Dagnabbit: I officially, formally gave up on Alan Moore and Frank Miller a year or two ago because I was sick of the cynicism, but this sounds like something I'd enjoy enough to go back on that. Probably not going to hit the top of my Superman stories, as I tend to like my takes on Superman to be aspirational (my top…

I don't know Supreme. Any spoiler-free impressions of it you can offer me to sell me on reading it ahead of the work reading I have to do?

I read Superman: Secret Identity a couple months ago and, man alive, I want to read that book again right now. It's so humane. This new run on Superman's ongoing books looks like it might be in a similar vein.

I wonder if she'll recount the night in 2007 or so when I saw FWAND perform at UCB and she was really, really funny.

I'm gonna go ahead and say it: I love Bryan Fuller, I dig the heck outta this book, but I fear that this will be an epic mis-match of artist and subject for me. American Gods worked for me because the story had a worn-out, dusty naturalism to it. I'm pretty sure Fuller is the perfect person to dramatize The House On…

I agree.

Me, too. It didn't go the way I thought it would—I expected to find out that the whole final season was "Flashes Before Your Eyes" writ large, with all the characters deciding they "have to go back"—but it found a way to end by resolving the "live together/die alone" tension that was maybe the show's most-referred-to…

At the beginning of this episode, someone says that Richard must know what to do and Richard lets out this little, I'm-absolutely-at-the-end-of-my-rope laugh that is maybe the best moment of the show.

The actresses aren't what appears to be the problem with the movie: Leslie Jones and Kristin Wiig are fine, Kate McKinnon is a rare comic talent, and it will be great to finally get Melissa McCarthy out of the boorish mode that has defined her recently and get back to seeing a wider range from her. I'm even going to…

Powerlessness? She's been calling the shots in King's Landing for literally the entire series. Ned never would have been executed had she not, you know, torn up the edict he bore from the king without consequence and decided the time, place and manner of his trial.

Why? I'm so deeply confused by the idea of applauding Cersei or being comfortable with her wielding any kind of authority.

Yeah. No need to worry. He at the Frey pie.

I was thinking the same thing.

He obviously had eaten some already: He was finishing up eating something when Arya came to give him seconds, and there was already a slice missing from the pie when she cut off his second plateful.

Does anyone else miss the "Next Week on Mad Men" promos?

Wasn't the girl from Heroes whose last name I can't spell supposed to be in this?

Wait what???

That's great news. Thank you!

Beakman and Bill Nye competing to be the true successor to Mr. Wizard was basically Letterman vs. Leno to succeed Carson, but for kids.

So, whatever happened to the Whit Stillman pilot they aired half of?
