Does there always have to be an overarching plot? When I read Marvel comics as a kid, in the early ‘80s, I was interested mainly in whatever was happening in the series I followed. It was cool to have crossovers with other series — I got into X-Men because they had a guest appearance in ROM — but mostly I was into…

He is British. He’s from Scotland, his family’s from Rwanda. He’s the 4th Scottish Doctor after McCoy, Tennant and Capaldi. 

He’s so successful playing a kid that I forget he’s almost thirty. I found the storylines he was given in Sex Education were often kind of one note but he still pulled them off very well. So I’m definitely interested to see how he does with this.

I’d have to say, Layla becoming the wing-suited avatar of Taweret was the most 1970s Bronze Age thing I’ve ever seen in any Marvel show or movie. It also brought back fond memories of Joanna Cameron on Isis.

The original plan was for a trilogy. And then at some point while he was writing Clash of Kings, Martin realized three books wasn’t gonna cut it, and it would have to be four. And then four wasn’t gonna cut it, so it kept going up.

It’s been speculated that the Coreys will finish the series if GRRM is unable to, though they’ve denied it. Abraham has written some very good, unconventional epic fantasies.

Turns out the Starbucks cup was the key to the Seven Kingdoms. It’s all revealed in the final volume, A Latte of Foam and Darkness.

Except longer and with more superfluous descriptions of meals and clothing. 

Steven, Mild-mannered wimpy bookworm. Check.

she hits the enemy truck with a flare, cleverly making the enemies fire on themselves.

The hammer shown in this teaser shows all the cracks from when Hela broke it. I don’t if how it got put back together has been answered, and I imagine it will be a part of the story.

Quill: “You ever feel lost? Just look into the eyes of people that you love.”

The new Quantum Leap is sounding more and more like “Project Backstep” from Seven Days (series).

The whole John Carter situation makes me sad. The movie wasn’t great, but it was enjoyable. The visuals were pretty good, and still hold up today. The acting was solid overall, and I thought Lynn Collins was great.  The marketing was obviously abysmal, but it’s too bad that it killed the entire series.

Too bad Stanton did everything he could to sabotage the project, refusing to take advice to position the movie to succeed even before Disney's marketing bungled it further. Highly recommend the book on the production ("John Carter and the Gods of Hollywood") to see the countless ways everyone involved could not get…

...Nah, you guys go and lemme know how it is and I’ll stream it later if it’s hype (I will also bitch and whine and complain).

You guys should stop trying to advise on gardening. It’s complicated and doesn’t lend itself well to underinformed slide shows. Besides the constant recommending of plants that are invasive or can be invasive, there is no information here regarding the light levels required (most of these are sunny locations only),…

and those voters will keep doing it because hurting others more is good to them.

Tutankhamen had amber in his tomb that had been traded all the way from the Baltic Coast. It would not surprise me at all if his dagger had a long trek as well - the whole Bronze Age depended on long distance trade routes just to supply the tin for the bronze (the copper came from the huge copper deposits on Cyprus).

Amenhotep III and Shuttarna II at Malkata. Amenhotep III of Egypt. Egypt where the Nile ends. Shuttarna II of Mitanni. Mitanni split by Euphrates. King of Mitanni, his arms wide open. Amenhotep III and Shuttarna on the ocean. Tomoko Arai, his eyes uncovered.
