Much like "Darth Old Spice", we may end up with a breakout character who becomes better known by the names that fans give him than any that are actually used in universe. Of course, in both cases the characters have multiple aliases and have reasons to not be entirely truthful....

Wookieepedia declares that this is non-canon even to the Legends continuity (what was called "Infinities" back in the 2000s, though when this came out at the close of 1980 we had no category for this). As Sad a Bastard as I can be, I don't feel that such is really the point today.

And look who popped over to celebrate today!

Although I've used this image before, Dec. 25th 2024 actually makes it a perfect fit to deploy today!

Another holiday visit, from a different visual novel. Tec may want to use a virtual fireplace.

Via Querxes' Tube of You channel, another wholesome winter image. (Complete with Festivus pole?)

There's been enough written -- and enough not written -- about the Wayne family that DC could have a story if they wanted to. How did Thomas contract the services of a former British soldier of such professionalism (gentlemanly and otherwise)? Did he know about the Court of Owls? Was his death...

So, today I was reminded that the old Collector's Club, as it was wrapping up, created an alternate scheme, albeit one that is derived from the better-known system and whose compression arguably would create even more confusion. But I include it anyway. The scheme, as I understand it, goes as...

Just... well, MED knows.

Or more properly, "Non." 😉

There is still time, though. Get your shots topped up while you can, get documents In order and make copies, set aside PPE. Lay in stores of rice, dry pulses, and preserved fruits and vegetables -- the last will be hit hard by agricultural disruptions. (Frozen is best for vegetables, canned...

Turns out, all they want for the holidays is....

Oh no, and Corey's Datapad is one Tube of You Channel that's very very honest about the lore it re-encapsulates for us. And while Sue Rostoni and to a lesser-extent-as-time-went-on George Himself were signing off on things (which is why Zahn's Noghri were not the Sith species as he originally...

The "sad" reaction on the previous page was a recognition that transmedia franchises are not easy to manage (despite what Di$ney thinks). Indeed, I don't think anyone really gave the notion serious thought until the 2000s -- and there isn't a single approach now, if one looks at the major ones...

Weirdly enough, William Gibson's second-draft Alien 3 script (which he suspects the producers intended to "high-grade" for cyberpunk trappings) works a bit better than it might have if we accept the Prometheus origin. At script's end, Bishop describes the xenomorph genetic structure as...

A Cinnamon bun in winter.

Neither are the Chevin, strictly speaking, and one of their characters in the Classic Trilogy was even named "Ephant Mon"! 😄 Anyway, I noticed that Disney has, in ancillary media, tried very hard to canonize the original prototype Ortolan design -- the one that wasn't actually used in Return of...
