Great news! All you have to do is suffer through seasons of Once Upon A Time for the handful of episodes in which they appear!

Ah. Thanks for the clarification.

This was my runner-up comment, so I'm glad someone else made it.

Or, more likely, (because they're ninjas) they're just all hiding and will pounce on us to deliver silent death when it suits the needs of their shogun.

I believe that these sorts of things are generally termed "microtransgressions" because they're not intentionally offensive, but reflect ingrained beliefs or prejudices which are inherently offensive and that sort of percolate up unintentionally.

I think that last paragraph is really the essential question. In three appearances, The Hand has acted in three wildly different ways. Gao could easily be a wholly different character between DD1, DD2, and IF, despite the fact that she is clearly supposed to be the same character.

In case it's not abundantly clear, Trump never wanted the job of being president. He wanted the prestige and universal admiration he assumed were attendant to the job and were attendant to the campaign, but it's pretty clear he never wanted or had any intention of doing the job.

You say that like he won't be using a stupid accent anyway. It'll just be a different stupid accent.

That was supposed to be revival. Missed a syllable there.

I blame Kennedy for making hats unfashionable.

My favorite part of that movie is the scene in what is nominally Poland with a giant, majestic mountain range in the background.

Daisy is the one in the brown plaid dress to Dafoe's right, yes.

In which Daisy Ridley cosplays Hayley Atwell and someone agreed to let Johnny Depp have a mustache and, presumably, a silly accent again.

Yeah, I just meant in a permanent capacity as a member of the team.

I think I speak for all of us when I say that they should put this off FOR-
