So
Li’l Donnie Trump reversed course on separating children from immigrant
families? So whoop-de-fucking do for Trump “solving” a problem he and his administration
created. And word is that things may not be all that solved. What about kids
already separated from families? Who knows?
Melania
Trump went on a trip to go see the kids
down at the southern border, an act of kindness and compassion completely
undermined by her wearing a coat with a slogan on the back: “I don’t really care.
Do you?” Can you imagine if Michelle Obama had worn a coat in any capacity with
“I don’t really care. Do you?”
emblazoned on the back? Fox News would be losing its collective shit.
You know what? Fuck politics! Let’s
talk pop culture for a bit.
Saw
the finale for season 3 of Supergirl this past Monday. I still like Supergirl
but dang the show makes it difficult sometimes with some disjointed storytelling
choices. For example, Kara’s discovery that her mother and other Kryptonians
are still alive lacks emotional impact. Also the whole deal with James Olsen being
Guardian. There’s no build up that National City even knows who Olsen’s armored
alter ego is or that the citizens of National City actually gives any fucks about
the guy. So Olsen’s out of nowhere agonizing over his identity being outed or
not lacks impact since there’s been zero effort on screen before hand to suggest
Guardian is even significant to National City. What with the finale showing James
Olsen, acting CEo of CatCo, has been
spending his nights as an armored vigilante should be sufficient cause for Cat
Grant to come back. And we have sorely missed Ms. Grant’s presence.
In
my ongoing efforts to watch more TV, I recently finished my re-watch of
Episodes and I’m almost done with the 2nd season of Santa Clarita
Diet which continues to amuses me as much as it disgusts me. My daughter Randie and I are continuing to
make our way through Brooklyn Nine Nine.
What do I want to watch next? I’m thinking I want to jump into
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. I’m kind of interested in Glorious Ladies Of Wrestling
(GLOW).
In
comics, Brian Michael Bendis is proving to be quite adept at Superman so far. I’m
enjoying the Man of Steel mini-series so far.
Also, I’m excited by the news from
DC to produce giant sized comics for distribution through Wal-Mart. Anything to
put comics in front of people who may not make it into a comic book shop, I’m
in favor of. Some of the material to be presented in these titles, I already
have but I may buy some issues just to support this initiative. $5 for 100
pages of comics is not a bad deal.
There
was an announcement that producer Alex Kurtzman would be taking over Star Trek Discovery
and would be overseeing additional Star Trek TV projects include a post Next Generation project with Patrick
Stewart attached. That project interests me beyond just Next Gen nostalgia but
the idea of Star Trek doing something it hasn’t done for a long time: move
forward. Since Voyager, Star Trek has just been looking backward. Revisiting
the original series in an alternate time line in the current movie series. On
television, Star Trek has looked back before the original series with
Enterprise and Discovery. If we can get
a post Next Gen series, we can start looking towards new frontiers of the future
instead of mining Trek’s history for yet another prequel series. I would definitely be on board for that.
OK,
I should touch base on Doctor Who. I STILL DON’T KNOW ANYTHING!!! C’mon,
Chibnall! Give us something! A crumb! A speck! Pleeeeeeeaase!!!!!!
Tomorrow
on the blog, look for Episode Four of my Doctor Who fan fiction, The Dalek
Planet.
Next
week. I’m going to be really super busy and not in a position to post to the
blog. So have arranged for a series of
posts to keep you company called Lois Lane Versus. It will be a series of posts
as we watch the intrepid investigative reporter for the Daly Planet take on
Lana Lang, the sun, racism and death itself.
Until
next time, remember to be good to one another.
