I spent 10 years as a manufacturing engineering for Titan IV combustion chambers and that was many years ago. This current stuff is just astoundingly awesome! Go space stuff, go!

Maxine seems the ONLY powerful, older Dem who fucking gets it, and I LOVE her. Meanwhile we have Nadler and Schiff and others ‘asking a second time’ for things like the tax returns or the Mueller report, and I don’t know what the FUCK is wrong with these old bastards. 

Nadler has explained his position already - not sure if it applies to Schiff, etc.

We are all here for MoHawkeye

So the Stan Lee cameo was a paradox, right? He was reading the script for Mallrats, a movie in which *he appears as himself*.

Both the Skrull and Kree already have faster than light travel, why did they need a new lightspeed engine?

Mendelsohn was a good guy AND alive at the end?!

To be fair, and only mildly disagreeing with you here, it didn’t say that “some Skrulls are good, and some Skrulls are bad”... what it set up was that in war, and particularly in the sort of empire-like expansions one frequently sees in sci-fi, who is the “good guy” and who is the “bad guy” is dependent on which side

As he himself mentioned, the last time he trusted someone he lost an eye. Unfortunately for him, he trusted a cat (actually a flerkin). And Talos did warn him.

Dude’s had his back to a friggin shark, I wouldn’t pass this incident by him :/

I saw the trailer in the theatre a few weeks back, and yeah it’s definitely a new, weird style of animation that takes some getting used to. But it’s good. 

“-it couldn’t personally convince me Killmonger was “bad” until he assaulted the caretaker of the heart-shaped herb and burned all but one of the herbs. That was his destroying the past and rebuilding the future in the image of those who trained him”

It may not be well-known to those people who have only just started Doctor Who, but in 1963 it was created specifically as an educational programme aimed at a young audience. The TARDIA was there as a vehicle to explore science and history. And this episode did that to perfection.

James - this is a general comment not a pop at you, but seriously? If an awful lot of white people are uncomfortable about how “on-the-nose” Rosa is on the subject, perhaps take a step back and ask yourself why it is so damn necessary.

Uh, yeah. 1) Future White Supremacist isn’t dead - he’s displaced in time. 2) I think we’re at a point where The Doctor might just have picked up that this is literally NOT the time and place to scold a black man for defending himself against a racist mass murderer who has straight up threatened to kill him more than

I loved the fact that nobody wanted to be there. Nobody wanted to watch Rosa being taken off of that bus and arrested, and unable to do anything to stop it.  It was a brilliant touch that could have easily been overlooked.

I loved it, I can’t remember the show ever addressing history so directly and to strip it down to a villain driven by something as plain as hate and xenophobia was pitch perfect. That the bad guy looked like a proud boy was the jewel in the crown (and worked as an eloquent rebuff of the proud boys logic). If this is

A lot of people forget that Doctor Who was originally intended to be an educational show and they were told to avoid bug-eyed monsters. Overall, at least they kept to part of that concept.

Also Doctor is Banksy. Maybe.

I really liked the episode. I think they handled the subject very well and I liked how Doctor having so many friends from different backgrounds allowed to highlight different sides of it - each awful in its own way.And then they didn’t solve anything they just made sure awful people didn’t had a chance to screw it
