Different Worlds 35 (July/August, 1984). Man, I absolutely adore this cover. Back in ‘93, I went to NecronomiCon in Danvers and the handful of vendors tables had a feast of Call of Cthulhu and Lovecraft STUFF I had never laid eyes on before, never knew existed. Being 15, I had limited funds and used them to get one big cool thing (the Spawn of Azathoth box set, which Keith Herber then dutifully signed) and as many small things I could afford (a big old pile of third party stuff like Lurking Fears and Pursuit to Kadath and so on — it’s funny how I can tell you pretty much everything I bought that weekend). This issue of Different Worlds was juuuuuust out of budget, and left behind mostly because it was a magazine not entirely dedicated to Call of Cthulhu. But that cover! It’s so good. It’s another banger by Steve Purcell, and the start of a run of four covers that is pretty amazing.

The cast of Only Murders in the Building

Forget who killed Tim Kono (Julian Cihi), the biggest twist in Hulu's murder mystery comedy was the criminally delightful chemistry between veteran comedic partners Martin Short and Steve Martin and their unexpected third amigo, Selena Gomez. Surrounded by game supporting suspects like Amy Ryan and Nathan Lane, the big three are so good together as aspiring podcast sleuths, Charles-Haden Savage, Oliver Putnam, and Mabel Mora, that they might have even been able to make Splash! The Musical work. —Derek Lawrence

The cast of Ted Lasso

Jason Sudeikis' mustache-wearing, whistle-blowing Kansas transplant would be the first person to remind us that a team is only as strong as its weakest link. Fortunately for Ted Lasso, every single actor on the roster delivered a pitch-perfect performance in season 2, from Hannah Waddingham's steely Rebecca and Toheeb Jimoh's idealistic Sam, to the gut-wrenching slow-build of Nate's villain arc (executed masterfully by Nick Mohammed). Plus, we have to give a special shoutout to the swoon-worthy romance between Juno Temple's bubbly Keeley and Brett Goldstein's growling Roy Kent. (Hell, Goldstein's eyebrows almost deserve a "best performance" nod of their own.) And we haven't even mentioned standouts like Cristo Fernández as the endlessly energetic Dani Rojas, or James Lance as the silver-haired Trent Crimm (The Independent)! This is one team that's worth believing in. —D.C.

~~~~~~~~~~

Kathryn Hahn, WandaVision

The superhero genre is littered with forgettable, power-hungry villains — which is part of what makes Kathryn Hahn's WandaVision performance such a revelation. As nosy neighbor Agatha Harkness (a.k.a. Agnes), Hahn hits the perfect balance of comedic camp and malice, whether she's peeping over white-picket fences or belting out Grammy-nominated earworm "Agatha All Along." It's no wonder that she's getting her own Disney+ spin-off series. —D.C.

~~~~~~~~~~

Katja Herbers, Evil

The Devil works hard, but Katja Herbers worked even harder in the spooky Paramount+ thriller's second season as she explored the many ways Kristen's guilt over killing a man manifested itself  — from committing adultery to beating up a man in a grocery store for cutting in line and her dramatic confession to the police. The entire time she kept the audience wondering if she was actually possessed or dealing with a psychological issue. On top of that, Herbers also showed off her physical comedy chops in the show's excellent silent episode. That being said, Kristen's harrowing and full body breakdown in the finale was her best scene of the season, especially because of how convincingly she went from crying to making out with David in the wake of her confession. —Chancellor Agard

~~~~~~~~~~

Bowen Yang, Saturday Night Live

Bowen Yang has been a standout on Saturday Night Live since his freshman season, but 2021 felt like SNL was fully in its Bowen Era. The first Chinese American cast member and the first out gay man to survive beyond one season, Yang made history again as the first featured player to score an Emmy nomination. He was a highlight in sketches alongside even his most seasoned castmates, but really stole the show during stints on Weekend Update with a powerful — yet howlingly funny — commentary on the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes, a Fran Lebowitz impression that even the humorist was compelled to weigh in on, and a takedown of twink Willy Wonka by a proud gay Oompa Loompa, but it was his instant classic Iceberg That Sank the Titanic character, who just wanted to promote his album called simply Music, that melted away any doubt that Yang is the show's MVP. —Jillian Sederholm

[postguiltypleasures]

Shortly after I did my last update I saw Aasif Mandvi had given an interview to Saloni Gajjar at The AV Club. I felt exhausted by that update and decided to put off reading it and continuing updating this until after the season finale. So I didn’t even read this until the day after watching the finale, “C is for Cannibalism”, and found it a little jarring read this interview which is largely in response to an earlier episode, “B is for Brain”. Mandvi’s character didn’t have much to do, and this highlighted how disappointing that aspect was. They discuss bringing more of Ben’s history into the story, as well as more aspects of South Asian culture. There is discussion of his career, and how his long run on The Daily Show (definitely where I first noticed him) affects perceptions of his career. It’s a good interview.

At Salon around the same time Mandvi was interviewed by a friend of his, Dean Obeidallah. This interview focuses on an earlier episode, “F is for Fire” as it introduces the concept of the Djinn and Muslim exorcism. There is a lot of discussion of bringing more aspects of south Asian culture to American television. They get into some personal talk about their respective mothers, praise the child actors on the show, and the appeal of Trump.

I really only noted three reviews of the finale, two of which are recaps. The first was at Vulture written by Maggie Fremont, the regular recapper. It has the kind of conversational tone that I don’t like about recaps. It just rubs me the wrong way. It makes me feel like I am not going to get to the point. But as it was a couple of weeks since I saw it, so this refreshed things for me, including strange bits that the show didn’t spend much time on. Also, I liked that it gave me confirmation about how discomforting Sister Andrea was i the finale after liking her most of the season. The second was at TVLine and written by Kimberly Roots. It is also very interested in how fans debate, especially about David’s ordination. This one doesn’t express ambivalence over Sister Andrea’s speeches in the episode, so I really don’t know how a lone I am in

Finally, Steve Greene at Indie Wire wrote a post season review of the whole thing. This is more my preferred style of writing, it covers the shows tweaking of formulas, and how them aim three characters are all undermined by what they value. It doesn’t discuss the supporting characters and how their lives are less ambiguously defined by a variety of lore, or maybe it’s that their lore doesn’t seem to be interrupted by ambiguity. This is the part of the show I’m most nervous about going forward, where I’m most worried about being lost.

After the finale, the Kings and Katie Herbers did an interview at TVLine, also written by Kimberly Roots. This gets right into the cliffhanger of a kiss. At one point Robert King says, “Almost everything with the demonic side of the script is a bad parody of the Catholic side of the script.” That’s interesting to think about.

After the finale aired I found some interviews with Michael Emerson. The first I read was at Inverse (a site I had previously never heard of and written by Rafael Motamayor. Emerson spoke of how he prefers to act without knowledge of the over all story arc. He also mentions how this leads to realizations about when playing as if something is boring can make it scary for the audience. At The AV Club Saloni Gajjar interviewed Emerson. Emerson mentions that he hopes to have more scenes with Ben in the up coming seasons. He sees Leland and Ben as potentially dangerous dueling jokesters. Gajjar leads the discussion into comparing Emerson’s Evil and Lost characters, and his take is interesting. Finally at, TV Tango (another site I don’t go to regularly) Emerson was interview by Maj Canto and Jamie Ruby. It covers a lot of the same ground that the previous interviews did, plus speculation on what Leland fears and what it was like to film the literal blood bath. This one came out pre-finale, so there are not spoilers there.

Finally, there is an interview Christie Lahti gave to Kimberly Roots at TVLine. She also doesn’t know where her character is going, but is excited about the possibilities. She discusses what how some things are empowering and others are blacked out, with emphasis on how scary the latter are. She also talks about the Eddie dolls and what they might mean for her.

EVIL articles

Considering that when I first saw an advertisement for it my reaction was “why now? Who asked for this?” it’s a little surprising that Evil is my favorite new show. As the advertisement first impression was of a version of The X-Files for our time where the skeptic and believer are divided over religion (specifically Catholicism) instead of alien abductions et al. (Yes, I watched enough of TXF to know that when it came to Catholicism, the skeptic/believer dynamic got flipped. No I don’t think that is relevant in discussing Evil.) I became interested when I realized that it was created by Robert and Michelle King, who created The Good Wife and its spin off The Good Fight.

Now that it’s aired eleven episodes I feel comfortable creating an analogy: Evil is to TXF as TGW/F franchise is to the Law and Order franchise. For starters both of the King’s series care about their protagonists’s domestic lives in ways that the earlier series’s just don’t. Another thing that is interesting about the comparison between the two shows that while TXF always implicitly agreed with the believer, Evil tends to find non demonic/supernatural explanations for most things, but always tends to make it more disturbing because of that. In that way it’s more like the argument from the original Twin Peaks after the reveal that Laura Palmer was murdered by her father Leland, after years of sexual abuse, but he may have been possessed by the demon Bob. But then the characters hate ask themselves which is more disturbing, if Leland did all that because he was possessed, or just being abusive? Evil seems to leave that question the answer to most of its mysteries.

The initial reviews were based on the first three episodes. I’m linking to their Metacritic page, but I don’t remember any standing out by being particularly insightful.

Over at Vox, Emily VanDerWerff chose to write about the fifth episode, the Halloween one, as the episode of television of the week. As I mentioned elsewhere, VanDerWerff co-wrote a book about TXF, so naturally she included a comparison to the earlier show, going to say that Evil is like if every episode of TXF was written by Darin Morgan. I feel a little weird about that analogy. On the one hand the both have a frequency of throwing on screen things where whether or not you find it scary or funny says something about you. But on the other hand several years ago I decided to revisit TXF but only watching Morgan’s episodes and one of the impressions I got was that they probably work better if the more average formula of an episode was fresher in you mind than it was for me.

VanDerWerff has also written about how the majority of CBS (the network that airs Evil) are TXF most successful knock offs. Evil is something of a break from the majority of CBS standbys, and I’d also kind of like to read about it more as a break from that.

While I mentioned choosing to watch the show because of the Kings, I was pleasantly surprised to see that one of the Executive Producers/writers is Rockne S. O’Bannon, creator of the cult science fiction shows Farscape, Defiance and the short live Constantine tv show! I’m much more excited about figuring out how this fits into his oeuvre than a hypothetical Darin Morgan run TXF.

Emily Nussbaum wrote about the show in a column The New Yorker about the appeal of the network procedural. (She later put the show on her annual review, shortly before announcing that she’s leaving TNY.) I agree with the thesis and do think that the episodic structure has been underrated as an art form for too long. Nussbaum also mentions the show’s mythology being less in depth than some recent films, though I have to say, this far I like the show because its mythology is vague. When I saw the ads I worried it would do one of my least favorite kinds of supernatural procedurals, the kind that chooses Biblical literalism as its mythology. Biblical literalism is a big reason that I couldn’t get into Sleepy Hollow. I was greatly relieved when Fringe dropped its flirtation with Biblical literalism early in the second season. I completely expect that the mythology, especially surrounding what Leland Townsend is doing and who he could be, (my IRL friend who watches the shows thinks he’s The Devil). But I’m still hoping that the show sticks with “the answer” of “which possibility is more disturbing” as a guiding principle.

Finally I’m going to highlight a list from TVLine that named protagonist Kristen Brouchard’s daughters some of the “Scene Stealers of the Year”. Kristen’s daughters, whose names all start with the letter “L” and seem pretty close in age, are somewhat surprisingly more liked by critics than online commentators. I get feeling like kids are an annoying distraction. There are four of them and other than, Laura having a possibly fatal heart condition, nine really stand out as individuals. But, partially because of Laura’s condition, I’ve also gotten the feeling that they are doomed, and I really don’t want them to be! (While making TGW the King’s considered killing off one of Alicia’s children, but as the actor Josh Charles wanted to leave the show, they killed off his character instead. Also did you see the fourth episode?) I’m also interested in how already having children affects her story. Most of the time on these kinds of supernatural/science fiction procedurals with a female lead character her fertility and ability to start a family are a point of tension. On TXF, Scully’s ovum were stolen when she was abducted. Alias briefly knocked off this plot in its better off forgotten third season. Fringe found it focus with inter generational trauma, including a couple of characters starting the next generation. iZombie used Liv’s zombie to question what kind of future she could build, etc. Evil starting out with the young leading lady move the question from “will she ever find happiness and children?” to “does the traditional family unit actually work?” And it’s pretty clear that no one is fulfilled by this, especially Kristen’s mother who clearly wants to be the fun grandmother, but has much more responsibility for the girls than she’s actually interested in. Kristen and her husband’s actual passion, mountain climbing, is incompatible with raising kids, and the fact that her husband gets to do it professionally and is away for months at a time adds this, and probably contributes to Kristen lusting after her new colleague, David Acosta. (As a priest in training, whether or not he will ever have children or find romantic satisfaction is much more David’s story, and I’m here for the gender reversal.)

6, 9, 18, 21, 41, and 48 for whoever you’re feeling right now? 😘 because I honestly love hearing about them all

Thank you! 😘 I've been in a major SOMA mood lately so I'll probably answer for Harley and why not my MCU oc Lily? i just finished watching The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (I know I’m late finishing it) and it made me miss her 😅

6: What do they look like? (i.e, hair color, eye color, etc).

Harley - She has red, wavy hair that goes down to middle of her back, blue eyes and freckles that cover most of her face and chest. She also has a small scar on her hairline from when she was working on her bike. 

Lily - She has light brown hair that goes down to her tail bone, and green eyes. 

8: What makes them, them?

Harley - Her upbeat attitude. For the most part she’s always in a good and positive mood. Which came in handy while living underwater. 

Lily - Her caring nature. She has a big heart and is always there for people who need her. 

18: Who do they look up to the most/are the closest to in their family?

Harley - She was very close to both of her parents, being an only child she got spoiled. Not in a bad way, her parents were just loving and wanted to be there for her. 

Lily - Before Thanos destroyed her home she was close with her mother. They did a lot together and was supportive of her fighting even if it frightened her. After Thanos, she was close with her kids because they were the only thing she has left that made her truly happy. 

21: Best Friend(s)?

Harley - Johan Ross, Sarah Lindwall and Raleigh Herber. 

Lily - Carl Danvers, Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff. 

41: Are they dating anyone? Do they want to date? Are the married? Divorced?

Harley - She was dating Johan Ross, but now they’re both dead. I like to think they’re happy on the Ark. 

Lily - She was married to Thanos until Thor killed him (which she secretly thanked him for ‘cause she was now free). After his death and the blip she wasn’t sure if she wanted to date, she had Lotus (her youngest daughter) who lost legit all of her family and she was still very young. Lily just wanted her to settle into living on a new planet. However she does end up with Bucky some odd years in the future. 

48: What do they do when they get angry, stressed, or upset?

Harley - She’ll close herself off in her room to calm down. Maybe listen to some music to help ease her mood. There’s not much she can do underwater, if she was on land she would grab her bike and go for a long ride. 

Lily - When she was on the Sanctuary II she would spend time with her daughter because she was the only one to help ease her mood. Dealing with Thanos wasn’t always easy. When she’s with the Avengers she usually goes for a walk, fresh air helps ease her mood or she’ll take Lotus to the park.

Man, Trail of Tsathogghua (1984) has the best cover art of early Call of Cthulhu books, hands down. Eisner award winning creator Steve Purcell is the culprit and I quite like his interiors too. You might know Purcell as the creator of Sam & Max, or his cover art for the Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island games. This material has quite a different tone, I think.

Keith Herber wrote the book, which consists of two linked Tsathagghua scenarios and a stand alone. The first is an archaeological expedition to Greenland seeking the truth behind the disappearance of the first Viking settlements in the region. It is fairly straight forward scenario that culminates in the ancient temple depicted on the cover.  

The second one…well, the second one involves sasquatch. And is dumb. And that is all I will say about that.

The standalone, “The Haunted House,” is a damn classic though. It is, as you might guess, a classic haunted house scenario and the twist at its heart is so good. It is also maybe the Call of Cthulhu investigation with the most difficult to unearth solution. I expect a good number of players have given up without solving it. And it is in this scenario you can see Herber’s future brilliance the clearest.

Mislintat vor dem Abschied beim BVB Bayern München wollte ihn - und holte sich einen Korb ab. Dem Hamburger SV oder Fortuna Düsseldorf erging es ähnlich. Nun wirbt der FC Arsenal um Dortmunds "Diamantenauge" Sven Mislintat. Und allem Anschein nach mit großer Aussicht auf Erfolg. Nach einem Bericht des Portals "ESPN FC" verhandelt der 13-malige Meister und Pokalsieger Englands mit Mislintat. Der kicker erfuhr aus gut unterrichteten Kreisen, dass die Gespräche weit vorangeschritten sein sollen. Mislintat arbeitet seit 2007 für die Westfalen und war maßgeblich an der Realisierung verschiedener Schlüsseltransfers (zum Beispiel Shinji Kagawa, Raphael Guerreiro oder zuletzt Ousmane Dembelé) beteiligt. Seit 2016 zeichnet der 44-Jährige als "Leiter Profifußball" bei den Westfalen verantwortlich, vorher machte er sich als Chefscout einen sehr guten Namen. Sein Vertrag in Dortmund gilt noch bis 2021. Eine Bestätigung des anstehenden Wechsels erfolgte bisher nicht. Mislintat war für eine Stellungnahme nicht zu erreichen, von Vereinsseite gab es dazu keinen Kommentar.

Kicker.de 15.11.17 Das wäre ein sehr herber Verlust....

Originalartikel: espnfc.com :

Borussia Dortmund's highly respected chief scout Sven Mislintat is in the frame to take over the same role at Arsenal, sources have told ESPN FC.

Mislintat has been credited with a number of Dortmund's most successful signings in recent years, including Robert Lewandowski, Shinji Kagawa, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ousmane Dembele.

Bayern Munich ended an attempt to hire Mislintat as their new technical director in August, but sources say Arsenal are in talks to appoint him as their chief scout.

Steve Rowley, who has held that job at Arsenal since Arsene Wenger took over as manager in 1996, is reportedly close to leaving amid a backroom shakeup to modernise the club's transfer dealings.

Neither Dortmund nor Arsenal would comment on Mislintat, though a source close to the North London club told ESPN FC that nothing has been finalised in regards to Rowley's future.

Hiring Mislintat would be the biggest sign yet that Arsenal CEO Ivan Gazidis is serious about making big changes behind the scenes, as he promised after Wenger was handed a new two-year contract in the summer.

Plans to appoint a director of football appear to be on hold after Wenger publicly baulked at the idea, while chief transfer negotiator Dick Law has yet to be replaced after stepping down in September.

Mislintat has become one of the most sought-after talent spotters in Europe after helping identify and recruit a long list of young stars to Dortmund since joining the club in 2007.

He enjoys a very close relationship with Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc, but had a highly publicised falling out with former coach Thomas Tuchel in 2016 after a January move for Atletico Madrid midfielder Oliver Torres collapsed.

Weekend Reading for Financial Planners (July 14-15)

Enjoy the current installment of “weekend reading for financial planners” – this week’s edition kicks off with the news that the SEC is getting more aggressive in enforcing against advisors who violate the no-testimonials rule through social media platforms, as while previous SEC guidance has noted that there’s nothing wrong with third-party social media websites that reference an advisor (from tweets about the firm, to having a Yelp page with reviews), the SEC did fine 3 advisors $10,000 each for hiring a third-party firm that solicited their clients to leave (positive) testimonials/reviews on the advisory firm’s Yelp page. And also in the news this week is the decision of the SEC to move forward with a so-called “ETF Rule” proposal that would drastically streamline the time and cost it takes for asset managers to launch new ETFs.

From there, we have a number of insurance-related articles this week, from a look at the looming rise of no-load insurance policies (driven both by regulatory shifts away from commissions and towards fiduciary fees, and also the success of early no-load variable annuity products in the RIA channel), to a discussion of whether consumers (and advisors) are now overweighting the risk of future LTC insurance premium increases, and a discussion about whether advisors should start recommending various types of “concierge medicine” and “direct primary care” (DPC) health care solutions for clients in lieu of (or in addition to) traditional health insurance.

We also have several practice management articles, all focused around building teams and retaining team talent, including: an overview of Angie Herbers’ “Diamond Teams” approach to developing advisor talent; tips to building deeper and stronger teams in your advisory firm; how to apply educational and instructional design principles to train and develop your team members more effectively; and a look at how to better retain female advisors in particular (as the number of female advisors has remained stubbornly ‘stuck’ and not rising for more than a decade, despite a significant rise in efforts to recruit women into the industry).

We wrap up with three interesting articles, all around the theme of entrepreneurship and starting your own advisory firm (or not): the first explores the challenge in larger advisory firms of finding next generation (G2) entrepreneurs to lead the business, which author and practice management consultant Philip Palaveev suggests may be less a lack of entrepreneurial talent and more a tendency of advisory firms to not take the steps and opportunities to develop the entrepreneurial talent they have; the second explores a research study that found, despite the stereotype of the 20-something uber-successful tech entrepreneur (e.g., a young Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, or Mark Zuckerberg), that the average age of an entrepreneur is actually 42, and the most successful entrepreneurs averaged age 45 when they founded their firms; and the last similarly looks at another research study finding that the odds of a startup business still being around in 5 years increases a whopping 500% when the founder is over the age of 35, and increases by 85% if the founder has at least 3 years of experience first… suggesting that in reality, the best path to starting a successful advisory firm with clients might never have been finding the “right” 20-something entrepreneurial advisor, but instead requiring all advisors to first get their 3 years of experience, complete their CFP certification, and consider waiting as long as 10-15 years into their career before actually going out to start their own advisory firm from scratch in order to increase the odds of long-term success.

Enjoy the “light” reading!
