RM: This is for the week ending today. I hope to get next week's list
out tonight or tomorrow. My mom was formally diagnosed with Alzheimer's
disease this week, and I have been working on arranging overnight
coverage by health care aides, as she's had a number of falls recently
and her doctor recommends 24/7 observation if possible.
 

 
 
Sorry to hear that Robin. I know how tough it can be when our parents
end up needing full time care even if they fully understand why. In
your mom's case I can imagine there are times where she won't
understand why she has these strangers around her. :(

So what went wrong with it? Did the character suck in the comics or
did the writers of the show head off in a different direction that
didn't work for the viewers. I know the character was never that
popular in the comics so that wasn't a good basis for a show.
That said I'll have to at least sample it as it's in my wheelhouse
(superhero Genre, Marvel).
