Comments | Blaine: Why does Amazon list the key actors as Tim Daly, Geoffrey Arend, and Erich Bergen when the undeniable star is Tea Leoni? Not just performance, but she’s the TITLE CHARACTER. Is there a sexist algorithm at work, or is there a neutral algorithm in place that exposes the sexism of the user base? | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “Wonder Woman is my pick of the month, let alone the week, and possibly my pick of the year. Remember, this is in a week with a Firefly special anniversary edition and a month with Hitchcock’s only Best Picture Winner coming to Criterion Blu-Ray.” Alex says, “Wonder Woman is on my to-watch list, especially since I missed it when it was in theaters.”
Anyone curious, it’s DC’s Captain Marvel, not Marvel’s Captain Marvel in the first one. Or, probably Fawcett’s Captain Marvel that later was DC’s and later still was Shazam.
It’s been 15 years since Firefly? Damn.
We shall never forget…
Can’t stop the signal.
