## Resource

HBO’s getting in the superhero game with Lanterns , a take on a DC Comics superhero with theories about aliens, and lore expert Kate Sánchez returns to walk us through why John Stewart is an interesting apprentice, what she’d do with glowing-ring powers, and whether we buy Coach Taylor in this role. We went Around The Dial with The Dink , Hard Knocks , and the return of The Challenge , and our esteemed colleague John Ramos hoped we’d represent an episode of Heartstoppers for the Canon. Only Murders casting won, Dylan Walsh lost, and we waded into the Simpsons – One Piece plot Venn in Game Time. While away that flight to Nebraska with an all-new Extra Hot Great!
