Well, I do think this is all cyclical.  Bush led to Obama.  Obama led to Trump.  What will Trump lead to?  The pendulum has to swing back.  Is that AOC?  Is that DSA? 

Sometimes I get frustrated at how this can all be fixed.  But America healed after a true Civil War.  Germany healed after putting the original Nazis in power and then again when it was split in two after World War II.  Countries seemingly come back from this type of stuff a lot.

I still maintain that Trump and his ego are the problem.  I'm not saying there aren't fascists behind Trump ready to take the next step, but I think Trump offers a specific problem because he's so charismatic, he gets so many people who don't normally vote to vote, and he is litigious with the money to back up his lawsuits.  I don't think anyone else is going to have that combination anytime soon.  JD Vance has almost none of that.

So just calmly waiting for _________

Well I think the good news about Republican media is that I think they have everyone already they're going to get.  When a Trump official or republican congressman goes on Fox News and lies about the state of the world, they're preaching to the choir.  I cannot imagine a ton of people are being converted back into MAGA people by Republican media.  2024 was a time when people had forgotten the first Trump presidency, and they were sick enough of Democrats and Biden to take any offramp.

Now, people remember.  Trump has seemingly lost almost all his Hispanic support in two years, and young people are getting more and more disillusioned.  Democrats are winning in a lot of places they lost in 2024, and they're making places that were deep red competitive.  And none of the Republicans can dare to try and split the middle and speak out against what Trump is doing.  So those brainwashed Fox News people are the only ones who will vote for them.

I think if this were any other midterm in my lifetime, it would be a bloodbath.  The Democrats would take the House and the Senate.  They'd win state legislatures and governorships and local races up all over the country.  I think there's a real shift away from Trump and his BS.  But Trump controls law enforcement and the mail and every branch of the government.  I'm still not convinced he won't manufacture something to delay or postpone or cancel the election.  If he can't stop the election, he'll stop certain people from voting.  If he can't do that, he'll try and overturn elections he lost.

Maybe all that will fail.  Trump is slower and I'm not 100% sure he cares about congress.  Maybe he won't bother.  But I just cannot find enough hope to believe that things will look better in three or five months.

Tell your fellow Canadians that we're sorry.  And hopefully sanity can return in 2028 and we can be friends again.

*******

If sanity returns, I'm most excited here on August 24, 2026 to vote for Ossoff in two years.  He has Gavin Newsom's fire without all the other Gavin Newsom traits.

Is Strange New Worlds too silly?

Its very clear that these guys love their work and love each other and have a ton of fun, but it's somehow more cartoonish than Lower Decks.  Well, maybe at least as cartoonish.

I think it's still well done and fun, but it feels like Legends of Tomorrow.  Or even seasons 3-5 of Sliders in the ways it stretches the premise to do wacky things just so they can do wacky things.

Very sad to hear that Hayden Panettiere passed away.  Also very sad to hear about some of the struggles she's had in recent years.  I think we occasionally think of these pretty blonde girls as having the whole world, and it's important to remember that everyone has demons.

I hope she finds the peace in death that she could not find in life.

I really enjoyed Spider-Man: Brand New Day

I thought it was a really thoughtful movie that used a lot of MCU characters to make the world feel lived in and real.  I thought the performances were really good, the direction was great, and the story was a lot of fun.  It was really nice to see that Peter would go to Yelena for help with intel, to Bruce for help with science, to Frank with help on strategy.  It probably does the best job of using the shared universe in a really long time.

I don't have a ton of negative things to say, but a few things sorta bothered me.  Maybe just enough to bump it down to a 9.5/10.  I really liked it.

- Jean Grey.  Going in, that's who I assumed she would be.  But as the movie went on, I wondered if maybe I'd been tricked.  So when it was revealed, I was a little torn.  I don't read almost any X-Men comics, but do we think comic Jean Grey would do all the things that Jean does in this movie?  There were a couple of things that she did (putting civilians in danger and taking over MJ) that felt crueler than the Jean Grey that I know from movies and the cartoons.  I understand a) she was angry and b) she can change and be redeemed, but she could've easily killed dozens (hundreds?  thousands?) of people with her actions in this movie.  And I don't know if she came off as smart or impressive, either.  I think she probably could've been honest with Peter about 1/3 of the way through the movie and saved herself a lot of trouble.  I also worry about the whole body-snatcher aspect.  My understanding is that she can't traditionally do that.

- I'm still a little blown away by the lack of Sam Wilson in Phases 4-6.  He was in Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and he was in Brave New World.  I think it would've made the Multiverse saga better if he was in 10 of these movies.  He should've been the Nick Fury of these movies, and I'm just not entirely sure why he's been almost completely absent for most of this.  If Sam is really doing some kind of secondary Avengers, why wouldn't Peter go to him?  I don't know which Avengers that Peter has spent any time with, but unless Yelena is way easier to get in contact with, he's at least fought next to Sam and Scott.  It would just be nice to have any information on what Sam is doing.

- No references to Daredevil: Born Again.  The same city that voted in Wilson Fisk is cheering on Peter all movie?

- I liked the Spider-Man post-credits, but I would've loved to have something with Jean teasing the X-Men, but it sounds like they don't have their ducks in a row to do that yet.

But great movie.  Really loved it.  Probably the best movie of this whole saga if I'm being honest.  Would love another several Tom Holland Spider-Man movies.  Maybe two more before they introduce Miles and then a couple Peter and Miles movies before Tom steps away.

I really like Tom King.  I enjoyed his run on Batman, which I read recently, and I've enjoyed a lot of his one-off stories (Vision, Human Target, etc, although the one I haven't read is Mister Miracle).

I guess when I say adapt it, I'm referring to the artwork.  The art in Woman of Tomorrow is so striking, and it seems like all that color got washed out for the movie.  A YouTuber I like quite a bit, Nando v Movies, said the worst thing that could've happened to Supergirl was Project Hail Mary.  That movie has a sequence that is so bright and colorful and would've fit in perfectly in a Woman of Tomorrow adaptation.  Then the movie comes out and it's all brown and gray.  I haven't seen it so maybe that's a function of the story, but the story in Woman of Tomorrow is heavy and sad and depressing a lot, but there's still plenty of color and wonder.

And I agree that the dialogue in the book wouldn't translate, but it's also mostly voiceover.  A lot would have to be translated to dialogue, but I think a lot of the feel and look of the story could've been preserved.  Maybe it was.  I hope to see it next week.

I like that explanation.  I like the idea of a prequel, but a prequel wouldn't offer any explanation as to where Frank was during Born Again season 2.  And yours covers that.

Another weird continuity thing.  As far as I can remember, Frank has been clean shaven in the four seasons of MCU television.  He's certainly clean shaven at the end of Born Again season 1.  He has a beard in One Last Kill which makes sense because, prequel or sequel to his last appearance, he's really struggling.

But why does he have the beard at the end when he's re-embraced being the Punisher?  Especially since he's clean shaven in Brand New Day.  I know he could've easily shaved in between these products and maybe he just temporarily likes the beard even if he's focused himself again.  But it would've been something to tie the projects together.

All in all, I still think it was great.  I still think it should've been a movie.

The Good - It's really well done.  Gets you in the mind of Frank Castle.  They also don't hold back - they didn't "Disney-fy" the character, and there's some dark material you wouldn't expect from the MCU.

The Bad - It's short.  It's 51 minutes with extended credits (no post or mid credits).  By the time you feel like it's getting going, it's over.  This could've certainly been a theatrical movie with one more act if they wanted.  I also feel like it's super small on plot.  It feels like 75% of a movie with a huge action set piece missing.

The Cinematic Universe - It's crazy.  This story does literally nothing to explain why Frank was missing in Daredevil, does nothing to follow up on what happened in Daredevil, and does nothing to set up Frank in Spider-Man.  There's no reference to Matt or the AVTF or Fisk or anything.  There's one reference to the bigger world (that I caught, maybe there's more) but this is 100% an isolated story.  Which is fine.  I don't think everything needs to be connected to the bigger universe, and I'm glad they told a story (albeit one that feels truncated) that they wanted to tell.

And honestly, I'm more upset about Daredevil avoiding MCU connections than I am the Punisher.  Frank kinda does his own thing and is on a side quest.  But for Frank to be absent from Daredevil entirely and then to show up here with no ties to anything before or after just feels odd.  I really thought they might end this with Frank thinking he went too far and promising his family that he'll tone it down.  So when he shows up in Spider-Man, he's a little more toned down.  But nope.  Not how it ends.

Which is fine.  Maybe Spider-Man explains it.  Or maybe it doesn't.  Or maybe Frank somehow isn't toned down.  It's just a little bizarre to me that you have a character who was literally just absent for the whole season (but still referenced...like "don't forget about this guy, he'll be back soon") and is about to be a part of your big summer movie, and you make no effort to connect those two things.

I get that Berthal wrote this and it's a character piece for Frank.  But you have a short runtime.  You can add ten minutes to this with fan service and it's still only one hour.  Say what Frank was doing during Born Again season 2.  Mention what happened to Fisk and/or the disbanding of the AVTF.  Wherever Frank starts Spider-Man Brand New Day, bridge that gap.

You have this cinematic universe and you have this playground, and then you don't use it.  It just feels super weird to me.  You don't need Sam Wilson to show up and beat up a gangbanger, but I just don't understand why this happens.

Also, on another note.  Jon Berthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach literally just filmed a special presentation for FX with a road trip sidequel of the Bear.  Ebon Moss-Bachrach plays the Thing and is tied in with Marvel.  Ebon Moss-Bachrach played Microchip in season one of the Netflix Punisher.  How did Ebon Moss-Bachrach not cameo in this???

I have been seeing a lot of discourse in the media about Dr. Doom in Doomsday.  They're comparing him to Thanos, and people are saying "the MCU built up Thanos for ten years" but there's been almost no reference to Dr. Doom. 

First off, I agree that it's a bit of a waste.  I don't want to rush Dr. Doom, and I think there was a lot of wasted opportunity with phases four to six.

But I guess my main response is "Thanos was barely in the movies until Infinity War." - he was in a couple of post-credits, and he was in one scene in Guardians.  This wasn't exactly Darth Vader until he finally made his move.  I think one of the strengths of the MCU was creating these heroes and their relationships to each other, and how they end up working together.

And I don't think a villain needs to be set up.  99% of all villains are introduced in the movie they're in.  It doesn't take a ton of work to set up a great villain.  The Joker in the Dark Knight is completely set up in the opening five minutes.  He's in one movie with no other set up, and he's one of the best comic book villains ever.

So did the MCU drop the ball with Kang and maybe rush Dr. Doom?  Absolutely.  But is that necessarily a problem?  I don't think so.

I think one of the issues with the MCU in this regard is the lack of costumed supervillains.  A lot of the villains in the MCU are forgettable, one-off guys who fight the heroes away from the public.  So even if they wear a costume like the heroes, the public may never see that.  In the comics, I believe (and correct me if I'm wrong) that Jameson usually villainizes Spider-Man by saying he's in league with the villains he fights.  Another costumed villain.  So that could distinguish him from the Avengers that operate in the same city.  There really isn't a way for Fisk to claim that because who's he going to say Daredevil is in league with?  All the MCU villains are dead or reformed

I also think there would be some kind of push for Daredevil to register under the Sokovia Accords, but I don't even know if that's still a thing. 

I'm not too upset about any of it, really.  One, because I think season 2 has been good enough that I'm not thinking about it.  And two, because I think this problem in the MCU extends way beyond Daredevil.  I think, since Endgame, the universe has felt fractured.  Some of it wasn't the MCU's fault (Covid and Jonathan Majors are the most to blame) but it's just weird that the universe has felt less connected as they spread things out.  The more characters they have, you'd think there'd be more crossovers, not less.

Yeah, I think I understand the government's perspective, but I guess I'm talking about citizens.  In 99% of the show, Daredevil doesn't interact with normal citizens.  Neither do any of the other main characters.  But in 1% of the show, BB is dealing directly with citizens.

And this is a world where people have been familiar with superheroes for 20+ years.  And outside of the events leading to Civil War, the superheroes of the world have been mostly positive.  The timeline is muddled, but superheroes saved the city of New York very recently.  Now maybe every person in this world can clearly delineate Captain America from Daredevil.  Just like people in our world can clearly delineate "Abolish ICE" from "Defund the Police." 

I think those segments would be a great way for the show to directly show that delineation, but I can also see why the show might not want to muddy the waters or cause issues for, say, Spider-Man Brand New Day.  Although I'll be fascinated to see if anything from Daredevil (other than Frank himself) is referenced in that movie.

Well, I can see how it cost so much.  The Rocky puppet probably wasn't super expensive (I can see why you might not have liked it but I found it charming), but there's some breathtaking CGI stuff.  The Adrian planet was so beautiful that I've heard people insulting the Supergirl movie for looking so boring.  I didn't think it looked like a generic blockbuster like Fast and the Furious or whatever.

One thing I like about Andy Weir is the emphasis on trusting smart people and figuring out solutions to problems that seem impossible.  I think we need that right now so I'm also glad a lot of people are seeing this movie and thinking about those things.

I think that's totally fair.  Not everyone loves everything, and you don't have to like something because other people like it.  I loved it, but I can totally see where there might be leaps of logic to people who haven't read the book.  The story is also a bit samey to The Martian.  I started reading Artemis, Andy Weir's second and less successful book, and it's very different.  So I do feel like he went back to the well with a very capable and sarcastic protagonist.

But I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff.

I saw Project Hail Mary last week, and it's really stuck with me.  Great adaptation of a really great book.  I don't think they could've done a better job adapting it.

What did we think of Starfleet Academy season one?  I think the story was good and the characters were compelling.  I struggled with something that we've struggled a lot with in this era of Trek - going on missions.  I would've probably preferred, that if we were doing a campus that is also a ship, that they were going around doing missions.  And the students were either observers or active participants.

And I don't know what it is about the new century, but I'm struggling to feel comfortable with how things work in this time period.  I know we spent a lot of time in the TNG era, but it felt like we understood where everyone is and who the major players are and all that.  We know that the Federation was fractured.  We know that the Klingons are almost gone.  The Romulans and Vulcans have reunified.  But are things in such disarray in the Federation that everyone's kinda focused on themselves?  So the Cardassians or the Ferengi are out there but also cleaning up their own space?  It just feels like the villains in a lot of these seasons (even like in Picard) are pirates and random small sects that are causing issues.

Oh cool, so Trump and Ellison got to snatch up Warner Bros.  This will be great for everyone.

If I had faith in free and fair elections, this would look terrible for Republicans.  They're basically forced to hope that people don't watch the videos or are willing to be fully lied to.  They're also walking a fine line with their second amendment base by speaking out against people carrying legally in Minnesota.  It'll be interesting if Democrats can find some common ground (that Republicans are forced to take) and can get some gun control stuff passed.  But while the Republicans are being pretty evil, the Democrats have been completely unable to seize the moment.

In fact, polling suggests that Kamala Harris would be the frontrunner to win the 2028 nomination.  As happy as I was to vote for her in 2024, I think it would be a disaster if she were the nominee in 2028.  To me, the only candidate is Newsom because he's been the only one to stand up to Trump and beat him at his own game.  I think they'd have a real chance to pick up some of the apolitical people who voted for Trump.  Those people only care about Trump's "alpha male personality" and that's where Newsom has been hitting Trump.  Since those people don't care about issues, they should have no issue jumping from Trump to Newsom.  But they'd never vote for Harris.

Trump has historically low approval ratings.  The optics for all the stuff he's doing is failing except for his ultraloyal base.  JD Vance keeps embarrassing himself and fighting with MAGA people. The signs are there for this whole house of cards to collapse.  But with full control of the government, I think Trump has a thousand avenues to put his thumb on the scale, and I think he will use at least one of them.

This was sorta how I felt watching it myself.  She was super awkward but Conan was able to salvage it.  They usually do planning for these interviews so I don't know if Kari went off script or if she was just bad at it.

But she certainly came off as bad and unlikeable.  I think she's lucky to have had any sort of career at all.

I thought it was a bit unrealistic that this group of kids was able to cross a wormhole into an alien world and defeat a huge monster and a wizard without anyone even getting hurt.  I think most of the people that went on that final mission were probably unnecessarily in danger, but I think they all earned their hero moment for story's sake.

Dumb, yes.  But I thought it worked.

I know I sound like a broken record here, but I just can't get myself too worked up about this.  Trump won.  The people who voted for Trump are going to have higher costs for goods and healthcare and lower wages and less jobs and the same level of taxes, and they don't care.  The "America First" and "No New Wars" people don't seem to care.  The only person who seems to care is Marjorie Taylor Greene.  I know Trump's approval rating is low, but he has a rock-solid floor that will support him no matter what.  And as long as that floor consistently votes how Trump wants in primaries, no one is going to turn against him.

It's just very depressing.  We're not even a full year into this, and he's got so many more fights he wants to start.  He owns Congress, he owns the courts, he owns the police, he owns the military.  It's Trump's world, and we have to live in it.

So I think Putin won the war in Ukraine as soon as Trump won.  It's painfully obvious that Trump is doing whatever Putin wants, and Trump is so in love with Putin that it's crazy that the media won't call him out on it.  When Trump said that he'd win the war on day one, that's the promise that I figured he'd keep because Trump would do anything, including sending US ground troops to fight alongside Russia, to get Putin the win.

The fact that we're almost a year into Trump's presidency and Zelenskyy is alive is incredible to me.  He's the guy I felt the worst for when Trump won.

So I think it's just a matter of time until a) Trump forces Zelenskyy to take a deal and b) Putin breaks the deal and insists on more land.  Two of the three people in this are negotiating in bad faith, and Zelenskyy is trying to straddle the line between saving his people and saving his country.

One thing I sorta disagreed with in the article is that there haven't really been any consequences.  I think this war has highlighted the idea that Russia is a huge military superpower.  I know invading any country is difficult, but if Russia was as powerful militarily as people thought, this war should've been over years ago.  The only thing propping Putin up is nuclear weapons.  If nuclear weapons suddenly disappeared, I wonder where Russia would even rank in the world in terms of military strength.

I also wonder how much this has set Russia back.  I know that Russia has a collective spirit to fight for Russia, but their supply of soldiers isn't infinite.  250,000 soldiers can't be easily replaced, I wouldn't think.  All the military hardware they've lost will have to be replaced.  Maybe it's no big deal, but I just can't imagine it's not.

I do feel like Trump is losing it.  He called Walz the R word.  He said "affordability is a con job" when people are struggling to afford stuff.  I think he's shedding voters, and I think his mental decline is getting to him.  I also wonder if Trump's alternate reality is starting to get to him.  If he truly believes that the economy is incredible and prices are way down and that his approval rating is 90%+, then it probably would be maddening to get questions about things.

But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter.  The fact that we were right about Trump being old and crazy doesn't matter.  He's president and will be for three more years.  I don't have any faith that anyone would try to usher him out of office, and he could have an approval rating of 0% and it wouldn't matter.  I think it's a foregone conclusion that the Democrats would win the House if we have elections next year (and maybe the Senate based on how terrible elections are going for Republicans - look at the Tennessee election yesterday).  But who cares?  As Grizzlor said, Trump doesn't need Congress to do anything he's trying to do, and the Republican Congress isn't doing anything anyway.

The only thing that would change things is if Trump's monkey heart gives out, but even if it does, Vance being less crazy will maybe lead to slightly more sanity but it won't improve anything.  I'm just not willing to buy into any sort of good news until I believe there will be fair elections, not only in 2026 but in 2028.  I'll still vote, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Trump getting along with Mamdani is so bizarre to me.  Did Mamdani charm him out of his element?  Is Trump up to something?  Is it all theater?

I mean maybe you're right and he wouldn't care if Congress was 100% Democrats so why bother with messing with the midterms.  He got his tax breaks, and he gets to do whatever he wants so who cares about getting anything done?  He shut down Congress and it didn't affect him one bit.

I guess the elections he'd want to cancel are in 2028.  But I still think 2026 could be a dry run.  I just don't feel like there's any reason to be optimistic.  People are putting all their hopes in the Epstein stuff, but it could be released that Trump did the whole operation and that Epstein was a patsy and I don't think it would matter.  Trump said he could shoot someone in broad daylight and not lose any support and he was right.

So we just gotta wait until his monkey heart finally gets clogged with Big Macs for this nightmare to be over.

My optimism is gone still.  I think it will be too easy for Trump to manufacture a situation where there are no midterms.  With the government shutdown and military in major cities, I think he's pushing buttons to try and create a situation where people push back enough for him to declare martial law.  I think the die has already been cast, and I think they're just waiting for the rationale to do it.  And I think if people don't take the bait, he'll just do it anyway.

Other than throwing lavish parties and ruining the White House, Trump has been doing two things:

1. Putting loyalist military into blue cities
2. Complaining about voter fraud

I think he'll use some combination of those two to "delay" the midterms, but like the shutdown, it will just be indefinite.  Or he'll hold bogus elections where Republicans win with 80-90% of the vote.

I hope I'm wrong, but there's a tariff on hope and I can't afford it.

I think Coogler could make anything work.

I think conspiracies are a whole lot less fun post-MAGA because they're completely mainstream instead of being funny and fringey.  But I think you could do a show and instead of aliens maybe you do something with Artificial Intelligence.  Maybe Mulder believes that some kind of AI has started taking over the world, and he has to get to the bottom of things.

Or do aliens.  Aliens are still in the culture and are relevant.

I think if the answer is "Checkmate is in no position to take down Flag" then that should have been acknowledged.  In an episode that was already significantly longer than the normal episode, I think they could have spent two minutes with a scene between Peacemaker, Harcourt, and Adebayo that went over the unlikelihood of a direct assault on ARGUS.  Maybe something as simple as.

PEACEMAKER
Okay, what are we doing about this prison?

HARCOURT
Nothing, for now?

PEACEMAKER
Nothing?

ADEBAYO
They could have hundreds of people moved to that prison by now.  How can we do nothing?

HARCOURT
A week ago, we probably could've caught them by surprise.  But Fleury says they've increased security a hundred-fold.  No one gets in or out unless Flag is present personally.  It's a fortress.

ADEBAYO
We could still...

HARCOURT
We could, but we'd lose people.  I think we have a plan, but we're going to need to be patient.

PEACEMAKER
In the meantime, let's do as much good as we can.

I don't know, something that at least acknowledges that they want to do something but just can't at this point.  Or, like I said before, don't let them find out about the prison.  Maybe Checkmate's first mission is to figure out what Flag is up to.

Either way, I think they're allowed to be excited that they're back together and happy and have a path, but the ending certainly implies that they don't care about the prison.  And they immediately pay for that if that's the case.

I think the season was very good from a character perspective, but I thought the plotting was very odd.  The way that the finale is set up, it felt like the kind of episode where they go and steal back the multiversal device or prevent the prison from being a thing in some other way.  Instead, they...do nothing?  This isn't a situation where the bad guys have a plan, and the good guys don't know about it yet.

They know that Rick Flag is creating a metahuman prison, but they spend a bunch of time and energy creating a new spy organization.  Now maybe their plan is to create Checkmate and then go after Flag, but how many metahumans could they have imprisoned by then?  It seemed like they had a window to go after Flag, and they didn't really take advantage of it.

And I get it's a shared universe and that Gunn is writing basically everything at this point, but it leaves an unsatisfying feeling in the audience when the good guys don't even try to stop the bad guy.  I can understand why the plot wasn't "save Earth X" because I don't think our guys are nearly equipped to do that.  But our team, with Bordeaux and Harcourt and Judomaster and Fleury all as inside guys, against a handful of ARGUS agents?  That's something our team would be pretty good at.  And I would assume they could fairly easily win that if they had made any effort.

And, yeah, they'd basically be back at square one on the run with Flag chasing after them, but at least they would've made an effort.  And if they were going to immediately take down Flag, I don't think they really showed that (unless I missed it) they were even planning on going after the prison.  It played like "oh well, Flag is a bad guy.  Let's start an agency to do some good."

I do think a lot of the character beats were hit, and I thought the whole thing was well done.  And I get that Gunn will work through these plot threads.  But to leave the plot here is super weird.

I would have preferred if the season ended with the good guys knowing nothing of Flag's plan.  Maybe Judomaster/Fleury/Harcourt all abandon ARGUS before Salvation is even found, they create Checkmate, and then Flag reveals his plan to the audience (but none of Peacemaker's team).  Then Peacemaker is sent there.  Then, at least, the good guys don't look like they're simply ignoring the problem.

It also leaves the DCU in a weird place.  I don't really know if any of this will get followed up in Lanterns, but if it gets followed up in Man of Tomorrow...where does it leave that?  Is Man of Tomorrow going to take place in Salvation?  Is Superman going to go up against ARGUS and Lex?  Is Superman going to go rescue Peacemaker?  I love all the Peacemaker characters, but they play in completely different sandboxes.  I'd prefer if they were kept separate.

But I trust Gunn, and I'm still excited to see what he does with all this.

They all look pretty great!

Any word on anything they discussed?
