Things aren’t looking good over in Batman Eternal. Not for former police commissioner Jim Gordon. Not for Batman. And not for us.
Not for Gordon, because eight issues into this fifty-two issue maxi-series, he’s still sitting in Blackgate Penitentiary awaiting trial for 162 counts of manslaughter. Not for Batman, because his best friend and former police commissioner is in Blackgate leaving Batman with interim commissioner Jack Forbes. And not for us, because eight issues into the fifty-two issue maxi-series that is Batman Eternal, we’ve realized its glacial pacing shows no signs of melting even with global warming. Seriously, this story has more padding than bubble wrap.
So what is it this time that’s got my spleen venting like a Yellowstone geyser? It’s interim police commissioner Jack Forbes. When we first met Forbes, back in Batman: The Dark Knight # 1, he was a lieutenant in Internal Affairs and...

Note: Do not read on if you have not seen Season 3, Episode 12 of The CW's The Vampire Diaries, entitled, "The Ties That Bind."
I have a problem. After last week's episode of The Vampire Diaries, I found myself rooting for Team Klaus. I thought Stefan went a little too far with that whole "I'm going to drive Elena off the bridge" act, but now I'm conflicted once again.
"The Ties That Bind" was an emotional roller coaster of an episode, and it kind of made fall in love with Stefan again. For the first time in weeks, he left his poker face at the door, and we got to see a glimpse of the old Stefan. It was a welcome return.
As much as I love this new, badass Stefan, his irrational antics were starting to get on my nerves, until tonight. He never stopped loving Elena. He had to...

Previously: Romance! Heartbreak! Necklaces! Daddy issues! Brother issues! Hybrid issues! What will happen next?
With a “Gossip Girl”-esque set of exterior shots, we establish that Klaus and Stefan are still in Chicago. As they outfit Rebecca in some 2011-era garb—“So women in the 21st century dress like prostitutes, then,” she sniffs—the vampires discuss the Case of the Missing Bauble. Stefan excuses himself to get a breath of fresh air (or, you know, the vampire equivalent), but finds Katherine instead.

Klaus failed, Anna warned and Caroline's father paid his daughter a visit on this week's episode of The Vampire Diaries.
Which ghost do you trust? Who inspired you the most? And might the show's love triangle be growing tiresome? Come along with Round Table participants Matt Richenthal, Steve Marsi and Dan Forcella as we delve into "The Hybrid."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What was your favorite scene from the episode?
Matt: Klaus actually losing it for a change. The guy is so calm and collected, so I took his anger over the hybrid failure to mean he's seriously scared of whoever the heck has been giving him directions.
Steve: Damon's speech to Elena at the end. Hanging on every word and moment of silence, I was legitimately unsure if they would go there. Full-fledged couple or not, the chemistry is palpable and the relationship complicatedly spellbinding.
Dan: Klaus in all of his glory, with...
