    So the crew runs out of Justice and then finds some on a nearby planet?

    If Edward Norton isn't in the Avenger movie as Bruce Banner/Hulk I am going to be irate.

    @Makidian: Hmmm... if the Hulk appears but not Bruce Banner, is that a Norton credit? Did they use his face at all for the Hulk? I don't recall that they did.

    @Lassus: Yeah my comment says Bruce Banner/Hulk much like the rumor above says Loki will be mind controlling Bruce Banner making the Hulk wreck everything in sight. At some point they would have to be showing Bruce Banner as Bruce Banner. In that moment I want it to be Edward Norton. I don't care if it's a five minute cameo, but consistency through all the franchises is important and cutting Norton out would be shameful. For me it would be the same as if they cut out RDJ as Iron and used someone else, because you know, his face isn't on his mask....

    @Burke: I believe that Eric Bana's Hulk doesn't count since the new Hulk was the reboot intended to follown the current franchise films.

    @ Lassus I am not saying that Norton needs to be in there for a long time but for consistency sake I would like to see Norton as the Hulk. For me it just ties the movies and characters together more effectively and I would rather see Norton as Bruce when he changes back, simple as that. I am not asking that he have large and unneccessary role in the movie.

    @entropymaker probably lol, but it takes a lot to really piss me off.

    I love that there are so many superhero movies in development, even if they all suck.

    Also, I swear, when I saw the heading for the V spoiler, I thought for a split second they were remaking V for Vendetta, perhaps happening in America or something.

    "...hiding a secret that threatens the Destiny and her crew." OH FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST, REALLY?

    Well there's the animated 6-parter "Dreamland" that just ended, and a Doctor Who-themed episode of "The Weakest Link". The animated one looks a bit strange, but tolerable. Haven't had a chance to watch the game show yet, just downloaded it tonight.

    I'm guessing: Dr Rush - in a crewman's quarters - with a pistol.

    And, despite dropping Flash(In The Pan)Forward from my viewing list, I watched those clips. Show of hands: Does anyone feel the full episode will add anything else?

    @Julius Seizure - Gall Bladder Free: My guess is the killer is Franklin (the scientist who puked during exercise). He has a personal grudge against the bald sergeant and hates the military enough to frame Young.

    The FlashForward episode will have a "shocking twist" in the last minute. Otherwise the clips are probably the high points of the episode.

    @LiC: The preview strongly hinted he is the victim (hour late for duty) and he is disliked by a lot of people on Destiny (including Young). And to be brutally honest, it's Stargate. I don't expect a clever Agatha Christie mystery (but at least a Jessica Fletcher level).

    Hiroyuki Sanada has been turning up in a number of U.S. productions in recent years, something I keep hoping his RINGU/RASEN co-star Miki Nakatani would do as I've read that she speaks perfect English.

    @Bootknife-Jackson: We'd have to leave the wife-beater and the angry one out of the team, and it'd have to be Ultimate Iron Man if we were in character (teetotal Tony in 616 after all).

    Seriously though, that would be great. When leaving/drinking time arrived - "Avengers Assemble!". And if you have a designated driver, they have to be Jarvis.

    It just occurred to me: Are new comics coming Thursday because of Veterans' Day?

    Edit: Oh holy crap, how did I miss this? S.W.O.R.D. #1 comes out this week! Abigail Brand is the second best thing to come out of Joss's run on Astonishing (the best being Armor).

    Whilst I'm on entirely the wrong side of the Atlantic to have a hope of getting it before the trade, the Wall-E series actually has me really excited, as does Supergod. Although I'm reasonably sure a Supergod movie done by Pixar isn't going to be happening aaaaany time soon... #avengers
