He doesn’t have a chest tattoo. It’s very clearly shown that he painstakingly, ritualistically painted the symbol on his chest, and washed it off later.

I saw an interview that said they’re going to have a time jump between seasons to account for that very problem. They just have to make sure to get all their prinicple photography done before any of the kids change noticeably. It can happen so fast! The same article mentioned that they couldn’t do any dialog…

I personally felt like it gave them an opportunity to do heavier and more meaningful character moments in service of the story than the 22 minute format generally allows. You rarely can fully explore something like that in a sitcom format without massively derailing the story and never recovering. Of course, they’ve…

And this is why it’s helpful to include a clear indicator of the individual’s original biological sex in stories like this. It is frequently just plain difficult to tell exactly what is being talked about, since you can’t always tell what standard is being adhered to in reference to an individual’s gender and…

Since we’re nerding, the implication in the article is that the Justice Lords changed their name after becoming totalitarian rulers. But the episode itself suggests that they were always called that in their timeline.

I am very cool with this. Excited!

There was also that cloaking device sound at the very end. Could that mean something? It could!

Huh... I never realized he was basically magic Jewish Green Lantern. I mean, there are pretty strong Silver Age parallels. Right down to being a replacement for an uncontrollable automaton, and an arbitrary weakness as a failsafe.

Well, I suppose just about anything loses its magic with enough repetition.

Not based on personal experience (curious though I am about it), but I’ve heard it said that nothing gets you into that childhood headspace quite like a bit of really good weed. YMMV.

Gonna throw in a suggestion... 12 Monkeys. Ends on a perfect note for you to take with you as you sit down next to a stranger on your flight.

I’m a graphic designer myself and the similarities jump out at me, though they are obviously non-identical. Think of it this way: if you squint, can you easily tell them apart? If it fails the squint test, then you have an issue.

The burden for trademark infringements is not “identical”. It’s “confusingly similar”. This is very arguably such, especially given it is the same category of products.

I am pretty sure that “ghosts stopped being a thing” is exactly what happened between Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II. The implication in the film is that they were able to have the encounters and get the data that let them develop their equipment in the first place, and become successful paranormal investigators and…

Please, don’t make an existing character bi and a new alien lady a lesbian. Why? Because that gives you nothing but “outs” on the whole gay thing. Bi? Well, he still likes the ladies, so it doesn’t really count. Alien? Well, not human, so it doesn’t really count. Also, lesbian? That’s been given a pass as straight…

Definitely also automatically put “Dr. Orchid” and “man” in the headline together, and briefly assumed it was a new male character. Can’t deny there was probably some unfortunate ingrained gender bias in there too. Upon further reflection, I think it’s unfortunate that they’ve chosen to replace a specifically female…

Series evidence for McCoy being straight: Very first (aired) episode of the entire series, The Man Trap, in which the alien creature the episode revolves around takes the form of a former female lover of McCoy’s. See also “The World Is Hollow and I Have Touched The Sky”, and probably others.

I can attest to the truth of the article, personally. Most specifically, I remember when I lived with someone years ago, and we would go grocery shopping. There was always arguments about whether we should buy the bulk items and save several dollars in the long run, or the smallest package and thus spend the least…

I am just posting to say that I saw the photo for this article in the list of headlines and, just for a moment, thought it was Max Headroom.

I recall having essentially unsupervised, unrestricted access to Saturday morning fare for a good while, until one day my mom caught me and my little brother watching PeeWee’s Playhouse. She very quickly decided she Did Not Approve and thereafter because much more invested in monitoring what we watched. Not…
