Who knew Gotham could potentially end up being the good thing with Gotham in the name? Assuming this sucks. I'd like to hold out hope, but…… yeah.

It was olden times. They didn't have much to do but sew and burn witches and celebrate Thanksgiving and stuff.

It's nice to see that we might finally get more momentum going finally. I can't tell if I'm giving the show a fair chance this half-season or not, but it's felt like an interminable amount of hours amounting to little more than Negan delivering one massive monologue, Rick not being able to make up his mind and/or

Somewhere out there is a kiosk that, rather than sell different flavors of popcorn or something, sells different flavors of cow eye. I hope.

But he'd have a mask! And he'll suffer from dissociative identity disorder that involves the mask! And he'll have been in, I think, a halfway decent horror movie! Other stuff! Also, maybe Daniel Bryan would come along as his vice president and eventually take over after Kane is impeached*.

Eh, this'll be fine. At some point Kane will come out, Tombstone everyone on the entrance stage, and we'll have our brand new Libertarian president. On the other hand, it won't be much longer until dissenters start getting the ol' car battery treatment.

All Summer Long is still infinitely worse. Fuck that fucking song. I don't even get much satisfaction from hearing Sweet Home Alabama anymore, let alone it's shitty clone. Yet I still like Devil Without a Cause. It's sad/funny/I don't know to see him go from that phase to his current Ted Nugent Lite mode. Or Ted

I still enjoyed the show due entirely to the aggressive weirdness and/or anti-comedy or whatever you'd call it, but I'm not going to mourn its end too much.

Aw. AW. And I only just recently managed to remind myself that he is in fact not Clu Gulager. For some reason the name matches up with his face in my mind constantly.

I continue to find it odd that of all the Hanna-Barbera books I expected to like Future Quest the most, since it had a solid creative team and I liked the idea of mashing all of the different action/adventure/sci-fi/etc. people into a big story. And then, while still being good technically, we ended up with multiple

I'm not even remotely an X-fan anymore, but the one takeaway from this that amused me the most was finding out both of them are apparently going to double ship every month. Yep, good idea Marvel. Go back to the twice-a-month-every-month pattern at $4 per issue. DC doing it is ALMOST but not entirely excusable at a

I still think I Am Suicide might pull things off as I keep expecting some sort of twist that either makes more sense of things or otherwise reveals that all of Selina's stuff isn't what it appears to be. Or she killed a bunch of dudes and it's exactly what it looks like. Shrug. And I'm probably headed for jettisoning

And Monsters! I'm still trying to place where I remember him from. I'm thinking either Tales from the Darkside or Monsters, but probably one of his three times on Law & Order. Or maybe either of the two X-Files episodes he did. I swear I remember him from an '80s horror movie, but not necessarily Creepshow.

Yeah, The Crew was also pretty solid, but I can only guess suffered the same fate as the preceding BP series and got axed early on. At the very least, it didn't manage to cover a dangly plot point from the Cole BP stuff that I really hoped it would.

Tonight was maybe the first time the show has really had me feeling excessively meh about it going into a new episode. Thanks, last week! But then things got better! Jesus! And Steven Ogg! And I guess the KORL/Enid stuff. But seriously, I hope Simon sticks around for a while. He's fun times.

Mostly I finished up the fourth and final Christopher Priest Black Panther collection. I really liked the switch over to Cole, but having it get cut down so fast sucked. I did just learn that the character change came about due to low sales, which I'd already assumed thanks to seeing it happen to plenty of things

I hadn't really had any issues with Batman up until the current arc. And even with some of the more "interesting" choices being made with the plot, I feel like there's some big revelation coming to fix things. Or not. At least it'll look good!

Now cast Cleavant Derricks so he can be the sole original cast member remaining when the show ends in this too.

The most I remember about Strange Luck is D.B. Sweeney and his character solving an argument in one episode by cramming a potato that looked like Elvis into a blender to shut both sides up. At least, I'm pretty sure that happened.

Except it's literally Jigsaw, via an uncredited Tobin Bell. Next season, look forward to a villain voiced by Robert Englund! Which would actually be pretty cool. Or Andrew Divoff.
