That is what really tanked Alec Baldwin’s Trump impression on SNL. It worked beautifully for the few they did in Fall 2016 because they figured Hillary would win and Baldwin would go off and we’d have some funny sketches. After a while it wore thin.

That’s a very bold statement to make on this site which treats the nearing end of manual transmissions as a transgression of the highest order (now granted, with all the junk CVTs that companies have turned to in order to save money, there are arguments, but that’s mostly about a move back to better fixed ratio…

I love when people continue to make generalizations like this until they try to add memory to most of their Dell, HP, or Lenovo laptops and find more and more of them with that memory soldiered onto the system boards. *gasp*

The local station WGN-9 in Chicago is basically that. The WGN Superstation was basically trying to model what Ted Turner did with TBS Superstation (remember when that’s what we called it. People forget that TBS was originally WTCG from Atlanta and took off when they got rebroadcast on cable and satellite systems…

With the multiverse now being a thing, it’s very possible that AoS is just another universe in the multiverse. Also there could be multiple Agent 19's. Laura could just have retired from that job to raise her family with Clint.

I’m glad to see that PIA still ranks highly. I do keep a subscription to them, mostly for use on an untrustworthy wifi connection. I don’t trust any service that over-advertises on every podcast or YouTube channel, especially because those are the exact ones that usually go heavy on gimmicks and buzzwords and are…

There’s been an Apple TV app available for months. I have it running on my Chromecast w/ Google TV.

Yeah I got the impression that Chibnall took the success he had on Broadchurch, which was an actually well written and acted mystery box story, and thought he could graft it onto all the fanfic scripts he has always wanted to make, and thus turn Who into prestige TV (which it never has been, nor has it tried to be…

RTD will likely handwave it away, and the series (and its history) will be all the better for it. The Timeless Children arc left a gaping wound in Whovian lore that is going to be hard to fix without some sort of hard reset.

I think almost all of that is in the writing. Jodie Whitaker is a fine actress who is doing the best she can with what she has. It’s just that what she has is below minimal. Put any A-list actress in her place and it would be exactly the same. Honestly, all of Chibnall’s run has felt too much like he was the ultimate…

Welcome to the world of Nintendo! Why else were there five or six different iterations of the GBA, DS, 3DS, etc? No easier way to make some more money for them than minor revisions to their hardware that may look a little nicer but don’t add much in the way of hardware improvements.

Probably too close to Mystique if she’s a ginger here. I don’t think that would work out super well, even if we’re supposed to maybe be allowed to get X-Men in the MCU at some point.

I did not live on campus when I went to college at ye ole State University of New Jersey, but I do remember eating at Brower Commons one time and having buttered noodles that tasted like neither butter nor noodles.

Maybe it’s that I don’t go to Sonic too frequently anymore (honestly the charm wore off after the hype of them coming to the NYC Tri-State area after years of those commercials), but haven’t you always been able to get ketchup and mustard and mayo on their burgers? Did this change a couple of years ago and now it’s…

I’m pretty sure they are, it’s just a matter of waiting for the rights to revert.

Devil’s Advocate here: would having Samsung move to the WearOS platform maybe spur Google to actually work on it? Or at least let Samsung’s engineers have at it for them? Samsung makes the only other worthwhile SoC for smartwatches, so if they manage this correctly, maybe this makes WearOS better for everyone. That’s…

Here in Jersey, what they call the DC style is what we call a Boardwalk Pie. That’s a 18-20 inch (or greater) diameter pie whose slices are so big, they must be folded to be properly eaten. Found on many of the Jersey Shore’s famed boardwalks and perfect for eating while walking on said boardwalk.

This was an episode that had to come at some point to tie together all the mystery box bits that they’ve been spreading throughout the sitcom episodes. Still, it gives me a bit of pause because it feels like we’re going to pivot away from the sitcom stuff and into general MCU stuff because the execs at Marvel and the…

It drives home a great point about grief and how people were affected by the snap/blip in ways that IW/EG didn’t really take the time to really contemplate other than Tony Stark’s grief at losing Peter Parker. So this gut punch worked greatly, especially with the setup that in Monica’s world, her mom had just had…

We can’t have them talking to Falcon because he’s off with Bucky Barnes doing superhero stuff for their own show, which will probably also connect to this in some fashion since everything in the MCU has to connect.
