I got caught up on The Gifted this weekend. I think I'm about done with that show. None of the characters are particularly interesting and the writing has gotten to cringe worthy levels of bad.

Doctor Who: Glad I'm not an Arachnophobe.

Legends: Only watched 3/4 of the episode, but was looking on my DVR and next week's is titled Dancing Queen and is in the 1970s. My mom loves ABBA and will be disappointed if it doesn't feature their music. (I just bought her the Mama Mia movie collection on Friday). I actually thought that it was this weeks episode, and told her over the weekend that she should watch it. Only to remember afterward that it was the Fairy Godmother this week. Oh, and Nate's dad is Biff... I think I knew that, he must have showed up in a previous episode? I think...



Next week's walking dead: SpoilerRick's end. And seems the episode is going to be all in his head. Maybe they'll write the whole series off as the random fan-theory of the whole thing being in comatose-Rick's mind. Then end the series.


Edit:

So, Orville wasn't cancelled. Season 2 starts December 30th... Surprised there. Thought for sure it was gone.


Flash: SpoilerWhy did Barry start moving backward when Nora was trying to kill him? I understood him slowing, and even stopping, to show Nora outpacing him. But... to go in reverse? He moved like half a football field backward. I must have missed something. Edit: So, google said Nora's speedforce power lets her reverse time when she runs really fast. Explained when she did the whole "save the world from the Comet" thing in the start of the season. I just forgot.

Also, Apple is going to have a hard time competing with the new Meta-phones.

Cicada's actor is Oz from American Pie. I had a friend back in college who looked like him (and was given the name as a nickname because of it), and I remember it every time I see the guy.

Ewan McGregor will join Margot Robbie in Birds of Prey, though rumors are the movie isn't really called that because ... reasons?

Apparently it does.

If you somehow haven't seen it floating around the interwebs yet, there's a decent copy of the olde 1994 Fantastic Four movie that was never released. Spoiler

This time, I don't think Siri is to blame.

Here's hoping they have cameos filmed for years to come.

Nah, he's not dead. He's just been in public for a really long time and if he stayed active people would start asking questions.

I met him once at a New York Comic Con when he was still doing book signings and appearances. I'm not going to pretend he said something super inspirational or I had any impact on him either, but the guy's personality was just so amazing that it felt like he cared on a personal level if that makes sense. I'm sure his responding "I did it for you" when I gushed about reading these books forever was repeated to pretty much everyone, but the man sold it well.

Thursday night there's going to be a vigil for him, and I'm going to try to sneak my way to it.

I'm not crying. You're crying.

Yeah, that was a lot more interesting than I thought it would be.

Apparently Bill Maher said something about Stan Lee that pissed off a lot of comic fanboys. Which, whatever. Getting mad at Maher for saying something is like getting pissed off at Howard Stern. It's his job and the only way anyone pays any attention to him.

As you know, the show greatly deviates from the books so take this multiple layered spoiler with a grain of salt but SpoilerSpoilerSpoilerthey're more like the Wolves from a season or two ago. They do some damage but they're basically the subbosses until the next Governor/Negan/Saviors show up. You can really tell Kirkman ran out of ideas after the Prison. Someone, somewhere, said that it would be neater if the walkers really were evolving, and all I could think was "That's called Z Nation."

The big story seems to be that Venom made a lot of money, and the movie just wasn't that good. It's okay if you don't know what Venom is, and even then it's pretty much average. This is going to turn into a whole Fast & Furious and/or Transformers thing. Which, segging into Bumblebee, the trailer shows Soundwave, which is the first time I've been interested in a Transformers movie since the 80s.

I don't think the show itself hinted at it. Meanwhile I spent the episode Spoileryelling at the TV to "JUST SAY MAGNETO" several times. In the books first she was his daughter, and then she wasn't, and now she is again, while Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver weren't, then they were, and now they aren't ... sometimes I hate comic book genealogy.

Daredevil got the axe from Netflix, joining Iron Fist and Luke Cage. Punisher is still in production so that'll probably still air, and Jessica Jones is supposed to be getting ready to so those two (or just Punisher) are it for the Marvel Netflix shows. Shame, really. Some were good, some weren't, but still rather have them than not.

Aquaman seems to be getting good buzz, but I just don't see it.

They did something similar on Dragon Ball Super, when Vegeta was cloned so they used the original voice actor as the "evil Vegeta" and it was pretty great. DuckTales seems to be pretty good, but for the life of me I can't seem to catch it and have been watching it out of order.
