icon_ukIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like. Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
Britain is in full election mode, which means politicians promising everthing, and Nigel Farage backtracing so fast on everything that even he must be getting whiplash, he also managed to invent a new phrase "Unilateral alliance" which basically means that he considers himself aligned with the Tory party, whether they consider themselves aligned with him or not.
In the US, the "open court" part fo the Trump impeachment process begins today. Enjoy!
In a remarkable double own goal, one of the junior Trumps, who has published a book, subtly titled "Triggered: How The Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us", firstly managed to piss off pretty much everyone on Veterans Day by comparing the sacrifice of soldiers on the battlefield to how he and his family had had to give up money and power when his father took office. Let's just say that it did not go down well (and also seems to be facually incorrect) and then managed to be booed by his own supporters to the extent he walked out of a book launch event. The reason was that he'd refused to do a Q&A session ebcause he was worried about soundbites being misquoted by the nasty left wing media, Looks like he didn't need their help.
The Arkham Sessions podcast, which has real life Clinical Psychologist Dr. Andrea Letamendi investigate the presentation of psychological aspects of various Batman characters (mostly through BTAS) has started a new season, this time looking at the psychology of "Doom Patrol" TV series. Boy, talk about a ripe target!
A trailer for the new Scooby Doo movie "Scoob" dropped and though Shaggy's voice seems a little off, it looks like it could be fun.
Thoroughly enjoyed the new She-Ra episodes, which went in any number of interesting and... unexpected directions (It actually managed to make me feel sorry for Madame Razz! And nice to see Scorpia AND my favourite trio of more or less ineffectual Horde interns get some focus.)
A trailer for Dragon Prince Season 3 has arrived ahead of it's release on 22nd November.
The BBC's telethon Children in Need is this coming Friday. Doctor Who will be a part of it, though we don't know in what way. Maybe a sketch? They did a super special feature last year, so here's hope. Also, new trailer to arrive on 23rd November, the show's 56th Anniversary!
Titans is confirmed renewed for Season 3.
Also, a new Sonic the Hedgehog trailer has arrived with the new look Sonic.
