I guess Ebert's not coming back to TV, though.
Aw, shucks. I will miss him. He's not the same in print.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I do think he's a good read, though. He's sometimes so wrong-headed I want to smack him, but I appreciate him for being really good for the kind of critic he is. He looks terrible though! I hope that's just his recovery showing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
He looks terrible though! I hope that's just his recovery showing.
That's his new jaw - he pretty much had to have the lower half of his face rebuilt from scratch, and the surgeons didn't quite get the chin right.

Nevermind. I went back and read the article...which helps so much with comprehension!
As I first looked at the photo of Ebert and his wife, I thought to myself, "She looks like an angel." Then, in the article, he calls her 'my angelic wife.' Funny sometimes, how you can judge a book by its cover.
Bless them both.

Oh, I've been avoiding the gory details. Yeah, that pretty much makes sense. Yikes!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The weird part is, apparently while they were revising his face they gave him lasik. Because I haven't seen him once with his glasses on since the whole cancer saga began, and that is the part that makes me unable to recognize him.
(Maybe they revised his ears so he can't wear glasses any more?)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Maybe he wears them on the show to read the teleprompter. I wouldn't imagine someone his age getting Lasik, since it can't fix presbyopia.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Maybe he wears them on the show to read the teleprompter.
I'd noticed it too, in earlier pics I've seen of his new face -- my thought was "maybe he actually prefers contacts, but wore the glasses on TV because it was always such a part of his look".

After everything he's been through, I could see him saying, screw the image, from here on out comfort is the key.
