See, re b2, I was told I was overreacting about the Cap is Hydra storyline when it was first announced. - IrishStephen Apr 23, 18:31 19

        Excellent explanation. -- nm - Reagen Apr 23, 19:13 1

    - Did they have anyone say no pictures? there was a guy here at Popcon who was a volunteer... - Remlik Apr 23, 18:46 1

      - I just looked at it again. I sure looks like he knows -- nm - Bacon Apr 23, 18:42 2
        
        If he did, he didn't say anything, and he was very personable when we talked. -- nm - IrishStephen Apr 23, 21:33
        
        Maybe it wasn't Data. Maybe it was Lore. - Beryllium Apr 23, 18:50
