I was fully prepared for Spelling Bee to reject the word “Ecotone“1. Imagine my consternation when it was accepted and (almost) ruined my scheme to get a quick-n-dirty post out of it.
So, Spelling Bee, I See You Too Watched “Six Feet Under”

The Early Years: Robot … FROM THE FUTURE!
This week’s entry in the list of “Things Jim Pulled Out Of His Pile Of Old Villains & Vigilantes Stuff” is the character sheet for a giant killer robot from the future named Orion. You can tell this is a little newer than some of the others because it is printed with the latest in high-quality dot matrix technology, as befits a Robot … FROM THE FUTURE! Check it out:

Meta AI: “Oooh! Hey! I know all about Milo! Want to hear his story? I know his favorite food! Really I do! Did you ever want to be a Goldfish Inspector? Let’s see what their duties are! Also if you would like to book an appointment for Trouble and Pooh Bear to come and inspect your goldfish, just let me know!”

Not A Not A Review Of “Daredevil”
So recently I’ve started watching the old Netflix Daredevil series, which is now a Disney+ series, because I want to get caught up before I watch the Disney+ Daredevil series Born Again, since the “Born Again” story arc is my favorite Daredevil one from the Marvel comic, but which, as I understand it, is not really a straight-up adaptation of the “Born Again” storyline but is, instead, a mash-up of some other storylines*, and they decided to use the title just to lure in suckers like me. Whew! Did you follow all that? If so, congratulations. You may be able to read a comic book without getting totally confused as to what’s going on.
Oh, and, before we continue …
