Unknowingly, incestuously, Rey kissed Finn deeply.

Cause of death: one rogue nanobot.

Canadian Empire: “Step one—President Cruz!”

My son was home sick and we watched it—that’s why it seemed so ironic to me to see this article the same day!

Pretty sure they already did this story as well as it can be done...

Thank you!

“Oh, the Leviathan’s large,
It’s as big as a barge,
It’s the terror of all seven seas.
Ah, but here on the land,
When it’s stuck in the sand,
It’s a hideaway for you and me—and me,
A hideaway for you and me.

I saw this and said, “Well, that’s interesting, I guess, but why is it on io9?” Then I remembered that io9 isn’t exactly io9 anymore.

In the right hands, a ROM: Spaceknight movie could be absolutely fantastic. It will not be in the right hands, of course, and the end result will make me weep openly at the squandering of a beautiful concept. But it could be fantastic.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks!

In Memoriam Memoriam

In ages past, a monolith displayed
The record of a battle. New-crowned kings
Their chosen works through stone relayed,
And history, clad in marble, ever sings.
But not so now. For history’s bereft

One of the qualities I most appreciate about this film is what I also appreciate about The Princess Bride: its story-ness. We don’t have to question why there’s an abandoned castle on a hill overlooking suburbia any more than we question whether R.O.U.S.es exist—in these stories, they’re just part of the world, and we…

I hope, for dramatic purposes, that the Creature (whatever it is) needs a dead body...because then it’s Coulson’s fault that it’s now in Ward. Of course, there were other dead Hydra it could have inhabited—but not ones close enough to make it through the portal. Now we have InhumanWard, on Earth, and Coulson will have…

There’s much hate for Winn—but I believe there’s more to him than he’s letting on. He seems to be able to do some pretty amazing things. I think there’s a possibility that, with the right writing, he might end up being a more valuable friend—or possibly a more valuable enemy—than we’ve yet guessed.
When Henshaw was…

A Noiseless Patient Spider, by Walt Whitman...

That was a really well-written review. Thanks.

It is really reminiscent, visually, of the original ‘S’ in the comics and the Fleischer shorts...

One minor correction: when Hawkdouche pushes Kendra off the ledge, it DOESN’T work—because Barry catches her. It is only when she leaps of her own free will that she gets her wings. That’s actually neatly symbolic, in a way: when she is the Rescue Victim of the Week, she’s Kendra; when she is The Taker of Risks, she’s…
