I like Hal on Earth with his supporting cast. I also like him in space, but his adventures should really be more balanced between Earth and the Corps. I prefer him in the Justice League with John and Guy (and the newer Lanterns) in the Corps books.

Let's see, that's Carol Ferris, Thomas Kalmaku... I can't remember who else. Do we know if they'll be in the show?
My main concern is that I'm not a fan of Kyle Chandler, though that's mainly because of the really obnoxious character he played in Godzilla, King of the Monsters. Hopefully I'll like him better as Hal.
A box of toys and some insurance forms.
Tour of Duty, Early Edition, Friday Night Lights.
Wolf of Wall Street

I'm aware of things Chandler has been in, but I'm not motivated to seek them out. I did see the occasional episode of Early Edition, but it never grabbed me.
He was also in Peter Jackson's King Kong.
I guess I was also considering the setting, Ferris and Coast City. Green Lanterns trips to space should be trips and reserved for stuff he needs to do. As for Chandler, I liked him on Early Edition back in the day and on Friday Night Lights.
I think this schmuck may find that MAGA is a dog that’s had its day. Tonight’s election results in pretty much every contest nationwide suggest Trump 2.0 has managed to turn Republicans radioactive in record time.
In retrospect the Fortress was a big clue that he loved him some ICE!
Not to get too political but I thought yesterday's results were a no brainer
It's states that typically lean Democratic who elected democratic representatives.
You start to expand into the middle areas of the US and you'll just see more or less the same Red states that voted in 2024.
In fact, I read that 98% of districts shifted toward the Democrats this year (meaning that even if the GOP candidate won, it was by a narrower margin), and there were a number of upsets in the Democrats' favor.
Of course, "red state" is a simplification; every so-called red state has blue cities. For instance, Ohio is solidly red on the state level, but here in Cincinnati, we haven't had a non-Democratic mayor since 1984 or a Republican mayor since 1971. (We have a third party, the Charter party, named for a document that my grandfather helped to write. Although part of the city charter was that we had a weak mayor with little power, until that was changed a couple of decades ago.) Apparently the opponent to our incumbent mayor this year was J.D. Vance's brother or something, and he predictably lost big.
But you're right, we shouldn't get off topic here. As far as studio execs go, it's unlikely that they'll give up their ideological agendas after one unfavorable election. If anything, they'll probably commit harder.
It wasn’t just the marquee contests, and it wasn’t just blue states.
Democrats broke a GOP supermajority in the Mississippi state Senate by flipping two seats.
They gained supermajorities in the Virginia House of Delegates and the New Jersey state Assembly.
Two Democrats won statewide nonfederal offices in Georgia for the first time in almost 20 years.

I’m feeling some hope about my country today for the first time in a year, and I think I’ll just be hanging on to that buzz thankyouverymuch.

And the Georgia Utility Regulator positions are very important because they will be able to make policy about the electricity use of AI and Data centers.
I'm really nervous about what they're going to try to do to Star Trek, it's always been very liberal, and I'd hate to see them turn it into some kind of pro-MAGA garbage that would go completely against what it's always stood for.
I've learned not to get optimistic, because it seems like every time I do, things end up worse than ever.
I'm not sure how likely that is. There's a perception of Hollywood being a liberal town, but in truth, studio executives have always been rich and thus tend to be conservative. Yet they allow film and TV creators to tell stories with a more liberal or inclusive bent because such stories are popular and make them money, and money usually outweighs ideological purity. Yes, there is a branch of the industry that's all about the conservative ideological purity, the branch where you'll find Dean Cain and Kevin Sorbo and Kirk Cameron getting steady employment, but their ideologically pure films cater to a narrow niche audience and aren't going to bring in the huge profits that studio executives want.
On the other hand, sometimes execs' political views do influence content, which is why we didn't get a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie with a female or nonwhite lead character until after Ike Perlmutter was eased out of authority over the movies. And I've wondered if David Zaslav cancelled Batgirl in part because it had a woman of color in the lead, and if his politics had anything to do with the shutdown of the very liberal and inclusive Arrowverse franchise. (Certainly Superman & Lois, the final Arrowverse series, was the most heteronormative series in the whole franchise, and its final season reduced all its nonwhite cast members to recurring status at best.) So there could be some effect, but it's hard to say how much.
