With Bailey Hemphill starting to finally hit like her old self and the pitching staff looking ridiculously good, the Crimson Tide appears to be in good shape for the SEC gauntlet that lies ahead. Unexpectedly, several freshmen will be key to the Tide’s success this year. GAME 1: ALABAMA 9, KENT STATE 1 (6 innings) Lexi Kilfoyl (7-0) was once again solid, pitching 6 innings for a 2-hit, 7-strikeout win. She did not walk any opposing batters and the one run allowed was unearned. KSU countered with Jessica LeBeau (1-2) who actually pitched a pretty decent game but her defense let her down. ...

“No, coronavirus is NOT like The Stand,” the author wrote of his 1978 novel about a superflu that wipes out most of humanity and the moral stand the survivors make afterward. “It’s not anywhere near as serious. It’s eminently survivable. Keep calm and take all reasonable precautions.” I’ve often wondered since whether King has thought differently about that statement, through a year when most Americans have been confined to their homes, watching the death toll from COVID-19 rise around the globe into the millions.  I wondered this again while watching The Stand, the CBS All...

Screenshot: CBS All Access The Stand. I really liked parts of it, and I bounced hard off other parts. But I think the moment that sums the show up best is that, towards the end of the series, there’s a scene where a character has sex with the Devil. The Devil usually appears as Alexander Skarsgård (exactly how I would appear if I were the Devil) but while the two character are having sex, his usual glamour slips a little, and the scene flashes between a romantic scenario in a rose petal-strewn hotel room with a naked Skarsgard, and some gross and rather violent writhing in a desert, which...

The Stand arrived on Thursday with "The Circle Closes", a "coda" to the iconic story written by King himself. The episode was billed as being a new ending to the saga, a version of the story that King had been wanting to tell for three decades so, even going into things fans expected a unique experience. However, with a few details of the main story left after last week's "The Stand", there are still enough elements of the novel to compare to how they're approached in the episode -- and the overall ending requires a little bit of explanation as well for what it changes and does not change fro...

spoilers from the Season 1 of "The Stand," including its finale. If you watched all nine episodes of the CBS All Access remake of "The Stand" . . . why? Why did you do that to yourself? This is not a facetious query, I swear. I'm asking because I wanted to understand why you willingly subjected yourself to nine hours of a series that established its predictability and mediocrity by the third episode. You experienced the stupidity of this version's Trashcan Man as interpreted by an actor who really should know better, Ezra Miller. Miller took one of the better-known characters from Stephen K...
