Starting to get into spoiler territory with Marvel's PR campaign for the The Marvels. This for example:

"Kathleen Kennedy is goin' git ya!"

Who Is the Real Buffy Sainte-Marie? Weird scandal, one of Canada's long time public Indigenous cultural icons is neither Canadian nor Indigenous.

I heard the running time is 90 minutes, so basically a movie.

Attack on Titan: Final Season Part 3 Second Half

Marvel hires Punisher writer/EP for Daredevil: Born Again

Few people know the original satanic panic involved these three before those bloody heavy metal kids stole their thunder.

The Lego Marvel Avengers: Code Red was code Meh.

It's a TV special, not part of a season.

Ron Howard to adapt Godfall

Michelle Williams narrates the audiobook for Brittany Spear's autobiography.

It's fine as a show, but I'm getting irritated by the CW-ness of the young adult drama.

Wasn't planning on watching all, but I thought I had seen the first 3 years ago but not sure about the rest. Then after the 7th I wanted more... 1 was kind of lame though. 2 is better, but something is off about it. Turns out I had never seen it before though. Ethan Hunt doesn't feel like quite the same character in these first two as the rest. There's a tinge of misogyny in them both. Hopefully the 3rd is better. Now I'm doubting I saw it before either. 4-7 (and eventually 8) do feel like pretty connected, but fairly unconnected to the first 2.

Decided to watch the whole Mission: Impossible movie series, mainly because I couldn't remember if I had watched anything more than youtube clips of most of them. Started with 4 and watched in order to 7. It's a fun series and great action, but now I'm back to the beginning and man that first one hasn't held up so far in the first 30 minutes. The masks so far are unconvincing and their use of the internet is like whoever wrote it heard a rumour about how computers works rather than having first hand experience. In 1996 Ethan Hunt is looking for clues on Usenet! USENET!

Is this a reference to Star Wars or Boogie Nights?

Yes, re-edited. They apparently had enough filmed that they picked back up from the cutting room floor to make a mini-series.

Basically: 1) no version of the Dark One winning was going to be good for her, 2) she wouldn't be trusted by anyone on the side of Light, and they'd put her on trial and execute her if captured, if not outright killed. 3) she needed someone trusted by the Light side to vouch for her being dead, and Perrin was the most likely to convince, and he was accessible in Tel'aran'rhiod. 4) she Compelled him, and made him think he broke it. 5) he did not. I can't remember if it was Sanderson's speculation or RJ has actual plans for the outrigger novels but Lanfear was going to have an arc (in the Seanchan continent IIRC) and eventually going to see Rand happy, and come to terms they are toxic together and finally move on from her obsession with him.

That's an unexpected plot twist: Brandon Sanderson is an unreliable narrator!

I agree. The likely scenario is the ter'angreal cache is in Falme, and a bunch of Black Ajah + Moggy abscond with what they can grab, leading to Nynaeve and Elayne going there. It might be Egwene also goes through the red doorframe ter'angreal and decides she has to go to the Aiel Waste too. I would think that leads them to going east by ship too, and end up in Ebou Dar in season 4 to meet the Kin, do the thing with Bowl, etc. Perhaps also trying to warning Tylin about the likelihood of a Seanchan invasion. I wonder if Moiraine will get her battle with Lanfear on the docks after all, but in Falme instead -- and they do disappear into the doorframe as prisoners, but Mat eventually rescues her going through the other doorframe in Rhuidean.
