Has there been any talk about a follow-up to this show? A movie or something maybe? Because while I can easily see them resolving the whole "Omega is kidnapped" story with one episode left, it's a bit murkier to see how they can finish up the whole "Rex is starting up a Clone uprising" storyline that's been bubbling up underneath the surface of the whole series with the time left.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Bobby LeBeau appearance!!! I'm glad the show remembered Gambit had a brother in this universe. And even Jubilee's foster parents get a shoutout. I was hoping we'd get some mention of Beast's girlfriend from the 90's cartoon, Carly, for the hat trick, but alas, no such luck.

59. Tower of Terror (1997)60. The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot (2018) 61. Corvette Summer (1978) 62. What We Left Behind: Looking Back at Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (2018)For those not familiar, this is a retrospective documentary about Deep Space Nine. I had heard about this when it first got its limited theatrical release in 2018, but wasn't particularly interested in seeing it even though I was a big DS9 fan. Then a few weeks ago I discovered that the documentary includes a pseudo-episode for a theoretical eighth season told with some rough animation, and I was curious. Plus, it was on YouTube for free. It's a cool documentary. It kinda goes more in the way of celebrating DS9's influence on the Star Trek franchise and its fandom and sci-fi in general then it does re-visiting old stories. That said, just about everybody who had anything to do with the series shows up in this, including the notoriously reclusive Avery Brooks, and it's just fun to hear what they all have to say. As for the pseudo-episode, it makes some decisions that I wasn't a huge fan of (I'm sorry, I just don't see Kira becoming a Vedek/Priest), but it sounded entertaining and engaging enough. The biggest problem really is that it introduced a bunch of plot lines that will never ever be followed up on, let alone resolved. Oh, and Ira Steven Behr's blue goatee was really stupid looking. Seriously man, what were you thinking?

I mean, with the way titles have been lately a "transitional champion" could still mean a six to eight month reign.
That said, I'm honestly having a hard time seeing him holding onto the title too long.

Mr. T returns! Also, there are some trigger warnings at the start of the video, so watch at your own discretion -
Next week we return to something that is not a comic and has nothing to do with comics.

The correct answer, of course, is as Bobby Wilson in the original Good Morning, Miss Bliss pilot.

My guess is they are doing a battle royal since Queen of the Ring is upcoming. Do we have a date for that yet? Because if it's gonna start within like the next month they might as well have just put the vacant title on the line in that.

Man, I hate settling vacant titles in Battle Royals. There had to have been a better way to do this.
Ideally I'd like the title to eventually end up on Liv, but I feel the better booking decision would be to have some plucky underdog babyface get the surprise win in the Battle Royal and then have psycho Liv screw her over at like Backlash or something. Preferably Backlash, we don't need to drag this out for months. The problem is I don't think any of the girls listed for the Battle Royal can really pull that role off right now and get the fans behind them like that. Maybe Indi? Then when she loses the title Candice can turn on her, bitter that Indi blew her big opportunity?
I don't know, just spitballing.

For those interested, their latest "Members Only" video is up on Patreon. It's for Youngblood.
You know, it always surprises me whenever I look up "Youngblood" and discover that the "b" isn't capitalized.

Some people drink Pepsi, some people drink Coke. Why not appeal to both demographics? Damn you RC Cola drinkers! Screwing things up for the rest of us!

58. Electric Dreams (1984) 59. Tower of Terror (1997)60. The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot (2018) 61. Corvette Summer (1978)Another YouTube find, starring Mark Hamill. This was a weird movie in his career as it came out about a year after Star Wars made him a star, but before Star Wars became such a pop cultural phenomenon that he would be forever typecast as Luke Skywalker. Here he's a recent High School graduate heading to Las Vegas to try to retrieve his stolen (honestly gaudy looking) Corvette Stingray with the help of wannabe prostitute Annie Potts. It's an ok movie I guess. Hamill and Potts have decent chemistry together and it has some fun moments, but something about it just never came together and clicked with me. Maybe it's just how unashamedly 70's it is.

I'm giving this a "like" simply because it subverted my expectations and wasn't about the special where Linus' girlfriend is dying of leukemia.

Not where I was expecting them to go with the story after last week, but interesting none the less.

Lewis Carrol's original Alice books would have been understood in their time as satirizing various moralistic children's books of the era. However, all that literature has long since been forgotten outside scholars while the Alice stories endured, so now they just come off as highly creative and surreal children's books rather than the pseudo parodies they were created as. I don't know how true this is, but I once read an article that claimed that Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was originally meant to be an angry and passionate rebut by Lewis Carroll against the recently accepted mathematical concept of imaginary numbers. Apparently Wonderland is what happens when you try to calculate the square root of -1.

Does anyone under the age of 45 remember the Carol Burnett Show? Was watching something off Catchy Comedy channel,think it was Mama's Family,and ads for their nightly airings of Carol Burnett aired. And she had no clue what that show was. I'm right on the cusp of 40 and have never seen an episode of the Carol Burnett show. I've caught clips of it here and there, and just thought "people really found this funny?" I guess you just had to be there at the time. I'm 44 now and for the longest time whenever I'd see anybody mention The Carol Burnett Show I genuinely thought they were referring to her short-lived anthology show Carol & Company from like 1990. Which, while a solid enough time killer, felt like such an underwhelming show to praise, and at the time I dismissed as a rip-off of The Tracey Ullman Show. But it was literally the only thing I knew Burnett from. It wasn't until I was in my twenties that I learned she had another, much more popular and long running show in the 70's.

I had to go with "Queen of Hearts". In the early-to-mid 2000's, when I was a young college graduate working stocking shelves at the local CVS, it was a regular on the music channel the store played and I became a fan of it.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is a ploy to get more money/better push by Hook. I just can't see him leaving his dad to go to NXT and beat up Joe Gacy and a random ex-college kid every week for about a year or two. Reports last year were that Taz wants Hook to go to WWE though, so it's not like this news just came out of nowhere. Though I do wonder how things would go after the Jinder nonsense a few months back. Did Hook ever actually directly get involved in that mess? I seem to remember that was mostly Tony Khan.

there's like 10-15 names but the problem is if there is enough room right now. the one i'd pick above all is Dijak though, he would be a real fun Cody challenger with the rocket on him and impress Raw crowds a lot. I've been enjoying Dijak's character work in NXT and his feuds are usually fun, but outside of Joe Gacy I can't think of a single one where he actually came out on top of. You never know what'll happen on the main roster and maybe he'll take off like LA Knight did, but I'm just not seeing Dijak-PLE Main Eventer/World Championship Contender in the cards.

How long until he reviews Sonichu? That was also on his "I'll never review this" list... Technically the entry on the list wasn't for Sonichu specifically, but for webcomics in general. He crossed that off the list awhile ago as well. Actually, looking over the list, I'm really surprised he hasn't gotten a Patreon request for Archie Meets the Punisher yet. Although I guess reviewing that wouldn't really be breaking any new ground like it would've been back in the day.

Perry and The Bucks were never going to escape the backstage stuff so they leaved into it. No different than Vince with the Bret stuff . Sometimes you can’t ignore the elephant in the room. Yeah, but the "Bret screwed Bret" stuff that Vince was doing was within a month of Montreal happening, when it was fresh and people cared the most. All In was nearly nine months ago. Most fans have moved on from it. Is it worth resurrecting the whole mess just for the benefit of the few fans who care about Punk's interview on Ariel Helwani?
