There is a critical mistake that a lot of genre fiction makes that the entry doesn’t dispel which is the timing of Templars’ creation. Contrary to what some prominent Tom Hanks films would have you believe, the Templars did not lead the First Crusade. They were created after the founding of the Kingdom of Jerusalem…

You know Milwaukee isn’t the only part of Wisconsin that has black people. Also nice try placing the blame for his own mistakes on Chicago-North. Much as you may not want to admit it Milwaukee is still Wisconsin.

I wish all gun advocates had the same idea. You are exactly the kind of rational voice we need. Thank you.

Is it just me or does Bucky’s uniform look oddly similar to Cap’s? A slightly light shade of grey on the midriff.

To be fair, we have seen more than a few rebellions succeed just in the last five years. Between Kiev and the Arab Spring more than few governments, well armed ones, have been toppled by civilians.

Now its critical to note that the pattern that emerged is that protests lead to clashes which lead to armed insurgency.…

A: I never said “History is a Science.” I said History is more akin to Science than it is to story telling or literature because it is grounded in the compiling of data and the application of analytical method to that data.

Partially but it’s also social history, Annales, quantitative history, and on and on. However, even in traditional empirical histories the goal is still to reach a conclusion based on evidence, not just tell a tale.

That way, when the movie flipped the script and made Phelps the villain, that shift actually meant something to the viewer.

Wrong, History absolutely is more akin to science than it is the “stories.”

Other way around. The campy world of the Bat-usi hasn’t happened yet. What we’re seeing on Gotham is the city about to go technicolor.

Yes the years are off but I’m sure there’s a wibbly wobbly timey wimey explanation.

I knew it!!!

Hey that could be a good thing if they commit completely.

I’ve heard a great theory that what we’re actually seeing is a prequel to Batman ‘66. This trailer seems to fit nicely into that model. Check out the weird, mod camera angles in some of the shots and the campy horizontal striped prisoner getups. Jerry also seemed to be channeling good old Cesar Romero, all he needs is…

“This is what equality looks like. Sorry.”

There’s still time to make Lupita into Ventress. Just saying.

I will always have a soft spot for her for giving the world this scene.

Right, maybe the aliens were running Linux!

But Dr Oken said they postulated some kind of ESP since they lacked vocal chords to communicate.

Strange they didn’t clue into some kind of robot with all that technology around.

Sure, lets operate on this hostile alien, that think has some kind of telepathy, while its still alive, in a room without security and without strapping it down to anything.
