Another reminder that you’re seeing more HitFix Harpy links because I’ve taken on more work for financial reasons. Unfortunately the Patreon as it stands isn’t supporting me quite as well as I’d hoped (though my new video did gain me a few more awesome Patrons!). It doesn’t mean I’ll be neglecting The Nerdy Bird, it just means I’ll be working a lot more.
If you enjoy my content here and the curation of nerdy things I provide via my social media accounts, please considering becoming a Patron for $2 or more a month, ($2 a month is just $24 a year for all my content) it makes a huge difference to me! I’ve also recently set up a PayPal page for those who may not be able to swing a monthly donation but can chip in here and there. As always, shares on social media of any of my work is greatly appreciated!!
Here’s a photo of me and the birthday girl from last week. I even remembered to wish her a Happy Birthday from all of you!

•I don’t know, I feel like having big characters like Cap and Bucky in the Black Panther movie could overshadow T’Challa. Maybe just have a cameo of him in stasis, or an after-credits scene of him waking up?
•A new BSG isn’t really something I want, but if it’s going to happen it needs to take place in the future. The original took place in the present, the reboot in the past, so it fits to have the new show discover a Planet of the Apes-style world when they finally get to Earth. After all, “all of this has happened before…”
•Honestly, I’d like to see what Christensen would do under a different director. It’ll never happen since Disney’s trying to stay as far away from the prequels as possible, but I’d like to see the guy have a chance to redeem himself in the fanboys’ eyes.
Medieval Times? I’ve never been, but it’s always sounded like fun!
I’m torn about Bucky in Black Panther. Because on the one hand, I don’t want a white dude’s story to dominate that movie, which it easily could (especially in the eyes of certain fans). But I also don’t want just a cameo (I’m very bitter about how Bucky’s point of view was short changed in Civil War). I would love really well written conversations between him and T’Challa, though, about their relationship, about responsibility and forgiveness, that sort of thing. I think that if it’s done well, it could really add depth to both their stories. But that’s a big if.
