It’s almost like the characterization on some of these folks slips the more the show drifts away from the books. But that can’t be right, can it?

Oh man, I haven’t had these in forever (though I think the ones I had before were made with Frosted Flakes or something similar). Also, it occurs to me I’ve never really hard a name for them that wasn’t just someone’s family’s made-up nickname.

Speaking of Ronan, time has not been nearly as kind to him: When he popped up as a younger Accuser in Captain Marvel, he was somehow even less interesting.

Having never cooked with anchovies before, two quick questions:

I grew up with a mother, who, for all of her faults, managed to raise me on ‘Southern-style’ sweet tea (usually, but not always, ‘sun tea’). And she did so without drawing attention to the fact that there was a difference. We lived just far enough north that not everyplace does sweet tea, let alone Southern sweet tea,…

That would have been a much more effective tie-in than the Thor 2 one, which was “we spend three minutes acknowledging that Thor 2 happened and then deal with something unrelated but still Asgardian.”

What’s fascinating about the Hulk scene, then, is how thoroughly it accomplishes its goals, despite the fact that nothing that happens in it actually matters, or even makes a lick of sense. Despite Stark’s offer of implied recruitment, Thunderbolt Ross wouldn’t show up in the MCU again until Captain America: Civil War

Nope, he never did. But then, given the last time he didn’t finish a comic story until years after losing interest, we’re probably better off.

I marvel at the popularity of Jimmy Johns, given that -even by the lax standards one generally upholds chain sub restaurants to- their food is comically negligent. Their bun of dripping, iceberg lettuce-flecked mayo is as close to the physical manifestation of contempt as I can picture.

Eh, I’ll pass on both, personally. That said, I’ll let Dr. Walter Bishop take my vote and use it for Red Vines. He’s earned it.

This isn’t the place to get into it, but there’s a lot of weird shadiness with bail, bond, court costs, that sort of thing. There’s a lot of little loopholes and crap like that that courts can and will use to keep money you should be getting back -- especially if, say, an investigation has turned up something where…

I used to work for an A-B distributor. It’s possible things have changed since then, but from what I’ve seen this sort of stupid petty dick-waving is unfortunately pretty standard and entirely sincere. We just don’t normally see it this publicized.

I love cole slaw, even the cheap stuff you get from fast food restaurants, but I still can’t understand why you would hate a sandwich so much as to put slaw on it.

I’m not gonna deny, I saw the headline and immediately thought ‘I’d give my favorite restaurant a pass on one bad day, barring something really extreme.’ But holy crap, yeah, that would count.

I’m willing to agree that the chef maybe needs to get the chopstick out of his ass, but when you try to justify your indignation with...

Unpopular Opinion: While I love this episode, much like most other Buffy fans, it drives me frigging nuts when people (and there are many that will) argue that “if you only see one episode of the show, it has to be ‘Once More With Feeling’” to try and get someone into it. Everything that happens in the episode, every…

I remember when I first saw Babylon 5, back when it was in its initial airing in syndication, while struggling with insomnia in high school. I wasn’t able to keep up with every episode, but I saw most of season 2 (and I think some of 3) without having seen any of what came before.

Given its close connection to Marvel, regular tie-ins with the MCU should be easy and obvious for ABC

Am I the only one who thinks this sounds disgusting? I’m having a “feel like I’m taking crazy pills” moment that, where I like Cheetos well enough, there is literally no food-Cheetos combination that leaves me feeling anything but queasy.
