I’m happy that all the shitty options that had me worried are no longer on the table.

This actually brings us to the most important point here, which is that Gotham’s Alfred is a psychopath. This is not unimportant. If he’s going to star in a show, the show would then be about a terrifying murderer who has no qualms punching children he doesn’t like; he’d be like Dexter, except without the…

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

I could be the New Republic Senate reconstituting itself after being blown up along with the Hosnian System.

A steampunk show called Spark? Are the Foglios getting cut a check?

Not everyone.

They’re probably only counting civilian casualties.

I think gritty might not have been the best term. But if you’re making a TV show and you have to choose between High Fantasy and Sword & Sorcery, you should go with Sword & Sorcery every time.

I was just saying this the other day when the rumor about a new Red Sonja TV series popped up. Sword and sorcery is a genre that is almost tailor-made for television, while epic fantasy is more suited for the movies.

Argh!!!! Seems like Conan Doyle was unto something after all.

Excellent news! Melissa Benoist was perfectly cast ad the show is pretty good.

This would imply that while in the UK the governing body sees itself as part of the Muggle government (we even see the Minister of Magic coordinating with the British Prime Minister) in the US the magical community sees itself as completely independent of the muggle power structure.

Bleeding Cool claims that (an increasingly very busy) Bryan Singer is producing an R-Rated adaptation of Red Sonja for TV, the legendary barbarian heroine who was previously a Marvel character before being picked up by Dynamite Entertainment.

Too dignified.

His character was, and is, an appropriation of Asian culture —no different from American Ninja, Shogun, The Karate Kid, The Last Samurai, and all the other movies/comics/stories where a white guy discovers a foreign culture, learns its ways, and becomes better at it than the people born into it.

I don’t think so. Waze doesn’t take into consideration any variables other than traffic and physical obstacles.

The kindle version is cheap enough to take the chance on a complete stranger to me based on CJA’s recommendation.

Turkey and Japan having a “space war” in 2050 is particularly interesting.
