Not to mention that “indivisible” is now a lie.

About 30 years ago this evangelical wrote a series of books called Left Behind. Donald is Nicolae Carpathia (the Antichrist figure) without the intellect, charm and charisma.

It would also have given the wives a chance to say- “this isn’t rocket science”.

Just out of curiosity, what’s the first issue you remember buying? Mine is #120- “Chaos in Canada”
Brian (@mildwintersoldier.bsky.social) reply parent
I really love this back and forth. Lots of old happy memories. I looked this up- though I do like trying from memory. X-Men #137, where Phoenix dies, was a touchstone for me. That was released in August 1980, so your Dracula timeframe is accurate. (And I do not blame Kurt at all for Amanda)
Brian (@mildwintersoldier.bsky.social) reply parent
Nah. I’m talking about 15 issues before the end of the Dark Phoenix Saga. This is him consorting with a witch! Not a smoking gun, be he just wasn’t shown as religious in those days. The example you show is years later. I’m pretty old.
Brian (@mildwintersoldier.bsky.social) reply parent
I really liked Nightcrawler- the circa 1980 version before he was religious and before the time everyone was “omega level”. His power set was simple- acrobatic, can hide in shadows, prehensile tail, and teleportation. Not overpowered but overall useful.

From what I hear, I think they expect the 86- year old to provide farm labor

He does, but he also knows how to handle the feckless reporters who never ask “A month ago, you said you’d deal with X in two weeks. What happened?”
Brian (@mildwintersoldier.bsky.social) reply parent
I am prepared to give Donald a bit of credit- 2 weeks is general enough and distant enough that whatever new atrocities that arise- and they always do- will make people forget about promises from a fortnight ago.
Brian (@mildwintersoldier.bsky.social) reply parent
Then there’s “two weeks” which is absolutely meaningless

Ok, they didn’t seem reluctant to me. I don’t recall Joel, as her guardian giving consent and don’t see their insistence on killing their ONLY subject without exploring other options. Felt like a shot in the dark to me, and I wouldn’t consent if it were my kid. That’s my trolley problem thought.
Brian (@mildwintersoldier.bsky.social) reply parent
Memory is hazy on season 1 and I didn’t play the game, but didn’t Joel go into that facility in the finale to save a 14 year old girl from being killed? All I see with Abby is a young woman with an Ahab complex with a bunch of henchmen.

The acting is so good, I hate them both and am rooting for the infected- if I continue watching which is doubtful. The Walking Dead lost a third of its viewers after Negan clubbed Glenn to death.

As I recall the other Yellows were shocked that Nyneave used Fire and Earth in her weaves. I would think limiting Healing to the other 3 forces healers to be unnecessarily complex with their recipes to compensate for ingredients they refuse to use. That’s just a guess.

Thanks for asking- it was in the theater back in 1977. I just asked my wife your question and she had the same answer. I think what made it enduring though was when Timothy Zahn wrote the Thrawn Trilogy- which to me is THE sequel to RotJ.

Well, the important part was making sure the Black bad cop was there- in case anything went wrong and they needed a scapegoat. Or maybe they’re like the Uvalde cops and were afraid for their safety.
