  1. I've had a hard time thinking of a title, so if it's not too late, I'll go with the obvious: Up Schitt's Creek, in the Dark, with No Spear
  2. I've rarely seen anyone literally hopping mad, but here you go: And for good reason.
  3. You do you. Sorry if I hurt your feelings by calling a thing what it is. Or was, in this case.
  4. Missed my Wings pick, Blue Falcon (Hanna-Barbera)
  5. Wildcard: Sebastian Haff/Elvis Presley (From the movie Bubba Ho-Tep), Guardian of the Spear of Destiny
  6. This is two weeks old, but I don't think it's been posted yet:
  7. Color Hero: Red Hood (Jason Todd, DC Comics)
  8. MacGuffin: Spear of Destiny (DC Comics)
  9. Bug Hero: Ben Reilly, the Scarlet Spider
  10. Secondary Antagonist: S'ym (Marvel Comics)
  11. Shape Changer: Ralph Dibny, the Elongated Man
  12. The GM's Nightmare: Badger (First Comics)
  13. Yellowstone: Wish I'd known there was still half a season left, and that Costner may not come back for it. Some good, some bad, some stupid to it. Still managed to suck me in. It subverted my expectations and made the protagonists into a cowboy mafia, which was an interesting spin on a ranch family defending their legacy, the eponymous ranch that's adjacent to the park of the same name. It often struggles with trying to create sympathetic characters out of a bunch of dysfunctional, self-interested killers. Frequently suffers from godawful dialog. Has a few true soap opera level stupid situations. 1883: Yellowstone prequel, one season mini-series. Tells the tale of the Dutton family's journey across the Oregon Trail that led them to the Yellowstone. I liked it quite a bit more than the original show. It did a good job of showing the sheer brutality of life on the Oregon Trail. Narration was annoying, though. 1923: Best of the three. Set between World Wars, a mining baron (Timothy Dalton) is trying to take over the ranch. Big Damn Hero son is off in Africa dealing with his personal demons. He finds romance and adventure while trying to get back home. Waiting for season 2. The Americans: Almost through Season 2. Great Cold War spy show, with plenty of twists and turns.
  14. Primary Antagonist: G.M. Dark (Something Wicked This Way Comes, Ray Bradbury)
  15. I pick . . . Damian Wayne! j/k I pick . . . Blue Falcon! (Hanna Barbera)
  16. OK, I'm going to jump in a little late: Location: Schitt's Creek (TV show) Paragon: She Hulk (Marvel) Organization: The B.P.R.D. (Hellboy)
  17. Reagan is probably spinning in his grave the way the Trump-lead Republican party has been in bed with Russia.
  18. You know, I didn't think Morbius was horrible. Not great, but it was a pretty basic, straightforward origin story. I'd watch a sequel. It'd be nice to get better writers for said sequel.
  19. If my premise were wrong, organizations (military, police, gangs) wouldn't have to train the reluctance to kill out of people. You'd be far harder pressed to find any credible stats indicating that "most people" are inclined to kill each other. The global murder rate (2019) is 6.2/100,000. So is 6.2 "most" or is 99,993.8 "most"?
  20. And when the morons with the guns have grown up in an environment that encourages solving problems with violence. Thankfully, most of humanity hasn't had its humanity beaten out of it.
  21. Even if Biden's cognitively impaired, I'll take him over a (much more) cognitively and morally impaired Trump.
  22. The oral arguments in the Colorado removal of Trump from the ballot case were today (yesterday now). Here's an interview with Colorado's lawyer: I watched the thing on YouTube. I think the above video covers the main points well, but if you're morbidly curious or have too much time on your hands, here it is: I shared it to a time stamp after the talking heads, but if you have even more time to waste, you can wind it back to the beginning.
