    American Gods

    Salim's story is tragic. He is a stranger in a strange land, he hates everything about it, the touristy crap, the disrespect, and especially his brother-in-law. The Djinn shows him a new path and both benefit from it.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Hmmm they dumped this into a 'midseason' slot at the upfronts. Inhumans will be the Fall series (airing on Friday's after the newly moved Once Upon A Time) In the Tuesday 10pm slot goes "The Gospel of Kevin" which features Jason Ritter touched by an angel.

    King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

    Where was the marketing for this film? I saw one trailer for it, attached to Guardians. Was not even a one-sheet or standee in the lobby at any point and we go to the movies nearly every week during the winter months. I don't know if they completely flubbed the marketing, realized it was a...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Well the overall structure of 3 branded Arcs "Ghost Rider" / "LMD" / "Framework" they really stepped up the storytelling this year. Only took a comic-book show 4 years to realize that the TPB sized arcs makes for good storytelling. Interested to see what they tease at the finale, they...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    There's no way that EA lets Mass Effect off this easily... either they wait a few years and start development on something new with the property that is actually groundbreaking, or they start cranking out Mass Effect mobile games and do whatever they can to milk the art and feelings people have...

    I wonder if they will send her to hell OR find a way to depower her, but she goes off and becomes Madame Hydra for realz

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

    I figure either Heimdall or Hela. Thor: Ragnarok is the last 'cosmic-level' MCU entry** before the start of Infinity War so if it is going to show up it would have to be there. ** Black Panther is slated to release before Infinity War, but I don't see the Soul Gem chillaxing in Wakanda.

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

    Presumably we have to have the Soul gem in play prior to Infinity War kicking off... so I don't think it can be in Adam Warlock.

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

    I'm sure James Gunn will never say as much, but I have a feeling "Fox on the Run" was intended to be used in one of the "The Chain" sequences but they decided to swap it up in the editing process. It worked so well with some of the action sequences in the trailer...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

    Are there lots of people who are unfamiliar with this song? I keep seeing references to this as a very little known song outside of Missouri and Illinois. I grew up in Illinois and instantly recognized it from the radio when I was a kid. I also have to say, thanks to avoiding spoilers, I had...

    Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

    I think its funny seeing everyone react to Tom dancing... its like they all forgot that he was Billy Elliot on the West End and that the kid got discovered initially in a hip-hop dance class when he was like 9. You just know Disney or some other studio is fast-tracking some musical revival to...

    Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

    Well they got the visuals and music right at least. They seem to be keeping faith with the original inasmuch as we see things like the very obvious ATARI logo present in 2049. The key will be the acting / tone of the final product. The original had a number of standout performances that would...

    Marvel's The Inhumans

    The whole 'nah we aren't planning on crossing over with Agents of SHIELD' bit makes me scratch my head. Its bad enough that all the various properties only ever reference the Avengers in their respective storylines and not each other, but having two shows on ABC that feature Inhuman characters...

    God Save the Queen (Elizabeth/Phillip dying?)

    People have said Charles would let it skip over him and go straight to William for years, ever since William became an adult in fact. I'm not so sure he would. Certainly going straight to William would be better for overall head of state stability, but then again its not like the royals have...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    In my main playthrough I let Ashley die for many of the reasons above and because I was hoping to romance Kaidan (not knowing at the time this was not possible). Managed to avoid any romantic relationships at all in ME1 or ME2 and then got it on with Kaidan in ME3 after he admitted he had a...

    I will say that the whole Cassandra Nova business is when I dropped Xmen comics entirely never to read again. News articles about current goings-on in comics is enough to remind me that I'm not missing anything of note.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Precisely. It is the promise of that big payoff that keeps the 'commoners' around. They don't need to worry about keeping Mythic raiders around for two reasons: 1) The population of mythic raiders to the whole subscriber base is minuscule. Losing even 1% of the LFR crowd is more than the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    WF / TF is an excellent subscriber retention tool. Even if you think you are all maxed out for your level of performance you still have a chance of getting a critical roll and getting something nice. No way in hell do they change that.

    The Handmaid's Tale

    Was a nice bit in episode 4 where we get a glimpse of what Yvonne Craig's character did before the revolution. You can tell that internally she's chafing at the restrictions placed on her, but as a woman with at least significant privilege she would never risk pushing the envelope too much.

    The Flash

    This was pretty freaking dumb and highlights the absurdity of Flash only having 'big bads' who are speedsters. Flash has a rogues gallery second only to Batman, so why dont they make better use of it??

    The Fast Food Thread

    I've only experienced the Shake Shack in Cambridge, but both times I have been there the burgers were uninspiring and the fries were a crime against potatoes. The second time we got shakes and they were small, expensive, and bad. My go to place for 'good' burgers is therefore 5-Guys although...

    The Expanse

    I suspect its a combination of not wanting to use GFX on that plus a general lack of lanky actors. There aren't many roles for someone who has a 'belter' physique.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Yularen is a great example of an extended nod to the fans. I bet 99% of the people who watched Clone Wars and Rebels completely miss that its the same character and even among those who do notice they probably dont further connect him to the Death Star.

    Well keep in mind that a whole hell of a lot of people have been killed in order for Cambridge to be that empty. Offred, if given the chance, still thinks like her smart-phone using working woman self, but maintains the act because those who don't end up dead. So you have a society where...

    The Fast Food Thread

    The old-tier fast food joints need to figure out a way to get their franchisees to toe the line. There is such a massive difference by location for even the most basic of foods from these versus the fast casual which are lock-step identical no matter where you go.

    American Gods

    I showed it to someone and thought I might have to explain some bits afterward as he is unfamiliar with the source material, but he followed along quite well and picked up on all the important beats. He has read Sandman, however, and so is familiar with the Neil Gaiman narrative legerdemain.

    It wasn't more than a couple weeks ago we were reminiscing over burgers (since it got stupid hot here in New England for this time of the year) and brought up the DeLuxe line of craptacular burgers. We were talking about how McDs was pushing towards fresh meat for their quarter pounders and...
