And Kitty Pryde (I will not call her Kate) is the captain of a pirate crew which also features Emma Frost's gay elder brother as Iceman's sugar daddy.

I think these people are the same age as me, so that took me back. It's funny, without even knowing who Harley Quinn Smith is before the episode, I turned to my husband in the middle of the scene where she confronts Jeannette in the clothing store and said "She's the nepotism hire." I think part of it was that I clocked a resemblance to her dad without realizing it, but there was something about her performance that said "I'm here because of my last name."

To me, the show wasn't about Sam and Bucky defeating the Flag Smashers or John Walker. The real thrust of the story was A) Sam accepting that he was the only true Captain America now that Steve is gone, and B) Bucky figuring out how to forgive himself. Zemo and the others were just obstacles to that that had to be overcome. In that light, I came away from the finale very satisfied. There was a tiny moment where the GRC guy got Sam's attention by asking "Cap?" before getting him to rescue the last Flag Smasher. I also think Sam dealing with the truck is a little less problematic since I assume the suit is made with vibranium.

"It's the Black Falcon." "No, it's Captain America." Directly in the feels.

They're almost to their first stretch goal and over halfway to their ultimate goal. They dropped an update. Right now, the plan is for them to have Jonah and Emily (from the most recent tour) split hosting duties. And if they get funding for at least nine episodes, Joel will also host one, and if they go all the way, he'll host two.

A large part of me would have preferred the MCU treat the characters like James Bond, but since that's not the tack they took, just let the story end where it ended.

That's not surprising. Since they had planned for a February release prior to COVID, they would have had the merch ready to go months and months in advance of that.

Any woman of childbearing age brought into an emergency room, especially as a trauma.will get a pregnancy test before imaging.

Same. Although a big part of it was just wanting Chim to be able to be totally happy for a bit. That is by a wide margin one of the least cliched birth scenes I've ever seen.

Having suffered through enough straight men uncomfortably doing gay romance on screen, I have to disagree with that one.

Goddamn Cayetana.

It's not for a third party. They're releasing it themselves. They're just funding an initial batch of episodes and a platform. The long term plan is to use the platform to continually fund new episodes. Plus, as Joel points out, having their own distribution means they can release episodes as they finish them, instead of having to finish an entire season to either air on a network or release for binge-watching. They hit their initial goal in about 24 hours. It took a week last time. It makes me hopeful they'll hit the final stretch goal for twelve episodes plus twelve shorts.

Yeah, I'm kind of digging it too. I don't know if I'm $30 on Disney+ digging it, but I'm closer than I thought I'd be.

It's been up for maybe an hour and they're already almost halfway to their goal. I didn't realize Kickstarter did a live ticker now. It's fun watching it go up.

Anbo-jitsu! The ultimate evolution of martial arts!

S4 Teaser. Headed our way later this year. I'm guessing the woman we see in a few of the shots is the Federation President. She also appears to be half-Cardassian.

Taskmaster looks awesome.

So, if I get Ayo, I also want her girlfriend Aneka and a World of Wakanda miniseries about their adventures as the Midnight Angels. I assume Madripoor was tied up with the X-Men rights, but it's kind of fitting that we first visited it here. It's a good place for a spy movie/show.

If only. If you've got 50 minutes to kill, this explains it better than I could.

The two drag queens from the second episode were among the most talented they've ever had. They even had the smartest use of the Panic button I think I've ever seen. I knew all the teams were going to be in trouble the minute Nicole said "cotton candy extract." They also don't get together for a post-victory selfie. The set seems a lot more spread out as well.

New season out now. Nailed It!: Double Trouble, with teams. It's filmed during the pandemic, so there are a lot of social distancing rules, but they make it work.

I'm surprisingly into this, although it's clearly just going to be an R-rated Guardians of the Galaxy. Savant is queer, but I have a real suspicion they're going to sidestep that.

Hey, it's one of Claudia's series of paintings of junk food, from her show Disposable Comestibles.

Ben & Arthur. This is often compared to The Room, for gays, but at least Tommy Wiseau put a lot of money into that and hired BTS people who generally knew what they were doing, no matter how insane the material in front of the camera. It stars the producer/writer/director as one half of an (ahem) looks-discordant couple who are desperate to get married. "Inept" doesn't even begin to describe it. There are sets literally made out of cardboard. If the guy hadn't self-published a script, I would swear the entire thing is improvised. I can't even put it out on a scale of good-bad or bad-bad. The whole thing is utterly confounding and defies description.
