Despite watching what happened with Jimmy Kimmel not even five seconds ago, Apple TV has decided it would be a great idea to yank the release of Jessica Chastain’s new series The Savant just days before its premiere. Why? Well, Chastain’s character “infiltrates online hate groups in an effort to stop large-scale attacks of domestic terrorism.” You can immediately guess who that will offend, so Apple went ahead and capitulated in advance by postponing the show until a “future date.” This sort of thing worked out so well for Disney.

Wicherwill needs everyone to know that with Brandon Sanderson’s Isles of the Emberdark, dragons have entered the Cosmere. “However, this is the second time that some truly world-shattering truths have been shared via short-ish novel that isn’t part of any larger series, and I wonder about our ability to forgive Sanderson for doing so…” Do you have a favorite place in the Cosmere universe?
