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.

Insurance Company-Driven Propaganda Storm It's almost heartening to see them go to these lengths - they're getting a little scared - though I worry how many wingnut media outlets will reference the report as if it's substantive..? ( From the Washington Post ) The Insurance Industry's Deceptive Report by Ezra Klein In the hallowed tradition of the tobacco and energy industries, the health insurance industry has commissioned a report (pdf) projecting doom and despair for those who seek to reform its business practices. The report was farmed out to the consultancy PricewaterhouseCoopers, which has something of a history with this sort of thing: In the early-'90s, the tobacco industry commissioned PWC to estimate the economic devastation that would result from a tax on tobacco. The report was later analyzed by the Arthur Andersen Economic Consulting group, which concluded that "the cumulative effect of PW’s methods … is to produce patently unreliable results.&qu

The Tease of Things I Don't Need

     The lure of things we don't need, could easily find greater needs to apply the cash to, and which we may not even have the space for, is a very First(ish) World Problem, to be sure.        HasLabs is a special projects division of Hasbro, that occasionally pitches large and/or elaborate items - oversized figures and/or vehicles - essentially crowdfunding each project. They set the price, and a funding line - the number of people who need to pledge to buy one (or more -- up to five) at the announced price, then collect the names and information of interested parties for a period of 45 days. Once the number of pledged buys hits the target, the project is greenlit.      A couple years ago there was a HasLabs special build project aiming to fund a production run for an oversized (32" tall), elaborately-articulated action figure of Marvel comics' Devourer of Worlds: Galactus. Back on July 18, 2021 I posted a piece on the project, which at the time was just two days

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
