Just in time for the holiday: “Tegridy Farms Halloween Special.” Man, how long has been since Shelly was in a plot? “Broadway Bro Down”?

Well, this is Golden Wind. I'm not sure why the name was changed from the manga’s Vento Auero. Also, "Golden Wind" is the Legal English Name of Giorno Giovanna's Stand; the actual name being "Gold Experience." Funny that Giorno carries a picture of his father in his wallet, and it's the same picture with his bare back to the camera and Joestar star-mark on his shoulder. Of course Giorno looks like a full-on adult at the age of 15. I'm guessing Koichi is 16-17 by comparison . . . and if he didn't have Echoes for backup, no way would he have stepped up to Giorno. I hope there's a reason he made the trip instead of Jotaro . . . though if "Call for me in the next volume" is the reason, I'd be okay with that. I know GE's ability, but it's nicely kept vague here. I didn't expect the "rebound" effect that nailed Lucca and Koichi But now he has to deal with Bruno . . . sweat-tasting Bruno. Because this is Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and the majority of the people we meet have to be freaks. And he threatened to put stuff into Giorno's mouth. Thanks for that mental image, Bruno!

I reckon we got a better Magpie here than over on Gotham. Miniature explosives is a good gimmick, and having those disguised as pearls was pretty neat. It gave Kate that nice moment with the little girl. Like she would know that the "marble" would have blown her sweet face off. Kate continues to find out that having a dual life isn't supposed to be easy. Alice is still psychotic and charming at the same time. And Mary continues to work on her resume for Arrowverse Rookie Of The Season. I don't think it was that difficult for her to channel Alice with the barely-conscious goon, but she put in quite the effort. Also funny: Kate smothering Magpie's explosive devices, and then something like that happened later tonight on Supergirl.

Meh episode. I find it amusing that Kara smothered Alex's bomb vest because Batwoman did the same thing tonight for smaller explosions over on her show. And Malefic ("Male Fiction"?) is sent to the Phantom Zone . . . except nope, he's still on Earth, because Lena means weapons to show us that she really is dedicated to being a Big Bad. Well, I don't think James got the Poochy departure, but it was pretty close. "Wait, so my hometown has basically fallen on hard times thanks to The One Percent*? Fuck it, I'm gonna move there to make things right!" I didn't feel that at all. Is this a view held by factions of the fandom? And was there a part of the viewers that bitched about a black actor being cast in a role usually meant for redheaded Caucasians who can look like schmucks? PM me if you wish to go off-board, @mommalib. *sigh* And the English a-hole isn't a total a-hole. Which means he and Kara will probably be an item soon. It just seems too obvious. I'd rather hook her up with Comet the Super-Horse at this point. Speaking of ships . . . you think Nia and Brainy will go to couples' therapy like Barry & Iris did a few years ago? That seem like an entry for some cheap laughs, given that Brainy is an alien. I mean, Nia is half-alien, but Brainy is alien in more sense of the word. Yay for Kara Quick Changes! I'd like a return of Kara-Fu, where she does Supergirl stuff without the costume. *Apologies if my apparel was clumsy. It just looked like Calvintown is in a position where shady shit was going on, probably backed by huge sums of money. For all we know, this could be related to Leviathan.

Great swerves with the "commercial." When I was briefly watching the Halloween "best-of" thing that aired at 10, they included the Merrytown animatronics puppets. I felt the "Ditty of the Damned" had the same vibe, with "ghost reluctant to tellpeople how he died" replacing "Oh, shit, Bruno Mars and those other machines are totally gonna kill Jay Pharaoh." The CGI clouds telling the stories was a nice touch. Didn't Jason Momoa have to shave for a role? I guess he grew the beard back. Here's the first bit. Enjoy!

*sigh* I can't seem to find the full credits that I want. There's this, but it has an annoying frame obscuring bits of it. My guess is that YouTube is cracking down on posting the credits. Segue: I just found out JAM Project -- the supergroup that's done both opening theme songs-- will be coming to Anime NYC in a few weeks.I'll see if I can see and/or hear them. It's funny . . . back in 2017, I went to another anime con in the city, and the last thing I did there was watch a band perform . . . and they did the song from the first season.

Looks like the World Series is going best-of-3. Seriously not caring one way or the other. Curse of growing up, I guess. This was on the front page of the Daily News on Friday. Did the Mets interview Joe Girardi, or at least express interest? If not, then it seems like a mean swipe. Semi-Related News: Mickey Callaway will be the Angels' new pitching coach. Also, the Mets will be visiting Anaheim in August 2020. Should be interesting.

NBC will be running Halloween clips tonight at 10 p.m. At minimum, we got “Trick or Treat” (Jon Hamm), “Haunted Elevator” (Tom Hanks), and “Vincent Price Halloween Special.”

Found a new name: "Jennifer Lee The Amazing Race 29" Once again, no mental bells being rung. Off to Wikipedia! . . . and another girl who was eliminated in the first leg, this time in TAR29. That was the one where all Racers came in as strangers.

. . . and I just found out Laurel will be taking a break from trying to kill John Conner in order to appear on EOTB. Nicole is supposed to be in great shape. She’s gonna need everything she’s got to run away while being waist-deep in snow.

So far, the break down is fifteen women, thirteen men. Maybe the final total would be 30-32? Let me get this right . . . "Swaggy" cheated a cancer patient out of charity money. Maybe the only reason CT is showing up is to put him in traction for a few months.

Update: Fourth season of MHA to air in the 11 p.m. slot (replacing DBS); Attack On Titan ends the block.

"Schoooooooooooool's back! In session!!"

I didn't think the lions would eat something living . .. just "fresh." Basically, it would be raw enough for Dennis to bolt for the nearest men's room to change his underwear. Of course, he'd have to avoid the Grindr Daddies.

Only defense I could buy is if Jordan didn't see WOTW1. Given how much he and Tori love each other, maybe they were too busy writing songs and engaging in soft lovemaking. Otherwise, this is basically Johnny beefing with Frank during Battle Of The Seasons. Not a good look. Revelation: maybe Turbo is the Turkish male version of Belou. All "YOU CANNOT COPY MY WALK!!!!" needed was "BISH!!!!" at the end.

Semi-related: new season of Ex On The beach premieres in December . . . featuring Georgia, Marlon and Nicole.

Here's the list from WatchMojo: 10. Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise; a gateway to an addictive and expensive card battle game 9. Parasyte the Maxim: gives you paranoia about aliens possibly being around you, waiting to kill at a moment's notice 8. Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks?: embarrassment of being with your mother as she excels in an Isekai setting 7. Naruto franchise: started trend of otaku running with their arms flailling behind them , looking like dorks in the process 6. Cells at Work!: "Hey, here's a bunch of waifu girls! But they lives inside you, so you're never gonna meet her! Also, your bad health choices endanger them!" 5. Akira: Hollywood wants to adapt it, leading to a movie that will pale to the original product, and the rumors keep coming on once you think any adaptation is dead in the water 4. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: You wind up thinking everything is a Jojo reference. EVERYTHING. 3. Neon Genesis Evangelion series: endless philosophical theories and debate fodder. Also, way too much angst for a regular fan. 2. Berserk and Hunter x Hunter: both based on manga whose creators take frequently breaks. 1. Fate franchise: way too many timelines, side stories, and sequels to keep track of. Video ends with an otaku that constantly games on a "Fate" video game.

Is it me, or has Dee been getting mentally roughed harder this season? Anybody go to a zoo with lion feedings? That can't be as bloody as Dennis would like.

Nothing new to report. Would Cara Maria not showing up be considered a big deal going into this season? I'm not seeing Turbo's name. I'm really hoping he takes one season off. Otherwise, it'll be him and Jordan trying to smack each other with their dicks on the flight to Prague,

Here's another version of "Baby Shark," from Robot Chicken. An image that couldn't have been worse for Red Sox fans if Wade personally stabbed them in the heart.

Aside from the 1985 Royals and 1986 Mets, has any team won the World Series after losing their first two games at home?

I am here for that. The we're going to find out Mark Burnett himself kidnapped her and forced her onto the show. I know, not good rationale for the poor performances . . . but wouldn't it explain a lot?

Well, he'll fit in nicely with Johnny and Bear. Wait . . . Jay won his season? I don't remember, and I don't care enough to check right now.

Freeland is still depressing AF. I'm wondering why the Clap Back News lady hasn't been detained. On the bright side, Odell and Tobias should take their act on the road. "You just mad cuz we're the same age and I looked so much better coming in here than you." "If you say so. Open the roof." "Oh, you damn four-eyed pencil-pushing asshole! You ain't shit!!!" "Ghetto Glow Worm" for the win. Apparently, Jenn's next boyfriend will be Troy Polamalu Jr. And Khalil will probably kill him. Maybe choke him out with his own hair. "You said things would get better when you became commissioner!" "Lady, this is Freeland. It's been raining acid and anvils as long as I can remember. And I'm the one that made things worse?!?"

Great episode. I like watching animals, even if we just got to see a gorilla and some goats. And I used to do the bubble thing as a kid at the Bronx Zoo. That was prairie dog-themed . . . I don't think I even knew about meerkats back then. Lots of familiar themes . .. Mac is still needy AF (seriously, it's like "Mac Finds His Pride" never actually happened), Dee still sucks at telling jokes (she's also a slow texter), Charlie is still illiterate, Frank still wants to agitate (this week: waving bananas at a gorilla) . . . and Dennis gets pissy because he missed a bloody lion feeding. The thought of him made him chub up. He's a brociopath. What else do you expect? But we get a happy reunion, and everybody leaves satisfied. Well, maybe not Mac. The other three guys pissed on him to indicate he's the weak one (like meerkats are wont to do).
