Saturday Night Live's May 4 cold open was a gift. It kept the tired political humor to a bare minimum and focused instead on a different kind of armageddon: the entertainment-pocalypse that sees Game of Thrones and the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it coming to an end in the space of a single month.

This Avengers: Endgame vsGame of Thrones edition of Saturday Night Live's take on the Family Feud game show isn't going to age well. Its jokes hang on very specific references that only fans of one or the other will appreciate.

That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
