Jurassic Park III was released on July 18, 2001. Even though it received mostly negative reviews from critics and was a watershed for many fans, it was a moderate success, giving a green light to the production of a fourth film. At the time when Jurassic Park IV was being developed, the producers realized the lack of interest from fans for new films, because in the first 3 films, the story was always the same.

To give you an idea, the story of the 3 films were always about isolated incidents on some island inhabited by dinosaurs, where the protagonists tried to survive without the slightest chance of defending themselves from the dinosaurs, in which the characters just ran away and hid from them. In short, it only released the famous and feared "more of the same" in theaters, much to the chagrin of fans.

Due to this problem, the producers realized that the franchise needed to reinvent itself and that the new film needed to bring some new features. Either that or a reboot for the franchise, and apparently the producers opted for the first option. In November 2002, William Monahan was hired to write the first script for the fourth film, where the script had been completed in 2003.

To this day, not much is known about this script and William Monahan's version of Jurassic Park IV, what is known is a leaked synopsis and rumors behind this script. According to the synopsis, the story was supposed to be set 12 years after the events of the first film in the franchise, in which dinosaurs became urban legends around the world.

Yes, all the events of the previous films are now considered legends by many people, where people claim that dinosaurs never came back to life (Something similar with the story of the second film in the franchise, where Ian Malcolm and the other characters from the first film were called crazy since no one believed them and the supposed dinosaur park that gone wrong).

However, small unidentified lizard-like creatures appear on the mainland of Costa Rica, wreaking havoc everywhere. A team of experts led by Alan Grant and Ian Malcolm went to investigate the alleged sightings of these unknown animals on an island in Costa Risca and try to find out what is going on.

Later, the team of experts would discover that dinosaurs are migrating to the continent and are reproducing at an alarming rate all over the world, threatening the lives of many people around the world. Now the team is tasked with finding a way to curb the dinosaurs' spread and prevent an ecological disaster.

The actors who were confirmed to return were Sam Neill (Alan Grant), Jeff Goldblum (Ian Malcolm) and Richard Attenborough (John Hammond). There was the possibility that actress Laura Dern would return to play Ellie Sattler, who would probably be one of the protagonists of the film (unlike JP3, where she only had a cameo in the film).

According to rumors at the time, there was the possibility of the script implementing DX in the plot, implying that JP4 would be the last film in the franchise. For those who don't know, in the second book written by Michael Crichton, it is revealed that InGen fed the dinosaurs with sheep infected with a prion disease, which made the life of the dinosaurs much shorter than normal. According to Ian Malcolm, one of the protagonists of the novel, this will lead to the extinction of the island's dinosaurs.

If these rumors are true, it's unclear how DX would be implemented in the story. Would the protagonists create a virus to try to eliminate the dinosaur population on the planet? Or would dinosaurs be infected by the DX virus and infect the entire world population, increasing the possibility of humanity becoming extinct?

In addition, other rumors said that there was also the possibility of the film having a new dinosaur to be the villain of the story, where many fans believed that this dinosaur would be the Giganotosaurus, but until today, nobody knows about it. It is a pity that until today not much is known about this script, since it is a mystery in the franchise. What is also known is that actors Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum read the script and liked it a lot.

Including, Sam Neill said that this was the best story he has ever seen in the franchise. Furthermore, to further reinforce the alleged leak of that synopsis, it was confirmed at that time that the script's story was no longer set in the jungle or even on one of the islands. This also only confirms what I said: The franchise needed to reinvent itself to get fans interested in the franchise again, as it only released more of the same in theaters.

The producers and others who were involved in the project were very excited about the film and believed that this film would expand the mythology of the franchise. Stan Winston's studio was going to participate in the film, and Winston wanted the practical effects to be more advanced than in previous films, an example of this was creating Velociraptor animatronics with internal motors providing better control and movement. Winston was also interested in adapting several scenes from the two Michael Crichton books.

Spielberg and the entire team were confident in Monahan's script. According to insiders at the time, the film would release in the winter of 2005 in the USA, probably in November or December of that year. Unfortunately, in the same year that the script had been completed, William Monahan abandoned the project for the fourth film, as he went to work on the film Kingdom of Heaven, by Ridley Scott.

And oddly enough, this film ended up winning an Oscar for best screenplay, that is, William Monahan was a badass guy and ideal to save the franchise (Or not, because just because such a film won an Oscar does not mean that the film in yes it's really good and I've seen bad movies win an Oscar, but ok). After the first screenwriter left the project, the producers had to bring in another screenwriter to come up with a new script for the movie and that's how it works, folks.

It was from there that Steven Spielberg (Or Uncle Spielberg for the intimate), director of the first two films of the franchise, had a terribly crazy idea of militarized dinosaurs and being used as weapons, but his version of the idea was much more fanciful. And what's worse is that he thought the kids would love this idea, holy shit!

To make matters worse, in April 2003, Spielberg and the other producers were looking for screenwriters to write a new script that was based on Uncle Spielberg's "brilliant" idea, where they later called infamous screenwriter John Sayles to create the new script for the movie. For those who don't know, John Sayles was the screenwriter of the films Piranha (1978) and The Howling (1981), that is, he specializes in creating horror B films. And that's how that terrible script proposed for the fourth film came about of the franchise, written by John Sayles.

I even made five fanarts of this script, where I imagined what Jurassic Park IV would be like if John Sayles' script had been approved at the time it was written. I posted all the fanarts from this script on Deviantart if you want to check it out later, but soon I will post these fanarts here on Tumblr. Anyway, it's a shame that William Monahan left the project at that time, as his script looked very promising. If he hadn't abandoned the project, surely the Jurassic World trilogy would never have existed and the real JP4 would have been released 17 years ago.

Also, surely Monahan's JP4 would be infinitely better than Jurassic World: Dominion, which was colossal shit! Seriously, I really hate that stinky garbage they call a movie! That monstrosity was a huge disappointment not only to me, but also to most fans of the franchise. How could they waste so many opportunities to explore amazing ideas and concepts just to explore the ridiculous idea of mutated grasshoppers?! One of the things I really wanted to see in Dominion is precisely the idea of dinosaurs on the continent.

But instead of the film exploring this concept and the fact that dinosaurs are indeed a threat to our planet's ecosystem, the asshole director simply chose to explore the stupid idea of mutated insects being a threat to the planet. And he still had the audacity to insist on the illusion that dinosaurs and humans can coexist in complete harmony, when this would be impossible. Do you really think that dinosaurs were never a threat and that we humans can coexist with them? Of course not!

Dinosaurs are indeed a threat to us, because they are an invasive species, just like the invasion of Asian giant hornets in some countries. In case you didn't know, if a living being is taken from its natural habitat and is introduced in a place where it never originated, it can end up with the flora, fauna and entire ecosystem of that place it invaded.

As in the movie dinosaurs invaded the continent, can you imagine the consequences of this? There would probably be an ecological disaster and we would all be screwed! The movie would be more interesting if it explored this, because the idea of dinosaurs on the continent is much more interesting than the shitty idea of locusts being a threat to humans, but unfortunately it was wasted. It is for these and other reasons that this film and director Colin Trevorrow earned my total dislike.

But anyway, leaving my disappointment aside, last week I had the idea of making a fanart of the script written by Monahan and on March 21 of this year I finally managed to finish the fanart.

When I drew the characters, I had to choose the characters that were featured in the script and those characters are (L to R): Ian Malcolm, Ellie Sattler (Center) and Alan Grant. To draw them, I tried to base myself on the appearance of the actors Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern and Sam Neill, but apparently it didn't work out very well, lol.

When I went to draw Ian Malcolm, I tried to base myself on Jeff Goldblum from The Lost World: Jurassic Park, but in his case, it really didn't work out very well, because my version of the character doesn't look like the actor at all. A total FAIL!

Ellie Sattler was the same thing, I tried to base myself on Laura Dern from Jurassic World: Dominion, but unlike Ian and Alan, she at least resembles the actress.

As for Alan Grant, I tried to base myself on Sam Neill numerous times, but it never worked. As I didn't want to make the same mistake when I drew Ian, I had the idea of being inspired by a fanart of the actor, so I was inspired by a fanart made by DanaNicolesDrawings, a talented artist here on Tumblr.

So all the credit for Alan's design goes to her and if you want to know her work, click here: https://dananicolesdrawings.tumblr.com/

The dinosaurs that are in my fanart are (From left to right on the top row): Giganotosaurus, Velociraptor (Center), T. Rex, Brachiosaurus and Parasaurolophus. To draw them, I based them on how they looked in the movies. As for Giganotosaurus, I had based myself on its appearance from the game Dino Crisis 2. To draw the logo, I reused the logo from my fanarts of Sayles' script, but I made some changes for the logo to be different, such as the number four in Roman numerals, where here the number is literally equal to the letters of the logo, while the number four of the other logo is similar to the number three of JP3.

Well, I hope you liked the fanart I made of this first alternate version of Jurassic Park IV before it became Jurassic World.

ignore this if it doesnt make sense, but if you could build your own team from the current flyers and habs who would be in your lineup??

no that absolutely makes sense!! sorry this took a while because i actually put a somewhat sad amount of thought into it.

here are my rules: i'm just going to do an actual four line / three pair / two goalie lineup as opposed to like a full 23 man roster (i did keep a 7d because his vibes are good) because it's easier but uhhh. this is still pretty dire lmao. i picked on a combination of vibes and skill but like... well.

also i'm giving them marty as a coach and not torts so i put some of the flyers forwards on their offsides since that's how he likes to play them.

i didn't take anyone who's still technically a prospect and hasn't played nhl games this season (so no justin barron or cam york etc), and i also didn't take anyone off of LTIR because idk when they're playing again (so unfortunately, no paul byron, no coots, no ellis, no wade allison or bobby brink).

anyway, the flabs:

caufield - suzuki - dach slafkovský - monahan - farabee konecny - dvorak - anderson tippett - evans - laughton

guhle - matheson harris - kovacevic xhekaj - edumundson zamula

For the week of 14 October 2019

Quick Bits:

Absolute Carnage #4 is pretty damn big as we head towards the conclusion. Donny Cates, Ryan Stegman, JP Mayer, Jay Leisten, Frank Martin, and Clayton Cowles set up near insurmountable odds for Eddie and Spider-Man to face, as Carnage inches closer to victory. It’s very daunting, especially as we potentially see hope fade as other dominoes fall into place. Though a shock revelation might lead to something good for the conclusion. The tension mounting and the continued blend of the rest of the tie-ins to the main story are very entertaining.

| Published by Marvel

Absolute Carnage: Avengers #1 gives us a lead-in to how the previously symbiote-afflicted heroes got to Venom in Absolute Carnage #3 in addition to a bit about beacons in New York and San Francisco calling all symbiotes to feed something. It’s more elaboration on some details between panels for the event, but it’s rather entertaining and covers an element that was otherwise glossed over in the main series. Great art from Alberto Alburquerque, Guiu Vilanova, and Rachelle Rosenberg.

| Published by Marvel

Aquaman #53 reveals more about Thomas Mauer and his history in the founding of Amnesty, complete with some really weird powers regarding manifesting beasties. Then, a reunion of Arthur and Mera is basically aborted as Black Manta attack. Kelly Sue DeConnick, Robson Rocha, Eduardo Pansica, Daniel Henriques, Julio Ferreira, Sunny Gho, and Clayton Cowles continue to deliver one of the best stories from DC.

| Published by DC Comics

Archie #708 sees everything start to come together as all of the disparate story threads begin to converge somehow with Fox Forest. Nick Spencer, Mariko Tamaki, Sandy Jarrell, Matt Herms, and Jack Morelli really build tension here, with a rather spooky feel for what’s going on.

| Published by Archie Comics

Batman #81 continues this next stage of Batman’s assault on the “City of Bane” as all of his “kids” work together to try to take down his father and he attempts to bring the fight to Bane himself. Tom King guides us through a narration essentially putting together some of the missing pieces in Gotham Girl’s story and further protections that he left in the city after Batman’s “breaking”.

| Published by DC Comics

Bettie Page Unbound #5 serves as a coda to the first arc, from David Avallone, Moy R, Ellie Wright, Sheelagh D, and Taylor Esposito. It gives a bit of perspective on Bettie’s trip through alternate realities, while dealing a bit more with the spies who’ve been chasing her.

| Published by Dynamite

The Black Ghost #2 is firing on all cylinders. The story that Alex Segura, Monica Gallagher, George Kambadais, Ellie Wright, and Taylor Esposito are telling here is incredibly compelling, going deep into Lara’s downward spiral following the death of the Black Ghost and all of the mounting problems in her life. There’s a very interesting theme of the intersection of solving a mystery and obsession, complete with the black hole of alcoholism, that just grabs you.

| Published by New Wave Comics

Black Panther and the Agents of Wakanda #2 concludes this opening arc from Jim Zub, Lan Medina, Craig Yeung, Marcio Menyz, and Joe Sabino. We get an interesting mix of Okoye and Janet facing their greatest fears, while elaborating further on the current state of the Sentry. I like this quick, two-part introductory arc structure, further giving this title the feel of a specialized group for certain threats.

| Published by Marvel

Captain Marvel #11 concludes the “Falling Star” arc, revealing more fallout from the first arc and the sheer damage that it’s done to Ripley after she fell into the Nuclear Man’s reality. Kelly Thompson, Carmen Carnero, Tamra Bonvillain, and Clayton Cowles develop a rather demented look on “heroism” here that is quite disturbing.

| Published by Marvel

Chastity #2 unveils more of the human trafficking operation that Chastity has found herself in. It’s not very pretty, but there are some nice funny moments to break up the dark subject matter. Leah Williams, David Maine, Bryan Valenza, and Carlos M. Mangual are telling an interesting story here.

| Published by Dynamite

Contagion #3 continues to escalate the terror of the fungus plaguing New York, and now possibly beyond. There are appearances here of some very interesting near forgotten characters that are nice to see. Great art from Mack Chater, Stephen Segovia, Veronica Gandini, and Andrew Crossley.

| Published by Marvel

Cult Classic: Creature Feature #1 is an interesting start to this second series. You don’t need to have read Return to Whisper before this, but I still highly recommend that series. Here Eliot Rahal, John Bivens, Jerrie, Monahan, and Taylor Esposito kick off a rather hectic beginning with alien creatures. The art from Bivens, Jerrie, and Monahan is wonderful.

| Published by Vault

Dark Red #7 continues to develop the current state of the vampires after taking out the Nazis who were trying to take over, while Chip works to get the little were back to her werepeople. Definitely an interesting society that Tim Seeley, Corin Howell, Mark Englert, and Carlos M. Mangual are creating here.

| Published by AfterShock

Excellence #6 concludes the first arc in rather spectacular fashion. Brandon Thomas, Khary Randolph, Emilio Lopez, and Deron Bennett have been doing some excellent character and world-building in this story and it really pays off here as we get a confrontation between Spencer and his dad, followed by one hell of a revelation that practically changes everything. Great stuff here.

| Published by Image / Skybound

Gideon Falls #17 begins “The Pentoculus” as things start to coalesce again into a sort of “normalcy” in both of our “main” Gideon Falls realities, even as something horrible takes hold of Sheriff Miller’s father. Jeff Lemire, Andrea Sorrentino, Dave Stewart, and Steve Wands establish even more horror here and the feeling that something more is very, very wrong.

| Published by Image

Guardians of the Galaxy #10 catches up with the new baby Magus as we find out that the new incarnation might be as dangerous and deadly as the earlier ones. Also, what Donny Cates is doing with Rocket just cuts to the core.

| Published by Marvel

Hit Girl: Season 2 #9 is the first part of “India” from Peter Milligan, Alison Sampson, Tríona Farrell, and Clem Robins. It sends Mindy off to the street of Mumbai where she’s trying to deal with a bizarre child trafficking/labour ring, and finding out that her actions may have caused more complications than good. There’s a very different feel to this new arc so far.

| Published by Image

Inferior 5 #2 sure is...something. I’m still not entirely sure of the experiments or the characters or the setting, but Jeff Lemire, Keith Giffen, Michelle Delecki, Hi-Fi, and Rob Leigh are doing something that might be interesting here when we see a broader picture. It’s very “huh?” issue to issue so far. The back-up featuring Peacemaker, though, continues to be very compelling. Especially as it reveals that he may well be completely insane.

| Published by DC Comics

The Island of Doctor Moreau #2 concludes this adaptation of the HG Wells story from Ted Adams, Gabriel Rodríguez, Nelson Dániel, and Robbie Robbins. Other than a few minor changes, it’s fairly faithful to the original. The story here is mostly told in double page spreads from Rodríguez and Dániel and they’re absolutely beautiful.

| Published by IDW

Justice League #34 reminds us that revenge isn’t necessarily the correct path to take all the time, or possibly any time, as the endgame plays out across the different timelines and the combined forces gather for one final push against Perpetua. Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Bruno Redondo, Howard Porter, Hi-Fi, and Tom Napolitano lay out a wonderful tale of the final battle and a stupid, selfish act that has possibly doomed everything.

| Published by DC Comics

Killer Groove #5 concludes what has been an excellent crime tale from Ollie Masters, Eoin Marron, Jordie Bellaire, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. There’s an incredible nihilism here that feeds into a very fitting end.

| Published by AfterShock

KI-6: Killers #4 gains a bit of a title change with the “KI-6″ bit in this penultimate issue of the series. Not really sure why, but it doesn’t ultimately make a difference for the story being told by B. Clay Moore, Fernando Dagnino, José Villarrubia, and Jeff Powell. We get a nice bit of the Jonin’s history before the two rival groups of former Ninjas show up.

| Published by Valiant

The Marked #1 begins a new series from the Sonata team of David Hine, Brian Haberlin, Geirrod Van Dyke, and Francis Takenaga. It blends magic and tattoos as we learn of the history of a group of magicians who have defended the world from evil through the eyes of their newest recruit Saskia. Beautiful art as usual from the Haberlin/Van Dyke team.

| Published by Image / Shadowline

The Mask: I Pledge Allegiance to the Mask #1 is kind of a strange return for the property, in a story from Christopher Cantwell, Patric Reynolds, Lee Loughridge, and Nate Piekos. It’s dark and deranged, which fits very well overall. While it does follow on from the previous stories, all that you really need to know to enjoy this story itself is revealed here. The political element adds an even greater feeling of being put off-balance.

| Published by Dark Horse

Midnight Vista #2 very nicely develops what Oliver remembers of his abduction and the fallout that has been happening in the ensuing years since he’s been missing. Eliot Rahal, Clara Meath, Mark Englert, and Taylor Esposito are doing some interesting things here, especially as other forces are trying to guide Oliver’s story.

| Published by AfterShock

Psi-Lords #5 elaborates a bit further on the societal structure of the Gyre and the various gangs on it, while we see one of the Starwatchers try to turn Steve. It’s interesting as we get a little bit that gives us more of an insight into the ties to the broader Valiant Universe here and some very nice character building. Renato Guedes art remains phenomenal.

| Published by Valiant

Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons - Chapter II: Painscape #2 guides us through some of Rick’s history with D&D, creating some horrible characters that anyone who’s played the game will be familiar with, and an entertaining dungeon crawl. I’m still loving how perfectly Jim Zub, Troy Little, Leonardo Ito, and Crank! are integrating D&D into Rick and Morty.

| Published by Oni Press & IDW

Rumble #17 follows a similar format as last issue’s selection of three stories, only this time there are only two stories, with one split between two different creators. That two-part story is a wonderful crossover between Rumble and Head Lopper, with Andrew MacLean and James Harren handling the line art. It’s pretty great overall, with a natural melding of the two properties, and very nice to see Harren’s return. 

| Published by Image

Savage Sword of Conan #10 begins a new arc from Roy Thomas, Alan Davis, Cam Smith, Chris Sotomayor, and Travis Lanham. It’s wonderful to see a new Roy Thomas story and the art from Davis, Smith, and Sotomayor is great. The story itself is interesting, drawing from some traditional Conan elements of a tavern fight and being hired as a bodyguard.

| Published by Marvel

Savage Tales: Red Sonja Halloween Special is essential if you’re reading the ongoing Red Sonja series. It works well on its own as well, but for readers of the series it builds on Sonja’s trip to the tower of sorcerers in her youth and gives some great insight into her past. Wonderful work here overall from Mark Russell, Jacob Edgar, Dearbhla Kelly, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou.

| Published by Dynamite

Something is Killing the Children #2 is even better than the first issue, fleshing out our monster hunter a bit and causing all sorts of complications for her. There are some great characterizations here, nicely capturing some of the reactions from people experiencing the tragedy of a lost or murdered family member. James Tynion IV, Werther Dell’Edera, Miquel Muerto, and AndWorld Design are doing something great here.

| Published by BOOM! Studios

Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader’s Castle #3 gives us a central story of Ventress hunting a quarry, illustrated by Nick Brokenshire. I’m still very much enjoying how Cavan Scott is using the central tale and its context to elaborate on what he, Francesco Francavilla, and AndWorld Design are doing with the framing story.

| Published IDW

Steeple #2 features all of the charm and humour of Giant Days, but then adds some rather over-the-top supernatural elements that just manages to elevate that charm and humour further. John Allison, Sarah Stern, and Jim Campbell are delivering a rather wholesome look at monster hunting and finding common ground with your local hooligans and Satanists.

| Published by Dark Horse

Strayed #3 advances towards oblivion, as Lou finds the flower-maker and the Premier enacts another piece of his plan for total control. Carlos Giffoni, Juan Doe, and Matt Krotzer continue to tell the heartbreaking tale of this brave little kitty being used and abused by his humans. It’s really sad as to how monstrous humanity is.

| Published by Dark Horse

Superman Smashes the Klan #1 is really damn good. Inspired by the radio serial of the same name, Gene Luen Yang, Gurihiru, and Janice Chiang present a wonderfully nuanced tale of the struggle that a young Chinese family have moving to Metropolis and the overt and casual racism that greets them. The characterizations of the family are impeccable, giving us what feels like very real people, and it makes the story even more heartbreaking when you see what’s happening to them. Especially through the gorgeous art from the Gurihiru pair.

| Published by DC Comics

Tales from the Dark Multiverse - Batman: Knightfall #1 is the first of these one-shots examining some of the most popular events of the DC Universe as they played out in dark reflection. Your enjoyment of this will definitely be predicated on how much you enjoy the grim and gritty Batmen who went wrong during Metal. As a story, though, Scott Snyder, Kyle Higgins, Javier Fernandez, Alex Guimarães, and Clayton Cowles give us an interesting one, with some nice twists, and a suitably bleak Gotham. The art from Fernandez and Guimarães is really good.

| Published by DC Comics

Teen Titans #35 gives us new perspective on the traitor to the team, with Adam Glass, Bernard Chang, Marcelo Maiolo, and Rob Leigh building up sympathy for their decisions, even if they are somewhat demented. It also continues to point that what Damian has been doing is rather villainous. The shades of grey are fairly interesting.

| Published by DC Comics

Trees: Three Fates #2 delves a bit more into the mystery of the dead man and also a great depiction in the past of the romance blossoming between Klara and Sasha. Warren Ellis, Jason Howard, Dee Cunniffe, and Fonografiks are building a very compelling story here, complete with some interesting big ideas to make you wonder about Sasha.

| Published by Image

Vampirella #4 is still rather odd, told in a rather disjointed way that’s pretty much Priest’s style to its natural extreme. Weird stuff with the nuns and all sorts of temptation. The art from Ergün Gündüz remains a huge draw for this story.

| Published by Dynamite

X-Men #1 begins the first wave of the “Dawn of X” titles in this next stage of the brave new world the X-Men have found themselves in, from Jonathan Hickman, Leinil Francis Yu, Garry Alanguilan, Sunny Gho, and Clayton Cowles. It’s much more “normal” compared to the HOXPOX event, operating more standard hero/villain conflict and setting up the continued threat of Orchis, but there are still moments to bask in the new with Magneto and the potentially unsettling as we see Corsair react to all of his family together and the strangeness of Krakoa. This feels like a way to make more traditional X-elements work within this new framework, giving us a great start.

Katie Couric reveals she has been diagnosed with breast cancer

New Post has been published on https://medianwire.com/katie-couric-reveals-she-has-been-diagnosed-with-breast-cancer/

Katie Couric reveals she has been diagnosed with breast cancer

Katie Couric has shared that she is being treated for breast cancer after being diagnosed in June.

The former TODAY co-anchor shared her journey in a first-person essay on her Katie Couric Media website after revealing in an Instagram post on Sept. 28 that she has breast cancer.

“Every two minutes, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States,” she wrote on Instagram. “On June 21st, I became one of them. As we approach #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, I wanted to share my personal story with you all and encourage you to get screened and understand that you may fall into a category of women who needs more than a mammogram.”

Couric, 65, details in her essay how she reacted after learning on her eighth wedding anniversary in June that she had breast cancer.

“I felt sick and the room started to spin,” she wrote. “I was in the middle of an open office, so I walked to a corner and spoke quietly, my mouth unable to keep up with the questions swirling in my head.”

She wrote that she underwent surgery in July and began radiation treatments on Sept. 7.

Couric also described the “suspended animation feeling” of learning she had breast cancer after having endured the death of her first husband, Jay Monahan, from colon cancer at 42, as well as the deaths of her sister at 54 from pancreatic cancer and her mother-in-law from ovarian cancer. Her mother and father also had a history with cancer.

“My mood quickly shifted from disbelief to resignation,” she wrote. “Given my family’s history of cancer, why would I be spared? My reaction went from ‘Why me?’ to ‘Why not me?'”

She also recalled when she broke the news to her daughters, Ellie, 31, and Carrie, 26, about her illness.

“Finally, four days after I was diagnosed, I FaceTimed each of them,” she wrote. “I tried to be as reassuring as Dr. Newman. Their faces froze in disbelief. Then shock. Then they began to cry. ‘Don’t worry,’ I told Carrie then Ellie, ‘I’m going to be fine,’ trying to convince myself as well as them.

“They’d already lost one parent. The idea of losing another was unfathomable.”

Couric wrote that she has no history of breast cancer in her family, which led her to discover that 85% of the 264,000 U.S. women who are diagnosed with breast cancer every year have no family history of the illness.

Couric underwent a lumpectomy on July 14 at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. Her doctors said she was able to forego chemotherapy because the chances of her cancer returning are low, but she still needed radiation treatments.

“I was warned that I may be fatigued and my skin may turn a little pink,” she wrote. “Yesterday was my final round. My left breast does look like I’ve been sunbathing topless, but other than that, I’ve felt fine.”

Just like her first husband’s death prompted her to be a spokesperson for getting colonoscopies to catch colon cancer early, her breast cancer journey has motivated her to urge other women to make sure to get their regular exams.

“Please get your annual mammogram,” she wrote. “I was six months late this time. I shudder to think what might have happened if I had put it off longer. But just as importantly, please find out if you need additional screening.”

‘The Boys Season 2’ Release date, cast, plot and more

The Boys is one of the most intriguing Amazon Prime Original. With Season 1 already winning the hearts of the audience, Season 2 is on the verge of release making it one of the most anticipated shows in 2020.

The show is based on Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s comic book with the same name, The Boys. The show is developed by Eric Kripke and it digs into the fictional society and shows the bizarre connection between our superheroes and civilians.

The Creator gave a post-production update from lockdown, giving an idea about the release date and it seems that’s going to happen very soon.

Eric posted a tweet, stating,

“I get asked a lot, so #TheBoysTV update: finishing #Season2 remotely. Still some VFX & sound to do, but we’re SO CLOSE! Airdate (& other cool shit) will be announced SOON!”

What the show is all about:

The show is all about being anti-villain but in this case, the villains are superheroes.

It follows a team of vigilantes fighting against superheroes who abuse their power and are controlled by evil powerful corporation Vought International who monetizes and markets them.

The series majorly focuses on two groups: The Seven, Vought International’s premier superhero team, and The Boys, vigilantes who are fighting against the superheroes.

The Boys are led by Billy Butcher, and the Seven are led by the Homelander.

The Boys Season 2 Trailer :

The official trailer hasn’t been released yet. The official Teaser that got released doesn’t reveal much about the plot of the show. But on the contrary, it does show much violence and bloodshed of the characters.

Predictably the show see seems to start off right where it got left with evil Homelander revealing a super-powered son, and Hughie saving the life of speedster A-Train.

What’s yet to come :

The creators revealed the titles of all the episodes of The Boys on the WGA website. The titles don’t seem to reveal much but it still gives some idea about the show.

Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker – Craig Rosenberg

Nothing Like It In The World – Michael Saltzman

Over The Hill With The Swords Of A Thousand Men – Craig Rosenberg

Proper Preparation and Planning – Rebecca Sonnenshine

The Big Ride – Eric Kripke

The Bloody Doors Off – Anslem Richardson

We Gotta Go Now – Ellie Monahan

What I Know – Rebecca Sonnenshine

Much of the story will invariably be the aftermath of season one. At the end of season one, Homelander dropped Billy Butcher on the lawn of his wife, Becca, who he presumed dead. Instead, she has a family with Homelander, including their superpowered son.

The death of Madelyn Stillwell will be important for season 2’s story, for obvious reasons. CEO of Vought International, Mr Edgar, seems to be appearing for around four to five episodes.  We can expect at least one new villain to be included in this new season. Stormfront, a kind of Thor/Shazam mash-up who’s gender-flipped from the comics. We can’t tell if she’ll be a villain or not yet…

The Boys season 2 Cast:

The cast can be expected mostly the same. Unless there’s no new character being launched.

Karl Urban

Jack Quaid

Antony Starr

Erin Moriarty

Dominique McElligott

Jessie T. Usher

Laz Alonso

Chace Crawford

Tomer Capon

Is There Any Release Date Yet:

The release date seems to close, as the sources said. It seems that the show will be premiered around mid-2020, as the shoot got wrapped up around November, 2019.

It seems that we all have to wait a little bit more for our favourite shows as this pandemic situation has brought a halt worldwide, affecting shooting, post-production, promotion etc.

Seyary’s current Gladiator playlist

For once, properly organized and separated into parts and in relative chronological order (well, while possible). The main songs of each arc will be in bold, they’re usually the ones listed first with each arc, but I’m going to highlight them that way just in case they’re not the first after all. Not every single song I’ve been recommended is in here, these are the ones I resort to for inspiration the most (so of course the list will likely change a lot in the future, but at least I wrote it down at last, eh?)

Also, at one point the arc specifications disappear because, uh... yeah. Spoiler territory. So feel free to make wild guesses with everything without specific arcs :’D

I make no excuses for my music taste, don’t like, don’t listen (?)

... I also make no excuses for how much inspirational music there is for Part 3. But do not assume the number of songs correlate to the overall length of each part :’D
