OOH, sucks when you correct someone and you are wrong. the Rock has been in the last three Fast and Furious movies.

So why is it believed Earth didn’t start out with water? Why would one space body be less likely to have water than another random space body? Wouldn’t the simplest explanation be more readily embraced without contrary evidence?

Honestly this could all be retconned yet again in the future due to the Scarlet Witch’s reality manipulating powers.

Its not about making you smarter, but increasing your ability to learn new things. IQ test would not fit into this category.

You’re missing the point, Chuckster. It’s not surprising nor is it entirely new. However, it’s beyond disconcerting that the FBI insists on doing this work in secret—sometimes on unsuspecting Americans—and refuses to talk about it.

You have no idea how much I agree. I enjoy the Wednesday recaps of Agents of SHIELD and Flash so much that it saddens me iZombie doesn’t have one. iZombie is a great show and someone on the io9 team should write up recaps.

No offense Katharine but maybe if you guys recapped it regularly here at io9, might get more excitement going. Love the show too, just amazed no recaps of it.

No, she called herself a monster for having been raised as a killer. She never said “I can’t have kids so I’m a monster.” Whether or not yourself or others read into it that way is your own prerogative.

There’s a lot less immediate accountability, which you used to have when debating these sorts of subjects in person. There’s also a lot more appealing to confirmation bias based on “followers”. If 1 million people agree with me, I *must* be right!

What I find intriguing is people seem to be skipping over the entire context of the scene. Her innate fear and demons doesn’t boil down to the sterilization. It’s everything to do with her training and life back then. The sterilization comes up when Banner talks about being with her. It’s one of the many things that…

Also, are we really picking apart the fact that the calm-Hulk-down move is called a “lullaby”? Hulk is like a giant, raging child. It makes total sense. The fact that Natasha is the key just speaks to their relationship.

Washington Post had a great counter argument to this:

People keep bringing this up. I think the reveal of her sterilization had more to do with her relationship with Banner than it being the crowning moment in her backstory. And as others have repeated, the tragedy of her sterilization isn’t that she can’t have kids, it’s that she had that choice taken away.

Well you’d be the only one then because the majority of fans know that Bendis is a hack.

You lost me at M. Night Shamalamalamaman.

...Isn’t the whole point of being a spy being subtle?

That hallway is so nondescript I kept thinking the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. were gonna barge into the scene.

Can we at least admit that the music sucks?

A comic based on the AoS Skye/Quake? Hopefully they save her first real battle/power display for the series proper. I want her vs. Cal!
