Dag-nabbit! You got me all excited!

But it's a cute scene, otherwise.

[autumn_lily]

I know! I was expecting either Hal, Guy, or Kyle in a skimpy pink outfit!

[zordboy]

And I was hoping for Kyle in a skimpy pink outfit, at that ^_^.

[autumn_lily]

He'd be chased by many women. Now if Nightwing were to become a Star Sapphire? Dick would be chased by, well, EVERYONE.

[big_daddy_d]

Notice the pervert kid standing a little too close and watching.

[sinorhizobium]

LOL. Geez, that kid is like, ENTHRALLED, by Guy's ass. XD

[supergirl]

My exact thought. Where the hell is his hand? It looks like he's taking great joy in whizzing all over Guy's boots back there.

[icon_uk]

Which is especially odd, because in the famous VJ Day photograph that this scene is very obviously homaging/riffing on there's no kid

[sinisterlink]

I always loved this scene. I liked how she was trying to explain to him that she had, you know, been dead for awhile and that was kind of affecting her and she just needed time to sort stuff out, but Guy is just like, "But I want to get back together nooooooow!" Love this couple.

And in the episode about the argument over who gets to keep the genuine movie "Lord of the Rings" ring they find at a garage sale, Sheldon wears an Orange Lantern shirt throughout.

[oldmanrain]

That is genius. Is the show actually any good? I've heard mixed reviews.

[icon_uk]

I'm a big fan, though if one more person in real life says I remind them of a slightly milder (usually) version of Sheldon I will demonstrate why a Red Lantern shirt might be a handy thing to have too!

[darkblade]

Only if you wear all the crops' shirts in layers so you can change on demand.

The show is generally excellent. It didn't start that way, but they course-corrected during the first season and now are firing on all cylinders. They consult actual scientists and nerds to get the details right. The humor generally comes from the situations...and while some of the humor is about the nerdiness, it's not mean-spirited.

Example: Last night's episode concerned the aftermath of Leonard's breakup with Penny. When Sheldon asks about it in conversation, one of the friends mentions that Leonard has been talking about trying to research creating the memory-eraser for Men-in-Black, to which Sheldon replies "Has he had any success? I'd like to forget Ben Affleck as Daredevil." to which the friend replies "I think Ben Aflleck would like to forget Ben Affleck as Daredevil."

I was a bit disappointed in the first season's Halloween episode. they couldn't figure out how all four of them could be the Flash and still be four different characters?

[aeolos_sakya]

I've watched that episode dozen of times and I didn't realize that until now.

The show is fantastic if you're a geek. Non-geeks tend not to understand the in-jokes and references and don't understand why the focus is on the nerds and not normal people. If you're a geek, this is your life from the comic shop to the cosplay, you laugh yourself sick at all the tidbits like Sheldon's Star Sapphire shirt, and you feel validated at seeing geeks portrayed as successful people for once.

The show is also awesome because it's about acceptance. Instead of condemning the nerds for being nerdy (she did that once and it backfired), the Mundane Girl tries to understand their culture and eventually starts to fit in with them. Best of all is the treatment of Sheldon, widely considered to be the poster boy for Asperger's Syndrome. The main characters all accept Sheldon's Aspie quirks like his defined schedule, precise requirements for tea, and Why Sheldon's Seat is Sheldon's Seat. It's a great show and I highly recommend it for geeks, especially comics geeks.

Didn't he wear a Red Lantern shirt? I don't recall seeing an Orange Lantern shirt. :x

[icon_uk]

I would have sworn it was an orange Lantern but a google search does seem to imply it's a Red one... time to check my monitors colour balances.

[celestialchild]

You lied. FML.

[retro_nouveau]

Wonder!Sheldon last week, now Sapphire!Sheldon. I love Sheldon, but of all the people I want to see dressed as a Sapphire...

The legality scan still tugs at my heart. Love the way Guy handled it. Can't wait for Generation Lost -- there better be a lot of Chinese take-out, or bed, or both.

[shadowpsykie]

Wait what?

[punishermax]

Guardians in the street and roaming
Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming
Larfleeze caged in the heart of a city
The body in the refrigerator
Rotting near the chuck, ground
He fled the town

~Guy pours bourbon over his head as he sways drunkingly~

Sinistro Corps lived by the side of the lake
The Guardian's daughter's in love with the snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road
Wake up, girl! We're almost home

~he pulls off his shirt and sways towards Ice~

sun sun sun
burn burn burn
burn, burn, burn,
i will get you
soon,
soon,
soon

i am the lizard king
i can do anything

I was actually prepared to rant how it's unfair and sexist that Male Star Sapphire has so much clothes on and wahwahwah, and you tricked me. Good one, Sir, good one *slow, sarcastic claps*

[darkblade]

A proper male Star Sapphire would wear a speedo and possible wear his ring under it.

[mad]

Could you please include the title and issue number of your comic scan?

Thank you.

[shadowpsykie]

Ok done, That okay? Could of Sworn I did that... Oh well :)

[mad]

Yup, that's great. Thanks muchly!

[mad]

Whoops. That should've been my mod-icon...

[mad]

Wait, does this make Ice the Lizard Queen??

[punishermax]

"Uh sir can you tell me where my other leg is? Uh sir? Okay..just keep kissing her okay/. Wanna help me find my leg? Lotta pain here"

[darkblade]

No! Larfleeze never gives back background man's leg. Larfleeze demands more legs! All legs are belong to Larfleeze!

[aeolos_sakya]

...

That's going to become a meme, isn't it?

[darkblade]

I thought Larfleeze stealing everything that isn't nailed down or on fire already was.

[ladytalon1]

I got yer male Sapphire right here.

[victory_or_death]

A naked (but for a pair of pink gloves) Star Sapphire uniform would seem to be appropriate for Guy Gardner...

[zordboy]

I'm both terrified and slightly turned on.
