The Hollywood monopoly unveiled its first trailer for Lanterns, the upcoming HBO Max series about the Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, and his apprentice, John Stewart. The trailer, which I’ll embed at the bottom of this article, looks mostly like a new season of True Detective, not like a superhero show. In addition to scenes of driving around in a car, there is a brief shot of the Green Lantern’s costume, which looks like a bunch of football pads sewn together, dyed pea green, and then run over a few times with that same car.

If you’re at all familiar with Green Lantern, as a superhero, then you know it’s sort of a sci-fi spacey property about a guy who can make anything he wants out of his green ring. It’s not a dusty comic about an old guy driving around back roads in a car.

But if you’re a fan of a major, geek-centric media property, then you’re probably used to disappointment. Hollywood seems to have made it their mission to destroy everything nerds once loved, from Star Wars to Marvel to Star Trek. Most have assumed it’s been happening due to incompetence, but the truth may be something far, far worse. 

That truth is this: Hollywood views geeks as pay pigs, and they’re being farmed. 

A pay pig is a slang term for a person who repeatedly gives money, gifts, or financial support to someone who views them with open contempt or indifference. The payer is seen not as a valued supporter but as a gullible source of easy income, tolerated only as long as the payments continue.

Damon Lindelof Reveals What He Really Thinks Of Green Lantern

Damon Lindelof, who is responsible for HBO’s Lanterns and many of the biggest geek properties that have been ruined and are currently being ruined, recently revealed in an interview that this is how he views the people who pay his bills. Here’s the clip from Lindelof, watch what happens when he gets too comfortable and the mask drops.

This is all part of the now-decades-long Hollywood trend of making content for itself rather than its viewers. You’re viewed as pay pigs, a captive audience forced to eat their slop.  

That results in a Green Lantern show that won’t have anything green in it. It also won’t do any Green Lantern things. Instead, as explained by the trailer, the plot seems to revolve around a horrible old white man getting out of the way so a hot dude with the kind of skin color Damon Lindelof approves of can take over.

What does this have to do with a superhero comic about an organization of intergalactic guardians? Nothing. All that space stuff costs money to make and effort to coordinate. They don’t have to go to all the trouble because you’re just a pay pig, and they’ll use the Green Lantern logo. Eat your slop.

Everything’s Terrible Because You Aren’t Respected

Hollywood’s lack of respect for its audience is why every show seems to be doing musical episodes or childish drama, because the people behind them are a bunch of theater kids who enjoy doing stage plays and don’t care about, and in some cases are actively repulsed by, what the audience wants. It’s why everything pushes a political agenda that has nothing to do with the show; it’s why everything looks cheap and lazy. Modern entertainment is made for the people making it, not for you.

It’s not incompetence. They see you as beneath them and believe they can take your money from you without putting in any effort. You’re a pay pig, and you’re being farmed. It’s a Ponzi scheme, and you’re the elderly grandma they’re ripping off.

The worst thing about it is that they aren’t wrong in their approach. Modern society is now overrun with zombified slop eaters, who will watch anything that shows up on screen with the right logo in front of it. There’s no incentive for them to respect their audience. People have been so thoroughly screenwashed that manipulating them has become easy, and they don’t have to try anymore. 

So why put in all that effort on something you don’t care about? Give the slop eaters their slop, collect your paycheck, and laugh at them on the way home. It’s easy to imagine that’s what Damon Lindelof does, and he’s not the only one.

The Good Doctor star Paige Spara is on the road to recovery after a dog bit her cheek and lip.

“A little over a year now and the dog bite that took my cheek and upper lip out is PRETTY MUCH HEALED,” Spara, 36, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Thursday, March 5, alongside a new selfie. “BONJOUR, AMEN.”

In a follow-up slide, Spara offered a “before” photo of her facial injuries.

“RIP SCARESSSSSSSSSS,” the actress captioned her pic, in which she had stitches underneath her left eye and in two places near her top lip.

The Good Doctor series finale ended with a heartfelt farewell to its fans — and the team behind the ABC series are answering any remaining burning questions. After premiering in 2017, the medical drama series concluded its run during the Tuesday, May 21, episode. Viewers watched as Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore) processed the return […]

Spara has not shared further details from the dog attack. She’s also a puppy parent herself, often posting snapshots of dog Sally via social media. (It’s not clear whether Sally is the canine that bit Spara in the face.)

“I make a cup of coffee and journal to empty my brain,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in 2022 of her daily morning routine. “[Then], I take Sally out for a long walk around the seawall in Vancouver while I talk to my momma.”

After her morning walks with Sally, Spara headed to the set of ABC’s The Good Doctor. She played Lea Dilallo from 2017 to 2024.

“Even though we’re filming emotionally draining scenes, I’m the happiest when we are all together,” Spara told Us.

The medical drama, which wrapped in 2024 after seven seasons, also starred Freddie Murphy, Antonia Brown, Fiona Gubelmann, Noah Galvin and Hill Harper.

“I love working with Hill so much,” she added at the time. “He keeps me on my toes with his ideas and I love talking life with him between setups.”

Paging Paige Spara! The actress plays Lea Dilallo on ABC’s medical drama The Good Doctor — and is loving every minute of it. “Even though we’re filming emotionally draining scenes, I’m the happiest when we are all together,” Spara, 33, revealed in the latest issue of Us Weekly. The Kevin From Work alum has acted on The Good Doctor since its season […]

The Good Doctor followed Shaun Murphy (Highmore), a doctor on the autism spectrum, throughout his medical training. Elsewhere on the show, Shaun fell in love with Lea before they eventually got married and welcomed a baby.

“One of my best friends is on the spectrum and that definitely drew me to [the role],” Spara previously told NewBeauty in October 2022 of joining The Good Doctor. “I really wanted to be a part of the conversation of someone who’s on the spectrum and someone who’s not on the spectrum can come forth and have a relationship.”

She added at the time, “I really wanted to explore what that looks like and what that can be like and put that out there in the world as part of that. I was really excited to be a part of that for sure.”

Bold and the Beautiful has Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) convinced Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) is responsible for Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) being such a wonderful and passionate husband to her again. But when the truth comes out about Taylor and Deacon, I think Sheila’s reaction will stun everyone.

Everybody expects rage and danger but we may instead get devastation, sadness and tears instead. It’s Belinda from Soap Dirt and we’re going to talk about how Taylor’s cheating betrayal might hit Sheila harder than Deacon’s betrayal.

Bold and the Beautiful: Sheila’s Undying Gratitude for Taylor

So, this week, we had Sheila up at Taylor’s office with a box full of stomach-turning toe cookies to thank her for talking to Deacon. And then Sheila dropped an incredible amount of TMI as she thanks Taylor for telling Deacon to get back in her bed and be a real husband.

He absolutely rocked Sheila’s world, blew her mind and was more passionate than ever. She said it was like Deacon was making love to her for the first time and it’s all because of Taylor. And then Sheila insisted Taylor’s the reason her marriage to Deacon is so wonderful right now.

I mean technically, Taylor is 100% responsible for Deacon’s amazing bedroom performance that wowed Sheila. But it’s also skeevy that Taylor knew Deacon was thinking about her the whole time. Of course, Sheila doesn’t know that and begged Taylor to keep seeing Deacon.

Sheila Trusts Taylor Completely and Considers Her a Friend on Bold

And when Taylor tried to say that she couldn’t see Deacon anymore because he’d graduated therapy, Sheila wasn’t having it. It’s like she’s afraid that if Deacon stops seeing Taylor, then Sheila thinks the progress in their marriage will stop—which makes sense.

She also told Taylor she would like to think they’re friends and hopes they’ve gotten past all the horrible things Sheila has done in the past. She thinks Taylor is amazing, I mean, let’s be real, Sheila has Taylor up on a pedestal as much as Deacon does.

And when Sheila hugged Taylor and said it feels like they’re all in this marriage together, that was absolutely accurate although Sheila doesn’t yet know that is literally true. And then she talked about wanting to see her grandson and wanting to belong, writers doing overtime on her angst.

Bottom line is that Sheila really likes Taylor, cares about her and trusts her in every way. Sheila is genuinely thankful for Taylor. It seems Sheila really believes she’s changed and is a different person and it’s clear Brad Bell’s working hard to set up a pity party for Sheila.

Brad’s writing it so psycho Sheila, the woman who shot her own son Finn (Tanner Novlan) and his wife Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and left them for dead, is a victim. I mean if you didn’t know her history, you’d feel kind of bad for her.

Has Sheila Really Changed or Is the Old Villain Still Lurking on B&B?

But there are two sides to the Sheila thing—yes people can change, like I truly think Deacon did. But also, it’s hard to think that at her core, after decades of evil-doing that Sheila really has changed.

She still seems volatile, like a flip could switch at any moment and she’d be dark and dangerous again. Like when she told Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) she’d just kill him then was like ha, ha just kidding. I definitely think that’s a red flag that the old Sheila is still in there and maybe not too far beneath the surface.

I mean, to be fair, she did save Taylor from falling off the roof of the hospital a few years back, so maybe in Sheila’s mind that makes up for her shooting Taylor and her being presumed dead many years ago.

Maybe Sheila thinks that makes them even. But she also shot Taylor’s daughter Steffy. Then again, Sheila turned around and saved Steffy from being shot by Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada). So, again, maybe in Sheila’s mind, that balances their books.

Taylor’s Betrayal Will Cut Deeper Than Deacon’s

So, right now, Brad Bell and his writers are putting Sheila in the position of the victim because what Deacon and Taylor are doing is wrong. There’s no denying that. So, what I’ve been thinking about is that I think Sheila’s actually going to be harder hit by Taylor’s betrayal than she is by Deacon’s.

You know, men put their pepperonis in other ovens when they shouldn’t. That’s always possible. But for Taylor to betray Sheila? That’s going to be a knife to the gut. She really thinks that Taylor is her trusted best friend.

I think Sheila’s going to be absolutely crushed, devastated, and in tears when the truth comes out. Now, this could wind up with her so hurt by Taylor that she goes stark raving mad. Sheila may snap and revert to her villainous ways. Or she could crumble into a whole pile of sadness.

In a recent interview, Kimberlin Brown said that when Sheila finds out, it’s going to be big. I can see her being mad at Deacon, definitely. But I think it’ll hit Sheila a different way with Taylor. I think it will be soul-crushing and at first, Sheila may just have a tear-filled breakdown.

Will Sheila Snap and Unleash Her Inner Villain Again?

But once she dries her tears, the pain of Taylor betraying her could push Sheila over the edge and unleash the villainess in her once again. But if she goes after Taylor, first, I think Deacon would protect the woman he loves—Taylor.

And I think if Sheila flips that switch back to psycho, it may be triggered more by Taylor than Deacon himself. I think Sheila will be absolutely heartbroken that Taylor could do something so awful to her.

I think Sheila would be more upset about being hurt by Taylor than by the possibility of losing Deacon. We’ll see what happens. But it’s going to be explosive when Taylor and Deacon’s love for each other is exposed.

We’re still waiting to see that Bold and the Beautiful spoiler about a couple making love for the first time happen. Because I feel pretty strongly that it’ll be Taylor and Deacon giving into their passion and getting intimate.

And from there, it’s a ticking time bomb until Sheila finds out, freaks out, and is stunned at the extent of betrayal from Deacon and Taylor, the woman she considers her closest friend. The fallout’s going to be epic and I’m definitely here for it.

Young and the Restless spoilers for next week talk about Jack Abbott’s (Peter Bergman) shocking blast from the past that ends in a kiss. And Matt Clark’s (Roger Howarth) dangerous return looms large.

We’ve got the latest Y&R spoilers for the week of March 9th where we’ll see Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) chasing a lead. And Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) shocking Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow).

Young and the Restless: Diane Jenkins & Kyle Abbott Desperate to Find Jack

Ok so, let’s start with Diane and Kyle and what’s going on with Jack. At the end of this week, Diane and Kyle headed over to Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Sally Spectra’s (Courtney Hope) place to strategize. They’re trying to retrace Jack’s steps and figure out when he was taken. And how to bring him home.

Diane’s terrified to think that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) really has Jack. But Kyle wonders if Victor might be playing them. And Billy says this definitely wouldn’t be the first time Victor’s done something like that. Billy wants to talk to Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) because Billy says she won’t be okay with Victor kidnapping Jack.

But I agree with Diane who says that Nikki will just make excuses and enable what Victor did. Bottom line, is that Diane and Kyle just want Billy to go ahead and give Chancellor back to Victor. And put an end to this.

Sally prods Billy to admit he doesn’t technically own Chancellor yet, Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) still does. Then they argue and Diane’s worried that Phyllis wouldn’t actually help. And might just let Jack pay the ultimate price.

Diane thinks Nikki and Phyllis won’t help and she, Kyle and Billy need to find Jack themselves. But Kyle and Billy think they might be able to convince Phyllis to help them—but they need to do it fast.

Kyle and Diane Chase a Lead to Find Jack Abbott

While Billy heads over to work on Phyllis, we have Diane admitting to Kyle that she will go beg Nikki if she can help them get Jack back. Diane’s frantic. And worried Jack being in danger, but Kyle thinks his uncle Billy will get through to Phyllis.

So in next week Young and the Restless spoilers, we’ve got lots of Jack action coming. First, we have Billy back over at the Abbott mansion telling Kyle and Diane that this could be a wild goose chase. But Kyle says it could also be the lead they need to find his dad Jack.

And then Diane says it’s the only lead they have so they have to follow i. And hope for the best. Meanwhile, I was so excited that I was right thinking that crazy Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) is back to Y&R for the kidnapping storyline—working with Victor yet again it seems.

Patty Williams Returns to Babysit Jack on Victor’s Yacht on Y&R

So, at the end of this week, Jack woke up groggy on the yacht—so it’s clear he was drugged so Victor’s thugs could kidnap him. Jack’s banging on the door and calling for help. And decides he may be on Lake Michigan but needs to see the shoreline to figure out where he is.

Jack wonders if Victor is behind this—but I mean come on—who else would kidnap him and stick Jack on a yacht. He’s wondering if Victor cooked this up because of something to do with Billy. And rather than being worried about his safety, Jack hopes that Billy doesn’t let Victor win.

And that’s when the door opened and Jack’s jaw dropped. As we suspected, there stood crazy Patty Williams who said nice to see you too Jack. This is a woman that Victor’s used more than once as a tool to target Jack.

So in next week Young and the Restless spoilers, Jack is, of course, still stuck on the yacht where Victor has him trapped with Patty there to babysit. And possibly torment him. So, Jack’s trying to work her and wants a favor.

Jack Agrees to Kiss Patty for a Favor

I’m guessing it’s for Patty to let him out of the stateroom so he can look for a way to get away. But she asks Jack what she’ll get if she does him this giant favor. So, he asks Patty what she wants and what she wants from Jack is a kiss.

Then, he tells Patty that if she shows him around the yacht, Jack will give her a kiss. Now, I’m pretty sure that Patty knows he’s married to Diane. And Jack was cheating on Patty with Diane back when they were married. Jack even slept with Diane on Patty and Jack’s wedding day.

So, I’d be really surprised if Patty settles for just a kiss. She may want Jack in bed with her to rub it in Diane’s face. And if it goes anything like the last time Victor kidnapped Jack, he might’ve provided Patty with drugs she can use to force Jack to do anything she wants.

Holden Makes a Deal with Audra to Seduce Kyle on Young and the Restless

Also, next week on Y&R, we’ll get more on Holden Novak’s (Nathan Owens) brand new deal he just cut with Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver). While Holden acted gracious when Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) called things off with him, clearly Holden’s not going to let it go and he wants Claire away from Kyle and back to him.

He asked Audra to seduce Kyle so it’ll end things with Claire and Kyle. But Audra just swore to a truce and she’s worried Claire might choke her again. Audra claims she doesn’t care about Kyle but Holden makes it into a challenge to make Audra want to be the winner and beat Kyle.

In the end, despite Holden obviously doing this to get Claire back for himself, but Holden said that if she has Kyle at her side, she’d be a real power player since he’s an Abbott. Surely, this will end in disaster but I can’t wait to see Audra tempting Kyle while Claire stews about it.

Sienna Takes Steps to Stop Matt Clark on Y&R

Then, next week on Young and the Restless, we’re getting close to having Matt Clark pop his awful head up out from under the rock where he crawled when he was released from police custody. And we also have Sienna back to Genoa City determined to make a go of it with Noah Newman (Lucas Adams).

But Matt’s an ongoing threat to a lot of people. So, Sienna tells Sharon and Nick that she wanted to repay them for getting her out of a dangerous situation with Matt, so Sienna says she owes them and takes some steps to try and stop Matt once and for all.

Make sure to catch our full weekly spoilers video tomorrow, for the week of March 9th-13th plus our weekly predictions and lots more.
