Not at all. Since you've been spreading it on street corners, the government knows all about it.

"She toys around with Coulson’s mystery box knowing that it will
infuriate Fitz and make him want to leave, and when he packs his bags
and heads out, he discovers that Simmons has snuck the real device in
his bag while she works with a fake."

Yeah, I love the still photo of the two guys filming the first roaring lion. Can you imagine the scene in that room?

Eh. It's inherently an extremely difficult thing to do. Superstar producers and record executives and A&R folks and, well, everyone who tries to develop stars in any way probably has about the same success rate.

But…that's not what we were talking about. Gentle Herpes talked about how long Idol stars are/were popular for (which has been an issue in a lot of cases indeed, but it certainly has produced *some* long-term successful acts). landstander straight up said "it absolutely does not produce popular musicians".

Both Defenders and Advanced are in TIE Fighter (even before the expansions), and playable. God, the first time you get a Defender is just…glorious.

this was a pretty workmanlike episode, like the review said. it's been doing a lot of heavy lifting since the holiday break.

The idea of 'ancient GPUs' amused me, since 'GPU' is a marketing term that NVIDIA came up with a mere decade or so ago. In my day we called 'em video cards.

I am Right-to-Left Man's sidekick, Right-to-Left Boy. I have the exact same superpower, but I arrived a little later.

"and infuriating director Dom DeLuise and his stable of swishy, tuxedoed dancers"

The witches or the guards. Not the first two books, especially not the second, though the first is worth coming back to later.
