* First official Veronica Mars trailer is out. (Also available on YouTube, if E! is still being picky about geography.)
* An interview with the producers of the new comedy Enlisted, which stars Veronica Mars' Chris Lowell. I'm looking forward to this one.
* Thor is the new Superman? I may be betraying my hardcore Marvel bias here, but I think it has less to do with Thor specifically and more to do with Marvel just generally being better at this than anyone else in the superhero movie business these days.
* I would have watched the hell out of an Agent Carter TV series if it had happened instead of Agents of SHIELD. As it is... well, it's hard to get excited about the new series Marvel is teasing when the existing one isn't that good.
* So, there are rumors that Steve Rogers is going to die and be replaced as Captain America by Bucky. That's a thing that happened in the comics, and Steve came back (everybody dies and comes back like twelve times in the comics), so I'm not worried about Chris Evans losing his job, lol. I am, however, skeptical when the outlet breaking the news doesn't know how to correctly spell "Rogers."
* I think I'm more excited about the idea of a Downton Abbey version of Clue than I am about the new season. No, scratch that, I am DEFINITELY more excited about Downton Clue. The "weapon" cards, you guys. I AM DYING. (uh, no pun intended?)
* Are fans having too much influence over shows they love, thanks to the internet and social media? Since it's The Guardian, the article obviously focuses on Doctor Who and Sherlock. I haven't seen the new Sherlock, mostly because I can't be bothered, but I didn't see the Doctor Who special as catering to fans particularly? I mean, the 12 regenerations thing is an established fact in canon that they had to deal with if they wanted to keep recasting the role past Capaldi - the fact that fans speculated about how they'd deal with it is kind of irrelevant. Frankly, if fan opinions had influenced the writing, you'd think they'd have come up with a better explanation than the handwavey one we got.
