I would kind of love to see the whole season be a hunt for a missing TARDIS. It’s been decades since we’ve really seen the Doctor unable to travel at will, under her own power, for an extended period of time.

And yet, she’s an essentially immortal who knows more about time and space than almost anyone else in

I’ve never heard of Mulaney.

It’s a regional thing. In Southern California, folks prefer a donut thick enough to stop a bullet. But in Virginia and the Carolinas, light donuts like Krispy Kreme rule the roost, both in chains and at mom and pop donut shops.

Mexican food ... in Ireland. I can’t decide whether I’m terrified or intrigued.

Feedback loops are a hell of a drug.

There are local politicians counting on the fact that you don’t know their names and won’t look into their track records and maybe not even vote.

And in those races, with much smaller margins of error, your vote is monumentally important. Do not get sucked into thinking that national politics are all that matter.

Whether

Eh, this barely matters. This is the last X-Men movie before we see them rebooted under Fiege’s stewardship. Even as good as First Class was, I don’t expect any of this current crop to be held to their contracts or, if they are, for them to negotiate to appear in some other Disney film instead.

When Dark Phoenix is the

Jack Dorsey has the bomb?

Whatever happened to Gab? Wasn’t that the great white hope of conservative social media warriors?

Ironically, this tweet was probably the least-abusive Woods has been in years. His Twitter feed is pretty exhausting.

As much as I love Jason Statham doing his Jason Statham thing, Spy tells us what he really ought to be doing with his time is parodying the Jason Statham thing.

Best Ghostbuster in any version of the franchise, bar none.

Don’t DO that.

There were two novels written by Rob Thomas that took place after the movie. In them, Veronica is back in Neptune as a detective, still involved with Logan, whenever he’s not deployed with the Navy.

The novels are decent and I won’t cry if one or both of them is the basis of this new season.

I really enjoyed the preceding Hawkeye series and the first issue of this, but I really hope they don’t turn into the Santa Monica Avengers. Los Angeles has a lot more to it than affluent white folks living in sight of the Santa Monica Pier.

Why, they could even explore the entire West Coast, which has a ton of

Superman certainly is boring (and odd) in the DCEU.

Given how people, including me, lost their minds in the trench warfare sequence of Wonder Woman, I submit an actual optimistic and heroic Superman, with a story tonally in-sych with a Superman For All Seasons or All-Star Superman would be a huge success. 

Yes, thank you. I plead Friday before a three-day weekend brain.

I was thrilled to see Blizzard remembered the Mogu. I haven’t done the Horde side quests yet, so I don’t know who the new Thunder king their dialogue is referring to (Zul, maybe?) but I’m psyched that this plot line wasn’t dropped.

If they don’t just let Silvermoon and the Exodar fall (which zero people would be sorry about), they’d be ideal places to spruce up with NPCs wandering around and having a life.

But really, just let them fall already.

You remember our venerable house, opulent and imperial. Gazing proudly from its stoic perch above the moor. I lived all my years in that ancient, rumor shadowed manor. Fattened by decadence and luxury. And yet, I began to tire of conventional extravagance. Singular, unsettling tales suggested the mansion itself was a
