The Mercury Eight was a runner in its day.

Yeah, that's a new one on me too. Where I'm from, "Merc" is usually gearhead speak for a Mercury not a Mercedes. Then again, I'm old and out of it, so what do I know.

That's just not so. J.M. Barrie's book popularized Wendy as a girls name, but it predates the book by centuries.

Good points all. Blizzard never has prioritized communication.

Too late. Someone at Blizzard should have remembered that "You never get a second chance to make amfirst impression." No amount of FOMO will bring me back to this tedious grind disguised as an event.

Of the 16 images, five don't count. The one with the Gorn is an obvious joke, but for four other, Kirk wasn't acting of his own free will. He was being physically controlled by God like aliens, mind controlled or straight up sexually assaulted.

I have mixed feelings. Man of Steel was a good film with a decent, modern take on the character. Henry Cavil was a great casting choice for the lead role and I'd love to see him get another shot at it. I don't see the need for a reboot with a different cast. It feels like he's being punished for Superman v Batman and Justice League, films with shortcomings that were not his fault.

I'd rather see Gunn do for Superman what he did with The Suicide Squad - retain good performers from the lackluster predecessor films but give them a good script to work with.

This is what one of Edmond Dantes alter egos did in the Count of Monte Cristo. “Lord Wilmore” was an eccentric Englishman who understood French perfectly well, but refused to speak it:

… Lord Wilmore appeared….His first remark on entering was, "You know, sir, I do not speak French?"

"I know you do not like to converse in our language," replied the envoy.

"But you may use it," replied Lord Wilmore; "I understand it."

To keep my family as happy and healthy as possible, as long as possible.

Nice, thanks for digging that up. It’s different than I remembered, but the important part is the same, Chewie got a medal.
