David Warner sounds like a lovely man, and someone I'd like to have come visit and regale us with stories regularly. Great stuff, Will.

I keep beating the drum for a Three-and-Android centered spinoff from the Killjoys team. I feel like that would basically strip away 95% of everything I dislike about Dark Matter, and inject some badly needed coherence in the world-building.

That's a great point, and something I think applies to Killjoys as well.

Hannah John-Kamen is absolutely killing it on, er, Killjoys, so I'm excited to see her name attached.

Maybe it's the proportional powers of a bat?

To be fair, the general idea is "what if Dungeons and Dragons had a baby with Neuromancer and it all happened on Earth"? Since the answer was "cybernetically enhanced criminals that mix fireballs with motorcycles and sniper rifles while hacking into megacorporations run by dragons", a LOT of us geeked out over it. And…

It's hard to nail down one, but I think it would be either any one of Bruce Hornsby's innumerable piano solos off any number of tracks from Harbor Lights or Hot House, or Dylan's harmonica solo at the end of "Tangled Up In Blue". The former are virtuosic jazzy wonders, and the latter is just a perfect melancholy howl,…

Totally agreed. There's a ton of drama (and alternate history what-ifs, if you wanna go that direction too) to be found in the centuries of foundation, expansion and decay. Exploration, conquest, nation-building, internecine politics, cultural clashes, barbarians, hubris…. it's all right there! It's a huge canvas…

Yeah, the women's match was excellent I thought, and a weird oversight in the recap. I also liked how everyone wanted a shot at beating up Lana.

He added, “I am no danger to pull a gun on anybody”

Lee gets his balls shined by Lost Cause fuckos because he had the advantage of being "moderately shitty with flashes of humanity here and there" as opposed to "completely shitty".

Given that the current president is someone who by all accounts forms "policy" and makes "decisions" based on whatever he watched on TV yesterday (and I can't believe I have to say that without a trace of snark), I'm not sure we need to be giving him any ideas about how to further institutionalize oppression and…

I remember having gazpacho for the first time as a teenager, when my stepfather (who spent a good deal of time in Spain) made it for dinner one night. The thought of cold vegetable soup was repellent to me, but one taste and I was hooked. It really is great stuff.

What the living fuck is this even about?

He really did seem to morph into a different guy when he ran for president. Having lived in Arizona for the last 20 years (I know, I know, don't get me started), he seemed to be at least a moderately independent thinker with the courage of his convictions as far as GOP pols went, but running for prez against Bush just…

A++ on that one, dude.

Whoa, buddy! You're never gonna start a pun thread if you just shotgun 'em all out in the first post!

And all this time I was wondering if Corbin actually HAD a character!

I'm a total mark for Gallagher and Rich Swann. Ali's growing on me and Tozawa's fun to watch. Neville's getting a little one-note for me though. I get that "pure heel" is the gig, but… I dunno, man.

This is an excellent point.
