Star Wars The Clone Wars: Question 1: Where would you say, at this time, approximately Rex would rank amongst your list of favorite Star Wars characters? Question 2: Thus far, Palpatine has by and large been unequivocally trusted by the Jedi, and after all, he’s a stand up guy, why shouldn’t they trust him? (“Agatha Harkness wink”) One exception is Obi-Wan who is wary of Palpatine but that’s more because of bias against politics like he said in Attack of the Clones, “Palpatine is a politician. I've observed that he is very clever at following the passions and prejudices of the Senators.” Still, you’d think after something like the Zillo beast situation, the Jedi would have one or two questions about Palpatine. What say you about the Jedi having continued trust and belief in Palpatine? What If...?: Question 1: So, Uatu, the Watcher, states that Peggy not being in the observation booth changed the timeline. I’m confused, however, as to how that causes Red Skull and his Hydra henchmen to invade Norway and steal the Tesseract after the procedure with the serum whereas in the film this scene transpired at least a few months beforehand. Did you find that to be odd as well and/or do you have any thoughts as to what changed that series of events or is this most likely the case that I’m overanalyzing the situation? Question 2: Theoretically how would you imagine the probable friendship that would transpire between Peggy and Sam in this altered timeline? Related to that, given that in this timeline Bucky does not become the Winter Soldier, presumably, and would very likely be dead or close to it come the present day, how do you feel the dynamic between Peggy and Sam would be different then Sam’s friendships with Steve and Bucky in the Sacred Timeline? Question 3: Despite the altered timeline, I would imagine Dr. Zola would still most likely be successful in rebuilding Hydra from within S.H.I.E.L.D. In your opinion, do you feel that Zola still would have been successful in his insidious and perfidious Hydra endeavors, or do you feel things would have turned out differently? Question 4: Now that we’ve had time to get past the shock of it, how would you sum up your opinions of Thanos turning away from the dark side as well as his father/daughter relationship with Nebula in this altered timeline? Question 5: Throughout the episode with T'Challa as Star Lord it felt like there was an underlying implication that Marvel was saying Peter Quill really is that much of a complete meathead and is completely useless. Which, if that is what they were going for, I say, “I won’t argue with you there, Marvel.” Do you feel that was an intended implication in the episode or do you feel that I and/or Marvel are being too mean to Quill? Planet of the Apes Reboot trilogy: Question 1: I found there to be interesting parallels and similarities regarding the characters of Koba and Colonel McCullough (Woody Harrelson) how they both represent the extremes of anti-human prejudice and anti-ape prejudice respectfully as well as the fact that they are two of the only characters of the trilogy that one can qualify as being outright villains. How would you say you would some up your feelings on the parallels and similarities between the two characters? Question 2: So, I’ve been hearing debates about whether or not this trilogy should stand on its own or does it connect to the original classic film and its subsequent sequels. Myself personally, I like the idea that these films are their own three part stand alone story; that said I do see the argument that the trilogy could ultimately tie into the original classic. Perchance, do you have a preference either way? Question 3: Much like the Mad Max films, it has been somewhat bizarre timing seeing with you for the first time these films that deal with a viral outbreak whilst we’re still in the middle of covid. Particularly eerie is the timing of seeing the third film which has the significant plot point of a variant of the original virus. Has this crossed your mind as well and/or any thoughts or comments? The Walking Dead: So, in your Sesska Suggests you say that Rick Grimes is your favorite tv character. Based on your comments, I’d venture a guess that you would consider Rick to be your favorite character of all time, not just tv. Is that correct? Black Widow: Question 1: There’s been speculation regarding whether or not, I guess you could call it the Black Widow family, Yelena, Melina, and Alexei, were victims of the Snap and subsequently resurrected by the Blip. We’ve been told we will receive confirmation about Yelena, I suspect possibly in the Hawkeye show. Until then, do you have any idea and/or preference as to the characters fates or are you ok with either possible outcome and are just waiting to see what Marvel goes with? Question 2: So, I have a few thoughts concerning Alexei and his alleged “great rivalry” with Captain America. Obviously, it’s quite likely that Alexei is just making it up, but considering we’ve met Isaiah in Captain America and the Winter Soldier, it raises the possibility that there were others who held the title of Captain America whom Alexei maybe faced in battle. There’s also the possibility that due to the timelines being a complete omnishambles as a result of Loki and Sylvie’s (mostly Sylvie’s) chicanery, perhaps Alexei did in fact go up against a variant of Steve Rogers from a different timeline whilst Steve of the Sacred Timeline was still busy being a Capsicle. Might either of these ideas seem likely to you or do you think it’s more likely that, as I said, Alexei’s just talking out of his ass about the whole thing? Question 3: Two part question regarding Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (I believe I’m correct on the name): The first pertaining to how her original planned introduction was going to be in Black Widow prior to covid altering the release schedule, yet I felt like it ended up being better that she was introduced in Captain America and the Winter Soldier. Do you have any thoughts as to how her introduction was handled? Second, as I stated before, based on the somewhat limited information that I have on the character from the comics, it would seem more likely she is a villain, yet Alexander Pierce and Sharon Carter are staunchly heroic characters in the comics and are villains in the MCU and Melina and Alexei are villainous characters in the comics and are more heroic characters in Black Widow. Also, Agatha Harkness has been both, depending on the continuity. Therefore, concerning Julia as the enigmatic Contessa, with the information we have at our disposal at the moment, do you feel it is more likely that she will be a hero or a villain, or perhaps somewhere in between?

Well, here we are. We always knew this day would come. The day when you finally have to face THE question. The one which has divided Doctor Who fandom for nearly half a century. It’s time for you to pick a side in The Great Debate. You MUST choose. There can be no sitting on the fence. So here we go… Do you think that the Master really believed The Clangers were an actual alien race? Or do you think he was just mocking Trenchard’s stupidity?

I'm new and absolutely loving your reactions- I found you through your Supernatural reactions. I'm curious if you've done any outside research on Supernatural- the cast, the fandom, conventions etc. Thanks!
