I’ve always said I’d love to see a prequel series or a comic giving us an idea of what a ‘normal’ Avatar’s life is like. Not that any of them are strictly normal, but one where the four nations co-exist more or less peacefully and the world hasn’t been utterly wrecked by war. Even the period from Legend of Korra…

Ooooh, this is a tricky one. I mean, I loves me some hot dogs and lemon slushies, I really do. But the triple-threat of popcorn, pretzel, and the corn dog cinches it for me. I gotta vote for Marnie on this one.

The Brain of Morbius, a story that aired in 1976. Spoiler for a 44-year old Doctor Who episode: Towards the end, the Fourth Doctor goes into a psychic battle with another Time Lord named Morbius, and there are images of the Doctor’s previous incarnations and some unidentified faces thrown in (which actually appear…

Appropriately enough, given the post these comments are attached to, there’s an audio play that does a pretty solid Weeping Angel story. It actually manages, despite the lack of visuals, to properly portray the feeling of people trying not to blink as they dart around. The story in question is called ‘Fallen Angels,’ f…

The original show implied that Hartnell was a later incarnation back in the 70's, and had the original show continued they actively planned to reveal the Doctor was a reincarnation (not a regeneration) of The Other, one of the three Time Lords responsible for their entire society (alongside Rassilon and Omega). So the…

Maybe it’s the only one of those places he’d heard of or knew anything about?

I know I’ve harped on this before, but given that this entire Snyder Cut business was based on the claim that there was an entire finished movie that effectively got paved over, why should there be any concern about anything shot by Joss? I mean, Joss is an asshole and I don’t give two shits about either cut of the…

It’s weird for me, that being the final question, because I grew up in WV (where the Greenbrier is) and I knew that before I got out of junior high. I’m not sure I’ve ever met anyone who didn’t know that.

When it’s ‘preferred,’ people will prefer not to wear the masks. I live in WV where there was no mask order until very recently. So when it’s voluntarily, I’d see maybe at most 1/4-1/3 of the people in Walmart wearing them. Even fewer at Kroger.

I know certain types of hearing aids and implants can actually make it physically difficult to manage the straps on a mask. But then, again, they can just have someone shop for them and deal with it.

I don’t know the specifics on the pie thing, I’d have to check. It’s possible it could be some sort of ‘have to move inventory to get more’ thing, I dunno. Could just be corporate ass-covering. All I know is that when the pies are on sale, it’s because the manager has been told by their boss (usually a franchisee)…

I’m sorely tempted to get the stuff to make this, because it sounds intriguing. However, I know my roommate would refuse to try it because he’s boring, and I’m not sure if I want to go to the trouble just for myself. Hm.

The visual novel (of a sort) 428: Shibuya Scramble, which uses extensive still photos and occasional live-action footage, was shot on location throughout Shibuya. And the director there did the same thing, with crewmembers whose job it was to get arrested by the cops and slow them down long enough for everyone else to…

Beautifully put. I remember watching this when I was, I wanna say, 13 or 14 when it first came out on VHS, and I remember having heard of the effort they’d put into making Martin Short look like a kid and all that (like the ‘maze’ built into the floor for the party sequence) and being legitimately impressed by said…

And yes, this violates the same ethics laws that his daughter’s tweet flouted the day before.

While I do hope people enjoy this, I’ve seen enough TV and webcomics in this vein over the years that the trailer doesn’t really show me anything I haven’t seen before.

I’m surprised there’s not mention of how, reportedly, Gene originally envisioned Troi as a four-breasted nymphomaniac who was going to throw herself at various crewmembers until D.C. Fontana talked him out of that. You have to wonder how that impacted Troi’s presence on the show if, say, he resented not having his…

Not gonna deny, a spinoff about the Bad Batch A-Teaming it around the galaxy is something I’ve been dying to hear about ever since that final season of Clone Wars.

Similarly, when you go through a fast food drive-thru and they go out of their way to tell you about a two-for-one deal with their pies or what have you, take that as a sign that they’ve got a bunch they need to move quick before they go bad. Learned that from my roommate from when he worked at McD’s.

And yet that name is probably the second-most-interesting thing about him, after the coat. ‘Generic growly video game protagonist’ is an unearned compliment given his personality, IMHO.
