~ M.A. Kropp

Since Avengers: Infinity War came out, there have been volumes written in attempts to explain various plot issues and speculate on what might happen in Avengers 4. For me, this is one that I hope is true (although I suspect it will prove to be wrong. *sob*). I won't put the title of the article … Continue reading Wednesday Wanderings: Interesting Infinity War Theory, Egg-Laying Dinosaurs, New Water Tracking Satellites, and Pretty Pictures

Monday Musings: As Time Goes By

We finally got to see it this week.
