Justice League Action "The Brain Buster"

learned:

* i hate to do this to my beloved show, but this episode was pretty bad. bland and dull. disappointing way to spend the morning. i woke up at 7AM for this!

* this goes back to my theory about episodes which feature ONLY male characters. they never work. they're dead in the water. boring. nobody wants to see a pissing contest for 11, 22, or 47 minutes. there HAS to be women in there to enliven the art.

* whose idea was drones anyway? OBVIOUSLY they were gonna destroy us.

* Lex Luthor: i won Dejarik against myself again. i had all the ideas for Star Wars and everything.

* ah, that Gorilla Grodd clue in the beginning. but it was obscured by the robotic voice. couldn't hear it till the second pass with the subtitles.

* Mr. Terrific: Darkseid quit sudoku when his name was the answer but the sudoku-writer thought it was spelled Darkside.

* Terrific: those world's-smartest lists are never accurate. wait, did i just call myself dumb?

* Terrific: time to T up! just in time for the teeball playoffs!

* Calculator: i'm a human calculator with a tongue. you should see the matches i get on eharmony.

* voice: i'm a flaming pair of groovy glasses. i am a genius like you lot. my name is John Lennon.

* voice: let's start with a race...and end on one.

* there's gotta be a better way to advertise Hot Wheels.

* voice: i'll give you fuel...for your nightmares.

* voice: if you don't complete the Rubik's cube you can't drive. we don't need more smart cars on the road, we need more smart drivers.

* voice: the sphere has the mask of the Ridder. i'm not the '60s Riddler by the way.

* Batman: I AM THE DISCOBALL KING!

* Lex: unlucky for all of you, i have a Game Genie!

* Calculator: how did i not die?
Batman: you're on Cartoon Network at 7AM.

* Terrific: yee-haw strategy, i just made that up right now i'm so brilliant.

* Batman: i am Batman. i always win on a technicality.

* Terrific: i watched a lot of Dukes of Hazzard as a kid. that may seem strange looking at me.

* voice: let's accelerate this game. we only have 11 minutes.

* Batman: do you see the pattern?
Terrific: yes. the one where the good guys always win.

* Lex: too soon for me to use this weapon.

* Terrific: turnabout is fair play. by the way, nobody has ever used that phrase in a real-life conversation.

* Lex: i've never lost a chess match.
Batman: but this isn't 3D chess.

* Batman: chess clocks are stupid. that's not how the world works. you need to take your time with things.

* Lex: Mr. Mind? but you're just a slug. what's your major grievance with the world?
Mr. Mind: everyone in my small town turned into a butterfly except me.

* this episode should have been called "Brain Games".

* Mr. Mind: terrific.
Terrific: yes?
Mr. Mind: no i meant terrific sarcastically.
