Isis is coming!
I was a huge fan of the Saturday morning TV show when I was a kid.
Kudos to the production team for not changing her name.

The mirror is really a view-only portal into a parallel universe in which you are ugly. Pay it no mind. It is merely mocking you.

With mirrors as with Isis (the terror group) there is always the brick option.

if i were Isis, I think I'd be pissed that someone was using my name...
The show Archer stopped using Isis, they just gave up. SO I have to give Legends props for trying to get the name back.
Though I'm hardly an expert, I don't think they actually refer to themselves as ISIS, it's just one of the way their name gets translated. Everyone should use ISIL instead of Isis. I'm pretty sure if their name translated to an acronym THOR or ODIN we'd be using a different translation of their name. Though I guess when you get major economies of the world naming days of the week after you, you get some perks. (Though I'm always amazed at the # of native English speakers who don't know who Wednesday is named after. And there really is no excuse for Thursday. Maybe it's just in the USA, lord knows the educational system here is shodddy.)

I give Archer a pass on getting rid of the name because it's a spoof of classic spy plots so it might hit a bit too close to home, or at least affect the comedy. But, yeah, it would be a drag if it permanently influenced what people thought of a 4000-year-old Egyptian goddess (or the 1970s heroine she inspired).
People should just call the group what they call themselves and what everyone in the Middle East calls them: Daesh. Actually, I think former SOS John Kerry called them that for a while, but the media ran with Isis, perhaps because it does actually sound more like an evil organization like Spectre or Thrush.

I think LoT should run with this costume complete with the Go Go boots.

I'm in the same boat as you are. I saw a few (Zatanna and JSA episodes), but in general I missed everything.
Fortunately, the Zee episode is also the "Lois in the WW outfit" episode. But I need to watch the "Lois as Isis" episode now.

Thanks for posting these. I didn't know Isis was in Smallville.

Don't get your hopes up too high, though. While there are some feats of strength and the episode is certainly enjoyable, Isis' performance is rather underwhelming overall, especiall considering the potential right there. But well, such was the Zeitgeist .

I don't remember the whole episode, but I certainly remember the rushing noise towards the steel garage door and the crushing lift...and the look on her hiding co-worker's face...

What??? I don't know where you're taking this, but Tom Welling had a stellar career not only during Smallville ("The Fog") but also well after the show ("Draft Day"). Ok, who am I kidding, anyways ... .
On a more serious note, Erica Durance is one of the hottest women I've ever seen on screen. Certainly in my Top-100 list.

I think the main 5 characters are doing pretty well through directorship. Kristin Kreuk was earning $40,000 an episode for the first few years. That rose to $270,000 PER episode. That salary figure might be wikipedia rubbish, but I'm sure she is happily putting her feet up somewhere at a pretty young age.

Well, I'd happily have a picture of her feet and let her keep the rest of her TUSD 270 per episode to live happily ever after. Don't know if this is too high a figure, Charlie Sheen had been rumored to collect TUSD 1,000 per episode of "Two And a Half Men" and the main actors of "The Big Bang Theory" are rumored to collect even more than that for each episode of the final season.
Well deserved, at least for Kaley Cuoco, I might add:

(Might have to set up a new thread for superwomen and their super-powerful salaries, that can afford them the purchase of superpowers? as this has gone off-topic)
