Screenshot : Doom Patrol/HBO Max After a year of tumult at Warner Bros. Discovery, we can be thankful for at least one streaming blessing this holiday season: David Zaslav hasn’t kicked Doom Patrol to the curb...yet. Despite a raft of cancellation rumors this past summer , the weird-as-shit series following DC Comics’ weirdest band of anti-heroes will return for a fourth season on Dec. 8—and the door is still open for more zany adventures to come. If Doom Patrol exists to you only as the show you keep mistaking for The Umbrella Academy , it really is worth watching. It’s crass, over-the-top, and surprisingly touching. If nothing else, it’s one of the best queer-positive, found-family stories on TV that also features Brendan Fraser as a bronzed cyborg. Watch it now before it gets canceled for real and shoved down the streaming memory hole alongside Batgirl. Doom Patrol Season 4 | Official Trailer | HBO Max And speaking of shows that were almost canceled, this month also sees the l...

A China Southern Airlines plane in Colomiers, France, on Nov. 26, 2018. REGIS DUVIGNAU/Reuters China Southern Airlines has scheduled two Boeing 737 Max flights for Friday, its mobile app showed, which if completed would be the first commercial services for the model by a Chinese airline since a March 2019 grounding. The scheduled flights are domestic journeys from the southern city of Guangzhou to Zhengzhou and from Guangzhou to Wuhan, the app showed. China Southern had also initially scheduled a return to commercial service for the 737 Max in October 2022 but did not use it on the planned flights. Boeing BA-N said it would defer to airlines to comment on flight operations, while China Southern did not respond immediately to a request for comment. The 737 Max was grounded in March 2019 following fatal crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia but has returned to service around the world with the exception of China and Russia after modifications to the aircraft and pilot training. Foreign air...

A Boeing Co 737 Max made its first passenger flight in China in nearly four years on Friday, marking a major milestone in the U.S. plane maker’s attempt to rebuild its business in the world’s second-largest aviation market. The China Southern Airlines Co Ltd domestic flight from Guangzhou to Zhengzhou departed at 0445 GMT using a Max plane, according to flight tracking website FlightRadar24. The best-selling Boeing model was grounded in March 2019 after fatal crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia, but returned to service around the world starting in late 2020 after modifications to the aircraft and pilot training. “Boeing continues to work with global regulators and customers to safely return the 737 Max to service worldwide,” the plane maker said. The company’s shares were down about 0.5 per cent in U.S. premarket trading. China is the last major market to resume flying the Max amid ongoing trade tensions with the United States, and the return comes as domestic travel demand rebounds af...

Boeing Co BA-N losses widened for 2022 on weakness in its defense unit as it warned of further supply chain issues, but the U.S. planemaker reported its first yearly positive cash flow since 2018. The U.S. planemaker missed Wall Street expectations on revenue and earnings per share in the final quarter of the year. Boeing shares, which have risen by more than 70% since September, fell 1% Wednesday. Boeing Chief Executive Dave Calhoun told analysts the planemaker still faces “a difficult, difficult supply chain and while average deliveries met our objectives, we continue to face a few too many stoppages in our lines ... So those stoppages, while they are coming down, are not where they need to be.” Chief Financial Officer Brian West said the company was increasing its abnormal accounting estimate by about $600 million as it expects 787 production to remain lower for “a bit longer than expected due to a supplier constraint,” but still expects to raise its production rate to five per mo...
