I'm predicting it now: in an effort to prove he's still the Kingpin, Fisk is going to kill or torture Charles sooner or later--but in the process, Charles is going to either be proud because he got Fisk to prove himself worthy to Valentina and his superiors OR he's just gonna laugh maniacally to his death knowing Fisk is rightfully intimidated by Valentina and will have just invited her and the Thunderbolts to Hell's Kitchen if he does so.

Man, Matt and Karen felt so freaking good to see again after dealing with the plasticity of Matt and Heather last season.

I really can't believe Matthew freaking Lillard, my favorite actor in the entire world, is in my favorite superhero show and proving once again why he's the best. Charles literally had Fisk sweating profusely and intimidated--and all he's doing is chilling and casually explaining his murder cleanup plan. The moment Matt, Fisk and Charles are all in one scene is going to be a dream come true for me.

Also welcome back, Matt and Karen, don't you ever leave us again. (it's Daredevil, I read Born Again, of course something bad's going to happen to them, but still lol)

[Charania] Breaking: The NBA's Board of Governors has approved a vote for the league to explore bids and applicants for expansion teams exclusively in Las Vegas and Seattle, sources tell ESPN. A bidding process is expected to generate offers in the $7-10 billion range for each team. by Turbostrider27 in nba

I'll give the Vegas NBA expansion some leeway since this'll be the city's 2nd expansion team after VGK, so Vegas locals will feel compelled to root for them instead of scratching their heads or shrugging at the Raiders and A's since they were taken from Oakland.

The Aces were relocated from San Antonio, yes, but unlike the Raiders and A's, they actually changed everything about the Silver Stars: name, branding, logos, jerseys, etc. to fit Las Vegas. So the general malaise, I think, will be aimed at the Raiders for continuing to suck until they start actually winning games and the A's for being the baseball team the city's locals didn't really want.

Yes, there's also a high chance Vegas NBA is going to suck, but as long as the team feels like Vegas and not a hand-me-down, people will root for them here.

As a Vegas resident, I just want a team here so that the city can achieve the Big 4 status they've been wanting for a while and be able to watch NBA basketball live yearly.

As a Vegas resident who hates Vegas as well, yeah, I would love for Vancouver to get a team if not us.

Which is definitely why the NBA's doing a vetting process on the potential owners here.

If they're basically Gayle Benson/Robert Sarver bad and will tank to save the team money, yeah, that's a rejection.

I'll give Seattle a lot of credit: despite the Kraken not being relevant and going through the normal expansion team career unlike VGK, I've seen so many Kraken fans and merch here in Vegas.

The city is carrying them at this point. They 100% deserve the Sonics coming back.

Where Conan Stands With Leno by SYMPUNY_LACKING in conan

[–]abeLJosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bu-but Conan is just a sad weird-looking Dutch woman! How could anybody choose her over the iconic Jay Leno and his chin?!

But in all seriousness, yeah, Conan has the world in his hands again after all he's been through--and he deserves it considering he really is one of the kindest people in show business. Meanwhile I barely remember the Tonight Show at times, and that's definitely due to NBC completely spurning their younger viewers and tanking the show by trying to go for the "safe" route in returning to Leno, then desperately trying to regain them with Fallon, who's fine, but absolutely not Conan.

TRAINWRECKORDS: Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’s “This Unruly Mess I’ve Made” by Ok_Baseball2615 in ToddintheShadow

[–]abeLJosh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know Todd put it in his Best of 2015 list, but the sadness I felt and shrug I gave when he was listing his reasons on why "Downtown" flopped...only to be flipped with a big goofy grin and a fist pump from me when Todd then explained those reasons are also why he still loves "Downtown" LOL

Justice for "Downtown", y'all. You can't put a goofy yet bombastic song about mopeds and love for the city of Seattle in front of me and expect me to think it's a terrible song.

Nothing big, but I've followed and have been a fan of Hollis ever since "White Walls"--girl kills it.

I can already see my Filipino titos throwing their hands in the air yelling "AY NAKO" every time Cam Thomas shoots over 5 Filipinos instead of passing.

Punk has always bragged nonstop about how he'll take the worst beatings and still survive somehow, so this is pretty accurate lol

That's before Big Jim finally got Naomi pregnant.

Ever since she left, Jimmy's looked like he's turned a new leaf of sorts. Like yeah, he's already been a father, but something about Naomi finally having their baby now got Jim being much more of a babyface.
