They should have used the first episode with Dick Sargent, by having it been Aunt Clara having transformed Darren into something, and due to her messed up magic, he didn't come back exactly the same.

Yeah, but part of my problem, and call it conspiracy theory, is that if it gets to game 7 IN Fenway, I don't trust MLB and the television "powers that be" not to try to interfere in some way (oh look, strikes being called on Houston aren't on Boston, and yes, there have been studies showing that the strike zone for teams like NY and Boston are not the same as their opponents). I would actually say same thing about National series, wanting the Dodgers to get to WS.

Dammit, Houston letting Boston take series lead. They had one job, make sure that NY or Boston, whichever they played, did not go to world series and they are trying to mess it up.

Not sure it was lack of vision, as trying to fit, what is really a "mystic" character, into a street level, "realistic" campaign. Sadly, if they had gone into it thinking Hong Kong Wire-Fu, might have been better.

The one good thing about the movie, is whether you agree or not, you can see both sides of the argument - unlike the travesty that was the Civil War in the comics.

My friend and I often described Babylon 5 as the answer to the PC ST:TNG, and often having endings that seemed very TNG and then having the B5 ending. Deathwalker was probably the best example of this, though the episode with the child who had a genetic disorder that didn't allow it to breathe right and was curable by modern science his parents wouldn't allow was another.

So what your saying is they should have hired Matt Murdoch or Jennifer Walters (would have been a great way to introduce her pre-She-Hulk).

Well, SS is all about using bad guys to do things no one else can do. (too soon?)

One thing that strikes me about the rebooted Venom origin, and I haven't seen the movie and not sure if I will, is "why does Venom look like a black spider-man costume?" when in the new version, it had nothing to do with spidey.

I was just discussing today with someone who I would want to win, as my team isn't in it: Teams I would like to see win - Brewers, Rockies, Indians (cause been a while for all three if ever) I don't mind Houston or Braves winning, they both earned their way by being horrendous for a few years. Let the world end before the Red Sox or Yankees win and please have a survivor camera going in the TV executives rooms when they lose, just for the looks on the faces(I am hoping one team sweeps, then gets killed against Indians or Houston). I wouldn't mind Dodgers either, I grew up with them and it has been awhile, but more then anything, I really would like to see Kershaw have a great playoffs (last year he was good, but not as good when you look as people give credit, not for a guy who might is in the discussions for best of our generation).

It actually is even worse, unless they have fixed it at some point, which they may have. Back, I think in 1995, Seattle and Anaheim were tied with New York on the final day for 1st/wild card. Because of the way it worked, that meant the Yankees (much to the delight of the channels showing the playoffs, I am sure) automatically qualified as the lone wild card because they don't actually call it a tie breaker, but game 163, which is stupid also as you said, because that means stats count from it for regular season also.

I actually like it, because it puts back the impetus to win the division. We don't get nearly as many teams cruising the last month of the season we used too.

I would want one that is closer to NBA, where the current team can simply offer more anyone else, but it would have to be something that doesn't kill a smaller markets luxury tax threshold. That's why I say the franchise player contract should only hit tax halfway. The player still has the option of signing somewhere else, just for less.

Mike Scioscia announced he is stepping down as Manager of the Angels. Everyone could see this coming, but as an Angel fan, I am somewhat sorry to see him go. He went out with a lot of class, some tears and a few laughs in the press conference. Apparently the next will come from within: "The Angels have three internal candidates who will likely be in the mix to succeed Scioscia: bench coach Josh Paul, former Tigers manager Brad Ausmus and former Major League third baseman Eric Chavez. Ausmus and Chavez are currently special assistants to general manager Billy Eppler." Though to be honest, before they decide on anyone, they better have a long conversation with Mike Trout about who he prefers, also maybe Ohtani, because the next manager (and winning hopefully) will go a long way toward keeping Trout in Red. On a side note, there was a mention earlier about baseball needing to do something about keeping star players in small markets. I think each team should be able to designate 1 or 2(negotiable, maybe 1 position and 1 pitcher) players as a franchise player and have their salary only count half toward luxury tax. Caveat must be that player must have been with team for at least 1 full season (sort of the Bird rule from NBA).

I could really see them being in the 60s as part of the race to space, with Reed being the scientist so ahead of everyone else, they deny what he is presenting.

According to IMDB description: A team of young superheroes led by Nightwing (formerly Batman's first Robin) form to combat evil and other perils So apparently he will be Nightwing. Also, judging from what I can see, they will be introducing/crossing over with a Doom Patrol series (Titans is in post-production, Doom Patrol in Pre-Production). I see Chief and Elastigirl in the listing.

When did you see Jason Todd? And don't forget he is wearing Red Robin (Tim Drake's costume). Hopefully he adopts the Nightwing outfit early.

Yeah, but the comment about becoming to much like Batman given what we saw in the other trailer, maybe Dick becomes lighter, but suggests the Batman of the DCU we saw in Batman vs Superman, who brands and kills people. Beast Boy and Raven look correct and sound decent, but not thrilled with the "you have to be naked" thing, being played for cheap laughs. Can't say I like anything of what I have seen of Starfire yet.

Sadly, I have thought Fox actually has done a good job with Magneto. Part is the 2 actors who have played him have been great, but they also did a good job of showing his motivations.

Wonder if it will open with her killing Cyclops again and deciding on Wolverine as a paramour, then joining Magneto.

That's too bad, I really did think was a pretty good movie, and don't really think anything released this weekend that would usurp it. Maybe people are thinking is to much a Potter clone.

Just read the following, makes me happy: DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Matt Ryan, who plays demonologist John Constantine, has been promoted to series regular for Season 4.

Went and saw The House with the Clock in the Wall. Jack Black and Cate Blanchett steal movie with their "bickering". Fun movie, probably on a par with early Potter movies. The kid stuff was kid stuff and didnt really detract. REcommend, especially for those of you with kids.

They should do a Deadpool/She-Hulk movie. both breaking 4th wall and at somepoint talking over each other to do so.

Maybe a skrull disguised as wolverine.
