This will 100% be part three of the WandaVision-AgathaAllAlong-VisionQuest story. The official cast list has Tommy. I expect a twin reunion in the finale, and setting up a search for Wanda by the end.

Exactly. It also gives students the ability to improve and not just give up.

Let’s assume 10 assignments determine your grade in a class. You completely skip the first 4 assignments and get 0%. If you completely turn around and score 100% on the next 6 assignments, your overall grade is 60% and you fail the class.

But! If you were the student who skipped the first 4 assignments, what incentive do you have to even try and improve?

The 50% score is to give students without hope a chance. If it’s college level, sure maybe failing is the best option. But high school? Middle school? Even younger? Give kids a chance to improve.

I expect it to be a well told cameo fest, so both will probably be true.

We’ll all be Leo during the film,

But that doesn’t mean characters won’t have stories. I imagine the trouble will be some characters not getting enough screen time.

Buuuuuut, if we’re doing a soft reset after Secret Wars with the universes coming together, give all the legacy characters their moment and any team ups we want to see in the future can still happen.

You’re definitely right that the Sokovia Accords and Civil War address this. I was thinking more as we’re on the cusp of Doomsday/Secret Wars and introducing mutants if we might get Superhero/Mutant Registration Act as a major storyline.

Also I won’t spoil anything but having now seen the show completely, they discuss this concept a bit more in the future.

When I first played Skyrim it was the “complete” edition with all the DLC. The game starts fun enough, I complete the intro, wander around a bit and find an interesting quest that takes me to a big city.

Immediately two vampires attack me. I know now this is the start of a plot hook for one of the DLCs, but it was so confusing. Suddenly I was forced to do a whole vampire side plot because every time I ignored it more vampires showed up.

I hope DLCs have improved since then because it was a terrible introduction to the game.

It did. It’s a bit of a bummer because Venom was highly financially successful and the first film was not half bad. That films success is what likely gave all the other films a shot, and to your point the Venom films were all financially successful despite the drop in quality.

Exactly. This is Sony declaring victory in the console wars. You could argue “But Nintendo”, but Nintendo was never playing the same game as Sony & Microsoft. You want to play Nintendo games, you buy a Nintendo. You want to play Sony games, Sony says you have to buy a Sony PlayStation.

I’m not a fan, but it could work.

move the franchise forward

You’re absolutely right and we’ve been asking for this since the end of Voyager and I think one of the biggest reasons why Enterprise had such rough time.

90s Trek was fantastic and did a great job handing off to each other. Even Voyager being stranded was still moving the world forward. Then we reset back to the first Enterprise, absolutely killing all the momentum.

The best thing Discovery ever did (apart from soft launching Strange New Worlds which got lucky) was launch us into the far future and give us a place to build.

I never would have asked for that. Picard seemed like that path forward, but struggled (season 1), told a what if story (season 2), and then just did a fun reunion (season 3). But ultimately set up a Seven show that just never happened.

But we’re in the far future now. Discovery put us there. Starfleet Academy is building and moving us forward again. It’s not perfect, but it’s building and I’m in.

So this is a weird one.

Per Wikipedia,

The 4th Children’s and Family Emmy Awards… eligibility period ran from June 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025, mirroring that of the Primetime Emmy Awards.

The issue is that the most recent Primetime Emmy Awards show happened back in September 2025.

For some reason the Children’s and Family awards happen about 6 months later.

Curious to know what you didn’t like.

I had issues with Kingpins rushed storyline. I think if Barton is afraid of someone we should have seen Kingpin do something that we the audience were afraid of. His relationship with Echo was interesting, but ends abruptly.

I think Yelana’s story needed a little more room to breathe. We understand she is upset, but we don’t know that she has the context of how Nat died and she is just lashing out. It feels like a revenge story, but really it’s a “just looking for someone to blame” story.

That being said I think Kate’s story worked really well. I think she had excellent chemistry with Clint and with Yelena. I liked the flip of the Swordsman being a good guy. It features an excellent musical.

Overall pretty good.

stop selling the item until the incorrect price is corrected

Not a lawyer but couldn’t they just refuse to sell it to you? We all know it would be bullshit but couldn’t a company say “Oh that minimum wage clerk made a mistake, but don’t blame them, just an honest mistake.”

Or is the law, if it’s on the shelf, it must be honored?

I mean we should absolutely build more railways and we should absolutely have more bus routes, but there are times when a car makes the most sense.

Especially in more rural areas. If I want to visit my parents I can take a short walk to a bus or rail to a different bus or rail, but then I’m stuck. There isn’t and there will never be a bus or rail that goes anywhere near their home because it’s just too far in the middle of nowhere (and honestly it’s not really that far in the middle of nowhere).

Not to mention that the US was designed for cars. Arguably that’s where a lot of these problems started, but you can’t just be Captain Hindsight and demand we rebuild absolutely everything.

We should absolutely be investing and funding rails and buses much more than we are now. It’s embarrassing how far behind the US is.

The US Penny.

I know what you’re thinking, but you mentioned legislation being on the docket so I had to bring it up.

Per https://commoncentsact.com/

Legislative Status Update - January 2026

Production Status: Penny production ended November 12, 2025 via executive action by the Treasury Department. [Treasury FAQ]

Legislation Status: The Common Cents Act (H.R.3074/S.1525) remains pending in Congress.

Rounding Rules: No federal law mandates cash rounding. Only non-binding Treasury guidance exists. At least ten jurisdictions restrict rounding.

Legal Tender: Pennies remain in circulation and are legal tender indefinitely. [Source]

Congress can not pass anything, it’s embarrassing. Production of the US Penny already stopped. Basically everyone is fine with it. But there are some edge cases that require federal law to actually bring an end to the penny properly and make actual law what we expect everyone to do as a result… And they still haven’t done shit about it.

So Congress is never going to address Daylight Savings Time. They can’t even handle the penny.

Grey’s Anatomy

As someone who still watches let me assure you we all want it to come to an end. There was even a moment a few seasons ago where Meredith left and it seemed like we were set up for a perfect send off.

But it just kept going. Meredith is weirdly sometimes back despite living in Boston. But next season is probably the last season, and I’ve watched it all at this point, so what’s a little more. Right?

(It’s also still fine as background TV, so that’s probably why I still keep up.)

That’s difficult to quantify, but not that hard.

Modern consoles are just like modern computers.

Lots of complicated things are abstracted away or covered by something else. For example if you developed a game using an existing engine you probably can just check a box and like magic it just works.

If you built your own engine, you probably only tested it against dev kits and real console hardware. It’ll probably mostly just work but might have some unexpected bugs. These too are probably also abstracted away in a lot of cases, which means it either just works or doesn’t take a lot of work to make work.

I imagine Sony’s logic is that it isn’t worth the effort. They probably don’t see the return on investment they want.

They probably look at someone like Nintendo who never port their games and often sell them for full price, it’s kinda shitty for consumers but Nintendo makes bank (and to be fair they usually do make great games). Plus it looks like Microsoft is walking away from consoles so Sony has less to compete with.

Sorta. It’s developed by the team that made Dragon Quest Builders, which leans more towards Minecraft/Terraria, or maybe Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley.

It’s hard to tell, but it should be like Animal Crossing, but with more complex building.

I mean the Venom solo film barely worked and decreased in quality as it went along. Kraven had its moments, but really wasn’t much. The rest never even had anything worth watching.

And that was with these films being largely disconnected.

A reboot doesn’t even really mean anything.

Work with Marvel Studios proper, you’ll make more money and a better product.

You’re right that putting people in bubbles is probably one way some of these things get worse. If all you see is toxic, toxic is the norm, now you’re always toxic.

Maybe they can tricked.

Although really what we’re talking about is the algorithm that currently exists being focused on highlighting terrible people doing terrible things. Can we turn that same algorithm around and use it for good?

Interesting article and I think it really highlights how toxic some parts of the Internet are. My only issue is the conclusion,

A social media ban for under-16s might prevent young boys seeing endless content that treats women with contempt and hate. Boys at this age are very susceptible to the cool and funny framing of what is, in reality, relentless misogyny. A ban might not fix the problem, but it would help. If society can’t stop it, it can show it disapproves.

Emphasis mine. Having grown up in a different era I can confirm that boys of a wide variety of ages, including much older “boys”, can also be scumbags. Even if we had the perfect technology to ban under-16s from social media, once they hit 16 they’d still be exposed to it, still become terrible people, and the author of this article, although a but older, would still see it. I don’t know if that really is a better world, just a slightly delayed one.

I don’t know the solution, but I remember reading once that some online game would put all the reported and abusive players into a special category where they would be forced to play only with each other. Maybe we can do that in this case.

Oh absolutely. There are laws the restrict cigarette advertising as an example.

I just doubt you could 100% eliminate/make illegal all types of advertising for private business.
