I'm still not even half-way through Persona 5. I had to take a break on it. It's just…dense at times. I have Breath of the Wild out there, too––waiting for me. But I sort of want to play through a meaty but linear first-person game. Is Doom 2016 worth a shot?

That's true, of course, but I wonder if it could be transformed to become about comic book/literary film adaptations. ButI wouldn't want it to become another LxG. Ellis would have to be involved.

…Yes.

I need to be reading this book, I guess. The art and coloring is absolutely gorgeous.

Is the Skrull Kill Krew still around?

The backlash against safe spaces is fascinating to me. Like, it's just a space where you can talk about sensitive issues (personal, political) without judgement or fear. Isn't that something that comedians would be for? A fucking AA meeting would be a safe space.

I don't know. It feels like a missed opportunity (and slightly cowardly) to just side-step the issue of racism in a world like this - especially in an episode focusing on Luke, a black man. I get that they wanted to cast people of color in their show, but if you're going to have a black woman as a Handmaid then you

Focusing on Luke could've been a way for the show to explore race and white supremacy in this world without taking away from the daily horror that the Handmaids are facing as women. But the show's still not ready to go there, I guess?

Well, he already got the dying out of the way.

Yeah, Moira and Penny were simulations at that instant. Remember, at the end, Bill muses that Penny is out of her league and she hasn't asked her out yet. I'm thinking that all of these simulated environments are running in real-time and aren't just following the Doctor. It wouldn't make sense if the sim only happened

They need to bring Boyle back to his season one personality. He was still weird but not…a complete monster.

I was hoping for a hint that she'd been possessed or influenced by Ares in this one. Because yeah, she's not angling for peace. She's just out and out violent.

The writers of Injustice, which features an evil Superman and Wonder Woman, are more knowledgable about the DC universe than most of the folks in charge of the TV shows and movies. Like, this is an Elseworlds story, as confirmed by the first game, and it's reveling in that, and I loved the story of this one. Injustice

His return immediately brought the comic back up a step. Why DC hasn't given him the reins to other team books - like Suicide Squad! - is a mystery to me.

The Injustice tie-in comic is a masterclass of comics plotting. And yes, agreed. Tom Taylor wrote the best Harley Quinn since Dini, and it's a shame her real book is nowhere near the depths and quality of what Injustice is doing with her. She's funny but also feels like a real person!

Movie sounds about what I expected, and that's, yeah. You need Lord and Miller to even attempt one of these reboots. It sucks that Alexandra Daddario's stuck in this one. She's one of the most beautiful actors in Hollywood, so I get why she's being chosen for these types of roles, but ehhh. She's funny! She's got some

I'm thinking the clue is "Did you bring anyone home?" at the end there. So I'm thinking that Bill's simulation's existence didn't begin until she entered the house with Penny?

It's too bad. I liked the first one a lot.

Did anyone else ever get this movie confused with The Lost World on TV, based on the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle book? Granted, I was a child.
