This is so fucking scary and tragic.

21 Jump Street/Men In Black collaboration MIB 23 has apparently been abandoned on the weird movie mash-up idea launching pad

Best version of Elsa Bloodstone, best version of Robot Man, best version of Monica Rambeau…and those designs!

Honestly, James should've been Jimmy. Like, he could still have been handsome! But seeing Kara fall for slightly more mature photo geek Jimmy Olsen might've been more compelling than "Mature, Handsome, Deep Voiced Man Who Does Not Like Being Called Jimmy." Not a knock on the actor at all, but what could've been,

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, hahahaha.

I liked this episode a lot. But mostly, it made me miss the first two seasons of Arrow something fierce.

I'm not proud of it. It just happens.

Spurrier's X-Men: Legacy comic is under-appreciated. It made Legion-fucking Legion!-into a good character and not just a plot device.

Hell to the yes. ReBoot was my jam as a child. I would watch it out of order so the tonal shifts would freak me out. I still remember Enzo losing, which blew my dumb little kid mind.

I always get this confused with Labyrinth.

I guess SNL writers need every win they can get.

I have always thought they had chemistry, or some sort of past entanglement going all the way back to season one when they danced. But this was on a whole 'nother level, and I thought it was handled splendidly. Like, two old comrades who both know but keep letting things get in the way. "We should've opened 10 bottles

To be fair, as soon as he put on the leather jacket and jumped on the motorcycle I thought: "Are they trying to make Mack the new Ghost Rider?" *Commercial Break, then* "Ohhhhh."

The photo is actually just an artist's representation of the abstract concept of Hope. Or maybe it was his puppy!

Yes! That's exactly what I was thinking. "Okie-doke, let's just go ahead and revert you back to your pre-reading evil book state, and a flip of the switch, and great, AIDA's back to being helpful with no ulterior motives."

My hope? She utlimately decides to travel to Tibet because she heard of some very interesting people doing very interesting things, and to maybe give the book to them? That also absolutely won't happen because it would be an anti-climax.

The lighting and sizzling fx from the portal suggested a rudimentary analogue to the sling rings that Doc Strange and his Merry Wizards used in the movie. The mirror effects also reminded me of the mirror dimension. Subtle nods?

Ah, Netflix. If they just cut the episodes back like, two episodes, the pacing would be better. The first Daredevil worked because it was one story and didn't do that weird two mini-arcs thing that is plaguing the Netflix shows now.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has become legitimately great. It's become the superhero-action show I most look forward to each week, and if you'd told me that a few years ago, I would not have believed you.

Read that as "make out more," which is les dangereux.
