She arrived in a Captain America onesie. (With boots. It is the country, after all.) Please forgive the quality of the photo. It was taken with my tablet and since it was outdoors I was wearing polarizing sunglasses to protect my eyes from rays 'n things which made it difficult to see the screen properly. Here is an idea for you. The Technorama Pronunciation Guide. It might make the news easier to understand for new listeners. Keep up the good work, Charles * What show would you like to see rebooted, Justin? Disney's Gargoyles. Still with Keith David as a voice. And the Star Trek: TNG cast too. Babylon 5 on something other than Warner Brothers. That company is poison to cross media, and someone new could bring the series to a Star Trek level with the right love. Hey ST and SW are both in reboot/restart mode. It would work. The Tick, both the live action and Cartoon versions, although I think I heard rumors of a Netflix reboot of the live action series. Tenchi Muyo, because it has had two reboots. Why not a third? Uh, hrm. Oh why not a complete reboot of the Disney cartoons through the late 80s to the late 90s and combine them into a Kingdom hearts TV show/movie franchise.
