You're talking about Faye Marsay. I'm talking about the people in the thumbnail.

I would disagree and simply point to the recent films, where Wanda figures heavily in CW. The only focus on a romantic life for the Black Widow has been in Age of Ultron, but she remains an extremely prominent character with or without that angle. Regardless, I am glad Danai and Lupita Nyong'o are getting another chance to work together.

Jenna Coleman is headlining ITV's Victoria, chronicling the life of Queen Victoria, with Tommy Knight and Eve Myles also appearing.

Tell it to Scarlett Johansson! Or Elizabeth Olsen. The Dora Milaje are no joke, either.

Michelle Hurd was wonderful this season on Daredevil. Glad she's in demand. So proud of Laura Harrier (Destiny #2, OLTL 2.0) for Spider-Man: Homecoming. Here she is with the cast at San Diego Comic-Con today:

Danai Gurira has joined Marvel's Black Panther as Okoye, head of the Black Panther's elite female security force, the Dora Milaje. From SDCC:

I'm still not happy Zack Snyder is involved, but I think they're phasing him out and giving control over to comic people, who are currently in the process of rehabilitating the books (with DC Rebirth). That recent effort is the first time I've given a damn about DC in almost ten years. Plus the cast is good, so we'll see. The Wonder Woman trailer, OTOH, looks amazing.

I don't condone how political machines operate. That being said, I know we have to live with them and I know they do both good and bad. Let's not forget the same machine got a lot of great people elected over the years. You don't get good work done with being a little dirty. What tires me out is people on social media acting shocked, shocked! Call me when we have a media monopoly like Rupert Murdoch's printing mass disinformation and polluting the public discourse and consciousness for thirty years, then I'll get upset about some shifty strategy emails from a party in pursuit of long-term goals like gun control and labor rights. Basically, there are far bigger problems. The Republicans had no idea how to deal with Trump. If they had they'd have stopped him sooner.

Uh, that's Natalie Dormer (Margaery) and Carice van Houten (Melisandre). A lot more of the cast (Sophie Turner, Iwan Rheon, Isaac Hempstead Wright, etc.) were also present.

Of course the DNC played favorites and of course the press colluded with political factions. In other news, water is wet. It happens with the right and the conservatives constantly, never more intensely than in the 2000s during the Bush administration. Is it good? No. Is it a fact of life? Yes, insofar as it can be managed. WikiLeaks is run by what can be described as a sketchy character at best, but this leak was actually masterminded by the Russians. Notice their calculated hacks almost always benefit destabilizing the future of the West. Trump is what they want in power.

You also think Don Jr. is the second coming of JFK Jr.

Thanks to alexisfan for spotting this surprise re: Ray Wise's comments:

Nice to see the black community and pro-choice groups in Kaine's home state coming out in droves in support for him online. Meanwhile: The Washington Post editorial board goes all in and calls Trump a threat to democracy which must be stopped.

No, it's a personal and strategic one. She and Kaine are friendly, he's moderate and - it must be said - male and white. That cuts into the squishy middle vote which could be swayed to Trump by bigotry and/or conservative liberalism. It delivers that conventional vote. And he has no drama. It may not be sexy, but it's solid. Obama is also a big fan of Kaine, and that will deliver.

Tim Kaine's a good guy, but not the most electrifying pick. I still would've chosen Castro, who I believe will be president someday. I'm not looking forward to the barrage of thinkpieces about Hillary daring to choose a white guy.

I don't know what the hell's going on in the most wonderful way! Carl will want to watch after the title card.

Don Jr. was creepy

TWD at Comicon:

It is not going to be that close. I heard this same thing four years ago and Romney was trounced. It is an absolutely hellish year but Trump isn't a fraction as viable as Romney was.

Trump's post-speech email was also sent out early.

A Republican source leaked Trump's prepared speech to the Clinton camp, who immediately began fact-checking and disseminating it hours before his address tonight. Here it is.

He didn't and it wasn't. No chance in hell and nobody believes that.

Heidi Cruz was rushed from the convention floor for her own safety.
