The lighter tone has been great. There can be a more serious tone as the season progresses, but the challenge for the writers is knowing that Barry shouldn’t be the brooding, mopey center of the seriousness. Barry Allen is an upbeat, kind, and confident hero. The villain should really be the source of any dark tone in…

Cyberman!

The rule thumb we have at work is that if an engineer uses a tool they will hurt themselves. Once that happens there will be an over-reaction to forbid the tool from being used by anyone as there is a safety risk. The result is that nobody lets engineers handle tools and all is well. :-)

So getting blood drawn is not a big deal for me, but getting an IV is different. When I was 15 I was in the ER and they needed to start an IV and after 4 unsuccessful attempts to get the IV started they realized the tip of the IV was bent and ended up putting the IV in the back of my hand.

I smell a little bit of hate here.

Here I always thought Satan was red, but he is actually orange with a dyed blonde comb-over to cover his horns.

Cinefix on YouTube did a great video about The Battle of the Bastards.

Ok this movie may be a a Christmas movie, but it is not a better Christmas movie than A Christmas Story. I refuse to tolerate any such assertion.

I think “The Standing Deuce” is better. It rolls of the tongue.

Violent Cannibas? New strain?

I certainly have preferred fantasy over reality in my fictional entertainment this year. Not only have I enjoyed many of the movies mentioned above but I have been enjoying fantasy books as well.

Relaxing??? I think not. There is much violence going on at the molecular levels that this represents destruction at its finest. /s

The Browns fans really should be the charitable cause that Browns players support. Their financial support of a franchise that has actively worked to be horrible is clearly indicative of a mental illness that needs study and treatment.

Bomani Jones said on his show last week that NFL players need request designs for causes the NFL isn’t necessarily comfortable with. He’s right, because then the league has to talk about things that make them uncomfortable.

Okay, crazy theory: Clara Oswald and Me take their TARDIS back to Gallifrey a year or so before The Doctor is born. Clara marries the father of The Doctor and becomes “The Mother of The Doctor”.

Your response really speaks to me, even in silence. Of course The Doctor will always come along and upend the plans of Silence.
