Well, there’s always that lighthouse and library in Alexandria to visi......oh shit.

Sit down. I have some bad news about the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus.

If only we could salt the Republican Party as well as the Romans did Carthage.

Look, that’s nobody’s business but the Turks.

And Constantinople.

Carthage, on the other hand...

I always love these far right kooks that are concerned by the idea of “ an international mafia-like organization meeting in secret to decide the direction of world governments, the dispersal of wealth, the introduction of laws that benefit their causes, electing presidents, prime ministers, senators, congressmen and…

[Does some cursory Googling, gasps.]

I knew I wasn’t the only one who thought that. During that entire scene, I kept waiting for Jonah to club Frank over the head and toss him in.

“a romance that still doesn’t exactly feel earned”

Well, that’s an understatement. When Nico started going on and on about how they couldn’t leave Karolina behind, I actually shouted at my computer, “Shut up, show, you didn’t earn that.” 

I hope the opening scene of Season Two is the death of Jonah. Or two characters reacting to the off-screen death of Jonah.

It’s insane that they decided this show needed a generic villain instead of going with the comic book’s hook: the parents are the villains.

The show is way too interested in making the parents…

Yeah, I thought the point was supposed to be “kids run away because their parents are actual supervillains,” not “kids run away because it’s really hard for their parents to protect them from a crazy supervillain.” Bizarre choice to put most of the parents under some random creep’s thumb.

I really wish that finale was better. I had really high hopes for this season after the pilot and Metamorphosis, but it just hasn’t been delivering. Jonah is so unlikable and boring, and him being the big bad, taking some of the heat off the parents, undercuts the premise. I don’t think having them run away in the…

It is possible (but not likely) that the actual Gibborhim are at the bottom of that hole. ....Which means Molly dropped a truck on their heads, so that’s funny.

Can we talk about how the villains of both The Defenders and Runaways dig a giant whole through the center of a major city to retrieve something - dragon bones in the former and TBD in the latter?

The most frustrating thing is you can *see* the bones of a much better show there. I’m glad they got the renewal since I think there is a chance they can learn from this season and tighten things up - but I’m honestly surprised they got the green light for one after that finale.

The show seemed interesting at first... and then became rapidly dull. THIS episode should have happened in Episode 3, or 4 at the latest.

They’re dragging the mysteries out way too much. This is as bad as the Hand. And I wouldn’t be surprised if their giant hole is as underwhelming as the hole in the Netflix shows.

This was the episode that made me actually angry at the pacing and focus choices of this show. When they started writing this show, they had to have some idea what would be the core narratives heading in to the final episode and what were the central relationships. So if they knew that and were planning on having…

I might be way off here, and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but I have tiny suspicion that the people running this show don’t actually know how tranquilizer darts work. Like at all.
