No episode for this week. I’ve got a Microsoft meeting for work, a stack of midterms to grade, power through the DVR for Fall television premieres (The Flash Season 2 starts tonight!), and New York Comic Con this weekend. Which is just as well, because it lets me react to the news likely to break soon (we’re already getting trickles of information for The Flash movie and Lex Luthor), before we go back to general topic episodes like martial arts, Krypton, the Batman, Lex Luthor, gadgets, etc.
