Emma Frost: Three students were missing from my ethics class. Seventeen overall. Logan had to break up two fistfights and a mystical swordfight.

Supergirl: Okay, let's review. You, Brainiac 5, while experimenting on a supposedly "magical" statue, bombarded it with timestream energy, thereby summoning an alien death goddess.
Brainiac 5: Mm.
Supergirl: Then, when she shows up and starts possessing our friends, your first inclination is not to stay and fight, but run away into the timestream. Which pretty much ensures that she enslaves the entire Earth.
Brainiac 5: Oh, I doubt the entire Earth's been enslaved by this point, Supergirl. I mean, she's only had a few days.

Will Smith was now excited about starring, though, and red-hot Michael Bay wanted to direct.

Within days, Michael Bay was out and the Hughes Brothers had been brought aboard to direct.

"A continuation on our previous report about a Blinking Light up on the Mountain: As many of you noted, the very nature of our report indicated the existence of a Mountain – which is surprising, given that we live in vast, desert flatness. So yes, there is a Mountain. Let’s start there. There is a Mountain now, rising up out of the alluvial Floodplain.
(later that episode)
Ah-hah! We have some sharp listeners! Several of you noted that the strangeness of today does not end with the Blinking Light up on the Mountain, or the Mountain itself, but also this vast, muddy plain it rises from. So yes: we are now reporting that there is a great Floodplain, strewn with bones, around our city. Its wet patches glint slightly when the Blinking Light is illuminated. [...] The mud ripples under the footsteps of the approaching Masked Army, and this warps the reflections in interesting ways.
(still later that episode)
All right, we’re really gonna get it right this time. We have been focusing too narrowly, and we realize that. As many of you pointed out, we should have spent less time on the blinking light, and more time expanding on the bit about the approaching Masked Army. Ladies and gentlemen, here is what we know: There is a Blinking Light up on the Mountain. There is a Mountain on the Floodplain. There is a Floodplain under the Imminent Army. There is an Imminent Army maybe a couple of hours’ march from here. I do not believe, now, that we are leaving anything out."

Deekin: I like gnomes, / So dumb and fat, / Fat and dumb / In burrows like moles / Shoot 'em full of arrows / Put 'em on a stick / That's why I like gnomes.
Grobnar: My word. Just hearing that gives me the shivers.
Qara: I'll bet that could have shattered a castle wall.
Sand: Well, that cleared my sinuses.
Shandra Jerro: How... pleasant. Now Grobnar, I'm sure he didn't m...
Grobnar: I say, this is... genius. The tone, the tempo. You can almost feel the angst and pain of the gnomes as they are filled with arrows... and put on sticks. And the theme of the piece... now, that is tragedy, in its deepest, most primal form. And the climax, the uplifting portion, where the affirmation of liking gnomes is confirmed... And then brought full circle with the physical and emotional double meaning of them being in the mind and in the stomach. Amazing. I say, traveling to Neverwinter with you all has really been broadening my horizons — who would have thought I'd get to meet a kobold author and playwright!

Chris: This, by the way, is one of my favorite things about this era: Batman has a hidden panel in his house, he hides the switch to open it, he says all the time that if his identity were revealed, it would compromise his effectiveness as a crimefighter... but he keeps the Bat-Phone just straight up sitting on his desk.
David: Well, it’s plausible that he just likes red phones! In serving trays!

The fans' chants of “BORING” have now turned to “Fire Russo!” Funny backstory there: following this encounter, Dixie Carter did an interview saying how dumb the fans were since Russo didn’t even book this. She did not follow up by saying how stupid she herself was for putting on such a match that had fans chanting for someone to be on the unemployment line.

I own a computer store. One day, two policemen came into the store and told that they owned a 486 and a 286. They asked if a 486 and a 286 could be assembled together into a 686. I replied to the dumb request by asking them if two 200 horsepower police cars can be used to make up a 400 horsepower Ferrari. The policemen didn't get it and replied angrily that altering car engines is strictly forbidden by law.

The first step to ending racism is obvious… to ban Magic: The Gathering cards. Wizards of the Coast has taken brave steps to ban seven cards from their game, which depict some of the worst things in history. The Crusades, imprisonment… and gypsies. The most notable banning, of course, being "Invoke Prejudice", which- Oh, wow. (cut to close up of the card’s art, which features figures in robes and Ku Klux Klan-esque masks, with one of them wielding a giant axe) Okay, yeah, uh… If you’re a white player playing with this card, well, the problem is kinda obvious… it costs 4 blue mana, and if you’re splashing white in a blue deck, well, I know you’re privileged. Dual lands, you rich bitch!
