@fifthacecomics.orgI know it's a kid's show and all, and it might have given the plot away too soon, but they were cowards to not give Francine Langstrom bat-boobs.
@fifthacecomics.orgThey follow up the furry episode with the werewolf episode; were the writers on a kick of some kind?
Also, a werewolf who just happens to be called Anthony Romulus? Real sublte, guys.

@jimbeam.bsky.socialSupergirl bombed. Again. Not a creative failure — a structural one.
DC's gods don't belong on live action screens. They never did. The DCAU figured this out 30 years ago.

@fifthacecomics.orgAh right, Tyger Tyger, the furry episode; this totally didn't have some kind of profound effect on my brain chemistry in my pre-adolescence...

@fifthacecomics.orgI wonder if millennial techbros' obsession with artificial intellect's potential to make robot girlfriends came from watching Heart of Steel and seeing Randa Duane; yowza.

@uniquely-david.bsky.socialThings really step up a gear during the second half when events move to Storybook land & the references to Wonderland come cascading at you in rapid succession & the rules of the game change, with walls literally reorganising themselves according to the dealer's pleasure.
@uniquely-david.bsky.socialRoddy owns the episode, but he is partnered by a lovely performance from Kimmy Robertson as the pleasant Alice of his dreams, wonderfully portraying being happy in love & the naivety of not knowing what's right in front of her.
@uniquely-david.bsky.socialAble to sound young & old at the same time, Roddy perfectly encapsulates the fun childlike wonder of discovering the world anew, an intellectual professionalism & a very sinister vengeful spirit willing to chop off a head or two to stop anyone preventing him achieving his dream
@uniquely-david.bsky.socialIn one of the most calooh callay pieces of casting ever, Roddy McDowall, (who played Bookworm in the 60's series, read the audiobook for Tim Burton's Batman & even played the March Hare in Irwin Allen's 1985 production of Alice in Wonderland), is utterly magnificent as the Hatter
@uniquely-david.bsky.socialMAD AS A HATTER
Things get curiouser & curiouser as one of Batman's original core enemies arrives to provide a frabjous dose of accentuated perculiarity & mind controlling mayhem, while touching upon the sadness of someone forced into extreme lengths to avoid walking this world alone.
