A thread for thoughts and observations of Doot that don't fit in any other thread.

This will hopefully stop me from shoehorning my pet interests into threads that are only tangentially connected to the actual thread topics.

Today's thought:

What was up with that narration at the start of X-Men 140, with Colossus struggling to rip that tree trunk out of the ground? That should have been f*cking EFFORTLESS. Has anyone ever noticed this before?

And why did Peter David pass out those art pages that spoiled Guardian's death?

No no, I kid, I kid.

Actual thought for today:

The final episode of "Seinfeld" is an excellent, fitting finale to the series. Larry David is brilliant.

The first half of the finale was classic. It fell off in the second half but still better than most critics wrote.

A Dootcentric thread is what the fans have been crying out for.

We need all the Doot content, all the time - complete, unexpurgated and appropriately labelled.

I'm waiting for the next batch of in-depth Wild Cards spoilers to show up here.

I could post my Ultimate Wild Cards Timeline in this thread, and keep it out of the Wild Cards thread so that no one would be spoiled ...

Something to ponder ....

This thread should have been named Dooty Call.

I was not aware of that!

I do dig it, though.

One thing I've realized after rewatching them all lately is that the drop-off in quality after Larry David left at the end of Season 7 ... steep. So, so steep.

The finale was such a breath of fresh air after enduring those last few episodes in season 9, where things had gotten... pretty dire. Pret-tay, pret-tay, pret-taayyyy dire.

Finale is the only episode I flat out don’t like.

Not a huge fan of the finale myself.

Maybe it's just me, but definition 3 seems particularly relevant to the present discussion.

Doot, can you get to writing your own sitcom already? The world is ready

I do have this one concept that I think could be hilarious: about four New Yorkers who get arrested for not obeying the "Good Samaritan" law. There's a trial, lots of witnesses called .... the way I'm picturing it, it could be a laugh riot.

That's sounds good for a new series, just not to close off an existing one.

You know, because that way I can just skip it and not feel that I lost out on my previous investment in the series.

I find your judgments harsh and unfair.

Daredevil trivia. When did various significant characters learn (definitively) that Matt and Daredevil were the same guy?

(Only counting the times when it really stuck and the status quo was changed -- not times when DD put the genie back in the bottle with "twin brother"-styled shenanigans.)

Karen Page -- Daredevil issue 57
Heather Glenn -- DD issue 151
Purple Man -- DD issue 154
Death-Stalker -- between DD 157 and 158
Ben Urich -- DD issue 164
Spider-Man -- Spectacular Spider-Man 110
Johnny Squarejohn -- DD issue 209
Micah Synn -- DD issue 210
Kingpin -- DD issue 227
Foggy Nelson -- I haven't written this one up yet, so I forget, but it's ... circa issue 348. WAY later than everybody else!

The title of this thread reminded me of this show's theme song because of the ethereal ♫ Godzoookyyyy ♪ section.

Because, obviously, the ♫ Godzoookyyyy ♪ part could be sung as ♫ Call of Dooootyyyy ♪...
