At this point it's technically Satan's Marvel. They got their own homebrew version so they could put him in charge of the place after a few years. Somebody's got to be CEO, and he does have managerial experience.

Apparently the two younger children's mother is looking for custody of them, although like all internet facts that's sort of hard to verify. Still, hopefully there's someone looking out for them,

That was harsh. After the orgy, hell does come for you, as Mrs. Scanwell would say. Admittedly she probably wouldn't have quite the same grasp of the delicacies that Harlots does. The show does a fairly good job of balancing moral ambiguity and the necessity of having a villain to root against a hero to root for. Mrs.…

You can have beautiful people who still have some diversity to their facial configurations, and you can have beautiful people who are beautiful unconventionally. Part of the magic of acting is that anyone can be striking and interesting to watch if they have the stuff. I'd much prefer a slightly plain but modern…

The castings for historical characters are getting out of hand. They are all so attractive now. Margot is gorgeous (and a hell of a character actress) but she looks like every hot blonde leading lady from the past ten years merged into one. At least Cate Blanchett's face had some of that long Tudor-ishness, and the…

Indeed. Notably there are theories that Dido originated as a goddess, before becoming a mortal historical character in later Greek works and finally the Aeneid. The further forward in history you get, the more she's Aeneas's spurned love and less a figure in her own right. Plus she shows up in the Divine Comedy as one…

Nancy Birch is a little bit terrible but so charming and her facial bones make me want to cry. If it's a test of most likable rather than most attractive, definitely Harriet the former Lennox, now Queen of the Damned. She's definitely had the most dramatic arc so far, and her situation is absolutely sympathetic. You…

I just got super into this show and it is wonderful. Where has this sort of historically accurate, female focus, morally ambiguous, emotionally based, orgy filled entertainment been all my life? I don't even have to worry too much about awkward scenes because it manages to stay surprisingly PG-13, all mentions of…

He knew someone probably got out earlier , and might be coming back with reinforcements, and he didn't know how long that shield could hold up. A siege only works if you're certain you have and can keep the advantage.

They're still pretty obviously a something whenever they're on screen together, the writers have just kind of stopped putting them in the same episodes. Plus, Kanan has been getting his Jedi groove back, and Hera has more and more responsibilities, so it makes sense they would have less time to flirt than they did…

That's what we call a blockade, my guy. Boring to watch, yes, but still pretty sound military strategy.

Honestly, even if Thrawn hadn't been playing (relatively) nice I think he still would have lost in the long run. He wasn't pulling many punches in the beginning of the battle, and most of his actions in the later half were going to happen anyways. The shield help up for long enough to force a ground assault, and…

Well, this got long, but this was a lovely season finale and I had lots of things to say.

This is a pair of fifty year olds who have lived hard lives. They've got to watch their joints these days. Nobody wants to defeat their nemesis only to die in the desert because they broke a hip doing it.

In fairness, the Rebellion has pretty limited structure at this point and they need every hand on deck they can get. The Republic might have been willing to try a minor with superpowers like a soldier, but the Rebellion doesn't have that maneuvering room. They just became an alliance, like, last week. Their chain of…

This episode was… interesting. Not my slice of pie, but I hope some people enjoyed it.

This internet parody music video has joined the legions of other unlicensed derivatives that still did a better rendition of Belle's ballgown than Disney did. This one is understated, more of a dull gold than yellow, and with less detail than some others, but still yards better than that bright, half-tiered,…

A good point. I am hoping she'll come back later and be vindicated, but as of now she was given a decidedly villainous send-off. Being bubbled away is basically what happened to Jasper, and her actions during the later parts of the episode when she was angry at Steven were all very straight forward. She wanted direct,…

As far as I can figure out they had such a big data core in their Mobile Nerd Ship that overloading it literally caused an explosion. Like a computer virus just brute force shutting down everything, except since the computer was the entire system it all kind of imploded. What might have caused some minor sparking and…

Why is that cyber-kinetically enhanced man still wearing glasses? They fixed everything but his eyes? Weird. If I had an evil empire bankrolling things I'd definitely ask for 20/20 vision, right off the bat.
