    Called it, she figured he’d do this, if by choice or by zombie voodoo. I’m sure the “friendlier” questioning will start soon, if she doesn’t just kill him out-right. Or just add him to the herd.

    Gotcha! 😉

    This turn of events is a surprise only to Eustace. And, maybe, Eustace’s subconscious. After all, this way he doesn’t have to actually risk actually attacking Suzie, which gives him a greater chance of survival than actually attacking her. I wonder what he was promised/threatened with?

    Not to nit-pick, but since sights are on target, finger should be on the trigger. Especially this close.
    The usual rule is “keep finger straight and off trigger until sights are on target”.

    Not to nit-pick, but since that was current philosophies regarding trigger discipline have evolved.
    Of course, it will depend on who you get/got your training from.
    Experiments have determined that the fraction of a second to go from finger off the trigger to finger firing when appropriate is insignificant, and the risk of firing unintended is greatly reduced.

    I did the google thing and I believe I saw how you reached this conclusion … but there are two parts to it – One should not omit the second part.
    “Trigger Finger Discipline: · The practice of keeping your finger “off the trigger” until your sights are on target AND YOU ARE READY TO DISCHARGE THE FIREARM.” (Caps are my own)

    She wants him alive so she can question him; otherwise, he’d already be dead. 💀

    Good discussion on trigger discipline!
    His skin is very pale / gray. Is this malnourishment, or has he been poisoned with a mind-control drug? I would have to go back and look a t all various of skin tone.

      On a prior page we discussed what he’s likely got running in his system. I suggested that it’s probably Borrochero (Brugmansia arbora) which is already used by Colombian cartels to eradicate the free will of their victims.

    Oh, the gray is just the dim light. Here is McCarthy eating dinner, and has the typical white dude flesh tone.

      Yeah, I was trying to show that it was dark. But went with the old Hollywood method of adding a blue grey tint over everything.

    Now can we satisfy my curiosity? Colt, Smith & Wesson, Ruger, or other timeline variant?

540 – Trick Hello

Suzie hearkening back to the last time Eustace was faked out. She probably regrets not being able to sneak the Lawn Ranger into the bedcovers to be the victim of the stabbing.

And with that, it's Episode 23 time! Welcome back to the Ranch, everyone!

Bringing ’em back…

There are very few sources I trust for entertainment news, especially given today’s emphasis on scoop over substance, but The Hollywood Reporter is one of them. If it’s a headline from them, it tends to be vetted and accurate and I pay attention. If I saw one of the more iffy media sites out there declaring that Alfred Molina was going to be reprising his role as Doctor Octopus for the next Spider-Man film, I would shrug. The one and only time he suited up for that was nearly two decades ago and it seems like just the sort of vaguely rumored nostalgia clickbait best not rewarded with a… well, click. But there it is from THR: Molina will be welcomed back to the Spider-franchise with ah, open arms. Jamie Foxx as Electro as well, which means we’re now potentially mixing-and-matching three iterations of Sony’s Spider-films. Benedict Cumberbatch will be appearing as Doctor Strange. Are we going multi-versal? Spider-versal? I mean, that already happened, but not in live action. Mining the past seems to be in fashion, if the above news and also recent episodes of The Mandalorian are any indication. Who am I to buck the trend? We first mentioned Wall Wardens waaay back at the beginning of Episode/Issue 2, and here we are a decade later in real time finally getting to some actual “footage” of the show. It’s not quite the fanfare return some of these other franchises are having, but hey, proud to be on the bandwagon nonetheless.
