domarzione* This is what happens when you cross Remington Steele and Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries: you wind up in 1880s London on PBS.
* I was pleasantly surprised by the Black Widow trailer. David Harbour was the best, Pugh makes a decent Yelena (and perfect for my Freezer Burn needs), and I'm still kinda amused that everyone but ScarJo attempts a Russian accent. What is the pretext for four Russians speaking English to each other? Definitely amused that the IMDB page has RDJ in there as rumored because why wouldn't he be in an MCU movie at this point? No word or S Stan. Also, is it just me or did we get no timestamp on this clip beyond "after Avengers 1, before Endgame"?
* Thank you to my mysterious benefactor. This should not be the third item.
* The new Bond movie character posters are up and I think we should take a moment to marvel at how utterly freaking badass Lashana Lynch looks. Also that Rami Malek looks like a desiccated lizard, but mostly about Lynch. All of the fanboys are worried that she's gonna take over as the new 007 on a permanent basis, but I'm frankly more concerned that she gets fridged so that Jimmy Boy gets back in the saddle. She's not going to have the role permanently, that much is obvious -- else they would have done with her what they did with Jodie Whittaker when she became the Doctor. (Also, let's be honest, they're not going to have black women as both Bond and Moneypenny.) So does Lynch survive the film with another code number? Or does she die honorably so that Chav Bond can ride again?

You should never be jossed. We should strike that word from the fannish vocabulary because of what a shithead he was revealed -- and revealed himself, without shame -- to be. But you can very much still be russoed if you pick a timeframe, especially because I'm pretty sure the MCU has dropped cross-movie continuity after Endgame.
