Allison Hargreeves is in a Simulation

The third season of the Umbrella Academy left fans with many questions. All of the Hargreeves children are in a world where they don't have powers and Sir Reginald Hargreeves seems to be alive with his wife. It is hard to wait until the next and final season, I can tell you that.

Did I just have to look up if there would be another season? Yes. It's just been that kind of week with a bunch of shows I love getting canceled.

One burning question is what happened with Allison Hargreeves. It looks like everything is perfect for her. But could she merely be in a simulation?

The Woke Iliad

Paid Promotion

The woke and the based battle it out in a hilarious revamp of Homer's Iliad.

Helen, America’s Ambassador of Woke, has been abducted on the orders of the Moldovan President Bagrayev, the most politically incorrect head of state in the world. The outraged Americans, led by the conscientious General Womack, invade his small but nuclear-armed country. To gaslight Bagrayev and avoid triggering the Armageddon, they assemble a coalition of allies and sneak into Moldova overnight with a thousand submarines. Once at war, Womack must avoid escalation of violence at all costs. He must manage his opponent’s volatile personality as well as the bickering identity groups within his own ranks. Both sides must find a way to deal with ruthless social media psyops and with perfidious captives and defectors.

Read now to find out how this most modern of conflicts will end, stuck as it is between the hyper-violence of nuclear holocaust and the hyper-sensitivity of wokeness.

Will Byers will be Canonically Gay in Stranger Things Season 5

Stranger Things does a great job at keeping viewers engaged. The Mind Flayer was revealed as a villain and seasons later its origins were explained. Joyce Byers and James "Jim" Hopper finally kissed in Season 4. They could have gone further but that darn phone!

With the final season in sight, it's extremely likely that Will Byers' sexuality will be addressed. Over the course of four seasons it's been made clear he's gay. So it's safe to assume he'll be coming out of the closet in the final season.

The Devil Is In The Details

Paid Promotion

Saamyah Anne Cambell is a former special agent of the FBI, now a detective with local law enforcement. She absconds Texas for a temporary duty assignment in Florida to cope better with familial losses. Thrust into a new environment, cantankerous partner, and mystifying case, Saamyah soon realizes that the very agony she was running from is ultimately the same torment she is running to.

Bryan Terrell Russell has been a lone detective with local law enforcement since the resignation of his career-long partner. Accustomed to come, go, and do as he please, the assignment of a new partner is not only inconvenient for him, but also uncomfortable. Torn between the desire to be right and the obligation to do the right thing, Bryan must strategically balance personal sacrifices and professional gains.

Together they must rise above their differences to halt a sadistic sex offender. In a race against time, hot-temperaments, egos, and pride, the quest to discover the devil in the details is no easy feat—particularly when one partner believes that the truth sets one free and the other never felt captive to a lie.

The Devil is in the Details

An idiom that refers to a catch or mysterious element hidden in the details, meaning that something might seem simple at first glance but will take more time and effort to complete than expected. –Wikipedia
