BULL! CHRISTENSON! UP ON LINE!

I have a few movie/TV quotes I randomly blurt out without any context or warning, and that's one of them. Another is the way Joe says 'I gotta get up' after his legs, another is how Doc Roe says 'you don't need these, I do' about some scissors, and another is how Babe says 'it's not, it's not okay' after Julian gets hit.

Come to think of it, most of them seem to be from Band of Brothers. I should rewatch Band of Brothers...

Michael Cudlitz is probably the nicest celebrity I have ever met.

I went to get something signed by him and his booth had no line. He was just chillin in front of his own booth standing there by himself.

He has a full 5 minute conversation with me and was just a genuine down to earth dude.

I have met a lot of celebrities at conventions. My general rule is "don't meet your heroes" but man this guy breaks the mold.

monty_kurns t1_j5pncp2 wrote

One time a friend and I were standing around at a con away from the celebrities but not quite in with the vendors when Michael Cudlitz walks by. My friend just said, "hey, what's up?" and he stopped and just started chatting with us for a few minutes. We just asked how he was enjoying the con and what he was up to in our city, but didn't talk about his work. I think he appreciated that and was just able to have a normal conversation in the middle of the con.

I've met quite a few people at cons and for the most part the celebrities have been pretty good with only one or two negative experiences. But Cudlitz was definitely one of the nicest experiences.

youdontknowme6 t1_j5qupev wrote

My negative experience has to be Lou Ferrigno. I genuinely was a fan growing up hearing stories from my older brother. Seeing him in a hulk film made me want to meet him more.

$80 for an autograph and he couldn't be bother to look at me. Just said "oh one of these" signed my item, tossed it back at me on to the table and says "next!"

Wish I never met the dude.

I've been to several cons over the years and Carey elwes takes the cake for me because he's the only one who asked for me and my friends names when getting pictures.

Michael rooker also seems like he just has a lot of fun at these events. Most of the celebrities I see at these things seem like they are having fun but stan Lee ended up being the only one that just seemed burned out and if he wasn't then his "handlers" sure made sure it seemed like was only there for the payday because we were told not to talk to him, don't make eye contact and stand three feet away from him.

Wait, what? Have I completely blocked out my memories of the final season? I LOVED Southland, but admittedly got tired of NBC (and eventually TNT) jerking us around with whether or not there would be a next season. By the time Cooper's "did he die?" scene aired, I was exhausted and checked out.

capnflacid t1_j5q8vvk wrote

Yeah if I remember right, Ben bent some rules (i think they stole a video tape or gave false testimony) to help his partner get custody of his son. The partner was feeling guilty and was going to come clean. Ben didn't like that/didn't want to get in trouble. He had his girlfriends brother break into said partners house to steal evidence. Brother ends up killing the nanny. Ben then has to cover that up and lie to his partner about it. Partner finds out in the last episode and they fight each other. That's all I remember.

Cooper getting shot was the last season unfortunately.

He wanted to redeem himself and play a proper villain.

Cryer played Lex on Supergirl for 3 seasons. His performance was a highlight despite some shoddy writing. A solid mix of modern day arrogant super genius Luthor with dashes of the Hackman dark sense of humor and retro Luthor gadgets.

Wait, yeah… isn’t Jon Cryer the Lex in this universe?

I admittedly haven’t seen a ton of DC television and I didn’t watch any of the big Crises crossover a few years ago that may or may not have explained it, but I know that Jon Cryer was the Lex in Supergirl and that Tyler Hoechlin was Superman on the show.

DMPunk t1_j5pr51a wrote

The Superman show is on a different Earth from the Supergirl show. I'm not entirely sure why they did that, and why they waited until the end of season 2 to make that clarification, but it is a different universe

11

numb3rb0y t1_j5ps6q8 wrote

Well, it wasn't a clarification, it was a retcon. Like 2 episodes earlier they had John Diggle guest dealing with an ongoing issue on the other shows.

The producer said they did it because with the final Flash season, the Arrowerverse is dead and they didn't want to be anchored to it.

20

ItsADeparture t1_j5r3ul9 wrote

The funny part is that the SM&L producer even said "this version of Diggle is different and we show this by giving him longer hair and a beard."

He showed up on The Flash a few weeks earlier with the same exact hair and beard.

Prax150 t1_j5qib06 wrote

Cryer was low key a fantastic Lex Luthor but I guess they don't want to associate the show to the Arrowverse? Like the Arrowverse has a Clark Kent that looks like Tyler Hoechlin but I guess that's a different Clark Kent than the one from Superman & Lois?

Something tells me there's a conflict there and that's why he's not being cast, just like they passed on him when CW was doing a huge crossover with Tom Welling & Erica Durance involved (among others).

linkman0596 t1_j5pr31r wrote

He already talked about why he turned down being in crisis. Apparently they called him and asked for an almost immediate answer despite not having a script or any idea of what they actually would with him if he agreed, and he got the call when he was at the hospital visiting a relative potentially on their death bed.

15

stumpcity t1_j5phmw4 wrote

I don’t think they ever considered Rosenbaum, it’s probably not so much a conflict as it is just not a consideration. IIRC Cryer said he was the first option but there were conflicts with another show he was already contracted to.

So far as the Crisis crossover I believe Rosenbaum didn’t get looped in because he basically had a quote that production just wouldn’t meet. They did reach out but he wanted more money than they were willing to spend. Which is fine! Rosenbaum asked for his worth and when they said nah, he said fine. It’s probably nothing personal at all

12

[deleted] t1_j5q7hs6 wrote

I think Rosenbaum said in an interview that they offered him a role in the Crisis crossover, but he only had a short time to accept it and the writers didn't even know how they were going to use him. So he decided to pass.

Does he really have much worth in the acting world these days? All he does is his podcast.

He’s got a lot of very good guests, even though he’s a pretty bad host himself. Much like Lex Fridman now that I think about it… Fortunately the guests are always interesting to make up for that!

Sentry459 t1_j5s4kj9 wrote

Oh I don't watch a lot of podcasts but I think he does a great job, what makes him a bad host to you?

toughtacos t1_j5t6480 wrote

Which one? 😄 Rosenbaum isn’t terrible, but I never feel like he does any research on the guests he doesn’t know intimately from before, beforehand, and makes a lot of assumptions and the guests often end up correcting him. Maybe that doesn’t make him a bad host, but I think it makes for awkward moments. I like him as a person and actor, just not so much as a podcast host.

Fridman on the other hand is just a clout chaser who loves so surround himself with successful people and thrives on being able to say sentences starting or ending with, “my friend Elon/Rogan/Peterson/etc” 😁

Rosenbaum is also really good friends with James Gunn. Who is now in charge of the DCEU and apparently, rumor has it, directing the next Superman movie.

In season 2 Diggle’s different.

Basically the CW verse is most likely ending and the S&L creative team wanted to make them separate for some reason I guess?

neoblackdragon t1_j5pus0r wrote

Mostly likely?

The Flash was the last show standing and it ends this season.

Make sense not to depend on a long continuity, especially with how Supergirl ended.

Even Stargirl ended before it could attempt a crossover(reusing Jay Garrick).

If the show continues, i wouldn't be surprised if it goes to streaming.

Pre-Crisis they just recently had Baby Jon and were engaged not married. At the end of Crisis they seem to be married and apparently now have two boys.

At the end of S & L S2 it went out of it's way to establish it's not Arrowverse. Officially the fact that Clark, Lois, Lucy Lane and Diggle are the same actors is due to different Earth dopplegangers. It's a retcon but what they're going with. So Arrowverse Clark and Lois haven't officially been seen since the end of Crisis.

I thought it was fine to pretty good at times just not as great as season one. The “villain” that was introduced pretty early on was one of the better parts of the season, as was his storyline. The overarching villain wasn’t that great.

I’d say some of the strengths and reason why I liked season one were still there, that being the great portrayal of Superman/Clark by Tyler Hoechlin. As well as Lois, John Henry, Jordan, Tal-Rho, and then Natalie was a pretty good addition to the show also. The relationship drama was not good and I hope season 3 doesn’t have much of it. I’d say overall the season is worth watching for sure.

Something really odd I find with Superman & Lois is the 2 boys Lois and Clark have, the makeup they wear make it look like they're wearing makeup, like you would when putting makeup on a lady going out for the evening.

I also wonder if this is foreshadowing S3 as the end. Lex Luthor is pivotal to Superman's story, and to now get him on, I wonder if they're planning for the end.

They cast Abe from the Walking Dead/the guy who plays John DiMaggio in real life! Thats rad, he was my favorite character.

That’s an interesting choice. He is usually solid in everything, I look forward to seeing what he does with it.

I'm calling it. He's going to be as good a Luthor as Vince D'Onofrio is as Kingpin.

He's one of those actors I don't recognize as famous, because I have a friend that looks so much like him. So much so that if I saw him, I'd probably be like "oh hey Gary, what's up?" and then be disappointed it wasn't Gary 😄

It’s a fun show but after two years of “oh finally a good Superhero show from CW not like all the stupid shitty Arrowverse shows!” to watch it and find exactly the same shit you’d expect from Arrow or Flash was a little surprising. Did all these people who hate Flash and Arrow but love Superman and Lois actually watch Flash and Arrow, or did they just let the internet tell them they hated it?

Arrow was great until Flash started, and Flash was good until they made Legends. It was like with each new show starting all the writers jumped ship and all the creative efforts were focused on the new one. I never watched Batwoman or Supergirl but Arrow and Flash became trash by then once there were 5 shows in the universe to pay attention to.

What happened to Jon Cryer? Was he not already established as Lex with this Superman? And I'm pretty sure it's the same universe because Diggle from Arrow appears in S1.

It’s a different universe. That Diggle is a variant

Is he? Or are we just saying that because nothing makes sense anymore lol

I'm pretty sure it's the latter because after Crisis there weren't supposed to be doppelgangers anymore 🤷‍♂️

You say "same universe" as Diggle even though Diggle is Arrowverse Earth-1 and Supergirl/Superman were from Earth-38 up until Crisis, which unfortunately due to the pandemic, resulted in not much crossover. After the events of Crisis, Superman (now living on Earth Prime) is on the phone with Lois and is surprised at Lois mentioning the twins instead of the one baby they just had. On top of that, S&L has them as teens and clearly not 15 years in the future, so it's not post-crisis Earth-Prime that merged at least Earth-1 and Earth-38, while still clearly leaving the realities of Titans, Doom Patrol, and S&L separate.

Good, between Eisenberg and Cryer, I'm tired of the skinny dweeb Lex. I want someone intimidating physically and mentally.

Not a fan of either of those portrayals but skinny, dweeb Lex is closer to the truth for an egomaniac, billionaire.

What is this ends up being some sort of Justice Lords timeline but instead of incineration, Superman grabs a bat and beats his brains out.

How the hell are they going to explain that a Lex Luthor that looks like Jon Cryer is the same as one who looks like Michael Cudlitz? 😂

ranhalt t1_j5qbjly wrote

Same way they explain that Adrian Pasdar was Morgan Edge in Earth-38 and Adam Rayner was Tal-Rho adopting the name Morgan Edge in Earth-TUD25. S&L is separate from anything connected to the Arrowverse and the Tyler Hoechlin Superman we see in Arrowverse Earth-38/Earth Prime is completely separate from Superman Earth-TUD25.
