I don’t know how true it is but I’ve heard rumors that, before Elisabeth Sladen’s passing, there were plans to have Ace show up (and possibly join the cast) in what would have been the next season of Sarah Jane Adventures.

That’s definitely an underrated moment. Thinking about that also brings to mind Yvonne Hartman after her Cyber-conversion in ‘Doomsday.’ “I did my duty for Queen and country.”

The numbering’s probably unavoidable with the article template.

I’ve seen someone float the theory that maybe, this time, he will be ready to go.

Agreed. It’s been done, we’ve seen it, we should be past it. The most interesting companions have been the ones that spend time on character development rather than making googly eyes at the back of the Doctor’s head.

My response wasn’t directed at the notability, my response was directed at the sheer amount of faux-confusion Barsanti’s written into the article, as if this is some bizarre new concept being presented.

I still haven’t seen season 5.

This article feels like a lot of words to say “This is gonna be kinda like Moon Knight, where it was clearly in the setting but still kinda standalone” without actually acknowledging the Moon Knight series.

I don’t think you can really sell a horror ‘cinematic universe,’ for the reasons mentioned here. The ‘cinematic universe’ branding has very specific baggage at this point. But a bunch of mostly-unconnected movies that take place in the same setting, and as time goes on certain characters start recurring? I think you…

It’s a paradox that the MBA types don’t get: limitations breed creativity, and more resources stifle creativity.

“I have to tell them, ‘There’s no more in the back, I’m not hiding it from you,’” one employee told me. “I’ve been doing this for twenty years. And that’s all I can say.”

You’re probably right. I think I’ve just still got strike talking points in my head. It just feels like something about the tone of it’s shifted, but it probably is just me.

Like every other studio that foolishly stumbled into the streaming business 10 years late, only to find, yup, no money there,

So I’m of two minds on this. On the one hand, I’m kinda glad we didn’t wind up with an ongoing parade of Star Wars movie one-offs — I liked Solo, but I feel like it would have gotten old quick. Leave that stuff for the comics, novels, and the occasional TV series.

I’m obviously just guessing here, but I can imagine the possibility that what we saw of his situation on Tatooine was the low point in his crime boss career. Sure, by everyone else’s standards it’s a pretty sweet setup, but for all we know that was the Hutt version of being exiled to Schitt’s Creek.

I strongly suspect they’re planning on bumping things forward a bit, but want to make sure they’ve got a firm plan in place for what they’re doing and where it’s going to go before anyone outside of Disney hears about it. While I’m not holding my breath, I am hoping that a bunch of the stuff they’ve done to explore Man…

Not that I’m in a position to see it often, but a few times over the years I’ve seen or heard of fast food restaurants letting truckers walk up to the window after dining room hours since they can’t take their trucks through the drive thru.

Pro tip from someone actually from Fairmont, where pepperoni rolls anecdotally originate: Sometimes, before we warm them up, we slice them open a bit along the side and scoop in some Oliverio’s peppers in sauce. (https://www.oliveriopeppers.us/all-products?Category=Peppers+in+Sauce). Some local grocery stores even…

Giuseppe Argiro, a Sicilian immigrant who worked in West Virginia coal mines. Stories say that when he opened a bakery in Fairmont, he remembered his coal miner friends eating a stick of salami in one hand and a hunk of bread in the other.

In the paper they do acknowledge the limitation of the lack of a control group drinking decaf and/or a control group who aren’t habitual coffee drinkers, and suggest including those in future studies.
