Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Well, I caught the first episode of the new season of The 100 last week. I didn't remember a lot of what had happened, so I was kind of lost. And I'd been under the impression that they got in their ship and were going off to find a new world to trash, so what I did remember was wrong. All in all, not what I was hoping for.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Oh yay, I didn't realize it was back!

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

So next year's crossover will explain why Kate Kane doesn't resemble Ruby Rose anymore?

I say that they pull a Darren and just slot in a new actress with no explanation.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

That would be easiest. They've already asked me to believe that Brandon Routh and Tyler Hoechlin are the same person, I think I can stretch my willing suspension of disbelief to casting changes.

I love when someone recasts a character and just ... slips them in. I remember the original Dynasty and they recast a character, but had him requiring plastic surgery after a horrible accident (I think he also grew a few inches but ... whatever). A soap opera I used to watch once had a character start at the top of a bluff on the California coast, start down the stairs to the beach and, at the bottom, ta-da! new actor!

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, I much prefer the cast change with no explanation. The part of x will now be played by...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Soap operas are the masters of that. SMG got replaced on AMC back in the day...

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I'm bummed about Ruby, I quite liked her. Apparently she suffered a spinal injury doing stunts while filming a movie last year, so my bet is on things being too stunty in Batwoman that would potentially further injure her spine. She will be missed.

I really need to finish watching Fort Salem... I think I made it to episode 6.
