WandaVision was Lanterns before Lanterns was Lanterns. Now we get Visionquest on the heels of a Lanterns stocking a grounded but acclaimed landing. Will be interesting to see the response to Vision so many years later.

Commanders have me so angry I’m not going to be able to enjoy Lanterns tonight. You know how angry you’ve got to be for that to happen?

To date Lanterns is DC Studios’ crown jewel.
LANTERNS is a bonafide hit:
Per Warner Bros. Discovery, the 3rd episode of the HBO Max/DC show hit a series high, reaching 10 million global viewers (7 million in the US). It's growing its audience weekly.
And since premiering August 16, the pilot episode has amassed over 20 million viewers worldwide and continues to grow.
LANTERNS ranks among the top 5 series launches in platform history, both in the U.S. and globally.

Boz. Nats? Say less.
Attention Nationals fans: The legendary @ThomasBoswellWP made his @washingtonsun debut this morning with a column on the Nats. He'll be contributing to Nats coverage in a way only he can.
I'm giddy. The whole city should be.
