Dear Santa, It’s hard to believe it is time to write another one of these letters.  It seems like I did just a few issues ago.  It’s been a crazy year. Of course you’d know that what with you seeing us while you’re sleeping and knowing when we’re awake.  We all  thought you used elves for that until Mr. Snowden showed us all how the trick was done. Anyway, I've been too busy with school work and finally getting to see Farscape in order to be that bad this year.  There were one or two small things but nothing out of the ordinary.  I certainly wasn’t as bad I was the year I raised all kinds of hell and still got plenty of Ninja Turtles figures. Much like the past few years, I’d prefer if most of my friends put toys in the toy drive boxes since I’m more or less guaranteed a nice Christmas.  A lot of kids aren't.  Reading all those comic books there is a part of me that wants to put on a disguise and save the day.  And like I said before, that’s the closest I can come. Now for the crazy list of stuff that I want . . . that I know you can’t actually help with. I want Groo vs. Conan to finally get finished and ready to go.  Otherwise I’ll think all those press releases Mark Evanier has posted over the years have been part of some really elaborate prank and he’s taken us all for the fools we are. I want you to put a stop to the proposed ‘It’s a Wonderful Life 2’ by any means necessary and I do mean any means necessary.   Burn down sets, make sure everyone gets the runs so it becomes easier for George Bailey’s Great-Great-Grandson to shoot Potter’s distant relation than to have a long conservation at the new building and loan.   You could even put Rudolph’s radioactive droppings in the pudding cart of the craft services area.  Just make sure this movie does not happen. I want a bobble head of Larry Fine.   I don’t want Moe, Shemp, Curly, Joe DeRita or Joe Besser . . . just Larry.  He’s the only Stooge I really liked.   You just needed the other guys around because his entire style of comedy is based around reaction and not action. Maybe you or your next door neighbor Kal-El could fly around the world, gather up all the nuclear missiles and throw them into the sun.  On second thought- maybe that’s not such a good idea. Convince all your friends to watch Almost Human.  Yeah, the first pilot had a lot of similarities to Isaac Asimov’s The Caves of Steel,  however once you get past the twenty minute mark the story begins spinning on its head a little in ways that are more reminiscent some of the best buddy cop shows ever made. Make Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. improve faster.  Yes, I know it is a Joss Whedon show and those always take at least a year to find themselves and when they do they are fantastic.  We’re at the 2/3 mark of the season and it has gone from ho-hum to very good.   However consider the sandbox this show should have been amazing.  It’s still better than NCIS without Ziva or Cait but then again so is Battlestar 1980. I couldn't get seats to Mythbusters Live this year.  How about you give me a job in your mail room.  I have plenty of experience and am great at it.  Then I’ll have plenty of money for next year.  Or get me a job in M-5’s mail room.  Then I could really see Mythbusters Live. I want a bacon cheeseburger, hold the pickles, add some Portobello mushrooms and a little bit of barbecue sauce.  Pretzel bun optional. New pillows.  The ones on my bed are about 15 years old and are kind of hard and warn out. I want Peter Parker to be Spider-Man again.   Your Friend, Jess Willey Age 33
