One of the highlights for me this week was the Peck reaction shots, like him making a silent u-turn with the food just as Spock is about to reveal his scheme to T’Pril. 

I mean there was also the option of using this movie as a meet-cute for the Trinity. But maybe that’s for the stingers here. 

See, instead of this anti-political politcal thriller (nice one, Linda!) we could’ve had an MCU Schitt’s Creek with Talos and the family instead!

To be fair, I don’t believe this is meant to be an ongoing series. How it gets us to Fury back on the shiny space station for The Marvels, though, remains to be seen. But Nick and Talos doing POTUS a solid can’t hurt.

This is close to where I’m at -- I feel we might see all three heroes as a way to illustrate various viewpoints around Superman (Guy the xenophobic ‘Murican, Hawkgirl the skeptical extraterrestrial, Terrific as the more reasonable and curious voice) but Clark will be the focus. If anything’s going to lose here, I…

I agree with you -- it’s not just that this is a political thriller without (much) politics. The big question is still out there: what, if anything, did Fury and Danvers do to deliver on their promise to the Skrulls? 

Personally I can’t wait to see a version of Monica Rambeau’s kit in live-action; hopefully she adds the jacket soon:

Godzilla is BACK -- and he’s already disinvited somebody. 

The other big takeaway: Tennant set up a Doctors Group Chat! 

I came away pretty impressed by Clark-kun and the gang after the first two episodes. There’s absolutely room here for this creative team to offer up its own take on the rest of the Trinity, if this network is even allowed to muster up that kind of effort under Zaslav.

Zac mentions it during their fight -- once you’re in the palace long enough, the ore used to construct it blocks out the radiation’s effects. 

She takes a phone call from Pagon who gives her a time and place and states “I need to speak to Gravik.”

Fwiw my read was that he was also reeling from not only being brushed off by Rhodey but losing whatever job he had. Hopefully he’s still got a spare key to that space station. 

We may never know the devastation wrought by the Lyft Wars in that timeline!

Between this and his outburst with Vice Admiral Pasalk last week, Spock’s suddenly a loose cannon!

Going by the scene in Pelia’s shop, the taxi came after they crossed the border and took some buses. 

And that character as part of the Council is a very clever little beat, as well. 

I thought it was Fury registering not just the physical effects but quietly freaking out now that he’s lost whatever resources he had coming into this mess. (Which he for some reason didn’t choose to use even enough to tip Rhodey off first, but that’s another conversation.)

Just some thoughts:

Last time I went, it was somewhat work-related. I’d like to return one year when I don’t have any work responsibilities at all. Assuming I can navigate the reservation process, that is! (Yes I’m on the room hunters FB group just in case.)
