FYI: JK Simmons is 70 years old and a jacked up beast for 70! He’s definitely holding his own for his age next to Chris (43) and Dwayne (52).

I strongly disagree with your assessment of “Dot and Bubble.” I think all the signs were there that they are white supremacists. I personally didn’t pick up on it until the end, but I attribute that to my own white privilege. One of my Black friends who is a Who fan picked up on that aspect MUCH earlier in the…

For me, I think the big thing is the Dramatic Pointing was the step too far? Like, I can buy Ruby’s mother wearing something that obscures her identity when abandoning a baby, because, yeah, you don’t wanna get recognized on cameras. And add in the idea that because the Doctor (and Sutekh) weren’t close enough to see…

Right?  For me the only real “twist” of “Dot and Bubble” was the “Wow, they actually made it text, I didn’t think they’d actually do that.”

Theories I’ve heard regarding Mrs. Flood’s identity.

That’s a pretty good description of the season as a whole. It might not be the actual cause of the disarray, but it is what it feels like.

> The structural mystery of “Dot and Bubble” was deliberately designed so that you’d never guess that the real twist of it all was white supremacy.

plus keeps revenue earnings static through the 4 quarters of the fiscal year.  You don’t want to see a catastrophic drop in earnings in Q2 because nothing got released.

Yes, I’m well aware, from personal experience, it was dumb then, it’s dumb now.

I was there, youngling, when the first AD&D books were published.   Even back then there was a staggered release date.  

Everything I’ve seen so far looks really good except the release schedule, which boggles the mind. How do you not release the 3 core books at the same time? Are you going to read the PHB for 2 months? The DMG for 3 months? We don’t actually want you to play on release, you need 6 months to absorb everything...

there’s other even more dangerous things out there. Omega, for instance...

Wait, you honestly think there is a chance the small fire she started killed all of the powerful dark side force users? I mean why is that even a question you’re entertaining?

Agreed. Especially because we saw Torbin accept the poison in Episode 2. He felt guilt for what happened on Brendok, so the Jedi certainly had more to do with the deaths of the witches than Mae’s fire.

“The Boys, based on the Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson comics, debuted in 2019.”

I’m not sure I agree with your conclusion - keep in mind that the Jedi do not “recruit”, especially in this era, they “find” and “take” children who are Force-sensitive. They train all of these children. Some, like Osha, leave the Order, but most don’t. Even a mediocre Jedi like Yord will eventually reach the rank of…

Yord is not that; he is brash, quick to judgment, untrusting, suspicious.

From whence comes the beloved Psalm, “One Sith, Two Sith, Red Sith, Blue Sith”.

Ha! Spot on. Wendig’s attempt at a poem is nursery rhyme level.
