Broadcast Standards and Practices. There's a department like this at every network that makes sure that each episode's contents are appropriate to their internal standards, as well as to the rating that each series gets. It's slightly different for each network, for instance Kids WB is generally...

It doesn't matter what *I* consider to be Y-7. When BS&P asks us to do something, we do it. They're quite reasonable, in my opinion.

But you argued the opposite, the way I read it. Of *course* there should have been casualties, deaths even. The reason we'd go out of our way to say there weren't any should be self-explanatory. It's a Y-7 show.

You know that for a fact, do you?

Ah, got it. Donal Gibson didn't voice Captain Boomerang in "Eclipsed." It wasn't even really Captain Boomerang, it was an actor in a TV commercial and much too minor a part to cast someone specifically for that.

The only Austraiian character I remember on the show so far is Captain Boomerang who was voiced by Donal Gibson, (who is Austrailian). When did we have Americans doing Austrailian accents? Edited to add: Nevermind, I just figured out you probably meant "Lost." Teach me to skim.

I'm sorry, *what* did you just call me? I'm sure you're about to apologize, right?

Actually, A guy on my Delphi Forum disclosed it, I just confirmed. I thought it was probably too subtle and I was surprised that so many people got it. Shows what I know.

Nice of you to say but you're forgetting people like James Tucker, Dan Riba Joaquim Dos Santos, Andrea Romano, Rich Fogel and Stan Berkowitz, all of whom are easily as important to the show as I am (and most of whom, unlike me, were there at the beginning). I hesitate to even make a list, as I'm...

I'm sorry, I didn't intend for that to come out as an attack on you in any way, the whole Static Shock toy situation is a real sore spot for me. The guys at work have learned to never say "action figure" within my earshot unless they want to endure a 20 minute rant from me, including a list of...

I wouldn't put money on that, were I you.

I don't know anything about the other characters but that's not remotely what's going on with Static. Our licensing agreement is pre-arranged. There's no need for any further negotiation on either side. There may be something to the smaller split idea, although DC has never expressed this to...

It's not that complicated. Amazo CAN turn into Nth Metal, but since he left before Dr. Fate figured it out, he had no way of knowing, among all of his many abilities, that Nth metal would hurt Solomon Grundy, especially considering he had just hit Grundy with much more powerful attacks that only...

Wasn't Skeets a security robot? Why would he know anything about history?

Don't overthink this. There are a few mistranscriptions in this interview and I believe this is one of them, mostly because I have absolutely no idea what happened in the third episode of Batman.

My ears were burning, hi. Remember that Shayera was a spy, deeply conversant in Earth culture. She knows a lot more (at least broadly) about our various cultures than the average human does. Her mission and possibly life depended on this knowledge. FYI, there was a joke in that sequence, cut for...

That's correct. On shows with bigger budgets (like a live action sitcom or drama), you'd also have staff writers included in this process. This is roughly the way almost all of American fiction television is done. We *do* get credit for this work, by the way, as "Producer" or "Story Editor,"...

Dos Santos is two doors down from me at Warner Animation. Genndy and McCraken work at a different studio. I've never met them but I assume they're over at Cartoon Network. See, that's going too far the other way. Darwin Cooke was the scripter. In any case, I don't think there's such a thing...

You're not, whether you like "my" stuff isn't the issue at all. I just objected to some assumptions you made about who does what, and the idea that even a script with only one name on it only has one person working on it.

Not only does this make wildly inaccurate suppositions as to how our stories are done (giving both scripter and story writer credit and blame for things they didn't do), I actually find it personally insulting.

I don't generally engage in cake metaphors.

Batman Beyond is 50 years from now, it could easily have gone public in that period of time. But if Secret Origins says it's a publicly held company, Bruce is a big-ol crook.

I don't know for sure, but I assume Wayne Enterprises is privtely held. No outside stockholders, no crimes.

Edits just as often tighten up things I missed and make me look better.

Last time I'm getting into this, either it works for you or it doesn't (like Superman flying) but a time machine has to be able to communicate with itself achronally to work at all. Batman (with help from old Bruce, but it was edited out) took advantage of this. At the end, Chronos never gets to...

Batman didn't know what conversation he dropped Chronos into, but as you suggest he did know (from the belt's activity log) to loop Chronos just before the trip that brought him to the Watchtower. He chose that point hoping to minimize changes to "our" timeline. If Batman simply returned Chonos...

You didn't get that from me. It took place after Initiation.

I wasn't going to post but are you kidding me? Bruce is my *boss.*

Close, in "Out of Africa," it's explained that our superhero version of Anansi was the current-day "champion" of the African Spider/Trickster from the folk tales. He derives his powers from the real Anansi, but is just a human gifted with the powers. The Anansi Spider-God is the source of those...

You are a Knight of the Jedi Order, and you shall vanquish me with the power of the... Hey! Cut that out!

Picard's Grandmother only beat me two falls out of three. Hardly an ass-kicking.

"Mary Marvel" looks like a miscolored Gypsy to me, but I've got terrible eyesight.

I probably just neglected to fill out the form. Thanks for the thought.

My mistake. December 31 isn't my birthday either, though.

I've been so busy arguing on another board that this almost got by me. January 1 isn't my birthday! But thanks to everyone for the good wishes.

Bah! Picard's still bald because he's waiting for his staff's research report on "possible hair replacement stategems." Kirk was combing his hair one day, noticed a little bald spot and instantly SHOT A KLINGON for his pelt and glued it to his head. PROBLEM SOLVED!

Wrong guy, right guy, whatever. Somebody's getting taken down. And no meetings!

Puh-lease! Picard would have a staff meeting, tediously asking everybody on the ship for "options." Kirk would be done with it already -and had time for a quick affair with the alien proctor's beautiful space-daughter.
