Yay we’re back! 3×12 “Ghosts”
GENERAL: Mostly pretty okay. A nice return if a little rote (Jim’s conflicted! Lee and Jim are tiresome! Bruce is off doing a thing! Nygma et all are scheming! Strange things happen!). I’m really just looking forward to the Nygmobblepot drama and Jerome’s return.
LIKED
–Oswald Cobblepot uses a flip phone. I find this oddly endearing. (also, your hair is fabulous, darling. Like it always is)
–I think this is the most I’ve liked Selina all series. Suddenly her “tough street girl” shtick makes ALL the sense. It also explains why she’s extremely hesitant to open up with Bruce–abandonment issues.
–“Doesn’t anyone die in Gotham anymore??!”
MIXED
–The ghost idea is interesting since all the characters are metaphorically haunted by their pasts but I think the show missed an opportunity by not getting Carol Kane back as Oswald’s mother; that’s his true “ghost.”
–And speaking of…I’m actually rather surprised that Ed didn’t go the Gertrude route. I mean, yeah, Oswald’s father’s death is traumatic but Ed and Os met and bonded over the death of Kristen/Gertrude. I still think Ed might be playing some sort of long game. His final words to Os before the holidays make me ponder.
DISLIKED
–Lee coming in and demanding that Jim be arrested for Mario’s death in full on Widow’s Weeds. Good gravy but I am so OVER all the Jim/Lee/misc other drama. Like, I just straight up don’t care and the show continues to pay too much attention to this.
–In some ways, Jim was “more like a son to [Falcone] than Mario.” That seems rather hyperbolic.
HOPEFUL THINKING
–All I want right now is one episode where Jerome and Tetch team up for the most mental episode ever.
Pretty much this, although I was fine with Lee wanting Jim arrested (he did just kill Mario, after all). after she spoke with Falcone, I saw her saving Jim at the last minute a mile away.
I think everybody on this show uses flip phones, so that didn’t really stand out to me. As for Gertrude, I don’t think Ed could have gone through with his plan, if he had used her. It would’ve been just too far.
[adrotate group="5"]Pastoria reference! Sounds like he died around the time Dorothy was born. Huh.
Up until the very last few seconds of the episode, I was convinced Dorothy was Ozma and that Tip was a red herring.
Tin Man kind of did that.
Yeah, occasionally, I’ll be logged out on certain boards (not threads, but entire boards) and logged in on others. No matter how much I try to log in, it doesn’t work. It’s random.
Is it just the index pages that don’t work right? Right now, the “Recent posts (with spoilers)” page doesn’t seem to want to let me log in, and I’ve tried refreshing that tab and closing it and opening it again. When I click on a thread link on that page, though, the thread’s page shows me to be logged in. And it looks like I can post in these threads, too.
It’s every thread within whatever board is not recognizing me.
Whenever you run into a functionality problem, the three most important things we need from you are:
What browser you use
Whether you have an ad-blocker (these can sometimes conflict with functionality)
Exactly what you tried and what resulted<ol>
<li>Safari</li>
<li>No.</li>
<li>Kept trying logging in, both with Facebook (how I normally log in) and with the normal login fields (goes to the same account, when I do that; I don’t have two accounts).</li>
</ol>I did NOT expect the “Tip is a girl” reveal to happen so early! Apparently, her hair is magical. Also, interesting that they moved them to the east. Jack, by the way, is Tip’s “son,” in the books.
Liked the usage of blue in Munchkinland and yellow in Winkie Country.
Upset at the usage of rubies (instead of silver) and Glinda being in the north (instead of the south).
I did get a sense of the film version of The Wiz, at the beginning, particularly regarding the tornado and the Munchkins.
Also, Boq’s a lot meaner, in this version.
Pregnant nun is clearly a reference to Gregory McGuire’s novels.
Not feelin’ the Scarecrow dude. Or the Dorothy x Scarecrow ship (like, ever).
Pastoria reference! Sounds like he died around the time Dorothy was born. Huh.
Book spoilers below!
Speaking of Pastoria: Tip, you have the farthest thing from “bad” blood, trust me! And I suppose, technically, Mombi was protecting Ozma. From the Wizard. Who wanted her dead, when she was a baby. The monster.No one else to my knowledge is having issues logging in. I’ll look into what is going on but I haven’t heard any other issues. People are posting regularly so I assume there is no wide spread issue.
About every couple of weeks, I find I’ve been logged out. When I try to log in, it doesn’t work. I can still read the forums, but it doesn’t keep track of which threads I’ve read, and I can’t post. When I check back a few hours later, I’m already logged in. It hasn’t been much of a problem for me, though, because I don’t post all that often.
The “Freshness” numbers don’t seem to update reliably; they get stuck for hours at a time. I think this happens whether or not I’m logged in.
I think this forum is hosted on Daniel’s computer and mirrored on his webspace provider’s computer. I’ve seen messages — though not recently — as pages load, about them being old versions.
Maybe Daniel’s internet provider sometimes just stops working for a few hours at a time. Mine does that.

New trailer for S10!!!! Here’s hoping we get a date soon (anyone else think Bill is a bit like Rose?)
She reminds me more of Ace.
I wrote this (it’s unconnected to my ongoing fic), and I just posted it, today.
Remember how I mentioned I was starting an ongoing AU fic WAY back ago? Well, the upcoming “episode” has our heroes encountering a familiar face, so I felt I should let you guys know.
By the way, here it is, a week after I posted it. 😛
See! I even made a title card!
Well i dont think Regina father is alive
Except she didn’t cast the Curse, so he very well COULD be alive (hey, if Granny’s still kickin’…).
