It’s Vanth. And it’s not hard to find that out, so the fact that the recap repeatedly gets it wrong is... par for the course, I guess.

Oh ho, not “was,” my friend. Is! Space Force was renewed, and is coming back this month!

No offense to Nikolaj, but mileage definitely varies on that one.

Look, I’ll never complain about Tom Cavanagh showing up. S2 Harry is always and forever my fave character on this dumb show. But do the writers remember that that’s not actually what Eobard Thawne looks like? Eobard Thawne-who-looks-like-himself is Matt Letscher. There’s no reason for this Thawne to look like Harrison…

Hm, no, I’m fairly certain that my taste reflects, you know, my taste. That’s how it works. And I’m pretty confident that while I liked but didn’t love The Shape of Water, I still found it both better made and more interesting than any of the movies I listed.

Why would I be embarrassed about The Shape of Water when The Greatest Show on Earth, Around the World in 80 Days, Braveheart, Crash, and Green Book exist. Oh, and Dances with Wolves. Driving Miss Daisy. Rain Man.

Well there you go. I read Latin and I love Young Frankenstein. It’s my favorite Mel Brooks movie by a wide margin.

Ah, I see. Charlton Heston and Stephen Boyd, reincarnated.

Well. No?

Cary Grant/ Ronald Coleman/Jean Arthur is The Talk of the Town. People Will Talk is Grant and Jeanne Crain as a progressive doctor and his unmarried, pregnant student. Both are really, really good, albeit in different ways.

I’d never thought about it, but presumably it’s fine. Dracula had no trouble getting on the Demeter, after all.

I loooove the Spanish princess. The way she just sobs and sobs, not even a smidge of a stiff upper lip. And she’s so determined to make Henry understand why, even though she doesn’t speak any “French.” Duty be-damned, she wants her sweet balding courtier! They’re so cute together! I really hope after her parents were…

I can’t speak to Gigli (that whole bit Caroline describe sounds bizarre), but in Gigi, Gaston finds out his mistress Liane is unfaithful, pays off her lover and dumps her. Cut to Gigi’s grandmother and great-aunt gossiping about how Liane has committed suicide “again!”, with her usual method, “insufficient poison.”…

That doesn’t require genetics, though, just influence. You could bend enough branches to shape the future by being a doctor, a politician, a journalist, a teacher, whatever. More, even. I mean, Our Hero is a teacher and that becomes important in (fairly dumb) ways at the end, but surely that wouldn’t be true only for…

I mean, I’d like to point out to the PTB that people over 40 can do things other than breeding that can affect the world in significant ways, and which could cause paradoxes despite not involving children, but with Jesse picking up God-bothering vibes from the whole mess, they probably wouldn’t be interested.

Technically he’s a Jotun, not an Asgardian. But they’re also incredibly powerful and durable, so the basic issue is the same. It’s not a deal-breaker (for me, anyway), just an irritant.

Boy, are you gonna be pleased with the MCU, which is overwhelmingly inundated with affectionate, platonic, canonical bonds between men, but has zero queer characters. All we get are platonic relationships. That’s the point.

Much more quickly. A star would have at least two, maybe three films a year, plus radio (Lux Soap won’t sell itself), plus publicity tours. Which is restful and luxurious compared to character actors- the Frank McHughs and Allen Jenkinses of the world were churning out six/seven/eight pictures a year, sometimes. It…

Yes and no. Actors could and did refuse to take roles; how well it was received varied widely. Sometimes they were allowed the leeway, sometimes the part was finessed or rewritten until they agreed, sometimes they were told to shut up and get on set. Stars like Bette Davis and Ida Lupino spent as much time suspended as…
