Who ACTUALLY Won Whose Line Is It Anyway?Watching the hilarious comedy improv show Whose Line is it Anyway for the past three decades has taught us one thing: everything IS made up and the points don't matter. But what if they _did_ actually matter? Throughout every season of the show, who would be Drew Carey and Aisha Tyler's ACTUAL winners? And how many points would he or she have earned?

Or should we set him free? - Pomni Wants to DELETE Humanity?! (The Amazing Digital Circus)E24
Pomni Wants to DELETE Humanity?! (The Amazing Digital Circus)Just a month ago we revealed the theory that Jax was NOT who you thought. In fact, he was just an evil NPC with a master plan.

And, sure, The Acolyte isn't exactly what we expected or wanted. But, Star Wars isn't _truly_ dead is it? There must be some way to SAVE the franchise... - The Inside Out 2 Emotions Are All WRONG!E28

And, the biggest question of all, is Marvel's $100M gamble worth it? - I SOLVED The Book of Bill! (Gravity Falls)E35
