So far I've only seen the clip of his golf scene on YouTube. I have similar feelings. I'll grab the episode when it comes up on iTunes tomorrow or so to see the rest of it.

I think I've only seen the first 4 seasons of the show, so I have a general feel for the show, though I'm sure things have changed up in the years since.

My insane hope for Season 8? Skeets is the head of the Time Police (because just imagine Sara being led into this massive office and there is a tiny egg-shaped robot floating behind a desk) and the Legends and Booster kidnap him when they escape and slowly corrupt Skeets into joining in on their reckless saving of time

Exact same boat as you. Haven't seen the show in years. Was kinda lost. Didn't hate it. Wasn't super into it either. Could be cool if brought back later in full blown form. I'd love to see a new live action take on his outfit. Donald did have the right energy. So that's good atleast.

Why am I not the least bit surprised that the CW would ruin yet another beloved character with their woke gender and race swapping nonsense? It's almost like there's some kind of racist, sexist agenda and bias occurring behind scenes, since I have yet to see a historically black character being played by a white actor, or a character that is female in the comics being changed to a male character on this show, or in any comic book live action or animated tv show or movie. It's only white male characters being race and gender swapped. I'm not necessarily a purest, but I do believe that characters should be portrayed on television and in film the way they were originally created in the comics.

And before anyone starts calling me any litany of -ist or -phobe words, you should know that I'm not white. Comic book fans of color feel this way as well, not just white people.

I think that with the words "golden" and "boost" in the opening lines, it's a pretty fair guess.

My only question is are they going to link him with Rip Hunter, and will their relationship be the same from the comics or are they going to change it

@Herb, I don't regularly watch the show. Are they usually good about that sort of thing? My experience with DCEU in general and CW shows in specific is that no, we should not expect them to be "comic book accurate."
If this *is* Booster Gold (which is not yet guaranteed), so long as they get the core of the character right -- cocky, insecure, well-intentioned -- and expose him to a larger audience, I'll be satisfied enough. I like Faison as an actor, and I'd certainly like to see his take on the character.

I don't follow the CW shows anymore. Ever since they stopped broadcasting them over the air locally in Canada, I haven't seen any of them. I don't watch enough TV to justify subscribing to all the streaming services they are on. The local streaming services have pick up various shows, but not one of them has all the shows and I refuse to sign up for 4-5 different packages to get them.

That said, I just was watching a panel of the recent Fan Expo Vancouver, and a guest from Legends, Adam Tsekhman did bring up a date from the 25th Century. Not sure if this is a sly hint for next week's episode where Booster might show up. It happens around the 13 minute mark

I wonder if she can could be grow up Rani, it could be cool, at least could be a way to bring her back to continuity

Maybe Gold Beetle is another obsessed fan of Blue Beetle and Booster Gold.

Ooh, I love the idea that it could be an adult Rani. The time period is right, and that would also fit the "generational" theme that so many of these post FUTURE STATE books have. (No doubt a legacy of the aborted 5G concept.)

Do you think that Rip had a sister?
I have been reading your books and enjoying them.

 Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Jan. 19, 2021 at 9:06 PM
Another good suggestion, Bob. There's a whole bunch of Booster's future family we still don't know anything about, including Booster's inevitable future wife.

(And thanks!)

30th century, Booster is kinda good buddies with Brianiac 5. Maybe he got Rani a spot on the Legion of Superheroes

JD posted on Jan. 26, 2021 at 11:00 PM
I'm almost hoping Gold Beetle is this Earth's Sara Butters.

I also see that Dominator back there. What do you think they're going to pull from Invasion for the plot?

 Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Jan. 26, 2021 at 11:28 PM
Dominators have been foes of the 30th/31st-century Legion of Super-Heroes in the past decade, so I doubt we're reaching all the way back to INVASION! for plot threads. *shrug* But who knows?

Eskana posted on Nov. 6, 2020 at 12:00 PM
I kinda am on the fence on this issue. I like the idea that we can get original stuff from different artists and new concepts, or even conclude stories (*gasp*) for once, without having to worry about how it affects the universe overall. That way we could get interesting takes like King's "Mr. Miracle" without having to think about what this long term does for or says about the character.
On the other hand, it basically does stop meaningful character development as you said. But, Booster (and most characters) are at that point already if they don't have their own books. Every time Booster appears, he has to re-introduce himself AND what he really does, but they always also quickly throw in character traits like "mention social media" and "mess up at least once." He's only there for 1 or 2 issues, then gone again before he does it again. IMO, that's a problem mainly of someone without their own title. The last time BG had his own title, he went from being the overconfident and underappreciated (somewhat) media-hound to being the greatest hero you've never heard of. Even out-of-continuity, I'd love to see what someone could do in a return to a booster-centered series.

Bob posted on Nov. 6, 2020 at 5:48 PM
I agree with you Boosterific. Continuity is important.

Bea posted on Nov. 7, 2020 at 3:26 PM
I think this approach is probably a bigger threat to the writers than artists. It takes a skilled writer to take a creation from another book and keep the core of that character the same in a different setting. If you don't need to worry about that you can spend the salary budget on the artist and just hire someone to put words in the bubbles.

Also seems a little short sighted given the traditional DC marketing plan. How are they going to have a big money spinning multi-issue mini-series crisis with multiple glossy special covers at inflated prices event every 5-10 years if you have no continuity to throw out and start again?!?!

I agree with you that continuity matters for character growth. It shouldn't be so rigid that it prevents storytelling but it is needed to ground a character in something so you can follow them on their emotional journey and that whatever book you pick up you can recognise them for who they are rather than just by the colour of their cape and booties. Not that DC has done a great job of that recently in continuity with recent Booster depictions.

Time will tell I guess whether this is another great idea that they will have to reboot/forget about in 2025. It feels like they probably will have to.
