A talented author and artist who has no doubt earned some of his cantankerousness due to his treatment by the industry, but at the same time: *jack-off motion to this story and take.* We get it. There’s nothing here that needs to be repeated.

I miss this show already. Can’t wait to see how they end it.

I think back on those first few hours of the campaign, and I grow jealous of Earth-132422, where the campaign stayed that way, and the multiplayer/live stuff was silo’d off into its own thing. I hate that friggin’ War Table, and I’m tired of fighting AIM.

Haven’t dipped my toes back into Destiny 2 since maybe Year One/Year Two of launch. I was a big-time crucible lad, and whew, that game had satisfying gun combat. Haven’t gone back in a while. Maybe I should.

Excellent episode. I enjoyed last week’s episode, too, but this one, this one kind of captured everything I love about this show. 

Betty Gilpin’s a wonderful actor. The entire cast is filled with wonderful actors. They will probably all—if the world has any ounce of fairness left in it—go on to successful careers. But God, I loved watching them all hang out and strive for greatness on this show. I hope they do give the GLOW cast an opportunity to…

So, that’s...three majority woman-led shows that got the ax after being renewed? Is that what I’m reading?

This rules but it’s also not surprising because, frankly, I don’t know that I’d recognize Gary Oldman on the street. The man’s one of the few working actors whose face seems to completely disappear and transform into whatever character he’s playing. And if he’s clean-shaven? Lost. 

Bless Al Ewing. 

Futurama had my favorite example of A.I. in that the robots all just became like, people. Bored, lazy, and often useless. Anyway, Slattery’s always fun/good so sure. He deserves a shot at the lead.

Selena’s royalty. She’s basically a saint to us Tejanos. So, yes, I’m going to watch this series.

I’m very into these casting choices.

I don’t want to get my hopes up for this, but that is a stacked cast. Really good choices.

HBO Max needs to get its shit together and strike a deal with Amazon, and/or vice versa. Sigh. I’m paying for HBO Max but can’t access it? (It ended up cheaper than HBO alone due to that special promotion and I still get HBO Now, so...but still.)

King’s Joker at least felt more like a depressed comedian than Snyder’s demon-king-Joker. I prefer my Joker in the vein of Batman: The Animated Series, who is still sort of a murderclown but damn it, he’s having fun. Make some jokes, Joker! Japes!

Look, if I’m completely honest, I thought it was a more interesting portrayal of Doc Manhattan’s post-Watchmen experience than the Watchmen series. And the whole “Core Essence/Metaverse” thing was exactly the kind of weird DC comics shit that I enjoy. But the delays didn’t help, and it didn’t quite shake things up…

there are different ways to use the superhero genre and comic-book medium than grimdark broodfests on a nine-panel grid.
