What I don’t get is that the point of this seems to be to show Bran the extent of his powers, that he can change the past— but they did that through the creation of a stable time loop. Which means he CAN’T change the past. Just bring about things that already happened.

anyone else getting a super duper Borg-y feel from some scenes?

I just want some badass angel stuff out of this. Not really seeing many angels at the website, but here’s hoping for the future!

So then the incident in #0 has absolutely nothing to do with the ideological debate. It just happened to show what precognitive powers do, and to kill off a couple of characters. Great.

So do we have any idea at all how this Ulysses thing is supposed to lead to a civil war? Because the rumors were that Rhodey’s death would showcase how his powers=bad, but uh from this it sounds like Ulysses made the situation slightly less bad than it would have been otherwise.

But the novellas collection will likely eventually overlap with the Library of America. Hmm.

Content like this is always nice. I hope it reaches a few people and opens up an era for them to enjoy.

Well, remember, Warlock IS a mutant. It’s just, his mutant power is FRIENDSHIP

Came here to say this. And if you’re worried about action scenes and such being limited? Douglock. Just embrace Douglock fully for all those scenes.

Melissa McCarthy is the target of bullying. The truth is that the power of the mass mob is almost always greater than the individual, and no one, even if we…

has the camera at any other point in the series acted like that?

He’s explicitly stated they’re largely leaving 2 to gizmodo.

I may leave the site soon, but I’m definitely going to check in routinely on the Postman column. The site’s direction is terrible, but that remains incredibly enjoyable.

You are definitely NOT the only reader that feels that way.

but, as CJA herself noted in her goodbye post, that was one of the founding principles of the site, to make sure science and science fiction were in dialogue. If io9 is chucking its foundational principles, well, why does it still exist? Or does it actually still exist beyond name?

Any plans on how to stop the slowly but clearly increasing toxification of the comments section with the lovely gizmodo readership?

this is so fake. EVERYBODY knows that hoverboards don’t work on water!

Well thank God.

ok, enlighten me then. Why in the tv series does taking off a glamour only SOMETIMES remove the illusion?

yeah, I agree there. tossing in stuff for the sake of twists would be infuriating rather than “meh”
