The Origins mask seems like it'd be even harder for him to see to his right than it should be with having just a left eye.

To get an idea of how much of an opening you need for a wide field of vision, look at modern motorcycle helmets. Granted, those aren't sitting right on the face, but still.

I will never understand how the Tv show that's a faithful adaptation of a very popular best-selling book series spawned a fandom so psychotic about avoiding spoilers

I saw someone complain about spoilers for The Return of the King back when the movie came out. People will *always* complain about spoilers.

Most people on the planet would have had no reason to read LOTR in their life. I never understand this stupid argument. It doesn't matter how old it is. No one is forced to read GoT or LOTR in their lives. You can read a ton of books and never have read either series. I have personally never read Dune, for example. It literally costs nothing to let people enjoy something as they experience it for the first time. Do you really walk around like an rear end in a top hat and mistreat people because you happen to have seen/read whatever they are currently experiencing before them? I mean I'm the one who has usually seen/read poo poo before most of my friends and family and I don't act like a colossal dick just because they are slower to get around to it than me. I saw Winter Soldier before most of my friends and family and I didn't make a big deal out of the fact that a bunch of them only saw it this weekend and some haven't even seen it yet. I know a few who are waiting for the DVD even. I knew people who knew jack poo poo about The Hobbit and I didn't roll my eyes at them when they expressed ignorance regarding the story. Just don't be a dick to people!

I swear that geeks are some of the most miserable people I have ever known in my life.
At which point did I say I was the one delivering said spoilers? I've never read LOTR and have no particular desire to do so.

Does Scalped get good? I read the first trade and thought the art was hideous and the main character completely unlikeable.

Is this really going to be airing on a Friday? Are Fridays no longer death slots or is NBC just saying "good luck new guy" to the show?

Being on NBC is a death slot, so being on Fridays is just a matter of degrees at this point.

Plus I have the feeling that they realize the audience they're targeting is *probably* not the type that will watch it live, anyway, so it doesn't matter as much.

Is it on youtube yet? I'm honestly not going to pay to see summer slam if I only care about fiveish minutes of it, but I do want to see that.
WWE is pretty good about keeping their content off YouTube (unless they upload it, of course), especially current PPV content. It might show up like Vimeo or DailyMotion or somewhere that's less stringent than YouTube. Or you can just wait for the next free month of the Network, which tend to come every three months or so.

EDIT: Never mind, I guess. They're good at keeping good quality off, though! Seeing a screen grab of a pirate stream is kind of funny, though.

Well, you would think that if he could mind-control anyone, he wouldn't need to worry about being physically inconspicuous. But whatever, best not to get too hung up on this.
Unless they changed how his powers work, his mind-control isn't quite like that. He has to actually tell people what to do, so he would have to be constantly whispering at people for this to work.

The Word is barely a defining characteristic of Jesse, and Ennis pretty much has him stop using it halfway through the series except in really special situations. Even ignoring that, maybe the idea is to make it a surprise to people coming in fresh to the series.

Some details about the CW Riverdale show have been released.

quote:

Archie Andrews is described as "pumped and looking good after working construction for his dad during the summer," plus "harboring more than one dark, terrible secret." Consistent with classic Archie traits, he's pursuing music and playing football -- and fielding romantic interest from multiple girls.

In a move likely to raise some eyebrows, Betty Cooper is said to have "some self-esteem issues and affinity for Adderall." Less surprising, she's also said to be "eager-to-please, wholesome and studious." Betty will also have a "emotionally brittle mom" and "goth-like sister," and it's noted, ominously, that her spot on the cheerleading team comes "with certain conditions."

"Riverdale" is looking to "ideally" cast a Latina performer in the role of Veronica Lodge, TVLine reports. She's said to have recently returned to Riverdale after a scandal that saw her father go to prison, and is dubbed "extremely intelligent, self-confident and immediately popular" -- and looking to shed her Mean Girl image.

The show's Jughead Jones is called an "emo-heartthrob," and the producers are said to seek a hearing-impaired actor for the role. When the show picks up, Archie and Jughead will no longer be best friends due to an as-yet undisclosed schism, with Jughead "refusing to take the olive branch being proffered by Archie, the hurt goes that deep."

I pay like $90 a month for cable and internet. All my promos have long expired. If there was a service that let me get USA live, I'd cut off the ~$20 a month the cable portion of that costs me.

I just want to watch Raw live.

Man, they really fixed that costume from how stupid it looked in the season finale. It's still probably not quite as strong as the black mask since it's a bit too busy, but at least it no longer looks like you were watching a crime thriller and suddenly Iron Man 3 showed up.
I really loved the palpable saltiness in the interview with the first season's costume designer.
