Which Legionnaire Are You?

(Tony Collett brought this one to my attention.) Not being strongly versed in Legion history and lore, I wasn't sure what to expect...

Here's my result:

You're Rokk Krinn, Cosmic Boy!

Well, I wound up being a Legionnaire I've never heard of, which is fair, since most of the stuff they asked me about in the quiz I'd never heard of, either. So this poll sucks. Now, when someone wants to come up with a "Which Silver Age Legionnaire Are You" poll, I'm all over that.

Given a choice between being a Silver Age Avenger, a member of the Silver Age Fantastic Four, or a Silver Age Legionnaire... I don't know. Being an Avenger would probably edge out the others... but Legionnaires get flight rings, which are pretty cool, plus, you know, there's always the chance of meeting a cool girl who can split herself into three identical bodies while on a mission to Korrgu, or something.

But what the Legion has turned into, with all their cutesy-retarded evocative names and big manga-ie eyes and maybe they're clones this week, maybe they aren't, just aggravates me no end, and the idea of belonging to a Legion where I wouldn't get to call myself something that ended in 'Boy' or 'Kid' or 'Lad' or 'King' or something equally dopey but fun is simply baffling.

Still, it's funny that you ended up being Cosmic Boy, and I appreciate you letting us see the poll.

I had no idea what era(s) of Legion history they were drawing from, and whether or not it was tied strongly or exclusively to the current run. As with any of these character quizzes it was clear that the answers were steering towards particular characters, but not knowing who likes who, whose mother holds high politcal office, who's in the Legion for what reasons, I just answered as honestly as I could based on what I knew. The toughest part was probably figuring out who I would want to hang out with.

(TV/streaming video) New & Leftover Items, a Touch of 2024, and some Nostalgic Forensics

    So much else calling out for attention, and with watchables already piled up, finding even more things to watch doesn't seem like much of a sane prospect. I'm not even fishing around for new things at the moment, as I need to get some other things done and make some attempt to round out my life a little.       This week on Paramount+, the fourth season of the animated Star Trek: Lower Decks came to a satisfying end. A manic pace of in-universe nods continues to give it the Star Trekiest of Trek feels with the casual, plot-essential trivia drawn from decades of Star Trek shows, woven throughout.       Also there, the contemporary Frasier series' first season hits its halfway point with episode five. I'm enjoying it, but it continues to walk a wobbly line as some of it works smoothly while other moments reek of formula, with some of each overlapping. I'd be very interested in seeing how well or not this new series works on its own for someone who'd never wat

Catching Up with Old Friends (Streaming media series)

   I haven't done any blogging posts on current and streaming media since November 3rd, which broke a streak of weekly ones that had been going since September of 2019 - albeit as part of a different, group, blog. As with many such inactions, it wasn't intended as a formal stoppage, just a momentary delay, but here it is five weeks later. This post's linking theme is the return of fondly-remembered characters. It really should include the recent arrival to streaming of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny over on Disney+, but I haven't really mustered my reactions to that. Instead, I'll stick with two other nostalgic items that arrived this week.       Yesterday saw the arrival of the season finale, episode ten, of Kelsey Grammar's return of Frasier Crane in the 2023 iteration of Frasier , over on Paramount+.      The series picked up on the titular character in the present, whom we haven't seen since his 11-season first series wrapped in mid-May

Oct.13-19 - More Returns and Changes

      Even though I've already watched the pair of debut episodes of Frasier (see next paragraph), and this week's Star Trek: Lower Decks (which continues to do a stellar job of mining  previous Trek series for character, episode and extraterrestrial culture lore and deftly applying them at breakneck speeds), I still have multiple things I'm looking forward to catching up on, including new eps of Gen V (Amazon Prime), Loki (Disney+), and both Archer and Welcome to Wrexham (both on Hulu), along with the first two episodes of a final six for Doom Patrol over on Max... and that's just off the top of my head, so getting this week's streaming post out of the way brings those one step closer for me.       I've watched the two episodes of the new Frasier series that arrived on Paramount+ this week, and while it was a mixed bag it was good to see the character back, with him attempting to move into his third act by returning to Boston, where we first met the ch
