Agreed! My kid (age 7) is a Doctor Who junkie and has gotten into the comics in a big way. There's a series out now called "Prisoners of Time" with each installment about one of the previous doctors—it's turning out to be pretty cool.

Maybe it's not technically a "solo", but I think the opening bars of "Sweet Child O' Mine" are perfect.

I'm kinda sick to death of all the characters except Coulson, but I'm still holding out hope that things will get better. Everybody on the team seems to be pretty one-note—from the brilliant-but-socially-inept scientists, to the beefcake guy with the Tortured Past, to the hippy chick who doesn't respect authority. …

I told my kid they were going in there to smooch.

I could do with more Umbrella Academy and less My Chemical Romance.

So, it sounds more like this is a documentary about mentally ill people who happen to collect dolls (except for maybe the robot-animation-making guy). How is this all that different from Hoarders or any of those other "crazy people manifesting their craziness in unusual ways" types of shows?
And the whole "crazy doll…

I'm not overly frightened of death itself, although I certainly wouldn't fault anyone who is. I tend to be more worried about 1) being in a lot of pain before I die and 2) wondering what will happen to my kids after I'm gone.

Regarding the women in your group, all I can infer from that is that they were pre-med students, which can pretty much include any undergraduate who *thinks* they want to go to med school before they change their mind. Actual med students generally get cured of their squeamishness pretty quick.

According to the folks on some documentary I saw, the secret to longevity is extreme calorie restriction (but not too extreme, obviously,)
To which I say, if that's what it takes, screw that.

Well, the unfiltered cigarettes are certainly helping.

My kid has gotten into reading Batman '66 and the most hilarious thing is that when he's reading it out loud, he uses the Christian Bale voice for all of Batman's lines. Which makes dialogue like "Nice work, boy wonder" sound even better.

I don't know—just because primetime TV is darker than in the 80's doesn't mean kids are necessarily being exposed to it (I don't let my kid watch Criminal Minds, for example.) A lot of the stuff specifically aimed at kids these days (Saturday morning cartoons, etc.) seem, for the most part, to be less…

Yes! Wasn't there a Garfield special where he and Odie get picked up by the dogcatcher and put in a shelter and there's this really sad song that plays while Garfield and Odie are hugging because they're scheduled to be euthanized in the morning?

What wally said. I was putting the kids to bed at the time so I only had a chance to make out that he was a terrorist of some type that might have been working with the team to catch some other terrorist. I was so hoping that the other baddy they were tracking down would be played by Clancy Brown, but I was…

He was on NCIS:LA not that long ago.

Is it just me, or does this sound more like someone has series of spinners that they use to randomly select dystopian YA novel plots?
I mean, the situation in Hunger Games at least makes logical sense, but how would a "5 tribes based on personality traits" even work in real life? It's like on "Criminal Minds" when the…
