characters I’ve never heard of and who sound pretty dumb (Hawkgirl and Hawkman). Legends of Tomorrow premiered recently (this week or last week, maybe?), and we watched it this morning. I was excited to watch it, and I’m still excited even though the pilot was not that great BECAUSE Arthur Darvill is in it. Love him from Doctor Who, love him MORE from that panel he was on at Awesome Con last summer, and I will love him as Rip Hunter, another character I’ve never heard of. But Rip Hunter appears to be a cross between the Doctor and Mal from Firefly, and that’s very cool, and that makes me very willing to give this show some time to get better. The other characters on the show (at least in the pilot) are a combination of B and C team heroes from The Flash and Arrow (with maybe lots more crossovers?). I have no idea if they’re permanent cast members, but it’ll be fun to find out.
(I like TV. I like comic book TV. I like crossover TV. I am a nerd.)
