I can’t look at him and NOT think, “Who are 3 people that have never been in my apartment.” 

I also loved the construction of the story.

Man, that sequence even looks good in gif form.  Though I am rather partial to Daisy’s one take John Wick sequence from season 3 I think it was.

Less cathartic? Immediately walking back Daisy’s sacrifice to take down Malick by letting Kora resuscitate her back to life. Apparently, a neck snap is permanent, but quaking yourself to death and then having your body go frozen floating in the vacuum of space is only a minor inconvenience for Kora’s raise-the-dead…

Bittersweet?

Aside from the first couple episodes the DC Universe episodes have all been around the standard TV mark of 40-43 minutes a piece.

When Sir Justin and Dragon King are fighting, they crash into her door and it opens.

Aside from Legends, I think this was my favorite season finale of Beeboverse-adjacent shows this season (I guess it helps that these were the only 2 not to shut down production).

Yes, it “gave away their position,” but with Coulson and May captured, and Daisy and Sousa neutralized, our heroes were already exposed.

“(One scene, involving Hastings being forced to basically beg for money in Manhattan, far from the town he’s hoping to run, includes a pan across a table offering a spread of Halal, Paleo, and Kosher options.)“

Carrell is also not an especially gifted dramatic actor, so making that cliche transition from TV goofball to “oh my goodness, what a serious actor” hasn’t worked out all that well for him.  

I think if Carell picked better roles he would be fine (it would be nice if I had an opinion on his career beyond, “He looks pretty good these days...”), but yes, whenever I see Stewart, beyond his first responders activism which is very good and very important, I just go right back to Crossfire. So much since,…

They picked an awful, awful title.

to be fair to common sense, providing clean water to everyone is hard BUT... it becomes a lot harder when every single person involved is being paid by Nestle, aka the company that has a financial interest in keeping water dirty. firefighters can pass the clean water bill because they aren’t dealing with Nestle…

Apparently crummy movie notwithstanding, Stewart’s run on The Daily Show was legitimately brilliant. But he was always prone to the old American satirist’s fallacy of the “common sense solutions.” There are clear answers to our biggest problems, and they’re not ideological or partisan, and we could pass them in a…

As far as making jokes about Trump being tough is concerned, I will once again say that John Mulaney nailed it with “Horse Loose in a Hospital”. It avoids all the usual tiny-hand, orange-skin jokes and zeroes in on the pure absurdity not just of, as he puts it, “this guy being president”, but on everyone else trying…

both jon stewart and steve carrell already feel like comedy stars from 100 years ago.

Clinton campaigned heavily in Pennsylvania and spent a lot of time there. She still lost. Spending time and money in a state is important but not enough. 

On the national level, Democrats have been taking the Rust Belt for granted, much as the Republicans have been taking the Bible Belt for granted as well. Clinton most likely would have carried WI and MI had she spent more time in those states instead of giddily trying to flip states like AZ.

I love this episode so much. The genre tropes. The cinematography of it - especially the colour coming back as Coulson looks at May. All the twists that weren’t really twists but gave us exactly what we wanted - even if neither Peggy nor any Howard stark show up.
