Bad Batch Season 3 Episode 11: Juggernaut Juggernaut never shows up, despite Disney owning Marvel. Bah. Turbo Tank-jacking and playing chicken and lots of dumb action. The Empire gets like 20+ people killed trying stop the Bad Batch after they steal a turbo tank. Oh, the plot is still trying to find how to get to Tantiss so they can rescue precious precocious Omega...again. This time by freeing an Imperial jerkass from a prison camp. Wanda Sykes' character appears, so...blech (puke) 6/10

X-Men ’97 Episode 6 Lifedeath – Part 2 Prof X is alive. We knew that, right? I know he left in the comics to be with Lillandra, but wasn't sure about the sheow. I thought Deathbird was a mutant of her own species, she was a throwback who had wings? So when the Shi'ar call Xavier a subhuman or something...look at your white eyed, wing princess of power over there. Prof. X's voice takes a bit of getting used to. Ross Marquand is trying to hit the inflections of the 90's actor at least, but still sounds too young. Prof X is too nice. He should've reduced Deathbird's mind to a drooling vegetable. I guess that wouldn't have endeared him to the Shi'ar, either. How does Storm getting her powers back also make her hair grow out and create a new costume? Did homegirl gain some new powers?

The X-Men episode was fairly simple theme for ProfX/Storm: Remembering who you are. I liked the Storm stuff better simply because Demon stuff is more visually interesting than lackluster scifi stuff.

Saw that Flash movie. Best part was Michael Keaton's role as Batman.
And the 89' Batmobile.
I much preferred the TV show Flash and cast. Too bad they didn't use them.

Bad Batch Season 3 Episode 13: Into the Breach - now we move onto generically titled episodes. Another infiltrate an Imperial facility thing. Weaselly former vice admiral Rampart aiding them to *yawn* find out how to get to Tantissssszzzzz.
5 out of 10.
Bad Batch Season 3 Episode 14: Flash Strike - Even more meaningless title. Implies some military action, instead the Bad Batch shot down on Tantiss and on the run in the jungle, where, YES, a large monster appears. BUT BONUS, Omega, expert on prisoner escapes from watching Escape from Alcatraz, crawls through corridors and spies the captive Zillo Beast(tm).
6 out of 10.

Sun and Jin are Storm Shadow and Jinx. Boone and Shannon are Zandar and Zarana. Desmond is Shipwreck. Ana Lucia is Lady Jaye. *Claire is Covergirl.
Ben Linus is Cobra Commander. Charles Widmore is Destro. Richard is Zartan. Ethan is Dr. Mindbender. Mikhail is Major Bludd. Juliet is Baroness.

Jack..I was going for Lifeline because of the whole him being a doctor thing, but Falcon really works better. He went to med school after defeating Cobra La on the G.I.Bill.

Man, Lost, the thing that show had going for it, characters and the lovely locale no matter how silly the lore itself got.

X-Men 97 SPOILERS of course
So, we have the fallout proper to the destruction of Genosha. We see even Beast becoming disillusioned by ProfX's dream. There's a nice globetrotting aspect to this episode as Rogue is searching for answers. She goes to a military base in the desert, then a safe house in Mexico. Bottom line, its Bastion who's behind everything, working with Sinister (he's promised Sinister something in exchange for help with his Sentinel prime program). He also knows ProfX is alive and probably drop that on the public to destroy a key point of sympathy the X-Men got at the top of the season. He also has Mags prisoner and does a conditioning tactic of shaving him so you have to be still or get sliced (listen and obey). Amazing episode. This is the X-Men adaption I've always wanted. 4/4
(I'd mention in the comics, if I am recalling correctly, the 'mutant problem' from Bastion's pov also spills over into the humans are a problem too as both mutants and humans can have mutant off springs)

We are reminded they are part of the Marvel Universe. But who will recover Cap's shield?
"No, Rogue, don't drop Trask..." Umm...Jean, you have telekinesis. Stop the drop.
Since when does Morph have the powers of people he imitates? How can he be as fast as Quicksilver?
I don't know Bastion. That reveal was lost on me.

SPOILERS:
There's a bit of a purple to his skin. He is Nimrod and Master Mold combined. It will be a slightly different than from the comics because some aspects are not present in the cartoon (Siege Perilous merged them). OZT is Operation: Zero Tolerance and things are going to get insane in the last three episodes me thinks remembering what went down in the comics.

"No, Rogue, don't drop Trask..." Umm...Jean, you have telekinesis. Stop the drop. Jean reminds me of my ex. She was tired all of the time. Using her powers makes her seem to always need a nap. So, other than flying...if she has to do almost anything else, it's sleepy time.
