Those were just false memories from the real Weapon X program.

They have no right to your optimism, from what they did to create that travesty.

Chris Claremont is king in all words.

To be fair, it was scrapped because the reaction (though not, unfortunately, the box office) to XO: Wolverine was so negative, and deservedly so. I imagine in the red universe they made an awesome Magneto Origins movie and the Wolverine movie never saw the light of day. Wish I could visit that universe, if just for a…

Agree 100%. And in only fifteen years no less! Wtf, how does the military lose its entire chain-of-command and cohesion from a lack of electricity? It's even less plausible when applied to local city and state governments. Frankly, the sorry ass 'militia' we see scouring the towns and villages would have its ass…

Yeah I agree with you. No electricity means everyone just goes nuts and government immediately breaks apart at all levels? Not buying it. Cops would still be cops. Hell, the post office could still function going back to its Pony Express roots.

I got that same vibe from this episode especially. It should be wingnut must-see-tv, which is maybe what they're banking on.

I don't dislike Charlie quite as much as C.J., and I'm giving the show a temporary pass on explaining the loss of electricity, but this episode just exacerbated a bigger problem that I have with this show.

"will reportedly play Thor's older brother Tyr..."

I did find this pretty funny but, 'honestly,' most of their swipes didn't feel like real criticisms to me. Think the movie (and previous movies) explained Banner was gaining control of the Hulk in certain circumstances, the earpieces should have been visible or explained but several characters DID touch their ears…

Sounds like urban legend. I think jaywalking is probably still technically illegal so that cops can ticket people who piss them off or who go running across LSD or something but is otherwise not enforced. Thankfully. We do just fine walking through the city without worrying about nonsense tickets.

No one here in Chicago gets a jaywalking ticket unless they decide to stroll along the middle of the street (instead of crossing it) and even then it's unlikely. If you have any friends or family who are Chicagoans come visit you, you'll see we are dumbfounded by the concept. The city does a lot of stupid shit…

Well it's good to leave it in any case since others can see the thread. I thought the same way you did until I read the 'Simultaneous Catch' rule so don't feel too badly.

I was seeing things the way you are as well at first. But from the rules, mainly the one posted above in the Deadspin article, Jennings only has to have CONTROL first. Basically, for it to be a catch, you have to have control all the way to the ground with both feet inbounds, but you can have control in the air. As…

Bears fan in Chicago, still signed it :)

You're right, one is a collection of people, workers, organizing to negotiate the best deal they can in the labor market while the other is a collection of pe— wait, that is the same thing after all.

I love how pedestrian-friendly the city already is and improvements are being made constantly. The road 'bumps' are dubious, like another commenter stated, they mostly just wreck cars and only slow cars down immediately before and after the bumps. Plus, in the winter they are more dangerous because of the snow/ice…

They were just as dickish then, government shutdown ring any bells? Difference is, the Big Dog would call them out and go toe-to-toe 'til they caved or an actual compromise was reached. Could you imagine President Obama shutting down the government instead of backing down and agreeing to wingnut demands?

Like most of us fans, he probably just conveniently forgot the baseball season isn't over yet.
