Retirement Home SMP or, the Book and Quill 1.19 June 2022 - Jan 2023 (6 months)

From left to right, then top to bottom if people overlap: Dice (@dontrollthedicesideblog), Squish (@squish--squash), Schleep, Alias, Faded, Myriad (me), Light (@lightns881), Ryan, Cyngus, Lumo, Pack Yak. Missing is ZodiacLight who joined a bit later.

I'm almost a year late putting this out. I drew everyone in like 2 days but hated coloring so I never finished :(

The new server name was a reference to how we were all once a bunch of mcyt writers and now we’ve “retired” and dispersed into other fandoms. The spawn area contained two villages: one in a plains biome, and the other in a mangrove swamp. The server was mostly split into two factions depending on where players resided: the Grove and the Plains. There was also a third “faction” of wanderers who belong to neither village.

This season contained the original Book and Quill members, and also some of my irl friends I invited. Yes, it was briefly a social nightmare but I survived.

Below the cut: character notes about the server members, in the order of the list above

Alias: Wanderer of the Wastes Affiliation: Wanderer ("leader")

skin suggests a relation to the warden glow squid

Light: The Executioner Affiliation: Plains and the Grove

local redstoner. built most of the farms on the server, such as: iron farm, melon and pumpkin farm, lava farm with rotating cauldrons????

built like, 70% of the buildings in the Plains.

built a guillotine. ended up becoming the only person to have ever been executed by it after she got too impatient and decided to try it out on herself

built a cute little cottage on the side of a hill with a secret doorway in a waterfall that could only be opened by triggering skulk sensors hidden midair in hot air balloons with an elytra.

went to extreme lengths to prank Myriad with the lyrics of Mask (and got me every time. see her post about it here)

“Ryan”: Director of PASA (Plains Aeronautics and Space Administration) Affiliation: Plains

Packyak Affiliation: Plains (he just happens to live under it)

Picked from „Arrow“, „Black Lightning“, „Supergirl“, „Legends of Tomorrow“, „The Flash“, „Barwoman“ Season 1+2 and „Superman & Lois“ Season 1+2. I did consider kicking „Superman & Lois“ of this list, but since it pretended to be part of the Arrowverse for its first two seasons I left it on here.

20. Out of Time (The Flash 1x15)

15, Written By: Aaron Helbing, Todd Helbing, Directed By: Thor Freudenthal

"Thanks to Myriad, there are no more racial divisions, no Republicans, no Democrats. Only one people, working with one purpose towards one goal: To save the world."

"Your attacker has sought to take your free will. Your individuality. Your spirit, everything that makes you who you are. When facing an attack like this, it's easy to feel hopeless. We retreat, we lose our strength, we lose ourselves. I know. I lost everything when I was young. When I first landed on this planet, I was sad and alone. But I found out that there is so much love in this world, out there for the taking. And you, the people of National City, you helped me. You let me be who I'm meant to be. You gave me back to myself. You made me stronger than I ever thought possible, and I love you for that. Now, in each and every one of you, there is a light, a spirit that cannot be snuffed out. That won't give up. I need your help again. I need you to hope. Hope... that you will remember that you can all be heroes. Hope... that when faced with an enemy determined to destroy your spirit, you will fight back and thrive. Hope... that those who once may have shunned you will, in a moment of crisis, come to your aid. Hope... that you will see again the faces of those you love. And perhaps even those you've lost."

28, Written by: Anderson Mackenzie, Directed by: Antonio Negret

"All of these men are willing to die on the battlefield-- not for some Spear, but for an idea. And I get it now. Camelot isn't about history.

And I can't walk away from that."

„There's Flash and—and Supergirl and—and people with actual powers now. Whatever needs to be done, they can handle it. We... we finally have a chance to be happy. I mean, why... why can't you just for a second accept that maybe this is your reward for all of the sacrifices you have made?"

"I didn't make those sacrifices for a reward, Thea. I did what I did because I thought it was right. And seeing all of this, it has just—it has shown me that there is still so much more to do, so please... I'm begging you to come with me because I cannot do it alone."

11. Raiders of the Lost Art (Legends of Tomorrow 2x9)

25, Written by: Keto Shimizu, Chris Fedak, Directed by: Dermott Downs

"Just focus for just a second and take this seriously, because the world thinks that you're Oliver Queen and I'm Barry Allen, and I would really like to know why! Is that cool?"

"You were struck by lightning, I was given the Book. By a higher power. Both random acts of chance. This... this is my destiny. So much more than becoming the Flash was ever yours."

I was 20 blocks away from our house. Nobody believed me. They thought I was trying to cover for my father. But what I saw that night was real. As real as the man that ripped down that metal door with his bare hands. That's why I look into cases like this. The ones nobody believes are possible. Maybe if I can just make sense of one, I might be able to find out who really killed my mother. And free my dad. I am sorry I lied to you. Better find another plus one." "He did lie about who he really was." "And what do we do every day?"

"I know I called you a murderer, but you are not. You are a hero. You beat the island. You beat my father. So fight, Oliver. Get up and fight back."

6. Resist / Nevertheless, she Persisted (Supergirl 2.21/22)

41/42, Written by: Derek Simon, Jessica Queller, Andrew Kreisberg, Robert Rovner, Caitlin Parrish, Directed by: Milicent Shelton, Glen Winter

"Good evening National City, it's Cat Grant. Yes, I've been away for a while but I'm back. Now I can imagine that you're feeling afraid and feeling like your world is spinning out of control but, believe me, you have power and right now you have a job to do: resist. Resist these invaders with everything you've got. They come with empty promises and closed fists. They promise to make our world great again and yet they know nothing about the people that make this world great. They think they can con us and if that doesn't work, what, they're going to beat us into submission? They have no idea what they're up against. Aliens and humans, we need to band together and we need to stand up and fight back. Everyone needs to be a superhero. Everyone needs to get up and say, 'Not in my house.' Let's prove to these thugs that we're strong and we're united and we're not going to be conquered. And Tiara Woman, if you and your minions happen to be listening, you have come to the wrong town. Yeah, I'm Cat Grant, not going anywhere."

"Now see, the thing that make women strong is that we have the guts to be vulnerable. We have the ability to feel the depths of our emotion and we know that we will walk through it to the other side. And by the way, you have accomplished great things this year. Your articles: 'Slaver's Moon', 'Alien Registry', 'Alien Fight Club'. I mean, it's all very powerful. And your prose, your prose is not bad. I mean it's not great, but it's not bad."

5. Reset (Arrow 8x6)

166, Written by: Onalee Hunter Hughes, Maya Houston, Directed by: David Ramsey

"Oliver, I've seen one daughter die and come back to life twice. I've seen another come from some other Earth. I've seen a guy in red run so fast he can reverse time. This is not exactly outside the norm, is it? Also, I'm done learning my lesson about doubting you because that always bites me in the ass."

4. Fast Enough (The Flash 1x23)

23, Written By: Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, Gabrielle Stanton, Directed By: Dermott Downs

"You will have a father - your real father. Wells has messed with our lives long enough. This is why you became The Flash, Barry. To put things right. You saved a lot of people's lives this past year. Now it's time to save yours."

3. The Faithful (Supergirl 3x4)

46, Written By: Paula Yoo, Katie Rose Rogers, Directed by: Jesse Warn

"I can fight so many things but I don't know how to fight someone with belief. He's blinded by faith."

"Let me ask you, what makes somebody blind just because they believe?"

2. Duet (The Flash 3x17)

63, Written By: Aaron Helbing, Todd Helbing, Greg Berlani, Andrew Kreisberg, Directed By: Dermott Daniels Downs

I know this has been done to death but

Here's MY top ten (in no particular order) wishlist for 1.20

Inventory update. There's going to be at least one new wood family and our first wood sub-type, plus chiseled bookshelves hanging signs, sniffer eggs and whatever new plant/seed(s) we're getting with the sniffer. So already that's a lot of new blocks and items to clog up an already overwhelmed inventory. Expand it. That's it, that's all you have to and 99% of your player base will be over the moon!

Blue dye + Yellow dye = Green dye. Honestly there's no logical reason why certain colors of dye should be SO MUCH harder to obtain than others, but currently there are 3 colors locked behind finding a desert or mesa/badlands biome and I think it's dumb. Yes, wandering traders exist but using them effectively is locked behind a tedious game mechanic that you won't have early game, especially if you didn't spawn near a village.

Wood saw. It would function just like a stonecutter but for wood. Maybe you would need a wood saw to craft the bamboo mosaic blocks?

Kiln furnace. We have a blast furnace for smelting ores, a smoker for cooking food, can we please have a more efficient furnace type for stone and clay? It just makes sense.

Different arrows. They said they'd give us a function for the fletching table, right? They also promised us a combat update so two for one, yeah? Maybe gold arrows would do less damage to normal mobs but more damage to Nether mobs, iron would do more damage to undead mobs, copper would do more to peaceful and neutral mobs (and give us an actual practical use for copper) obsidian would do more to flying mobs, diamond would do more to players (adding to the value of diamonds on pvp and even economy servers) and netherite would ignore any less than netherite armor and would damage closed shulkers. For balance, these arrows would not work with infinity or multishot and would only stack to 16.

Bedrock/Java parity. Basic accessibility features are horribly lacking on Bedrock, making it highly difficult for the hearing impaired. That's the most glaring issue, but Bedrock should also have spectral arrows, banner shields, and the ability to actually use your left hand. Java should have dyed water cauldrons and their respective mechanics, emotes, and an always-on "show coordinates" mode. There are a myriad other parity issue but those are the ones I can think of off hand.

Performance fixes/optimization. This one isn't exciting or flashy, but it's NEEDED. Even pro grade gaming computers struggle to keep up with world generation on Java without optifine and similar mods, block lag is disastrous on realms, and android and switch have been riddled with random game crashes since 1.19.

Misc. small esthetic things. Dyed flower pots (that would be the same colors as dyed terra cotta) more paintings, different colored lanterns (made by combining normal lanterns with glass panes) more banner patterns, cracked bricks

Literally any of the biome updates from previous showcases. Birch forest, Desert, Mesa, Savanah, idc atp, just making existing biomes feel more alive would add SO much to the experience, no need to add more new ones just yet, imo.

New water plants. Cattails are the obvious one, they could grow in water 1-4 blocks deep and grow up to 1-2 blocks above the water, and possibly be used as another source of brown dye (see point 2)

Bonus honorable mention:

Remove Herobrine.

Minecraft shouldn't be a Clingy Thing, Mojang Says

Minecraft shouldn't ever be a clingy feeling, Mojang says

Mojang continues to monitor the success of other survival games.

Mojang asked me what the future of Minecraft was like before the latest Minecraft 1.19 (opens new tab) update was released. Agnes Larsson, game director, and Nir "Ulraf"Ulraf Vaknin the developer weren't interested in being specific about the next major update. It's no surprise that they're likely to save that for the next Minecraft Live showcase. Instead, we talked about how they're still learning from other crafters and how they're planning to "keep the magic and charm of Minecraft" for another 10 years.

Minecraft's beta launch in 2010 put survival and crafting on the map. There have been a myriad of other games for crafting, many of which are also made with voxels, but Minecraft remains the benchmark for sandbox-based creativity. It's not difficult to Mojang to become smug after wearing the crown long enough, I think that they would become solitary and source ideas only from its own players and developers.

Larsson and Vaknin both insisted they wouldn't call Minecraft superior to all the others. (I would, though. yery It doesn't risk sounding boastful coming from me). However, they do state that knowing what sets Minecraft apart means they can keep it up to date.

Larsson called it intrinsic motivation. Larsson called it intrinsic motivation.

Vaknin agreed with the assertion that Minecraft's success is due to the fact that it requires players to be self-motivated "A number of games are deviating from that because many players are looking for more direction, and that's okay."

Over the years, I've played many survival-based crafting games. I was most recently drawn to Valheim's viking craft, which I enjoyed for several months. I also loved session-based survival in Icarus and V Rising for vampire crafting for a few days. Even Valheim which was my most played game for over 100 hours, and that I helped to lobby to become our game of 2021 (opens in a new window) has not kept me coming back like Minecraft.

Vaknin said that he's kept up with the competition, too. Like me, he was interested in the way that food and hunger work in Valheim. It made me treat food as part of my gear and I was not allowed to ignore food systems or treat all food items as equal-in so many other crafting games, including Minecraft. "I am always thinking about it and pondering about what we can learn from that," he says.

Vaknin stated that V Rising has a very unique goal and boss tracking system. He also mentioned the necessity of tracking down bosses on the map in order to find them. It reminded me of the way you find the End stronghold in Minecraft with the eyes ender.

Vaknin hopes Minecraft won't chase its players even if it learns from Minecraft.

"Minecraft is really not clingy," is how he stated later in our conversation and compared it to a long-time friend who will be there for you no matter the moment you decide to go and return months later.

Vaknin spoke about a typical experience in the Minecraft community: playing a lot for a few many years ago, then returning every year depending on the mood. That's how I've treated it for years myself and I'm happy to see it's a habit that Mojang feels confident cultivating.

"So many games you play can pull you into a bit too much and then you don't want to let it end. It's incredible that Minecraft doesn't do that. It's important to me to keep that."

"One thing that has been added to our guiding principles is: you play Minecraft because you want to, not because you feel pressured to," Larsson added.

As I prepare for Minecraft version 1.20 I am glad to know that the folks in control are confident enough to stay up to date with the latest crafting and survival trends, without having to follow them.

Minecraft shouldn't ever Feel Clingy, Mojang Says

Minecraft shouldn't ever feel clingy, Mojang says

Mojang continues to monitor the success of other survival games.

Just before the latest Minecraft 1.19 (opens in a new tab) update was released I inquired of Mojang what the future of Minecraft looks like. Agnes Larsson, game director, and Nir "Ulraf"Ulraf Vaknin developer, were not interested in being specific about the next major upgrade. Minecraft servers It's not a surprise that they're planning to save this for the next Minecraft Live showcase. Instead, we discussed how they're still learning from other competitors in the crafting industry and how they want to "keep the excitement of Minecraft" for another 10 years and beyond.

Minecraft's beta launch in 2010 put survival and crafting on the map. There are a myriad of other crafting games later-many also made from voxels-Minecraft remains the gold standard in Sandbox-based creativity. It would be easy enough for Mojang to become smug after wearing the crown long enough, I think that it would become insular and source ideas only from its own developers and players.

Larsson and Vaknin both insisted they wouldn't declare Minecraft better than all the rest. (I would, though. I do not want to sound like a boastful person, but it doesn't hurt. However, they do say that knowing what makes Minecraft apart means they can maintain it.

Larsson said it was intrinsic motivation. "We should inspire and enable players to be creative in their own unique way," she said, "but never dictate, never force anything."

Vaknin agreed with the statement that Minecraft's success lies in encouraging players to be self-motivated "A many games are veering from that, because a lot of players really want more direction and that's fine."

I've played a variety of crafting games for survival over the years. I was recently drawn to Valheim's viking crafting that I played for a few months. I also loved session-based survival in Icarus, and V Rising for vampire crafting for a few days. Even Valheim which was my most played game for over 100 hours, and that I helped lobby for to be the game of 2021 (opens in a new window) has not kept me coming back like Minecraft.

Vaknin said that he's been keeping up with competition. He was also interested in how hunger and food in Valheim work. It made me consider food as a an essential part of my gear and I was not allowed to ignore food systems or treat all foods as essentially equal in many other games of crafting, like Minecraft. "I spend time thinking about it and wondering about what we can learn from it," he says.

Vaknin stated that V Rising has a very unique goal and boss tracking system. He also mentioned the necessity of tracking down bosses across the map in order to find them. It reminded me of how you find the End stronghold of Minecraft with the eyes ender.

While Minecraft learns without necessarily chasing trends, Vaknin hopes it won't ever chase its players .

"Minecraft is not clingy," was how he declared it in the following chat. He likened it to an old friend who will always be there for you, no matter when you decide to leave and come back months later.

Vaknin spoke about a typical experience in the Minecraft community: playing heavily for a few years ago and now returning to the game on a regular basis when the mood strikes. This is a method I've used for years and it's a method that Mojang is at ease with.

"So many games that you play can draw you into a bit too much and then you're not ready for it to end. It's incredible that Minecraft doesn’t do that. It's so important to me to maintain that."

"One thing that was recently added to our guiding principles is: you play Minecraft because you want to, not because you feel pressured to," Larsson added.

As I prepare for Minecraft version 1.20 I am pleased to know that those in charge are confident enough to keep up-to-date with all the latest survival and crafting trends without having to follow them.

La portée de la croix

Vivre aujourd'hui

La portée de la croix

7 MAI 2022

Dieu a voulu par lui (son Fils bien-aimé) réconcilier tout avec lui-même, tant ce qui est sur la terre que ce qui est dans les cieux, en faisant la paix par lui, par le sang de sa croix. Colossiens 1.19-20

Des milliers de croix ont été dressées au temps du Christ. Elles ont certainement fait couler bien des larmes et marqué les esprits de plus d’une génération. Mais seule celle du Christ a une portée inimaginable. Parce que c’est un innocent qui y fut cloué ? Infiniment plus parce que cet innocent, c’était Dieu lui-même rendant possible la paix non seulement avec tous les humains, mais aussi avec les êtres de l’Univers tout entier. Par amour, Dieu est venu afin de réconcilier tout avec lui-même. Notre imagination ne peut même pas concevoir ce que ce « tout » représente ; ni exactement en quoi les billions d’astres de l’infiniment grand et les myriades d’êtres célestes qui habitent cet infini ont besoin d’être réconciliés avec leur Créateur. Pas plus que nous ne comprenons comment le sang de ladite croix accomplit cette réconciliation. Mais, au moins pour nous-mêmes, nous pouvons le saisir, car le sang de sa croix, c’est sa vie, son être incarné offert par amour pour gommer notre inimitié, pour nous rendre participants de sa gloire. Et dire qu’il me suffit d’acquiescer, de lui dire « oui » pour que, demain, l’inconcevable m’apparaisse dans son indicible portée ! « Ah ! Seigneur, fais-moi plonger déjà dans cet infini d’amour. »

Richard Doulière

__________________ Lecture proposée : Lettre aux Colossiens, chapitre 1, versets 12 à 20.

12 Rendez grâces au Père, qui vous a rendus capables d'avoir part à l'héritage des saints dans la lumière,

13 qui nous a délivrés de la puissance des ténèbres et nous a transportés dans le royaume du Fils de son amour,

14 en qui nous avons la rédemption, la rémission des péchés.

15 Il est l'image du Dieu invisible, le premier-né de toute la création.

16 Car en lui ont été créées toutes les choses qui sont dans les cieux et sur la terre, les visibles et les invisibles, trônes, dignités, dominations, autorités. Tout a été créé par lui et pour lui.

17 Il est avant toutes choses, et toutes choses subsistent en lui.

18 Il est la tête du corps de l'Église; il est le commencement, le premier-né d'entre les morts, afin d'être en tout le premier.

19 Car Dieu a voulu que toute plénitude habitât en lui;

20 il a voulu par lui réconcilier tout avec lui-même, tant ce qui est sur la terre que ce qui est dans les cieux, en faisant la paix par lui, par le sang de sa croix.

My 30 Favorite Arrowverse Episodes:

This list reflects my personal opinion and is in no way objective. Everyone has their own taste. Also Love is Love and can not be measured – except on stupid lists like this one. If an episode is not on it, that does not mean I don’t like it (unless it does). Everyone ist entiteled to their own opinion, so please respect mine and don’t reblog or answer to that just to tell me how wrong mine is.

30. The Fellowship of the Spear (Legends of Tomorrow Episode 2.15/31, Written by: Keto Shimizu, Matthew Maala, Directed by: Ben Bray)

This episode is “Legends”-Homage to Tolkien and his works. However the most quotes and nods go to the Peter Jackson Movies, which is no problem, because we love them too. The Legends recruit Tolkien out of the trenches for a treasure hunt, however things go bad and some fans were not to happy with one of the team betraying their own at the end of this episode. But don’t you guys remember Boromir? I really love this one, because it combines two of my favorite things: “Legends of Tomorrow” und Middle Earth.

29. Flashback (The Flash Episode 2.17/40, Written By: Aaron Helbing, Todd Helbing, Directed By: Alice Troughton)

In this episode Barry travels backt to the time of Season 1 and therefore changes the outcome of the Season 1 Episode in question and creates a new timline, which no one but him notices. Later on stuff like this would happen all the time, but this was the first instance, and it was very very wild to have Barry knock out Barry and pretend to be Season 1 Barry. Also we got Eobard and Eddie back and given how much I love both of them it no wonder I love this episode.

28. The Last Temptation of Barry Allen Part 1 (The Flash 6.07/121, Written By: Jonathan Butler, Gabriel Garza, Directed By: Chad Lowe)

Here Barry is infected by Ramsay who gets in his head and in the Speed Force which tries to help but ends up getting attacked by an paranoid and confused Barry, who finally gets to voice all of his frustration about the Speed Force and the way it interfered in his life. This is a very emotional episode that confronts Barrys immanent death, all the losses he had do bare and his conflicted feelings about everything that is going on in his life at this point of his story.

27. The Once and Future Flash (The Flash 3.19/65, Written by: Carina Adly MacKenzie, Directed By: Tom Cavanagh)

In this episode we get to visit the future in which Iris was killed by Savitar. Barry ends up there while trying to find out more about his foe. It’s a dark and depressing „What If“, where we get to see new sides most of our characters and this episodes dives deep into the immanent darkness of the seemingly so bright „Flash“-TV-Series.

26. The Adventures of Supergirl (Supergirl 2.1/21, Written by: Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, Jessic Queller, Directed by: Glen Winter)

This essentially is a Crossover Episode, even though it took Superman three more years to get his own show. However the episode acts as if there is an existing Superman-Show that crosses over into „Supergirl“. This version of the character is as adorable as Kara and a very good antidote to the Snyder Version of the character. Oh, and it does help that the episode is good as well.

25. Nora (The Flash 5.01/93, Written By: Todd Helbing, Sam Chalsen, Directed by: David McWhirter)

Season 5 opens up extremly strong with this episode where Barry and Iris meet their future daughter, who has some secrets up her sleeve that change everything for next one and a half seasons. Nora is perfectly portrayed in this one as a mixture of both of her parents and manages to screw up the timeline imediatly, while everyone is still reeling from the fallout oft the last season finale.

24. The Brave and the Bold (Arrow Episode 3.8/54, Written by: Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, Marc Guggenheim, Grainne Godfree, Directed by: Jesse Warn)

Crossovers were the moments „Arrow“ had a chance to let ist hair down and just be a little bit different for a while. This one has Barry, Caitlin, and Cisco visiting Starling City and the Flash and the Arrow teaming up against Captain Boomerang. It’s still Arrow, but with a splash of „The Flash“ in it, which makes it funnier and nerdier then „Arrow“ usually is. I always loved it.

23. Haunted ( Arrow Episode 4.5/74, Written by: Brian Ford Sullivan, Oscar Balderrama, Directed by: John Badham)

John Constantine crosses over in the Arroverse in this episode which reveals Olivers dealings with him in the past and shows him restoring Saras soul. With this episodes the show started to embrace it supernatural arc, which many fans weren’t too fond of in latter part of this season, but this episodes remains a favorite because here „Arrow“ got mystically weird. Also Johnny Constantine tends to make everything better and we got Sara back, so it’a clearly a win.

22. Kapishon (Arrow Episode 5.17/109, Written By: Brian Ford Sullivan, Emilo Ortega Aldrich,Directed By: Kevin Tancharoen)

This is the episode in which Adrian Chase manages to break Oliver. That sounds painful and yes it is very painful, but it’s really really great at the same time. This episodes asks all the uncomfortable questions the show seemed to shy away from in the previous seasons, builds on Season 5s solid Bratva-Flashback Arc and even presents us Anatoly meeting Malcolm Merlyn. It’s cleary a highlight of the show.

21. The Bottle Episode (Supergirl Episode 5.10/97, Written by: Derek Simon, Directed by: Tawnia McKiernan)

The Post Crisis Carzyness lived in this episode. We got a lot of doppelgangers, most of them Brainys, and a lot of chaos, I mean more chaos then most other shows usually have, except for „Legends“. So I guess this episode was „Supergirl“ trying to do an episode of „Legends“. Also Brainy evolves in this one, so it wasn’t just for the laughs. In short: There was nothing not to like in this one.

20. Welcome to Earth-2/Escape from Earth-2 (The Flash Episodes 2.13-14/36-37, 36: Written By: Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, Katherine Walczak, Directed By: Millicent Shelton, 37: Written By: Aaron Helbing, Todd Helbing, David Kob, Directed By: J. J. Makaro)

This two parter is the first time we ever visited a parallel earth. We visit Earth-2 in this, where pretty much everything and everyone is different. Adorable Nerd Barry, Cop Iris, Singer Joe and many more ahoy. But Deadshot of Earth-2 is the best thing about this reality. Too bad it pretty much everyone from over there was done away with later, but we will always have these episodes, so that is something.

19. Out of Time (The Flash Episode 1.15/15, Written By: Aaron Helbing, Todd Helbing, Directed By: Thor Freudenthal)

Time Travel is an important plot element of the Arrowverse, but it wasn’t always so. This is the first episode where Barry discovers that he can time travel, after kissing and losing Iris and witnessing the end of Central City. Which is one of those „everyone dies“ instances that are always cool and I always love. Also it’s Season 1 of „The Flash“, where they really couldn’t go wrong most of the time.

18. Starling City (Arrow Episode 8.1/ 161, Written by: Beth Schwartz und Marx Guggenheim, Directed by: James Bamford)

In this one we are essentially reliving the „Arrow“- pilot with a few signifcant changes. Turns out we are actually on Earth-2 and Oliver pretends to be his doppelganger in order to do a thing for The Monitor. Until the shocking ending, this on is like everyone favorites „Arrow“ fanfic come to live. Even the flashforwards were not bothering me in this.

17. Flash VS Arrow (The Flash 1.8/8, Written By: Ben Sokoloswki,m Brooke Eikmeier, Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, Directed By: Glen Winter)

This one was the first real Crossover Episode of the Arrowverse and it blended classic comic book action which Season 1 „Flash“-Style, meaning it was beyond great. We never quite saw Oliver like this before and not very often after, and seeing him and Barry connect is just one of the joys of this superior episode.

16. Worlds Finest (Supergirl Episode 1.18/18, Written by: Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, Michael Grassi, Directed by: Nick Gomez)

Speaking of the first seasons and Crossovers. This was the Crossover we always wanted, but never believed we would get, because back then “Supergirl” was on another network. But we got it anyway. Barry gets stranded on Karas Earth, which leads to a lot of chaos, many nice moment and fine jokes. This was one of the clear highlights of Season 1, and it paved the way for the season finale as well as future crossovers.

15. Myriad/Better Angles (Supergirl 1.19/19-1.20/20, Written By: Yahling Chang, Caitlin Parrish; Ali Adler, Andrew Kreisberg, Robert Rovner, Jessica Queller Directed By: Adam Kane; Larry Teng)

Season 1 of „Supergirl“ ended with this „all or nothing“ two-parter where everything came head to head. Driven and energatic „Supergirl“ cemented itself as one of the superior superheroe shows of it’s time. I loved the show, I loved Kara, I loved Cat and especially in this one.

14. Camelot 3000 (Legends of Tomorrow Episode 2.12/28, Written By: Anderson MacKenzie, Directed By: Antionio Negret)

From the far future to Camelot and King Arthur – this episodes travelled far and mixed those two areas up quite nice. In true Legends fashion Ray became a Knight of the Round Table, Sara got to hit on Guenevere, and Mick got to beat the adversary army with his brain. Yes, you read that one right. Just ask poor Martin about it. Given how much a love both Arthurian lore and the Legends this one remains one of my favorite up to today.

13. Meet the Legends (Legends of Tomorrow Episode 5.1/69, Written by: Grainne Godfree, James Eagan, Directed by: Kevin Mock)

In this episodes Ava tries to race money for the Time Bureau by making a documentary about the Legends and their work. This episode is the documentary and the making oft he documentary. Think Arrows „Emerald Archer“ only way carzier and funnier. The Legends meet Rasputin who kidnappes the camera team, while Ava writes Sara a very weird condolence note, everyone is acting weird(er) because cameras, and well it’s „Legends“ only even nuttier than normally. I love it.

12. Invasion! (2) (Arrow 5.8/100, Written by: Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Wendy Mericle, Directed by: James Bamford)

In the middle of the big „Invasion“ Crossover „Arrow“ celebrated its 100the episode by looking at a world where the Gambit never sank. While the writers cleary had fun with Barry and Kara in this one, the heart lies in the dream reality, where things are better but sadly not real. Oliver, Thea and the others need to chose the life they want and weg et rewarded with a really great episode while they do so.

11. Raiders of the Lost Art (Legends of Tomorrow Episode 2.9/25, Written by: Keto Shimizu, Chris Fedak, Directed by: Dermott Downs)

This is officially the episode where „Legends“ went nuts. Oh and it’s a delicous one. George Lucas never became a filmmaker after being scared of by Malcolms and Damiens attempts to kill amnesiac Rip Hunter who thinks he is an American filmstudent, whose script is basically the plot of the shows first season. Too bad he can’t find a decent Vandal Savage. And that everyone thinks he is this Rip Hunter guy. Also Mick gets a brain surgey, Ray and Nate change occupations, and Amayas babysits their attempt to get George Lucas back to film school, and thanks god she does otherwise … well otherwise there would be no „Star Wars“ or „Indiana Jones“, would there?

10. Beebo the God of War (Legends of Tomorrrow 3.9/42, Written by: Grainne Goodfree und James Eagan, Directed by: Kevin Mock)

This was supposed to be the sad goodbye to Martin Stein and it still is that as well, but mostly it’s the episode about Beebo Day. You know, the blue god, who hungers for war and conquest? Whose birthday we celebrate once a year in december and … wait? What was I talking about? Oh, yeah Leo tries to make Mick quit drinking and Beebo get’s squeezed a lot. Well you have to see that one to know why it’s a great one, but believe me it is great.

9. Elseworlds 1-3 (Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, Part 1: The Flash Episode 5.9/101, Written By: Eric Wallace und Sam Chalsen, Directed By: Kevin Tancharoen und Tom Cavanagh, Part 2: Arrow Episode 7.9/147, Written by: Marc Guggenheim und Caroline Dries, Directed by: James Bamford, Part 3: Supergirl Episode 4.9/74, Written by: Mac Guggenheim, Derek Simon und Rob Rovner, Directed by: Jesse Warn)

In this Crossover Oliver und Barry switch identities which no one on Earth-1 believes, but Kara’s help leads to an evil not-quite Superman and a brand new reality. Also we are introduced to Batwoman and Gotham. And Lois Lane. Well, there is a lot going in there - even Gary guest stars on „Supergirl“ – but mainly Oliver is Barry and Barry is Oliver and that if fun and Kara makes a connection with the Elseworld version of Earth-1 Alex Danvers which is also great.

8. Legends of To-Meow-Meow (Legends of Tomorrow Episode 4.8/59, Written by: James Eagan und Ray Utarnachitt, Directed by: Ben Bray)

Sulky about missing out on the Crossover the Legends crossovered with themselves in Season 4. John and Charlie destroyed the timeline for selfish reasons, and now everything is wrong and everything they do makes things worse instead of better. Zari gets to spend most of the episode as a cat, the rest of the Legends get turned into puppets, we meet the Sirens of Spacetime and the Custodians of the Chronology, and a gay kiss saves all of spacetime. Why can’t all shows be more like „Legends“?

7. The Scientist/Three Ghosts (Arrow Episode: 2.8/31-2.9/32, 32: Written by: Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, Geoff Johns, Ben Sokolowski, Directed by: Michael Schultz, John Behring)

This two parter introduces us to Barry Allen and culuminates in the „Arrow“-Version of a „Christmas Carol“ Oliver gets visited by three ghosts and Barry gets hit by lightning. Among other things. All very good stuff – I watch „Three Ghosts“ every Christmas, if I manage to get around to it. But this also is very the Arrowverse was born. And back then it was the best of „Arrow“ they ever did. And it still stands out today, combindes strong Flashbacks with a strong Main Story, which is all we ever wanted from „Arrow.“

6. Resist/Nevertheless, She Persisted (Supergirl 2.21/41-2.22/42, Written by: Derek Simon, Jessica Queller, Andrew Kreisberg, Robert Rovner, Caitlin Parrish, Directed by: Milicent Shelton, Glen Winter)

Season 2 of „Supergirl“ ends with a very strong two-parter that features the Daxamits Invasion of earth. Superman is in it, but these are all about Kara who get’s inspired by Cat Grant again, goes on to inspire everyone else in turn, faces of against the truly evil mother of the love of her life, and has to make a big sacrifice. The two parter was especially well written and no season finale of the show later ever measured up to it afterwards.

5. Reset (Arrow Episode 8.6/166, Written by: Onalee Hunter Hughes und Maya Houston, Directed by: David Ramsey)

Yes it’s a time loop episode in „Arrow“! Yes, it’s still „Arrow“, it will still break your heart. But it’s probably the moment the show embraced it’s funny pages origin the most wholehearted. It will make you cry in all the right ways. We get to say goodbye to Quentin in a prober way in this finally and that is beautiful. And Oliver gets around to accept his destiny which is heart breaking, but still this is my favorite episode of „Arrow“ if you get right down to it.

4. Fast Enough (The Flash 1.23/23, Written By: Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, Gabrielle Stanton, Directed By: Dermott Downs)

Season 1 of „The Flash“ has the strongest Season Finale in the history of the Arrowverse. In a very real way it could only get downhill from here. This one will break your heart in so many ways, but it’s the good sort of pain, that makes an impact, may even destroy a part of you, but makes you come out stronger in the end. The whole season comes together in this one and never falls apart (that will only happen later, if you think about it, but it’s explained away by later reveals). Sadly neither this show nor the others could ever measure up to this one, but on the other hand that is exactly what made it special.

3. The Faithful (Supergirl 3.4/46, Written By: Paula Yoo, Katie Rose Rogers, Directed by: Jesse Warn)

This one is my favorite episode of „Supergirl“. Mainly because this is what a certain director tried to do nut failed at in three movies: An exploration of the idea that Kryptonians are essentially Gods compared to humans. This episode is always respectful and has much to say, it touches on Karas own faith, shows us a new and intriguing side of James, and creates a villain that should have ruled the show and the season, but who sady stumbled later. In this one though Coville is just perfect. Like the whole episode.

2. Duet (The Flash Episode 3.17/63, Written By: Aaron Helbing, Todd Helbing, Greg Berlani, Andrew Kreisberg, Directed By: Dermott Daniels Downs)

It’s the Musical Episode! This „Flash“/„Supergirl“-Crossover has all the jazz – singing, dancing, kissing, opening up about feelings – and also a mini „Glee“-Reunion. Kara and Barry are trapped in a Musical Dream World and doomed to follow the plot, while Wally has to confront Darren Crisses Musis Meister. For vocals sakes the episode also includes John Barrowman and Victor Gaber of course, because there was no excuse to make this episode without them. I love this one just as much as it was to be expected and I will never forgive them for never making another Musical episode in any of the shows.

1. The One Where We are trapped on TV (Legends of Tomorrow Episode 5.13/81, Written by: Grainne Godfree, James Eagan, Directed by: Marc Guggenheim)

And the award for the Craziest TV Episode of all time goes to this one, where the Legends are trapped on TV. Charlie put them there to protect them, and so we get very familiar but strange versions of „Friends“, „Downtown Abbey,“ and „Star Trek“ with the Legends as the main characters instead. We also meet a murderous Mister Parker, get another musical number lead by the Tarazi siblings, and are as amazed as Mona about everything that is going on here. Can „Legends“ ever top what they did here? Or anything else in the Arrowverse? Let’s not challenge them, I am sure they can. But until then, we have this one, which of course is not only my favorite episode of „Legends“ but also the whole Arrowverse.

Global Companion Diagnostics Market to Reach a New Threshold of Growth: Expected to Reach USD 7.8 Billion by 2027

Global companion diagnostics market has been witnessing healthy growth potential owing to the rising prevalence of cancer cases around the world. The vigorous growth of the global companion diagnostics market can also be attributed to various factors influencing the global healthcare scenario, such as rising clinical trials on patients, growing emphasis on personalized medicines, and the surge in demand for next-generation sequencing, among others...

A study recently conducted by the strategic consulting and market research firm, BlueWeave Consulting, revealed that global companion diagnostics market reached USD 3.6 billion in 2020 and is further projected to reach USD 7.8 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 10.8% during 2021-2027 (forecast period). The global companion diagnostics market has been witnessing healthy growth potential owing to the rising prevalence of cancer cases around the world. The vigorous growth of the global companion diagnostics market can also be attributed to various factors influencing the global healthcare scenario, such as rising clinical trials on patients, growing emphasis on personalized medicines, and the surge in demand for next-generation sequencing, among others.

The growing demand for customized medicines is driving the global companion diagnostics market growth

The global companion diagnostics market is experiencing substantial growth owing to a surge in demand for customized medicines. Companion diagnostics have proven useful in various evidence-based laboratory analyses and clinical evaluations, thereby providing more information for the healthcare professionals in crafting more precisely tailored medicines with higher efficacies. For instance, in September 2020, Roche, a research-focused healthcare company with capabilities ranging from diagnostics to pharmaceuticals had developed a SARS-CoV-2 antibody test that helps generate accurate and quicker results than the expected duration. The advent of such advanced technologies, combined with highly effective diagnostic tests, is contributing to the growth of the companion diagnostics market, globally.

The escalating number of clinical trials bolstering the global companion diagnostics market growth

To obtain approval for the commercial end-use of any medicine, the drug is required to pass through all of the four phases of clinical trials that are known for being time-consuming and challenging. However, the companion diagnostics agent can help you identify disease-specific biomarkers and assist in recruiting patients based on the demand for the trials. Clinical trials have started becoming a cost-effective affair owing to the surge in usage of companion diagnostics in the field of medication development and customized medicines.

According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, the registered studies of clinical trials were recorded to be at around 381,053 as of June 2021. The historical trend suggests that the clinical trials are increasing at a faster pace as the statistic recorded in 2020 stands at 325,793 against 293,274 in the year 2019. The record growth of the clinical trials in the U.S. alone indicates that the clinical trials and studies will continue to grow even in the foreseeable future. As a result, the rising number of clinical trials has been augmenting the growth of the global companion diagnostics market.

The PCR segment occupies the largest market share in the global companion diagnostics market

Based on technology, the global companion diagnostics market can be segmented into PCR, ISH, NGS, and IHC, and others. The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) sub-segment accounted for the largest share under the technology segment. The world is confronting a lot of challenges owing to the pandemic that has claimed the lives of around 4 million people. The RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction) kit is the only way off identifying COVID-19 infection with higher effectiveness and precision. The PCR tests have a low allele frequency of genes, and high turnaround time in comparison to other technologies for which they are in huge demand. The promptness and high-reliability rate of PCR tests is positively contributing to the growth of the global companion diagnostics market.

The cancer sub-segment accounted for the largest share in the indication segment of the global companion diagnostics market

Based on indication, the global companion diagnostics market is segmented into cardiovascular, neurological diseases, cancer, infectious diseases, and others. The cancer segment held the largest share in the global companion diagnostics market in 2020 and is expected to witness strong growth over the forecast period as well. According to the WHO, cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, following cardiovascular illnesses, claiming more than 10 million lives in 2020 alone. The most prevalent cancer types diagnosed in 2020 are as follows—breast (2.24 million cases), lung (2.20 million cases), colon and rectum (1.92 million cases), prostate (1.40 million cases), skin (1.19 million cases), and stomach (1.08 million cases). Among these cases, the largest number of deaths were documented in the lung cancer category, which recorded nearly 1.80 million deaths in the year 2020 alone.

The data cited above emphasizes the importance of proper diagnosis in diseases with higher mortality rates. Cancerous diseases are often treated with the help of oncology treatment as it is an effective approach to detect cancerous cells in the human body. Oncology treatment has been witnessing an upward trend owing to the1 rising investment opportunities for research and development around the world. The rising number of cancer patients has only augmented the demand for such treatments which are positively impacting the global companion diagnostics market.

North America to Remain Prolific in the Global Companion Diagnostics Market

The global companion diagnostics market is divided into North America, Europe, the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. The North American region accounted for the largest share in the global companion diagnostics industry in 2020.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 outbreak as well as the government-induced lockdown restrictions have had a negative impact on the global companion diagnostics market. Because of the nationwide lockdown imposed by the governments of different countries, the supply chain confronted disruptions, and availability concerns mounted amid a rising number of COVID-19 cases. However, the discretion offered to the healthcare domain amid the COVID-19 pandemic has helped the global companion diagnostics market to witness a growth potential as they continued offering their testing services to various healthcare professionals around the world. Companion diagnostics testing kits have also made it possible to determine the safety and efficacy rates of COVID-19 vaccines and medicines for cancer patients undergoing therapy. As a result, following a period of sluggish growth, the companion diagnostics market is expected to witness immense growth potential in the coming years.
