"Were we the only two people who saw that part?"

And to be clear, I think there's nothing wrong with that — certainly I'd prefer exploring the universe with that cute girl from philosophy class to being trapped in the body of a Cyberman, even if the relationship didn't have long-term potential.

There's that wonderful bit in Mummy on the Orient Express where Capaldi is talking to himself and speaks with Baker's voice for one line.

It struck me less as true love than "cute person you smile at around campus and had a nice conversation with once or twice."

9 is my Doctor. 12 is the one I want to be when I grow up.

Regression to the mean.

You know, I don't think that's actually what happened.

Beat me to it.

Everything about TSA is shady and invasive. The scanners have a false positive rate of 100%. Shoes are a terrible delivery system for explosives. Any liquid powerful enough to damage an aircraft is too unstable to make it from wherever it was mixed to the airport without going off. When your new pat-down protocol

As public employees they should be obliged to treat all passengers courteously whether they agree to the naked body scanner or choose the invasive physical groping. As long as they allow people to choose the groping over the naked body scan, they should not treat one group any differently than the other.

It used to be even weirder. Tons and tons of fairly obscure British TV and no ads. I've no idea how it was legal or made anyone any money.

For a while it was on Viewster, then it vanished along with all of that channel's other British shows.

When Mark Waid was writing FF, he asked readers to go back and read old FF comics, where Reed was ready to go nuke Atlantis or something to get Sue back from Namor, and it was Ben who had to be the calm one. A screen Reed could go the Action!Scientist route really well, I think.

Man, if I'd been able to smile like that when I was single…

For a goofy show made to sell superdeformed toys, that cartoon went to some weird places, like the time Wolverine said his sideburns were about rocking the Asimov look.

Chunk Squat-thrust!

Is this a straight-up reboot or is it going to be a time travel thing to explain the recasting?

Thanks, Johns. As if your rainbow lanterns weren't stupid enough on their own.

Watching Supergirl, in the context of the Supermovies WB is making, is like reading banned books in a dystopic regime.

Or maybe — hear me out here, folks — maybe Mark Millar is making stuff up about Hollywood?
