    Agents of SHIELD” did give us the Robbie Reyes character, and did a great job of it too.

    Now I need to watch Oh in DOUBLE HAPPINESS again.

    All things being equal, I would agree. But things aren’t remotely equal.

    Late to the party, continued.

    Late to the party, finally watching this show after all the recommendations.

    IM2 is bad, KICK-ASS is rated exactly where it should be (and on a lower level same for LOSERS), and SUPER, a brilliant film, isn’t actually based on a comic-book.

    I like the movie but I think that as an adaptation of the book it missed the mark on a couple of levels. For one thing, the casting is too white— I always read Scott as biracial at least, and the same for Wallace and some of the other characters.

    Best 70s-TV touch, which may have been unintentional: The “take one” tire marks already on the ground when Enoch’s car spins into view.

    Rachel-Joey was the show admitting they’d run out of het combos.

    This reminds me of something I always admired about “Newsradio.” By having Dave and Lisa hook up at the top of Season 1, the show was able to avoid will-they-won’t-they entirely, even as the couple went on-again-off-again for the rest of the run.

    He takes his time, but that’s OK since the narrative is all about taking a long view of history. Things don’t really get cooking until the second book, and my favorite character doesn’t show up until the third. They’re pleasant enough reads.

    Bayta and Arkady Darrell, for starters. Read the books, they don’t bite.

    Is this the first film to do a joke with the Pixar logo? Because it’s a good joke and worth waiting through the end for.

    There’s that, too. Engaging story beats good FX.
