I'm okay with it, provided that one or both of the following conditions are met. One, Hayley Atwell is there, or two, he reprises the role in a 120-minute high school PSA ala Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Judging by the career trajectory of Frank Lampard, I should think that if Young Master Wayne can have a single mediocre season as Derby manager, he'll more than likely be in line for one of the top jobs.

Given that players encountered issues pretty much across the board, I find the part making it sound like they were caught off guard by the game's performance on PS4 and Xbox One near-impossible to believe. And this is after specifically claiming that they were going to be honest.

Yakuza: Like A Dragon is so good, I picked it up last week and have barely put it down since. Can't get over unlocking the ability to slap someone with a stack of yen. Maybe somewhere down the line I'll try and pick up Cyberpunk too, but I'm in no mad rush.

It seems strange to think that we're still only one month removed from the release date, although it occurs to me that I've yet to see any reports on when CDPR plan to start fixing some of the design issues and cut corners. Overall, one wonders if games with super-long development cycles are simply doomed to fail, it just seems like such a clear indication of a game on the wrong track, bad management, poor production quality and suchlike.

Mine too, I think. For me, the first season of Jessica just has the edge over S1 of Daredevil.

I'm imagining something similar to Marvel's Netflix stuff now, where the seasons were also structured like very long films. My only real complaint about that approach is that it's probably better suited to binge-watching than rationing the episodes to once a week. Thinking back to things like Daredevil and Luke Cage, few of the episodes really worked as standalone pieces and seemed to have a habit of just ending rather than steering you towards any kind of pay-off.

Make it so.

It's now beginning to sound like WandaVision, while still totalling six hours' worth of content, has been bumped from six episodes to nine (Falcon and Winter Soldier will be sticking to six from its start date of mid-March). That could simply mean that each episode is around the 40-minute mark, or that we may begin to see fluctuations in length after all. I'd rather it be the former, but we'll see how it goes.

Spiffing, thanks. Do let us know though if it acts up again. -

Is it alright now or still slow? -

Bit of a strange one this, it would appear that ImageTitan thumbnails are visible to some users but not others. I don't know if there's rhyme or reason to it yet but I'm going to try and find out. -
To be honest, with all the hand-wringing about whether or not they'd be doing the R-rated thing with MCU Deadpool, I'd been thinking for a while that it might actually be funnier to have him show up in a mainline Marvel film and discover that he's incapable of swearing. That would be the ultimate fourth-wall blast.

One can only imagine what the lad Dreyfus, having presumably grown up watching the likes of Drogba, Valbuena and Ribery at Marseille, must have been thinking when Danny Graham came on for Big Chazza Wyke last night. Graham isn't far off being the shape of Neville Southall these days, with roughly about half the agility.

At this point, any effort to non-violently sideline Trump seems warranted. It does raise one potentially interesting issue though, that presumably now it'll be rather difficult for journalists or historians to look back on what Trump tweeted with a degree of accuracy. Future generations might need to know about the time he encouraged the Duchess of Cambridge to pose naked for the paparazzi, or when he was highly preoccupied with the relationship between Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart for some reason. In all seriousness though, I'd imagine that independent records of them probably do exist somewhere, but perhaps an official resource should archive them in some way. -
I did a bit of Googling and apparently, it simply came down to a scheduling issue that meant Iain was unavailable for most of the making of S7. I suppose if nothing else, it should help build anticipation for when Fitz eventually reappears.

Bear with me, I'm trying to figure out if we have a list somewhere of image hosts that we consider safe, and whether or not this particular one is on it. -

"Degree of sympathy" was me putting it politely, of course. Really all I meant by that was that law enforcement and right-wing politics have a long history of being in alignment. Therefore it seemingly wasn't until an attempt was made to storm areas of the building where elected representatives were being kept for safety, that the perception of this as a genuine threat was belatedly hit upon. There's no question though that it was an attempt to override and reverse a legitimate democratic process, however stupid and unstrategic it may have seemed. -

As much as I'm broadly in favour of de-escalation tactics, the difference is that there's a degree of sympathy between law enforcement and the radicalised Republican grassroots. Largely because Trump protesters probably wouldn't try to threaten the status quo but likely seek to reinforce it. If there comes a point where the police start to feel they're also being threatened in some way, they'll stop passively observing and close ranks. -
I'm seeing a lot of scope to explore, develop ideas and delve into all kinds of stuff. Good production values, strong casting and performances, plot and pacing are decent. However I'm getting a bit of a sinking feeling that it'll be one of those "mystery box" shows that keeps asking questions and then suddenly ends without really giving up any answers. I suppose a lot will probably hinge on whether there's a second season in the offing.

The third episode was probably my favourite of the current run. It was great to see Enver Gjokaj and Tamara Taylor, and Coulson's fight with the Chronicom was tense and well done, as was Simmons having some fun as Peggy. The whole show just looks wonderful and it's such a blast that the time flies by. One thing I'm not keen on, sidelining Fitz in a final season with such a short episode order feels like a waste.

Sheffield Wednesday fans perhaps nervously refreshing their BBC Sport feeds as we speak, as am I in case he's given a gig on Match of the Day.

I'd like to think she has plans to legally update the name as the child ages. "Happy birthday Baybi, now your name's Todlar."

As of today, Royal Antwerp's Didier Lamkel Ze is my new favourite player.

For me, the worst parts of Solo are the pointless connections to the OT, although granted, I'm very much in the camp that prefers not to know where Yoda came from, or who made the Xenomorphs, or where Wolverine got his biker jacket. In the case of Trek, I really only rate the original series and a few of the films. I haven't seen any of the recent spin-offs.
