“Man of Steel” is my biggest “I understand why other people dislike it, but they’re wrong” movie. The core criticism seems to be that the movie is violation of the characters in the comics, a poor alternate take on the characters of Clark/Kal-El/Superman and Jonathan Kent in particular, especially with regard to these…

As a longtime Far Side reader, I really question whether anatidaephobia belongs on this list.

Ayurnamat (Inuktitut): The philosophy that there is no point in worrying about events that cannot be changed

Came here to make a similar comment.  Amoral rich evil guys are a dime a dozen in the movies, something the author seems to ignore or not understand.  The movie version of Hammond, humanized and likable but clearly flawed and responsible for what happens, is far more interesting to me.

I’ll go further than that, and I know a lot of people won’t agree with me.

While I agree that Nathaniel isn’t the most intimidating villain they’ve ever faced, something about his energy just works for me.

Despite everything, the show refuses to condemn policing as a whole. The system is bad and some cops are bad, it says, but the idea of policing can be redeemed if you just put the right people in charge.

Which isn’t even the best version of that song

I just want to point out that years ago “Chuck” already did the “‘Push It’ while someone gives birth” gag.

I don’t know why, but I laughed harder and more times at this episode than I have at B99, or any episode of TV, in a while. Plus the Jake/Amy stuff landed emotionally for me.

The setup and then first delivery of “Lin (Manuel)” was utter genius, better than the main punchline of that story.

Like many others, I found the continuity issues regarding multiverse/no multiverse to be SUPER annoying. I hope it’s eventually addressed, and I realize there may have been practical reasons that it played out this way, but for now it just feels like the writers are paying less attention than the fans - even if that’s…

Watching the extended version I’m more struck by the fact that they redo the question when neither contestant gets it.  For regular questions they start asking the rest of the teams, but I guess I can’t remember if I’ve ever seen this for sudden death?

Yeah it seems like “change your month/year” money rather than “change your life” money. And that’s making a lot of very generous assumptions that probably don’t hold.

I swear if they “redeem” Lena without serious consequences (ideally for her) I don’t know what I’m going to do. Her story has already been written as tragedy. It’s too late to change that.

The review said we’d spent some time with him, which I don’t think was true. Just a Chekov’s Irishman scene at some point early in this season.

Yeah I’m pretty sure they’ve crossed a line with Lena, I don’t think they can really redeem her at this point, at least not in the sense of going back to the status quo.

I personally hated the one where Elliott went to see Trenton’s family. This was, for me, a better and more interesting (but still not great) version of that.
