Apologies for not paying attention . . . who roots for the A’s here? They got Familia from the Mets.

Mets Fan: *sigh* My team is fighting to keep in fourth place, they're going to the Bronx for a potential curb-stomping, and Aaron Boone will probably invade the visitor's clubhouse to inspect would-be Yankees. I need good news. The World: Well, how about the Mets winning tonight? Mets Fan: Yeah, after almost blowing a five-run lead. Nothing's more obnoxious that a Yankees fan ready for the kill. The World: Oh, Colbert did a thing with the Mets! Mets Fan: Gaaaaaahhh!!! The World: No, no!!! He went to Citi Field and had fun with them. Totally didn't rip on them!! Mets Fan: That's nice. Wait . . . he went to Citi Field?!? How did he leave without injury? The World: . . . .hey, two more Subway Series games left!!! ETA: Here’s the clip. Ever want to see happy Mets? Here ya go!

. . . and here is the trailer. Not too far away. Better catch up on the reruns. The return of Bear With A Blade. I’m officially scared.

Trailer for Alternative.

Shit, I want to get into streaming someday. I was leaning Netflix, but who knows when I’d be able to see this if I pass on DC’s service. This is gonna be one of those “the sequel you never knew you wanted” things, isn’t it? Wow. Think we might get a third season of Green Lantern: The Animated Series If this one gets enough support?

He could have just said, “French people can be black! Ever hear of Chocolate Mousse?” Then show a pic from Top Secret!

Rolling Stone interviews CT.

Heads up: Season 3 starts up August 18. And here's a list from WatchMojo about what to remember going into it.

Shit, why no warning when they cut to animation? I was thinking only the last few parts would get that treatment. I'm watching, having fun, GAAAAAHHH!!! I mean, the style isn't bad, but it's just so jarring. Additional: One, that music is an earworm isn't it? Two: Glee Club. Huh?!?

Cubs interested in deGrom? If it happens soon, that would be for the best for Jacob. Mets are freefalling, they're heading to the Bronx to face waves of [bandwagon-jumping] Yankees fans, and we're a week away from Larry Jones getting inducted into the Hall of Fame.

*sigh* I want to try to go to bed early, but this is the only time BBCA will be airing it, and there are 33 holds in front of me for the sole DVD in my library's system. I will be watching.

More whumpin' on the Justice League. Could have used "Fuck Batman." Still funny.

CT is getting married, and it’s being filmed. The word “shitshow” comes to mind; not because of the premise, but that Challengers would be invited and bring their respective dramas. My fear: Johnny comes in, announce that he’s “gonna take the bride and run, Father,” and CT can’t do a damn thing about it.

Refreshing episode. I miss Obama. Could he come back in some capacity beyond politics and opposing the current regime? Also, not only was Trevor on fire last night, I did not know he danced. Runner-up on DWTS in South Africa? Impressive.

In case you never got to see the full credits.

Lewis was on Late Night with Stephen Colbert last night.

Drama. Drama. Drama. Mission. End. Oh, and the elimination game is called "Armageddon" this season. Awesome. The big news is that Johnny's partner . . . is Tony. *sigh* I can probably guess how the rest of the season plays out. The two bitter rivals work together. They win the finale, and guess what? Rivals III twist, partner performs the best decides to either keep or share the money. And Johnny, in the mother of all plot twists, screws Tony, earning the first-ever $1 million prize. And Tony accepts this . . . mostly because that Johnny has to get revenge for how Tony did him dirty in Vendettas. If Johnny's lust for vengeance is not sated, Tony will have to hire people to start his car for the rest of his life. Also, living in fear to find that one of both of his babymamas will be seduced by Johnny. Redemption House can watch edited feeds of those still in play. Whatever. Mission: Derrick just sucks. So does Shane. Seriously, why does the one guy with so many appearances with zero finale appearances have to talk shit about Johnny? His sun is setting, Shane? Yours never rose! And you had a seven-season headstart! Idiot.

Reminder: Doctor Who panel runs at Comic-Con on Thursday at 11:45 a.m., San Diego time. For me, that would be 2:45 . . . translating to 7:45 London time. While I don't know if the BBC would reveal details away from the UK, Comic-Con has basically become that big enough to warrant it. For the sake of nostalgia, here's my account of the DW panel from 2009. I think that was the first time the trailer for "The End of Time" was shown. Looking back, not as detailed as my account of Capaldi's panel from last year's NYCC. In my defense, I may have been close to death by exhaustion.

Did players from the other NL East teams get booed? deGrom getting that reaction . . . I imagine him thinking, "Look, I'm probably to be set for life by the end of the month, or with a far better shot of getting a ring. Lay off!"

I saw "Feed Him To The Corgis!" Aw, what did they do that was so bad? Seriously, it's sad/funny that Trevor and Sam's shows are back right as shit goes sideways so hard. Is John Oliver coming back on Sunday night?

Got the copy of SI on my lap. From Joe Sheehan: Yankees get deGrom, Mets get Frazier, Sheffield, Loaisiga and Pereia. Since I don’t follow baseball that hard these days, is there a chance such a deal wouldn’t go down as “Ryan for Fergosi”?

Sanji to invade Food Wars! in one-shot manga.

Still catching up. Just finished the one when Killer B and his brother the Raikage decapitated the fishman Akatsuki. I'm kinda falling for B all over again. He's just so over-the-top, and even his tailed beast is tired of it.

Got the issue of Entertainment Weekly with Jodie on the cover . . . and there are no story teases. Basically overview and giddiness of the new era of the series, and it's actually nice. But I want to see Jodie's Doctor in action. Also: would there be a Christmas episode this year? I read a schedule somewhere, and the finale for the eleventh season would air days before the 25th. ETA: I was okay with the companions starring in the teaser. Also: fish fingers and custard. Probably not a good combo, but it's a nice in-joke.

Didn't see a thread. Kevin Bull rebounded from the qualifier, completing the course. Derek Miyamoto -- "Ninja Ambassador" -- also cleared the course. Bad news: Eskimo Ninja's run is being shown in a small box while the commercials run. That doesn't seem right. "Mazal Tough"? I whole-heartedly approve. Also, Josh Levin's run to completion was WWWA.
