Except for Doctor Who, I’m not planning on watching anything now.
As much as I liked The Gifted last season, I missed the premiere and the episodes for this season.
I did watch the premiere of Supergirl, but I have no plans to watch that regularly, though I’ll more than likely watch the Elseworlds crossover episodes on the CW.
I must have been busy. Or lazy. Both?
I spent part of my weekend cleaning stuff around the house, like the upstairs bathroom, among other locations.
I’ve been hitting my elliptical for about 10-20 minutes for the past week. I hope to make it back up to 30+ minutes, if not more.
I caught up with my TV watching, the CW DC shows are surprisingly keeping me interested. Black Lightning is good, so far.
I used my instant pot TWICE in one weekend, making some chicken in salsa thing, and pork ribs. Both turned out pretty good.
More games that I’ll (maybe) eventually play came in.
More porgs were acquired. And dice.
And it’s almost February. Yikes.
In 1963, DC Comics began an annual crossover story involving the Justice League of Earth-One and the Justice Society of Earth-Two.
It was called “Crisis on Earth-[fill in the blank]”
Details here.
S2 E22: “Nevertheless, She Persisted.”
This entire season was head and shoulders better than the 1st season. There was the introduction of so many great characters, including the Man of Steel himself, Kara’s cousin Kal-El a.k.a. Superman/Clark Kent. And Mon-El, who grew on me as the season went on. Maggie Sawyer. Lena Luthor.
This finale was great, with a real roller coaster of emotions for a DC fanboy like myself. Winn’s reaction to Superman recognizing him, the fight between the Kryptonians, Cat Grant doing Cat Grant things, all of it was fun to watch. It’s still a toss up on who is more my spirit animal in these CW DCU shows, Cisco or Winn.
They appear to be setting up something that I’ve been hoping to see, involving the future of the DC Universe. Meanwhile, they’re setting up something more recent from the comics as well.
I’m looking forward to next season already.
Thoughts after last night’s Supergirl episode:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
—
Watched 10 minutes of Logan Noir, it looks great.
—
Mind control? Disguised Daxamite? #supergirlthoughts
—
Is the current popularity of Star Wars sapping away my interest in Star Trek? Or is it the debacle that is Star Trek Discovery?

How do you like your eggs?
I received so many items for so many different games yesterday, and stupidly tried to go through all of them last night.
Big mistake.
I couldn’t focus on one thing or another, in addition to attempting to play the second mission of the Phantom Leader campaign that I started. It was a total failure, all planes shot down, but only because I forgot to employ a couple of rules, like pilot EVADE. Whoops.
I guess I’ll rerun the mission sometime soon.
I sorted the cards and punched the counters for Warfighter. I skimmed the rules.
I attempted to figure out how to run a fight in the Batman Miniatures Game. I also found a box to store all the miscellaneous markers and templates for the game.
I opened up the Starfire Gorm-Khanate War expansion. I almost punched the counters.
I assembled and primed the miniatures that I got from Crossover Miniatures, including the one I’m using for The Koala in Mutants and Masterminds.
Meanwhile, I was watching the Warriors/Thunder game, Supergirl and 24: Legacy. Good to see Oded Fehr back on TV.
There’s simply not enough time in a day to do everything that I’d like to do.
As a side note, this morning I ordered a few counter trays for all the wargames that I’ve picked up in the last couple of weeks. Odd that you’d have to pay extra for counter trays, they used to come with the games, back in the day.
And Knight Models got back to me regarding the Superman miniature defect, they’ll be sending me a replacement part in a couple of weeks, so I’ll just put off assembly until then. Yay!
All this with baseball approaching.
See why I can’t podcast?
