geebsHeh, you know, since they initially announced the new Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm on twitter, using their twitter handles, I totally didn't realize at first that Sansa was playing Jean Grey. And I should recognize her twitter handle!
And speaking of not knowing things I should, how did I not realize Lloyd Bridges was Jeff and Beau Bridges father?! This is like Kate and Oliver Hudson, Elizabeth and Andrew Shue, Jonathan and Anthony LaPaglia all over again. I realize the last one is really ridiculous since they definitely look like brothers. But its like, yeah, its an uncommon last name, but its not like they have ubiquitous careers. So if I saw one on TV, its not like I remembered the existence of the other one, like I wouldn't be watching an episode of Cold Case or Frasier and then have reason to think of Seven Days. So since they were never in my mind at the same time, I didn't make the connection.
But yeah, heh, I can't believe it never clicked to me that Lloyd was the father of Jeff and Beau. I mean, he definitely looked like them when he was younger, but he was already kinda old in the stuff I saw him in.
But I digress, getting back to comix based tv/movies- so I had heard Rachel Jr from Glee had been cast as the new Supergirl. First off, I was feeling bad for the old Newbies on Glee, since the failure of the last couple of seasons seemed to be hung around their necks and they were all cast off. Except for Kitty Wilde, who was the only one who really mattered, because she's cute and awesome. (she did seem to be the most well received of the old newbies, and the one who seemed to hang out with the old cast the most, so I'm not surprised they kept her) But I guess between this and being in an Oscar nominated movie, Melissa Benoist prolly doesn't care about being booted off Glee.
Secondly, I was a little hesitant at this Supergirl show at first, since it was on CBS, and they were last to the party, and Fox and NBC's foray into the comics based TV show world (Gotham and Constantine) haven't been so great. But I didn't realize it was being done by Greg Berlanti, who does Arrow and Flash. So, it might be better since he seems to be doing a decent job with the other two.
But ha, so now that's the second superhero TV show he's done now starring someone from Glee? Which, with the stunt casting from the 90s Flash TV show and Prison Break, I'm kinda wondering if Felicity's college ex being Flash's replacement on Glee was entirely a coincidence, or it was intentional for her to previously have a thing with a head Warbler, and almost have a thing with another head Warbler.
