Honestly, I kinda knew that Blaine was faking (either having never lost his memory or gotten it back from the serum), for the plain and simple reason that if he wasn't, then that meant that Major was just going to become a blank slate and having two characters do that would just boring and repetitive. At best it would…

Prediction: The girl that Major invited over thinks he actually did do it and is a fetishist for that sort of thing, like people who fall in love with convicted serial killers.

That might be the most normal and reasonable thing I've ever heard described as happening there.

I'd be fucking _proud_ to know I managed to hate that asshole to death. Don't tease me like this, Bill.

You do need to track that one down, actually. I've listened to it and I'd forgotten how much I'd missed those two. The chemistry is still there.

Look, your own private in-joke is never going to land the way you want with a wider audience. If you don't want people to mock stupid lyrics, don't write/sing stupid lyrics.

Yeah, it felt like someone wrote two completely different endings to the episode and shuffled dialogue from both of them together like playing cards.

And even then, it's worth noting that the whole "Hydra predates the Nazis" thing is a retcon intended to try and distance them from the Nazis.

See, I don't blame Kendall Jenner, but I'm not sure Pepsi needed to apologize to her, either.

Well, in my case, I'm in my mid-30's and don't go out of my way to follow music outside of recommendations from friends. Which means that any act that's only become popular in the last decade is entirely unknown to me until they start trending on Twitter or some such — usually because they're breaking up or someone is…

I'd be less concerned about the depiction of the suicide than showing teens that the "If I kill myself, they'll all be sorry" thing totally works.

I'm honestly not trying to earn any hipster d-bag cred here, but I literally never heard of these guys before people started losing their shit meh-ing at the SNL appearance.

Actually, you make a good point. I made the mistake of erring on the side of assuming malice rather than incompetence, which is an assumption that normally pays off when it comes to Marvel and DC.

I'll be honest, it'd make a better comic book than a movie but I'd pay money to see sort of a 'day in the life at Jabba's palace' from Bib Fortuna's perspective.

Basically every sci-fi series with aliens has implied that at some point. But yes, I think Star Trek specifically goes out of its way to do so.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone let it slip through just so they could use it as an excuse to stop hiring Muslim writers. That's the sort of crap this industry pulls.

Sort of. There are a handful of characters in both Marvel and DC who refuse to acknowledge characters like Thor and Zeus as literal gods and see them as powerful aliens or sorcerers or mutants or what have you. (The fact that Marvel has gone back and said 'oh, by the way, angels and demons were mutants' doesn't help.)

She warded off Storm, during the story where Dracula tried to take her as a bride. She might have held back Dracula as well, but I distinctly remember the bit with Vampire-Storm.
But it was indeed Dracula that Wolverine couldn't ward away, because Dracula goes out of his way to call that out.

Yup, that's a pretty interesting "Blocked for copyright reasons" message, I tell you what. (Seriously, nobody could find an official legal upload for this?)

Wasn't there also a study suggesting that more than a few of the seizure cases from the clip being replayed on the news were entirely subconsciously self-induced by kids expecting a reaction? Or am I thinking of something else?
