Strong agree on all four points.

Also Lebanese.

He’ll be fine:

Technically he has! 

“Everyone” is an entirely reasonable take.  Sometimes the moral of the story is just that there are better things to spend our time on.

It’s unclear from this article whether the charges were dropped “with prejudice” (ie: the DA swears never to touch the matter again) or without (wherein the DA may bring charges again if further evidence comes to light) but at least for now he can claim as a matter of legal fact that the state dropped charges of its…

So you’re telling me that the Chicago PD — recently famous for maintaining an off-the-books “black site” facility where they would torture suspects into confessions without lawyers present — may not have been the Holmsian geniuses who cracked this case after all?

It’s a fair cop. 

It was fine.

I feel like it’s a lock that they’ll try again with Green Lantern in the nearish future, and they could do worse than to bring Strong back and never mention a word about the continuity.

...escapes into a SEPTA train, and is transported to the extradimensional cavern of an ancient wizard (Djimon Hounsou) who has searched for decades for someone to confer his powers.

The woman was _48_ when that movie came out.

I dunno, I thought Hela worked surprisingly well on several levels:

 Jason Mantzoukas’ Tick-Tock Man still hasn’t shown up

Interesting that the Disney masthead now includes both Deadpool and, uh, the fish-fucking stars of The Shape of Water, but none of the X-Men.  How the mighty have fallen.

It really is amazing how fucking cursed that show is. I hope Mr. Jurasik has taken to wearing full body armor and checking for dangling pianos when he walks down any sidewalks.  It just seems prudent under the circumstances.

As always, B5 had to one-up DS9: not only did they lose their original fx data files, but the company that made them went bankrupt, and the company that bought them went bankrupt, Warner Brothers lost the master reels, half the principal actors died before turning 55 and I’m pretty sure that whatever studio they…
