He was on Bones last week and my mother, after realizing who he was, said "Oh. Huh. He is aging appropriately."

I don't watch Survivor and all my podcast time is wrapped up in comic book stuff and Welcome to Nightvale, but I will download/follow anyway.

2.) The thing about the films is they take place over a few days or at most weeks at a time, during extremely heightened circumstances, but working for SHIELD is Coulson's job all the time. This is just what goes on between the movies.

You're right. How dare this half-hour television show that airs on broadcast television in primetime on a weeknight, in between a show about silly cops and a show about wacky gynecologists, behave like some sort of sitcom?

Well, they do sell tickets. They're not wrong there.

There are many Superman purists (not me) who would point out that Superman killing Zod and his crew back in the 80s was extremely controversial and badly received at the time as well, and that it was a plot development inserted by Byrne right before he left the title, leaving the next batch of creators to deal with…

And I believe there was another Solids song under a scene in one of these episodes.

If they're really going to be at that hotel for the entire season, I can see both Curtis and Linus becoming recurring characters. Like the Carl and Wendy the Waitress of Season 9.

@LiberalCollegeFreshman:disqus ,  yeah, for some reason I think they'd get over it pretty quickly as long as they liked The Mother and she made Ted happy.

This observation made me feel significantly better about the whole thing. Thanks.

He is in a sort of wagon, and it is heading east…

Ryan Reynolds and Halle Berry have played characters from both universes, but I wouldn't say they did so simultaneously.

I've said this before, but Barney & Robin have to be together for Ted to really move on. If there's even a slight chance of being with Robin, he will cling to it. Marrying her to (one of) his best friend(s) is the only way. That, if for no other reason, is why I'm sure they will go through with it/it'll work out.

I just think the show suffers whenever the ensemble is separated for an extended period of time. And since these are the last twenty-or-so chances we have to see the whole gang together, I'd prefer if they were all in one spot for the most part.

She also bakes, just like Victoria.

I think so too. In a way it's almost a little creepy, the literalization of the idea that Ted was looking for a combination of his two best friends' significant others, but in another way it is also very cute and fitting.

Well, we know she plays bass in a wedding band. That's why she's on her way to Farhampton in the first place. So that's one thing.

Putting the mother right next to Lilly really accentuated how much she looked like a Lilly/Robin hybrid. Almost distractingly so.

You don't have to watch it. I just meant that it's got a flashback-heavy structure, and a lot of the characters are Disney-fied versions of fairy tales, many of them princesses, hence the "for girls."

I know this is totally unheard of for a Guillermo Del Toro project, but I think I read there were budgetary issues in pre-production, and now its future is in doubt.
