Stein, Mad Scientist: The Fran That Time Forgot," in which Franny travels back in time to change her name on her birth certificate from the humiliating "Franny Kissyface Stein" to the much cooler "Franny Kaboom Stein."<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, all of her classmates find her new middle name equally ridiculous, and the change has the further unfortunate result of turning her from a regular mad scientist to an EVIL mad scientist, so that she much fight her evil future self to go back and change her name back to Kissyface.<BR/><BR/>I bet that in an "Untold Story," Guy Gardner has already gone back in time to change his name from "Leslie Lynch."Ragtimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10763066980980022901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-84764577833202573712008-01-14T10:27:00.000-05:002008-01-14T10:27:00.000-05:00I like Tom's idea.

Since some folks would like to see Nathan Fillion of "Firefly" play Hal in a movie ... actually I don't know where I'm going with this. I suppose it means something, I just haven't figured out what yet.<BR/><BR/>(Personally, I'd like to see Jason Lee as Sinestro, because let's face it, all he has to do is put on a yellow shirt and he's perfect. But that just brings up the issue of the rest of the standard Kevin Smith cast ... Ben Affleck as Hal? Ethan Suplee as G'nort? Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith as Guy and Silent 'Wog? But, I'm really getting off-topic here and I apologize.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-12177178400718842732008-01-14T09:05:00.000-05:002008-01-14T09:05:00.000-05:00Alternate Timelines...They're Not Just For Breakfa...Alternate Timelines...They're Not Just For Breakfast Anymore!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-913867681477530162008-01-14T02:50:00.000-05:002008-01-14T02:50:00.000-05:00What I like about this trope is that it suggests t...What I like about this trope is that it suggests that the Lanterns have a protocol and training for "you just got time/dimension-swapped with an alternate counterpart." Given how often that sort of thing happens in comics, it seems like a good idea.

They could pull in the Green Lantern of the 73rd century, from Justice League of America #138-139. Then all the younger fans could go "What the...?" and all us old guys could go, "Hey, I remember him!"<BR/><BR/>(Except of course that I might be the only guy who actually <I>does</I> remember him!)<BR/><BR/>Coincidentally I just watched "Once and Future Thing" tonight myself. I've been blasting through all of JLU this month, and it's a whole bunch of fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
