I’m curious about your last statement. I didn’t take it that Cassian and Melshi were the only survivors (though it’s a convenient way to keep them together for Rogue One). I just assumed folks got scattered as they made their way toward shore.

Just reboot the damn DC cinematic universe and make Superman hopeful, corny, and kickass again. 

I pretty much have to disagree with most of this. Now it is fair to say that the story could’ve been easily written where Terry Silver was focused more on Johnny. I would say Daniel being the center of the conflict and Johnny being in the plot B conflict did happen at the beginning of the episodes.

Wholly disagree. This show knows what it is, leans into it, and has perfected it. Season five was the best season yet. 

I liked when he referred to them as "his better eighths".

I have a feeling that Wong was lying there. That he didn’t literally abduct the Abomination, put him in a cage fight and then return him without Emil having any say in it.

As long as you’re not in the first four rows.

Police Squad! In Color. Tonight’s Special Guest Star: Paul Rudd.

My favorite preliminary theory I’ve heard about Season 3 is that that little convo between Charles and Rudd behind the curtain was play dialogue they were nailing down.

“The character was introduced into the MCU with 2008's The Incredible Hulk, which dug into his experiments with gamma radiation that gave him superpowers”

I’ll admit “Shut up!” “That’s our slogan” made me chuckle, so yes, bad omission on my part. 

Having a female Bond seems like an overcorrection, but Bond movies could use more than just the “damsel in distress” roles.  That’s happened a few times over the years, but not that frequently.

Not surprised by the jump forward given I predicted it from the trailer for this final half of the season but I honestly can’t believe that amongst all the outcomes I never once thought they may go for something as simple as Kim just leaving.

Best I can figure is Chuck’s comment to Jimmy that Jimmy with a law license is like a chimp with a machine gun. Maybe Kim just no longer trusted herself to wield that power.

When they were in the parking garage and Jimmy said “I know that was hard” and I imagined her saying “that’s the problem, it wasn’t hard, it was easy”, but instead she just gazed at him for a moment and smiled and softly kissed him. And that’s why this show is unlike anything else on television.

Yes, I think the point was that this was as exposed as Gus was willing to be. He was willing to subtle suggest that David might come to his house and try the wine that David had talked about. When David said he hoped Gus would tell him what the wine was like when he tried it, Gus took that as a rejection of his offer.…

They display frighteningly real sincerity even in a situation like trying to convince a widow who has been (wrongly) made to believe that her husband died by suicide and was a drug addict, all in the name of covering their role in the man’s death.

What, Bull?

I’m sad we’ll never see this sweet boy again
