Oh my goodness.
Now I'm imagining the Breen Off-World Children's Choir.
(You've never heard Handel's "Messiah" until you've been blasted with 140 dB of electronic static.)

I liked this anecdote posted on Memory Alpha:

I wanted to say a word of praise for David Bell's music.

Martok, with his low-born blood and all-around awesomeness

UPN Teaser Narrator: The DS9 writers claim that audiences want strong characters and smart plots.

Last week had the DS9 vapor-review (Zack was on vacation), so I'm starting to wonder if Sonia is deliberately putting something odd in the listings, to test who is reading.

More than that.
I believe it was the glut of movies like "Hostel" that led Whedon to comment that he is not a fan of torture porn.

Agents of MR CLEAN

"Your agents can't even alphabetize correctly.
Like on this page, it should have Neil before Zod."

Joffrey gets bad advice from Jim Levenstein about what to do with this pie.

And knowing is half the battle.

I don't know, and I don't care.

From the producers of Four Weddings and a Funeral…

Deep Space Nine
At the end of last week's review, Zack said that he would be on vacation, and the next Star Trek review would be on the 24th.
Has this changed (since it is still listed for the 17th)?
Or did Sonia forget to change the line-up?

Definitely in the comic books.

Someone else already pointed out that the machine gun would have blasted any moving metal. So for plot reasons.

Strange doesn't normally have a handy supply of decapitated blue aliens with resurrecting blood. Or brain-operating torture machines.

In a shocking twist, the real Grant Ward was given an Extremis variant that made him look like a blue alien, and gave him resurrecting blood.

On most other shows, they would have to do the world building to increase the audience's awareness of AIM (without giving away that they are building up to a punchline). I don't think AIM has been mentioned more than once, when they mentioned Extremis?

In your second example, it would be like they revealed Cap's death in a Spider-Man issue that came out the same week as the Cap comic… the aftermath should be there, but sufficiently after the fact for people who wanted to read the source (but didn't have the chance to read Cap the very instant it came out).
