This episode was a lot of fun. Not everything has to be a cataclysmic world ending disaster waiting to happen. Some things can just be...fun, y’know?

I can’t help but notice that there’s now a puzzling trend of female leads from the MCU not showing up on What If…?

All right, who had Barsanti giving a bad review to a fun episode after whining the day before about how the episodes were too dark?

Oh, everyone did. That’s right.

“Why, it’s almost like the show has been quietly setting up some kind of arc for its narrator, but would could have possibly seen that coming?!”

Would could…

Title of “What if... Thor was an Only Child” left me wondering if that means Hela just never existed in that universe either, but sadly, it wasn’t part of the story (I say sadly because having Cate Blanchett pop up to goth out the party a little would have been fantastic).

Also Selvig doesn’t show up in person but he…

First time, long time here, calling to see if I’m the only one here, but I’m genuinely perplexed by this reviewer. I am rather convinced that we’re watching two different shows.

I really enjoyed Josto and Gaetano being buddy-buddy as brothers for a few episodes, which has been a way more fun interaction than Gaetano looking around at stuff creepily. Gaetano being the reasonable one in various interactions was fun, too. 

Satchel Cannon died on a lonely road in Kansas. Long live Mike Milligan.

Very nice analysis. Rabbi’s line about being born again stood out in the moment because he seems like the kind of guy who knows his bible backward and forward (when we saw it in Calamita’s hands a few eps back, it looked like a book that’s been read), and at the same time, Rabbi Milligan personifies the schism between…

If You Think of It, the Story’s Got No Ending Edition

I LOVED this episode - and I think our reviewer really needs to go back and watch A Serious Man. As soon as I made the Kansas - Wizard of Oz connection, I knew they were going to bring in the tornado. I’m so glad they also brought in the religious/philosophical aspect too.

Good analysis. I would also note that Rabbit the dog might perhaps be the next incarnation of Rabbi the human. Getting sucked into a tornado and then spit out of a wardrobe a day earlier makes as much sense as this episode.

Nvm about the dog. Rabbi asked whichever Testament is the one where you’re reborn.

I normally read recaps so somebody else can tell me what the symbolism means, but since Zack isn’t feeling it, I have to resort to a bit of original thought:

>“East” and “West” is probably supposed to mean something

Well you got a racist cop ready to shoot a kid and a Wounded Knee soldier who is called a hero.  Perhaps you are on to something. 

Maybe it’s because I’m a screaming Antifa Liberal Monster - and as such I wear those colored glasses on my face - but everyone around that dinner table seemed to me to be an aspect of modern conservatism. I mean they are in Kansas, after all. “Here you go Satchel, the future is now... try and figure this shit out for…

Favorite episode of the season. To me its how Satchel Cannon becomes Mike Milligan, hence the black and white to color.  Also pretty sure that billboard is a nod to Mike Milligans speech about being the future.  It was a quirky character study that was throughly entertaining.  

As much as I enjoy The Force Awakens, it does sometimes feel like the Asylum version of Star Wars in that major elements of the latter (Tatooine, the Death Star, the Emipre, the Rebellion) have been copied but with names just different enough (Jakku, Starkiller Base, the First Order, the Resistance) as to technically a…

You forgot that they hid the last hope of the galaxy under the last name of his father that was born on the planet they were hiding him.... living with Anakin’s (step) family in the house where his mother’s buried.......on the planet that is suppossed to be farthest from the bright center of the universe which…
