  1. Did not expect it. It might not make any sense hoe she is now a prosecutor but it's Night Court. Malick is great as is her chemistry with Dan. Should be a lot of fun.
  2. RIP Willian Russell. He was great on Who and a guy who carried the physical action of Doctor Who during the first two seasons. Was very happy when he popped up again in Jodie Whittaker's final episode.
  3. Very good episode. Definitely a take on Black Mirror. I'm sorry Ricky didn't survive, he would have been fun on the Tardis. I know The Doctor indicated that Linny and her friends won't survive. It's too bad though that Linny didn't encounter the 10th Doctor. If he found out what she did to Ricky, he would have meted out a punishment that would have wiped that look off her face at the end of the episode.
  4. I will agree with one thing I read elsewhere. Olivia wasn't much of a sparring partner for Dan as they were both jaded characters. I suspect they'll go with another younger actress like India but an older actress whose character has been around a long time like Dan would be intriguing.
  5. That is really disappointing. After Dan, I thought Olivia was the most entertaining character on the show. Interestingly enough, India was a replacement for another actress after the original pilot.
  6. Absolutely reeks of desperation to use Galactus now. They need to build up to that character.
  7. Woo-hoo! Very glad to hear this. I was hoping 18 episodes at a minimum.

    X-Men'97

    Mohawk Storm was a direct result of my all-time favorite storyline, The Brood Saga. This storyline isn't discussed much but it had a lot of long-term consequences for the X-Universe. Among them that Storm was cut off from Earth while the X-Men were in space for months and losing that connection to the Earth is what started her on her darker path to Mohawk Storm. I enjoyed Motendo and Life Death Part 1. Montendo was an absolutel blast and the short time worked perfectly. Life Death Part 1 should have been it's own separate episode and suffered due to its shorter running time, being a cliff notes version of the original issue although still good. Gil Birmingham is great in whatever he's in (despite Taylor Sheridan's poor writing) and is a great choice to voice Forge.
  9. I think it's a mistake if they are using Galactus in the first Fantastic Four film. Galactus is a villain for a second film or maybe even a third film. He's the ultimate threat, once the team has been established. Not using him or the Silver Surfer until the second film was something Fox actually got right, which of course meant nothing once they decided to make the character a freakin cloud. If Marvel is using Galactus and the Surfer for the first film then it is a complete panic move on their part. I've been a fan of Julia Garner since The Americans. She is consistently good in whatever she's in. But I find it puzzling that Marvel is going with the most obscure version of the Silver Surfer imaginable. This isn't like going woth the John Stewart version of the Green Lantern. I've read comic books for a long time and I never even heard of this version of The Silver Surfer until today
  10. Great movie. I never read any of the books either but the movie is epic storytelling, epic filmmaking and CGI done right. It's what Avatar should be and not the utter garbage that James Cameron thinks passes for good filmmaking .
  11. Just wanted to add that I watched Oppenheimer last night and like Killer of the Flower Moon, had humor in it. Not as much as Killers but still a decent amount sprinkled in. If far superior directors like Scorsese and Nolan can work humor into movies with serious subject matters, what thw hell is Synder's excuse for not working any humor in his space "epic"?

    The Star Wars Saga

    I want a Star Wars animated What if series myself.
  13. Here is some more news with a link which I'll put in spoiler tags I guess....
  14. I'm so glad this show is back. It's a favorite of mine and one of my fun shows, on top of being great. Some changes to Abbott that don't feel like it's taking away from the show which I appreciate. I laughed when Jalen Hurts said "Look at you, little girl, dressed up for Career Day" to Janine. I definitely don't trust the School Board people either. On the subject of Manny, I was a fan of Josh Segarra's work on Arrow. To answer an earlier question, he was one of the lawyer's at Jennifer’s law firm in She-Hulk that she worked on cases with. I finally got around to watching Orange is the New Black and Josh also had a recurring role as one of the guards in the later seasons. He always seems to get himself at least on recurring role on a high-profile show.
  15. Sounds like it's the future. Too bad, I would have liked to have seen something in the Vikings era or 1930s Chicago gangster era.
