"Some day we'll find it, the Kremlin Connection…"

Humorless Cap may be more canonical, but canonical Cap is a freakin' bore. This is one of the reasons why once upon a relatively short time ago, the idea that Marvel would make hit movies with that character seemed insanely optimistic. I like the MCU Cap more than I like the way he's been written by 90+% of the

Given the way Bendis usually uses Dr. Strange, if he wrote this movie it'd be 115 minutes of exposition, with Strange explaining in great, retconned detail the plots of every previous Marvel movie, interrupted only by Stark quipping about how he and Strange have the same goatee.

What if the Cubs win, but the final out is Chapman taking a hard liner in the teeth? Would that work for you?

Just a reminder that even if you're somehow unconcerned about the idea of Trump having access to the nuclear football, Trump having access to presidential pardons is almost as scary.

There's a long tradition, extending past the horror genre, of filmmakers including taboo or titillating material, so long as the characters involved in this misbehavior were punished, through imprisonment or death. So if a character was a villain, or a prostitute, or a drug user, or just homosexual, that character

I'm suspicious because Sad Cisco seems like too big a plot point to have lasted just three quarters of one episode. Also, CSI Draco Malfoy seems too obvious.

I accidentally predicted the arrival of Hipster Wells last season:

Yeah, I'll be so very happy if, when they take the mask off Alchemy, he's no one we've ever met before. Not Earth-99 Wells, not Eddie Thawne, not Dante Ramon, not Hunter Friggin' Zalomon or Eobard or CSI Draco Malfoy or Gorilla Grodd (OK, maybe I'd live with it if it's Grodd. Or King Shark.) I want them to pull off

Cute list, but considering that he's quite tubby, not that many people have bagged on him for being overweight. Given that part of his campaign strategy has been trying to paint his opponent as tired and unhealthy, and he's both older and more overweight than she is, he's kinda gotten a pass on that.

Bad Rudy character!

"This gives his whole thing an air of legitimacy, and it’s probably why he was able to pull this off without being arrested."

You never see those two in a room together! I wonder if the real Trump is dead, or safely (but facelessly) squirreled away in a lock box.

I'm sure both Omarosa and Don King actually tell him that. He specifically cultivated exactly two black friends, and fed them the leading question "Wouldn't you say I'm the LEAST racist person in America?" just so he could say that.

His vision of the presidency seems to be based on the To Catch a Thief concept, where being a corrupt, lying, thieving piece of crap uniquely qualifies him to clean up Washington, DC. I'm kinda surprised he didn't tap Bernie Madoff for his VP.

He's like a compass pointing north, in that way.

"Because there are going to be so many of you at the polling places, it's gonna take a whole 'nother day, three weeks later, for them to be ready for you!"

Humans have safe deposit boxes, where we put things for safekeeping. Cats have safety deposit boxes, so they can set aside their safety whenever they decide it's time to do something monumentally stupid. When cats want to put their stuff someplace safe, it goes under the mattress, obviously.

I watched last season from the crossover on and loved it. This happened after I'd failed to get halfway through the pilot after three tries. The show walks a tough balance with Kara, who's mostly sweet and dorky-adorable but every once in a while comes off so naive and clueless as to appear mentally disabled. It's

Wait. No. Did that really happen? It's not some funny thing someone edited into a regular old bad film for yuks on the Internet? I just missed the Auralnauts logo on that video, right?
