We stan our underappreciated protagonists.

the thing about the mummy movies is that you really spend most of the time thinking "wow brendan fraser's character is so cool" or "man oded fehr is so mysterious and heroic" when the fact of the matter is that these two

are the absolute most batshit insane heroes in the entire franchise

these two are intellectual loner siblings with archeology backgrounds who read and speak ancient egyptian, hire a dude directly out of prison to take them to a lost city of gold, and fight mummies literally with their bare hands. twice.

no one in these movies stands a chance against the carnahans. frankly they're lethal in how willing they are to make the absolute and most undeniably deranged decisions. jonathan pickpockets a dude on fire. evy's resurrected from the dead and immediately remembers how to use sai. they're racking shotguns from a cliff in this scene and then proceed to blow away half the antagonists.

rick and ardeth should be so lucky

There's a few different answers over time, but mostly before he had the cape pouch thing, he stashed it. There's a comic where he puts it under a cement walk that he's the only one who can retrieve:

I've never thought about it before, but yeah, where does Clark put things like his phone and wallet when he unexpectedly has to be Superman? Sure, classic Superman didn't have a phone to worry about, but he presumably had a wallet.

Also, Clark's glasses, and the suit itself. Did he have an infinite supply? Did he just leave them places? Did he go back to phone booths later? Did he track down anyone who dared run off with his things?

If viral advertisers are looking for something new to latch onto, I think I have something special in my cellar..

Found a book that summarizes literature and literary figures in text form, and the Byron one might be the best thing to ever happen.

leverage redemption episode where for reasons the crew needs to go undercover at a star trek convention.

eliot obviously goes as a klingon. hes in the full makeup and get up he pretends he hates this. he of course ends up making friends with other klingon cosplayers and is at some point invited to a regular cosplay meetup by them. there is also an egregious fight scene where he uses a batleth to take down like 8 people also in full cosplay. it is awesome.

i think breanna would maybe go as b'elanna. maybe im just projecting a lil but i could really see her loving the complicated smart woman of colour and i just think she'd really love the lady engineer esp as a young woman in stem and with her love of tech and computers. and shed certainly be the right age for voyager to have been something she watched when she was younger (perhaps with hardison as a way for him to bond with his new foster sister <3)

parker isnt in full cosplay for practical reasons. however not wanting to miss out on the fun her regular thief garb is accompanied by vulcan ears and she spends the entire episode speaking a monotone vulcan impression. this annoys eliot IMMENSELY.

sophie is reluctant to dress up in a cosplay. she thinks its tacky and would hinder her performance to be in such an outfit. then hardison shows her a picture of lwaxana troi and she is SOLD. she easily has the single most elaborate cosplay of the group. she is constantly being swarmed by congoers who want her photo.

hardison is in the van mostly this episode (much to his dismay as the groups resident main trekkie) but he makes use of this to cycle through about 5 different cosplays (notably riker, kirk and sisko are in the mix) whenever the camera cuts to him hes dressed as someone new. he ends up coming into the building towards the end of the con just in time to witness eliots big batleth fight and make some extremely delighted jabs at him.

harry misread the email and shows up in a full chewbacca cosplay suit. hardison is like "absolutely not" and makes him go change. so hes in his regular old suit for the entire con. he looks incredibly out of place.

bonus if tara is also there this episode and she goes as seven of nine. theres an obvious joke made about how she looks "so much like the actress who plays seven" and shes like "idk i just dont see it personally :/"

Look, nobody is saying it's in great shape, but if you took a seat belt out of a Honda civic, it would still be a Honda Civic. If you took an entire seat out of a Civic, it would still be a Civic. If you even removed the engine block, it would still be a Civic, albeit one that does not run.

This is a Civic that does not run, and which could use some extensive body work.

Also, don't sneeze.

I will be 70 years old and I still will never have gotten over the time the Mythbusters used a rocket powered steel wall to - and I use this word as literally as possible - vaporize an entire car into red mist

Four retirees spend their time solving cold case murders for fun, but their casual sleuthing takes a thrilling turn when they find themselves with a real whodunit on their hands.

Or making smash burgers. Honestly, if I want to know about 'is this someone I can get along with in a platonic way', 'could you survive working in a kitchen with this person' is not a bad question. It doesn't tell the whole story, but the story it tells is extensive.

Being asexual while playing smash or pass is so fun bcuz I just be lying

Lakes and graveyards are very similar in that if you detonate a large explosion inside either one a lot of dead bodies come to the surface.

Acknowledging that good governance is a skill also hits at the core of every businessman who claims their abilities are inherently fungible to political leadership. Administration and politics are their own skill categories.
