That was my thought as well, but judging from his use of International English, I think he might be British and not aware of the OKC attack that was America’s worst terrorist attack until 9/11. (And before you criticize him for it: do you remember the London terrorist attacks in 2006?)

Fair point on Stranger Things, but it’s also unequivocal science fiction. That’s not the same thing as an alternate reality. Moreover, there’s an entirely logical explanation for what happened to Margo: she decided to try & flee and was either already out of the building when the bombs went off, or well on her way –…

Here’s just a partial list of the does-not-compute parts of the finale:

Somewhat of a nitpick—are we supposed to believe that William, first on an old pickup truck and then a freaking horse, beat Charlotte to the dam site?

The finale is so final I had to check to see if Westworld was going to have a fifth season. To my surprise, the show has not been renewed yet, but Ed Harris has made comments suggesting the show isn’t over.

One problem with this scenario: at some point during the 30-year interim between last season and this one – including the initial seven-year time jump, followed by the mindfucker 23-year jump mid-season – people start driving cars with ICE (internal combustion engine) propulsion, not EVs. Where, then, did MIB stop for…

Am I the only one wondering if the “Supergirl” finale was what really sealed this show’s fate? It ended with mild-mannered former editorial assistant Kara not only taking over running the entirety of CatCo Media, but also coming out of the closet as Supergirl. (And, of course, Superman’s most infamous enemy became…

This is also a new Diggle. David Ramsey had grown a beard and grew his hair out.

Definitely encouraging! I caught Omicron in January despite being triple-vaccinated and wearing a KN95 mask 99% of the time in public. Only had two days of mild symptoms, mainly fatigue, and am definitely hopeful I still have immunity now that yet another wave is in the process of hitting the US.

[H]opefully meaning Isa Briones will actually get something to do next season, as her time in this one was a major injustice compared to her role in season one

Does this qualify as selective retconning? On TOS WWIII took place in the mid-’90s, but even for “Into Darkness” they had to explain the discrepancy between Khan and the obvious lack of a nuclear war IRL. (Yes, I obviously know “Picard” is separate from the Kelvin timeline. But still.)

I’m probably dating myself here, but if we’re going old-school, I’d argue the worst vehicular product placements to date were the trio of Ford subcompacts used on the original “Charlie’s Angels” series (by the three Angels): a Mustang II, a Mustang “Cobra” (in reality a gussied-up Mustang II with a hatchback) and ...…

Yeah, but it’s an origin story of his first mission as a 00, and he picks up the legendary DB5 barely 15 minutes later (in terms of screen time) after winning it in a poker game.

I’d give this one a pass if only because nearly all of said GMs – excepting the CTS – were total pieces of garbage & readily worth the sacrifice. They would’ve otherwise ended up getting sold to some rental car agency as leftovers, for the most part, also excepting a Tahoe or two that didn’t totally suck.

Last year, Toyota moved about 6,800 units. It’s not clear if people who wanted the manual Supra simply gave up on waiting and moved onto either a different car altogether or just settled for an automatic Supra.

I certainly don’t disagree about Uber’s greed, but letting drivers set their own rates is simply unworkable from the consumer’s end – which we (as a society) established nearly 80 years ago when the first taxicabs started to emerge in NYC. (It’s been tried by taxis in various cities since then, always with disastrous…

Might’ve helped to mention that there’s already an extant case history involving drivers seeking reclassification. The NLRB ruled in favor of drivers, only to have their opinion overturned by the D.C. Circuit.

Yup – was about to note that myself. Vin’s ego is too big for him to admit Dwayne’s six inches taller than him, so the films’ directors either use camera tricks to obfuscate the differential (e.g. having him stand well behind Vin in shots at a distance) or, in the case of this Brazil-set scene, presumably having Vin…

I was surprised by that part of Vin’s post as well, since up until this point he’s maintained that the 11th movie would be the finale. That said: yes, Universal (the studio) has already announced plans for multiple future spinoffs, including a second “Hobbs & Shaw” movie – which IIRC The Rock has already signed on for…

Even if you’re not personally a fan of The Actor Formerly Known As The Rock, that’s definitely not the case in general, considering he’s quite literally one of the highest-paid and best-known actors on the planet today (and the one with the largest Instagram following).
