@ Nevermore	:	(12 December 2019 - 07:45 PM) Morten Harket of A-ha might have aged 35 years on the outside, but his voice is still pretty much the same as it was in 1984. That's some great training and exercise for you.
@ wonko the sane?	:	(12 December 2019 - 06:59 PM) Depends entirely on how badly you cooked them. What?
@ TheMightyMol...	:	(12 December 2019 - 05:33 PM) Can it raise the dead?
@ RichardT1977	:	(12 December 2019 - 05:33 PM) Cheddar can do just about anything.
@ RichardT1977	:	(12 December 2019 - 05:32 PM) Cream cheese has to be on a bagel or crackers.
@ RichardT1977	:	(12 December 2019 - 05:31 PM) (for example: I like Swiss cheese on sandwiches, but find it merely tolerable by itself)
@ RichardT1977	:	(12 December 2019 - 05:30 PM) I mean are you eating it by itself? With crackers? On a sandwich?
@ TheMightyMol...	:	(12 December 2019 - 04:48 PM) I would ask, but I'd rather not know.
@ PlutoniumBoss	:	(12 December 2019 - 03:38 PM) With my mouth, usually.
@ RichardT1977	:	(12 December 2019 - 08:48 AM) Depends on how you're eating it.
@ PlutoniumBoss	:	(12 December 2019 - 01:40 AM) Havarti, without a doubt.
@ Greebtron	:	(12 December 2019 - 01:28 AM) Not Don, thanks. I'd like a writer who actually cares enough to do the job properly
@ Benbot	:	(11 December 2019 - 09:34 PM) What's your favorite cheese? I'm not sure, but it's hard to beat muenster.
@ Maximus Ambus	:	(11 December 2019 - 05:10 PM) Man I wish IDW could do a season 2.5 with a few writers like Michael Charles Hill or Donald F Glut or Paul Davids involved.
@ TheMightyMol...	:	(11 December 2019 - 04:33 PM) They were looking for Skids, but the animators forgot he existed again.
@ Maximus Ambus	:	(11 December 2019 - 02:58 PM) He regrouped with Omega Supreme, the Dinobots, Skyfire and the Protectobots.
@ Benbot	:	(11 December 2019 - 08:20 AM) Did he get infected with the rest of the Autobots or did he smartly remain off-planet?
@ TheMightyMol...	:	(11 December 2019 - 05:38 AM) He really just went to the beach for a couple of days, then called it in. Who's gonna follow up on it?
@ Maximus Ambus	:	(11 December 2019 - 05:05 AM) Anyone really believe Cosmos searched far enough for more ingredient for Corrostop?
@ Nevermore	:	(11 December 2019 - 03:48 AM) Oh, we are pretty good at "forgetting" about that. Insisting on sending people home on their overtime, THEN suddenly rushing to do the "backlog" stuff when it's really overdue.
@ wonko the sane?	:	(10 December 2019 - 05:43 PM) I've yet to find an organization which didn't have a backlog of "stuff" that needs to be done, but isn't important enough to put on the schedule proper.
@ TM2-Megatron	:	(10 December 2019 - 05:01 PM) I'm sure most good/bad (depending on your POV) bosses would be able to find something for the worker to do, in most cases, even if it's spending 8 hours pretending to push a broom around
@ Tm_Silverclaw	:	(10 December 2019 - 04:39 PM) Still better than American jobs. x.x;
@ NotVeryKnightly	:	(10 December 2019 - 11:10 AM) I'm pretty sure you've already mentioned this before. Especially that last one.
@ Nevermore	:	(10 December 2019 - 11:05 AM) That can be fun if you're strong-willed enough. "Hey, you want to go home? Overtime reduction, there's nothing to do..." - "Nah, not today. I want to work."
@ Nevermore	:	(10 December 2019 - 11:04 AM) This applies to the field of work as well. Meaning, your boss orders you to show up for a full shift, you show up on time and are absolutely willing to work, and then your boss realizes he has no work for you, your boss has to pay you for a full shift even if you don't work at all.
@ Nevermore	:	(10 December 2019 - 11:03 AM) Fun fact: German law has a concept named "default in acceptance", which postulates that if there is a "service for payment" contract, the party that should provide the service correctly offers their due service, and the party that should pay fails to accept the service within due time, the second party still has to pay the first party even if there was no service delivered.
@ wonko the sane?	:	(08 December 2019 - 10:54 PM) If it's seasonal affective disorder, check with your doc about vitamin D supplements.
@ Maximus Ambus	:	(08 December 2019 - 12:46 PM) That's what I was thinking too, It's the christmas rush and if that's not stressful enough the cold weather can also impact mental health.
@ wonko the sane?	:	(08 December 2019 - 12:41 PM) Might be a stupid question given the comment, BUT: have you done anything outside the ordinary lately? Might just be a stress reaction.
@ Maximus Ambus	:	(08 December 2019 - 12:29 PM) I've experienced sleep paralysis with ghostly images and similar things in the past and can snap out of it through moving my fingers. I've definitely hallucinated before and members of both sides of the family have had similar experience, some suffered forms of mental instability in two cases schizophrenia.
@ wonko the sane?	:	(08 December 2019 - 10:47 AM) So... either a hallucination or night terrors. Are you prone to this kind of thing?
@ Maximus Ambus	:	(07 December 2019 - 11:55 PM) It kept repeating until I sat up.
@ Maximus Ambus	:	(07 December 2019 - 11:54 PM) I've been up since three and when sheepish I was hallucinating something knocking twice against my bedroom door.
@ TheMightyMol...	:	(07 December 2019 - 06:58 PM) Then repaint Apeface and Snapdragon as Transmetal Optimus Primal and Megatron. It's crazy enough to work.
@ PlutoniumBoss	:	(07 December 2019 - 05:32 PM) Moral imperative.
@ Nevermore	:	(07 December 2019 - 05:13 PM) Wishful thinking, rumor or leak?
@ Maximus Ambus	:	(07 December 2019 - 04:48 PM) Snapdragon for Earthrise.
@ TM2-Megatron	:	(04 December 2019 - 10:22 PM) Still not the weirdest thing a Nic Cage character has done in a film
@ TheMightyMol...	:	(04 December 2019 - 04:00 PM) Couldn't be worse than him pissing fire as Ghost Rider.
@ Rycochet	:	(04 December 2019 - 03:38 PM) The Tim Burton Superman Movie is the DC movie we deserve. It would have Nic Cage in a technosuit punching polarbears.
@ Paladin	:	(04 December 2019 - 02:59 PM) Wonder Woman was great. Shazam was amazing. Aquaman... exists.
@ RichardT1977	:	(04 December 2019 - 01:54 PM) TBF, Aquaman and Shazam! were pretty good.
@ TheMightyMol...	:	(04 December 2019 - 01:00 PM) Not a difficult feat.
@ Benbot	:	(04 December 2019 - 11:50 AM) You just put more effort into telling a compelling story than all of WB's execs.
@ Cybersnark	:	(04 December 2019 - 11:41 AM) Cue the flashback to Jonathan, reassuring a terrified child: "What you are is never as important as who you are." Cue Superman's response to Brainiac: "I already know who I am."John Williams fanfare plays
@ Cybersnark	:	(04 December 2019 - 11:38 AM) I don't think we even really need to see Krypton. I'd start with Clark growing up in Kansas, thinking he's normal, and follow him through the development of his powers. There've been enough alternate takes on Krypton that it could actually work as a mystery; is this the pre-Crisis utopia, the sterile science world, or the relic of a fallen empire? Brainiac was there, and he tempts Clark with the knowledge of what he really is.
@ Otaku	:	(04 December 2019 - 11:12 AM) First, a Krypton film, ending with baby Kal-El being found on Earth. Then Supe's early career film, establishing his values... and if Jonothan Kent needs to die, it happens because of something like a heart attack while Clark is savnig folks on the other side of the world. After we know Clark minimizes property damage and never kills, have Zod & Company show up and force him to make tough choices.
@ Otaku	:	(04 December 2019 - 11:07 AM) Man of Steel seems like someone came up with a Superman trilogy and then the execs said "We've got to catch up to Marvel, make it one film!". I don't mean that based on the film's actual pacing, but because various story beats make more sense to me if they weren't all squished together.
@ Cybersnark	:	(03 December 2019 - 07:44 PM) I've been wanting to write a Superman movie trilogy for years; "Man of Steel" (featuring a Terminator-like Brainiac) was going to be first, with "Last Son of Krypton" (featuring the Eradicator) as the sequel and "Man of Tomorrow" (in which Luthor makes his face-heel turn) as the conclusion. Thanks to Snyder I have to re-arrange my titles.

The original pilot seems better. Better story and actors (I'm a fan of Kate Micucci).

Just watched the first two eps.

Good: Setting is cool. Like the light hearted full on comic book universe full of references. Like the tall Personal Assistant lady.

Bad: All the other characters are kind of terrible and it's not even a little funny. Tone of the "humor" is "everyone is a jerk."

-ZacWilliam, Verdict - unlikely to watch again anytime soon, except maybe when doing something else to check out cameos.

It's just not catching me.

The humor is too scripted feeling.

I honestly can't see this lasting the full season, much less returning next.

I hate to say this but after watching an episode of this show it makes me want to look at one of Vanessa Hudgen's leaked pictures.

Last week's episode was better. It at least did some gags that wouldn't be possible in a non-superhero context.

This show, which I have been quite enjoying, is apparently headed for cancellation. Not officially done yet, but NBC has pulled the last two produced episodes from its schedule, which can't be a good sign. Hope it gets picked up somewhere else.

That's what happens when you try to be a cheap knock-off of "Better Off Ted" with superheroes...and then leave out the superheroes.

Just started watching this. I don't think this show hits as often as it should, and the jokes are out of left field a lot of the time, but the cast is pretty great and everyone plays off of each other well.

Plus that theme song is epic.
