Though, immediately after he delivers that monologue, they have the rest of the Gang comment on how they did not see that coming, so it being out-of-character seems like it was kinda the point.

Depends what sort of scale you want the story to operate on. Unless superpowers are involved, defeating a world-spanning empire is something you're gonna need a large, well-organized military force to accomplish, and it would take a pretty contrived situation to have one of those led by or made up mostly of teenagers.

I don't know about that. An essential part of the post-apoclypse story is that an "apocalyptic" scenario has occurred, but humanity has managed to survive anyway. That's optimistic, from a certain point of view.

I've heard "dropping bodies" used on Supernatural, but they also seem fond of the word "gank" meaning "to kill", which I have never heard anywhere else.

I'm holding out hope that they have SOME interesting idea for where these flashbacks are going, but they just paced it really badly, so they can't give the flashbacks their big reveal until the latter half of the season.

Whenever he tries that on a significant villain, they always just catch the arrow with their bare hands.

If they do a Birds of Prey thing with the Huntress, both Black Canaries, and Felicity as Oracle, at some point they'd probably have to address the fact that they've all dated the same guy.

I did like that callback. When you have characters doing shady stuff, it always helps when they remember all the shady stuff they've done.

Except, if a movie is scary enough, it will, by definition, get an R rating.

So would Mac be General Turgidson, then? Cause I can really see that working.

He did bang that hot, rich woman a bunch of times, though he reveals he only did it in a (horrifically misguided) attempt to make the Waitress jealous.

My impression was he can control which objects he drains energy from, or at least suck energy from different objects at different rates.

That was the exact moment Patty realized she's a metahuman with gun-summoning powers, and decided to leave town so she can hone her skill.

You know, if I thought a movie was part of a sinister conspiracy intent on killing millions, I'm not sure I'd take time out to comment on whether the comedy and musical numbers worked out.

Are you even allowed to ask whether someone's cis- or trans-gendered during an audition, though? Seems like that's something the lawyers would frown on.

I wouldn't say I was bored during Fury Road, but I was definitely underwhelmed in places. It fills itself with over-the-top, outlandish stuff like the warboys or the flaming guitar, but a lot of the action scenes are mired in attempts at gritty quasi-realism (the pulling-the-truck-out-of-the-mud scene comes foremost…

You just summed up my reaction to pretty much every Academy Award winning movie ever.

"You are here. We are not."
