Superman: My cousin... died recently--
Superboy-Prime: Kara? Supergirl really died? Not a hoax? Not a dream? Not an imaginary story?

Summer: Okay, I'm with Flynn. This is so weird.
Ziggy: "Weird"? Okay - you cruise around in a giant yellow teddy-bear, okay?! I drive a big green FISH! Look in the mirror, people, we're in no position to be sitting in judgment of anything weird!

"Troughton's Doctor was in some ways the audience's agent inside the narrative, but Baker's is nobody's agent — a force that stalks the liminal space between audience and narrative, commenting freely on both."
"This is all very touching, guys, but where do I fit in? Ven looks just like Roxas—or is it Roxas looks just like Ven? And now I have to explain all of that to him—which is in itself a crazy long story—and, apparently everybody already knows everyone, and this is an insane amount to get memorized!"
