They'll do what was done with Wheel of Time. The publishers will gather his notes, hire a writer (One who has a similar writing style and/or genre interest and experience), and this writer will complete based on those and will have to adopt a degree of creativity to construct the narrative.

Might be a controversial opinion but I'm going to say no. Especially to Supergirl, Arrowverse and Mellisa Benoist did Supergirl better. Didn't like the show later on but at least it tried to do something interesting with her and it had an audience that enjoyed it.

When Kara was brought in to Smallville it was during Season 7 which was it's worst both narrative and writing wise (can't blame on the writers strike, it was shit from the starting pistol) and she added nothing and made Clark worse and an even bigger douchebag than he already was at this point.

So many to pick, I love Futurama.

I'll go with The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings.

I'll give a shout out to How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back too. Not a top 5 episode for me, maybe a 15 - 10 but one I like that I don't see get mentioned a lot.

Edit: I'll give some love to revival era. Game of Tones has a mega tear jerker of an ending.
Also have a huge soft spot to Stench and Stenchability. If Zoidberg isn't my favourite character then he's definitely the character I have some affinity with, a good natured and well meaning but constantly down on his luck creature who's the butt of the jokes finally gets his day.

Superman is my favourite but I don't think he can work in an action game.

I think a narrative style Superman game, similar in vein to Telltale games, would work very well.

As Clark Kent, You focus on his investigative journalism skills, ask the right questions, see which leads and sources need to be followed up on. His X-ray vision and super hearing for clues.

It'll differ between schools and especially in the UK. I've taught in a lot of schools and there's no consensus.

For me when I was growing up

English - Dark Blue
Maths - Orange
Science - Red
History - Green

Where I teach now,
Science (my subject) we use Purple
Maths - Blue
English - Red
History - Yellow (same as languages but they have flag stickers, I'm jealous we don't get stickers to differentiate between physics, chemistry and biology)

Used to drink socially. But had a depressive spell and responded by drinking just to get through the days over 3 months.

When that depressive spell abated, I started therapy and really looked at myself I realised I'm likely to express self destructive behaviour so I became a teetotaler to avoid.

The first season was good. Then that twist with Shredder happened and it got dumb. I don't remember watching it much after that.

My experience also.
Very impressive first season then it bought in space dinosaurs and combined Shredder with Krang. It got very weird to me.

Wow. They can fuck off with that notion.

I've only come across thier KS3 Science, middle school equivalent for US, which was the textbook used at a school I taught at years ago. Genuinely wasn't fond of using it at all. And I've never worked in a school that used thier GCSE / A Level books.

So I'm curious as how many University/Colleges are using thier books for recommended reading.

Point is, I look at this and see excess greed and anti-consumer rights management for an inferior product.

TopicXbox Live > PSN, at least back then
JaiCSC

Yeah while I'm more of a playstation user I recognise that Xbox Live was the best service until PlayStation Plus revamped when the PS4 launched.

Online service seemed to be much smoother and less problematic than before in my experience at least and at that point when the monthly games were included playstation had the edge because of the first party/exclusives well they had.

But Xbox answered with Game Pass and that's looking like a better service than PlayStation Now and new PlayStation Plus at least on the content front surprisingly.

A pure fusion reaction is really hard to sustain I think.

The science I've come across suggests this. Expanding on that. It's looks like there's no human technology at present (and personally I think highly unlikely) to do so at a small scale. And considering the smallest scale where sustained fusion exists are in stars, getting something like that exponentially smaller on Earth... There's an adage that says fusion power sources are forever 100 years away.

Then I think you'll really like the Uni-Ball Air.

It has a "Soft Tip" that vary's line thickness by the angle and pressure of your hands to mimic calligraphy strokes.

I despise this pen because of that tip.
I prefer the Jetstream from Uni which is very smooth but does require a lighter touch so if you press hard when writing then it probably isn't a good recommendation either.

Would this count?

I was in one of my local bookshops and there was a small crowd of people in one of the aisles which I was walking through to get to the stationary section and someone put their hand out in front of me, startled and confused I shook that man's hand and continued on.

Then when I went to the tills I saw the sign and realised whose hand I shook. That was Henry Winkler who had finished his book signing.
