I’m not trying to be glib, but given the relatively short time Trump’s been president (no matter how long it feels like it’s been), would it be inappropriate to compare him to Hitler at a similarly-early stage in his control of the country? 1933 Hitler (which also sounds like the worst wine ever), as opposed to during …

Yes.

My parents raised me on well done and medium-well steaks. Then, one day, I was at a buffet restaurant (I wanna say at a Bonanza), ordered medium-well, and someone screwed up and gave me medium-rare. I went ahead and tried it and I was like “Holy crap, what is this?” That was probably close to 20 years ago, and in that…

I’d beg to differ on season 3. Now, the whole ‘Hydra as an Inhuman cult’ thing I could get behind. Powers Boothe sold that damn well. But when we actually saw their dark god, I and pretty much everyone I know were... unimpressed. Hive was just a bargain-basement version of the already-lackluster version of Apocalypse…

Y’know, I’d pay money to see one of these geek guests admit to being a fan of an RPG that isn’t the one that basically everybody knows (usually via parody). I’d love to see someone explain to Colbert’s or Kimmel’s audience just what Vampire: The Masquerade or Apocalypse World is.

Not gonna deny, I’m torn. On the one hand, this is an amazing show and I want more of it because I’m absolutely invested in these characters’ lives. On the other hand, “Ruthie” absolutely ripped my fucking heart out to the point where I dunno if I wanna risk being hurt like that again.

Maybe his co-star is over-the-top-Jared-Leto levels of method acting.

I’m reminded of when I worked for an AB distributor back in the early 00's, and while it wasn’t a running gag or anything we were all painfully aware of the fact that the only advertising materials (posters, etc.) featuring people of color were ads for Hurricane malt liquor. Everything else was all white girls, all…

Fair enough. I still find my mental image entertaining nonetheless.

Now I have this mental image of food show hosts taking these carefully, well-choreographed bites until everyone’s got their reactions to the food recorded -- then they shut the cameras off so everyone can go nuts and just chow down.

The character can use the Captain Marvel name, but DC can’t call the book Captain Marvel, hence the ‘Shazam’ title. The character could conceivably be called Captain Marvel all the live long day, but DC finally got tired of dealing with the various layers of confusion and said ‘screw it, he’s Shazam now.’

There are people who thought that “Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” was about 9/11.

Namely, that if he was wise enough to see the goodness in Darth Vader, why couldn’t he do the same for teenage Ben Solo?

I’m pretty sure the official answer to that is ‘They call him the Mad Titan for a reason.’ All kidding aside, some people just aren’t into reasonable, peaceful, compassionate solutions to problems.

Huh. I might have to keep an eye on this one. My roommate drinks a lot of sparkling water — he got into the habit to wean himself off soda — and he’s got an appetite like he’s feeding a tapeworm.

Holy crap, I didn’t even really think to see if this was a wide-spread problem (or maybe I just assumed it was just crappy quality and couldn’t be fixed). I’ve been struggling with this issue myself, particularly in Hyrule Warriors — heaven forbid I can switch items without also switching characters and completely…

Huh. Never heard of A-1 and mayo on a dog, but knowing my particular culinary quirks, the things that get me going taste-wise, the weird contrasts and what have you, I’m going to have to give that a try. That sounds right up my alley.

As much as Mariah’s plotline really is sitting around waiting for another shoe to drop, I will say that I actually winced a bit at the drunken, accusatory voice mails because I used to get those from my late mother. In pretty much that exact tone and cadence, too.

It’s certainly still foreshadowing (I’m assuming, this is as far as I’ve gotten). But Mariah’s paranoid and she’s likely to turn on Shades and that’ll be the catalyst.

Sounds like a plan.
