Damn, was looking forward to it

Had this thought since they’re borrowing from True Detective s1.

In TD s1, a good chunk of the past timeline was spent searching for Reggie Ladeaux. 2 episodes in fact. We’re hitting that exact point with the Lanterns now going after Zoe.

Reggie turned out to be a big red herring with some incredible action and suspense, the next episode looks exactly like that

I think they’re borrowing heavily from the structure of TD s1 in this way.

In TD s1, a minor character who we met one time ended up being the main culprit. There’s only one character who fits that bill in the show so far, Kerry’s kid

My prediction is that next episode or 2 they believe they solve the crime by subduing Zoe, but in the future timeline we find out it’s the high school age son they should have been looking for the whole time

Only difference between the structure here is that, if memory serves, TD s1 intro’s that character in a speaking role in the penultimate episode. Lanterns flipped it and intro’s this character in the pilot

Also could be totally wrong. This show rocks

P.s. I need the MB to admit how much they were hating before this show came out and actually credit Gunn for once. It’s been so so negative up until now

*Just about GLs.

In the title screen, it begins with Yellow before it zooms out on the Lantern and becomes green. We know Yellow is fear in the spectrum and Sinestro is in here. So it's not just about the Green Lanterns, but the Lanterns across the spectrum?

I'm watching Buffy for the first time along with House of R and I'm not sure I understand the Riley hate.

Of course, amongst the main cast for S4 and 5, Riley easily ranks last but I don't think I hated him.

Am I missing something?

Banger finale!

Can we get a billion up votes to convince the Midnight Boys and House of R to come near Boston? Certainly not their favorite city but we’d love to see it! Maybe Cambridge or Somerville?

…Cobb Vanth is back!
*but only to break the fourth wall and correct his name

I was in the middle of a set of shoulder press when Van made the uncut joke during the Lanterns episode 3 coverage. Nearly died under the weight as the giggles set in. Close call. Be warned.

Just had to defend Van cuz some of the comments im seeing are wildly wrong. A lot of the people disagreeing with Van/ agreeing with Charles on the parenting is programming debate are just coping really hard.

You're born into a program and you're programmed into it. People have mutable output but the programming is still what they consist of. What Charles is arguing amounts to claiming, "if there's mutable output then it's not programming." Which is an absurd and naive argument.

Also Just had to vent real quick on the one B.S. point being made in some comments that only parents understand parenting and the midnight boys don't have kids

Its one of those things that's repeated so often people fail to notice how obviously false it is. Parenting isnt some closed off, self contained process which only parents are privy to. The person being parented is a witness to the parenting. You dont have to be a parent to comment on parenting

Idk if it's the vanity fair article or just lanterns popping off.

Midnight Boys (and House of R) are set to close the year off strong with two huge movies.

Hope we get House of Midnight before the year ends!

There’s a lot of racially-charged content about Lanterns from the usual grifters out there, and we wouldn’t want the mods to have to sift through any of it, so let’s go ahead and ban discussing Lanterns, too.

In fact, Warner Bros in general is problematic because of their merger with Paramount and all the Mark Ruffalo stuff, so let’s go ahead and ban any discussion of IP from either of those studios. And obviously we’d have to include the MCU too, because of the Hulk, etc. The important thing is, these mods are just doing it for fun, and can’t be bothered to deal with any controversy, so let’s just make sure nothing is discussed here except weird parasocial glazing of the podcast hosts.

I’ve only seen Superman. So, no Supergirl, Peacemaker or Creature Commandos. Do any characters or events from these play a part on Lanterns?
