Super sorry I missed the Fits and Right Now, Wrong Then when I had the chance. Neither—particularily the latter—feels like it's going to be a hard get a second crack at.

Man, these pop-tunes all have the same hooks. And we ran out of original books too.

There's not enough pao de queijo in this conversation.

I have a Transformers superfan who lends me the comics once in a while that I'm going to ask about this. The one's he's lent me I've always found well-made and enjoyable. I do get lost fairly easily in them though. The continuity can be distracting in Age of Ultron kinda way—not necessary to follow, but I know you're…

You know, with all the Black Noun books, I'm completely thrown by the fact there's a third word in title, and my brain refuses to remember it. But yes, Black Monday Murders it is!

For all the action that it actually has, it's also a slow/meticulous build-up. I should check out the trades. I followed it monthly for quite a while and lost steam that way, but I always take peeks.

An entire episode of him picking up groceries for an elderly neighbor doubles as accidentally investigating an illegal track suit smuggling ring!

I don't think there are enough issues of it to say best of this year, but I'm really enjoying Black Monday. Pretty and meaty. Vision is the best this year though.

It's interesting to reread his Iron Fist run with Brubaker as a kind of warm-up for the Hawkeye.

I think a general is going to run out of the war room during a briefing: "Go get Obama!" A secret service agent will commandeer a bicycle and pedal mightly to the split-level that Obama's now living in, drinking tea or just whittling affordable housing or something. He'll see the young agent coming, sigh, and say "I…

Very aggressive rating (meaning I throw a lot of 1s around) means that they predicted ratings for me are honestly pretty solid—it does not stop Netflix from regularily suggesting things they know I'd hate.

Walton Goggins seems to have turned out fine, but I suppose he's the exception. I love the Shield, but I think the show missed out on being a real hit/boost by being a smidge early.

I remember hearing many years ago that McDonalds would keep the AC on colder than comfortable to make it unpleasant, so people would leave faster. I suspect that may be the case with the antiseptic look Five Guys goes for.

It's not expense, it's actually that it's too cheap and we get served enormous amounts of fries (most food, really). The "regular" fries from 5 Guys has definitely decreased in size, it used to be a medium drink cup filled and then a small tray filled and dumped into your bag, and now it's a small drink cup, so this…

Flip over? Toss some cheese over it and be done with it.

3 of the last 4 systems…it seems like you should stop then?

That is a weirdly passive assessment of Uplink in the article. Just lay out there, "it was fueled by 90's hacking movies, which is pointed to with it's in-jokes and nods".

Newsroom.

I think it's their range generally narrows, but isn't as expressive in some ways. Like the rub off the Britishness, but don't achieve an "American" accent completely.

Didn't really watch the show myself, so I don't have much to say other than I find the general tone of discussion more pleasant than I expected. I feel like fan discussions usually take a ride-or-die approach to assessing topics, so this is pleasant by comparison.
