I haven’t watched Riverdale, but I love the concept and the execution that they went for with it... and the idea of seeing Sabrina the Teenage Witch in THAT world is a genuinely cool one! Might just get me interested enough to start in on season one...

Well, crap. The inclusion of Hawk and Dove suggests that maybe they didn’t change up the original Akiva Goldsman draft and pitch as much as I was hoping. (Goldsman originally packaged the show to sell to TNT, but they turned him down. When the show became a streaming series, Berlanti and Johns came on to rewrite the

One can only hope. This series is being developed by Greg Berlanti (who can usually crank out at least ONE good season of every show he makes) and Geoff Johns (love him or hate him, he’s a DC authority)... based on a script and pitch by Akiva Goldsman.

(... Sh*t.)

It was amazing. Like, the most astonishingly wrong-headed take on that particular character you could have ever come up with. It almost seemed like a parody.

My favorite bit, to this day, remains the interrogation scene, where she plops the Lasso of Truth down on a man’s chest, asks him some questions, and when he

Well, considering that, up to this point, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been regarded as the red-headed step-child of the MCU, they were probably trying to avoid any associations to keep from tainting the Inhumans brand.

... Ironically, said Inhumans brand is now so toxic and radioactive— even BEFORE the show has debuted—

I think technically it would be called “youngling-icide” in that movie.

On one hand, this is GREAT news, because Drew Goddard doing anything is always great news.

Well, to each his or her own. Kinda sounds like a horror story about a malevolent clown monster specifically attacking a bunch of kids wouldn’t be your cup of tea, then.

... Also, I would stay away from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

I’d watch a truly dire pile of shit for Adrienne Palicki.” 

Have you seen the 2011 Wonder Woman pilot by David E. Kelley?

My feeling on this is that a willingness to show graphic violence against a kid is a good thing... as long as it serves a clear story function. And it certainly does in It. Considering this is a movie where all of the principle characters are children, it would sort of defuse the tension if we realized at some point

For God’s sake, man, don’t leave out The Dead Zone!

They DID get a big chuckle from me for making the last line of the episode, uttered by the Terror, literally, “Cliffhanger!”

Depends on the season.

I think you mean “one of the BEST scenes of the show”.

No... I’d argue that it’s just too f$#*ing late to educate them. This sh*t is a product of the systemic failure of our educational system to train children to think critically— you know, the thing they need to do to not be vitriol-parrotting, blithering morons.

I really, really hope he doesn’t start this series as Nightwing. I HATE the concept of Nightwing.

Okay, does the fact that I didn’t know what “dabbing” was before clicking this article mean that I am finally an old, out-of-touch geezer, or that this is kind of a stupid and pointless phenomena not worth expending the brainpower to learn about?

Sooooo I’m a complete neophyte when it comes to GoT, with only a passing familiarity with most of the characters and virtually no knowledge of the lore. But from a sheerly dramatic standpoint, if someone was going to have to die to fight off the ice zombie invasion... wouldn’t it be the most dramatically satisfying

Exactly. At this point, with all the quality streaming and TV options out there, coupled with the availability of review aggregators and the speed of bad word-of-mouth on social media, I’d say the key to getting audiences back into theaters should be pretty simple:

Wow. Ya’ gotta kind of feel bad for David Mazouz here... I mean, the kid’s mostly been able to hold on to his dignity as Bruce Wayne, one of the surprisingly decent parts of this awful, misbegotten show.
