the greatest insult

So I am reading the Blackest Night: Wonder Woman miniseries, because I miss the high political drama of Wonder Woman as written by Greg Rucka. Plus, the BN: Superman mini was self contained enough I could follow it without reading the core event books, and I am hopeful this is a trend.

It's not, but the first issue is entertaining enough I'm willing to scan through the other 2 for bits that make sense. They are scattered thinly, among confusing character reads and questionable costume redesigns.

But what sticks with me is this bit:



If even Wonder Woman is offended at being called a girl, what hope have any of us?
 

ETA: Feels backwards, but discussion on LJ.

The things I suffer for love

I've just watched the Smallville episode Checkmate because of how it stars Amanda Waller. I made it all the way through this one!

( Spoilers: Amanda Waller is cool and Clark Kent is kinda dumb. )

Also, there was a SkyTrain in one scene. That is *plus* the exploding one in the credits. I mention this because apparently it is the most exciting part of the series.

*I am not a liar.
 
PS, not that you *need* the reminder: FuckYeahAmandaWaller.
