Best.
Episode.
Ever.Yeah, I've already watched it (what with the "other episodes from this series you might enjoy" scroll popping it up several hours ago) and, well, I'm still laughing at it.
One question: how the hell did Superboy/man Prime capture Mxyzptlk? Or is that never explained much like everything else this series has done?

Great job on this episode, Linkara. I was worried about there only being two main parts to Countdown, but the pacing and structure of the video really helped in framing why you only needed two parts for the overarching series, and ties off most of what the books tried to achieve well.
I'm gonna have to watch both parts again later on in order, as it'll help me internalize all of this information, but at the end of the day this is your longest (I think) and strongest episode regarding the joke setups, the frustration, and of course the intro.
I just wonder what's next? Final Crisis? Are we gonna have to wait 30 years for it? :P

Who Monitors the Monitors? Pretty much the "Who Watches the Watchmen?" tag line that never became clever nor worthy of being on a t-shirt. Fuckin' re-todded. :pinch:
Nice review man. That's one less thing I don't have to read that I never intended on reading to begin with and thank god I never thought otherwise ... so, thanks.

Wow... this video has been over thirty minutes long. Not that I don't mind but I wonder how you can cope doing a new video each week. I think that's impressive.
Man, all this stuff happening only to lead to nothing. Why!? Just... why? How is that supposed to please the fans or get anyone new ones? It just doesn't!
Great review. You sure own a lot of bad comics. You didn't buy all these countdown issues, did you?

A word bubble at 25:21 was the only semi-enjoyable line in the whole series.
"It's like Cheerleading Camp! Only run by Bin Laden!"
When that's the highlight of 51 issues, you KNOW something is wrong.

You know would have made this series somewhat decent? If it was a parody of event comics. But, no, it wasn't and just listening to the summary sounds as stupifying as actually reading the whole thing... I'm assuming. >_<
Also, why, why, WHY did they have to bring Batman Beyond into this travesty? Just for kicks? No, that is unacceptable!
