I’m not exactly certain what you disagreeing with me about here. I wasn’t arguing against casting Swinton into the role, but that if they make that decision, then chance the environment to match the new casting. Hence changing it from Tibet to Ireland.

Orson Welles.  There are two goddamn Es in his name.  He at least deserved that much respect, even if we must talk about his wine commercials. 

Ah how I miss the days when the site’s writers knew how to spell the surname of one of the greatest film directors ever known.

I don’t think I’ve read Explorers on the Moon, but from the picture above I’m guessing it’s the guy on the left...?

Tintin: The Cold Equations

Ten thousand blistering blue barnacles! Wooah! Wooah! Jews and Chinese people will swarm the Western World! Etc.

Affable stowaways have been awkwardly popping up on spaceships for decades, apparently.

math is unforgiving

I had the same thought in the week prior to this episode - just where the hell that shield came from in the first place.  The best my friends and I could figure was that Cap flat-out stole it from the timeline without regard to the consequences, or that he at some point in the interim leaned on the Wakandans to make…

Oh, he’s definitely killed a lot of snacks. 

Is it possible that John and Lemar hadn’t been assigned to that mission at all? That John went rogue because he wanted to do “real” Captain America stuff rather than half-time shows?
I too thought it odd that he appeared to have no briefings, no backup — and no one to report to, or to answer to. I figured that he had…

Iirc, in the premiere Sam says he’s been working with the Air Force for the last six months.

They are not going to recast T’Challa, but Black Panther is a mantle that can be any number of characters.

Well, I sort of get it, there’s a whole “Avengers” pseudo-legal, pseudo government post-Sokovia Accords, post snap thing. It makes a vague amount of sense.
Walker is clearly a part of the UCMJ chain of command. Sam and Bucky, not so much.
But, yeah, Walker couldn’t have been summarily dismissed (without pay or rank)…

Just Googled it and it looks like you just alert the TSA agent and are able to opt for a pat down search instead. It's not like Bucky's arm has to be a weapon, and it isn't the part of him that makes him the most dangerous (that would be, in order, his training and conditioning, his sarcasm, and the super soldier…

Hell, didn’t they also end up improvising a bunch of it due to the writer’s strike, too?

No, but I legitimately just watched that for the first time in over a decade like... last month!

Nothing about Sharon Carter’s strange scene? She’s revealed to have pulled a few strings to get Batroc out of jail after the events of the first episode, and has him rendezvous with Karli in New York at the end of this one - but she can’t be the Power Broker because the PB wants Karli’s head on a stick for stealing…

My jaw dropped when Bucky said about Steve, “I don’t think either of us understood what it meant for a Black man to handle the shield. I owe you an apology.”

Die Another Day should be more fun than Tomorrow Never Dies, which has the rather limited premise of “James Bond versus Rupert Murdoch...and Michelle Yeoh’s in it, too!” But TND’s a rock-solid action film, and DAD is a damn disgrace. The only category where Die Another Day scores better than Tomorrow Never Dies is…
