The bigger sticking point is that The Chase will almost certainly be one of ABC’s “run 12 weeks in the summer” shows that they shoot over the course of a week or two in the spring. Hosting Jeopardy, on the other hand, would probably require Jennings to relocate permanently to LA, but he’s happy in the Seattle area and…

They announced the tragic cancelation of TBH back on October 5.

And then we exported College Bowl to the UK, where it became University Challenge, and 52 years later IT’S STILL ON.

“The only people who can get away with being mean are rock stars or brain surgeons or Mr. Phil.”

A sitcom doesn’t leap to mind, but it’s similar to the story of The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension—early on in production, they got constant studio notes regarding the daily footage turned in. As it went on, they got less and less feedback. After it had been quiet for a bit, they went out to a…

The oldest man ever elected POTUS was Donald Trump, by a few months. The oldest man to ever BE President was Ronald Reagan at the end of his second term, with a bowl of warm tapioca pudding for a brain. If he is hopefully elected, Biden will on his first day in office be the oldest man to ever be President, by just…

I thought the book did a very good job of convincing me that McDonald did not receive a fair trial, something which I think you could demonstrate about a LOT of accused people in much more mundane cases. It didn’t make a very good case for actual innocence though.

I remember it being Tommy Hilfiger, but yeah, it was a wild choice.

This feels like they took the first four issues commissioned for Detective Comics after the G5 event, threw them in the trash after G5 was canceled, then discovered them later and said “Elsewords mini whynot?”

I’d love a third season of Doom Patrol. What I’d more immediately love is the season finale to the second season of Doom Patrol.

I wouldn’t say you “explode,” but the reality is that you’re not going to die of the cold or the radiation, you’ll suffocate but not in the way people think. The real danger isn’t the lack of air, it’s the lack of air PRESSURE. Exposed to raw vacuum, tissue expands rapidly...not enough that you burst, but enough that…

Three times, kinda. Canceled by FOX after season 3. Renewed by Netflix for a fourth season, then given a 5th-and-final order to air in two chunks of 8 episodes each. Then Netflix decided that 5 won’t be the end, that 6 will definitely be the end. Expect the Dread Pirate Netflix to continue promising to kill Lucifer in…

Regarding point 1, a central point is that Lucifer considers the “Father of Lies” thing to be slander of the highest order, and generally makes a point of refusing to lie, at least explicitly. He introduces himself as Lucifer, says that he’s the devil, that his father is God and his brother is an angel, all of that.…

Thank you. As I scrolled through the comments, I was increasingly concerned I’d have to be the one explaining it.

Much like the “literature” subsection in bookstores is just a euphemism for “fiction that somebody has decided is respectable”, “graphic novel” is just code for “comic book that somebody has decided is respectable.” Given that I think “genre” fiction and comic books are perfectly respectable on their own, I understand…

They kissed and talked about how they wished she was older so they could be together during the Brood saga, which happens prior to her 14th birthday. When she turns 14, he’s explicitly identified as 19. She then starts open-mouthed kissing him to embarrass him.

The ligature Æ, after all, is pronounced “ash.”

Right now, Lalo has suspicions about Gus, but nothing concrete. If Gus can get Lalo out of the country, and play the perfect loyal soldier for a few years, then things will die down and Gus can return to his plan to axe Don Eladio and steal the empire out from under him. But if Saul breaks and tells the real story to…

Immortal Hulk is as good as Hulk has ever been.

Also, the power level of 70s Hulk versus, say, World War Hulk era is a huge difference. Hulk of the early 2010s was “nuke the site from orbit, maybe we can knock him down,” kind of powerful.
