I assumed they just gave her one of those "backwards hats" that I'm given to understand are all the rage among the hip-hop community

I saw that too! I pretty much only enjoy the competitive sports like volleyball, so at first I was like "cycling, ugh", but they were going down these windy paved streets at like 40mph…then the crash happened, and yeah, the angle her head was at made me think maybe she was dead, and the announcers moved on fast. In

She's funniest with events she knows the least about. I thought her fencing tweets were hilarious. "How do they score this? Does someone have to get stabbed?!"

I clicked it for ya. She's #2

The only Clueless remake I'll ever need is the "Fancy" music video

Looks delicious, but he put the lime in his citrus squeezer facing the wrong way. Pet peeve.

That definitely feels like some exposition that Christopher Walken's 'cat whisperer' character could deliver. They should have hired you on as the sixth screenwriter

This is one of those later-season episodes where Sam inexplicably starts acting like a cat, and Al has to remind him to focus on the task at hand, but then at the last minute Sam turns almost completely cat-like, and if he doesn't accomplish his goal he'll be trapped as a cat forever.

I'm interested in the 'homework effect' concept, and how it relates to long-running TV series with tight continuity. Breaking Bad, for example, represents something like 60 hours of content, and maybe you didn't really need to see what came before to basically understand what was going on, but on the other hand it

Castration anxieties — because they're going to get the cat fixed, and they don't know Kevin Spacey is inside the cat?

She wants to sell tickets as much as the next guy, and she's going to have a lot of pressure from producers and execs to conform to the house style. We'll (or, someone will) see when it comes out, but you don't hire Gal Gadot because you loved her complex character work in Fast & Furious 6, right?

My prediction for Wonder Woman: yes, she'll be sexually objectified by the camera to some degree; however, we won't be complaining that she isn't a strong, independent female character; double-however, the film will be an overall disappointment (at the very least).

I don't know tech stuff!

Captain Marvel is a special case; I guarantee you nobody at DC was pestering writers to protect the Suicide Squad IP in the 80s. Back then, editorial mandates more often involved attempts to pre-empt original gender-swapped characters that might be created as supporting characters in TV shows (Spider-Woman, She-Hulk).

Alias. Also works for the eponymous tv show, though I always refer to Jennifer Garner as Alias.

'And for the man whose name loosely translates as “Tiny Saturday,” life has since become one Large Monday.' Don't even have to check the byline.

Hey, just because a show takes The Flash's timeslot doesn't mean it's a comic book show. Or else we have to count VR5.

TV and movies shouldn't be brought into this…those have to use pre-existing IPs for practical reasons, and we'll probably never see a major original character or concept on the screen before it hits the page.

When it comes to the comics (not movies/TV), I disagree. I dont think the publishers care one way or another; there's no reason to believe recycled IPs like Flash and Green Lantern would do better than fresh ones like Iron Man and Thor, for example. It's just a case of creators like Julius Schwartz and Roy Thomas
