I wonder sometimes if Gen X and X-plus generation writers and TV showrunners haven’t so internalized the story arc of a 26 episode season, that once they start sketching out a season, they go down all these roads and relationships that would work in a 20 to 26 ep season, but hit a wall in an 8 to 10 episode season. If

I really enjoyed the staging and direction this episode, starting with the coffin coming right out of the opening titles and ending with Marion's head floating away off screen as she watched the symphony from her box. 

I think the Titans showrunners were shocked at how lucky they were to land Alan Ritchson and Minka Kelly - and subsequently kept feeding them more and more material. The Hawk and Dove focus-episodes are arguably the best of the series. Plus he had to play Hawk from college senior to 30ish dude in rehab. Range. The

The signature shot of MK jumping across the street - and subsequently turning into the D+ logo is cheeseball. In the main clip, the physics seem off and he looks like a wee elf hopping from rooftop to rooftop. He’s cute. He’s a scamp, this Moon Knight. Plus, it looks like this 3 second shot was solely created to morph

Booth and Bones were pretty good there for awhile. The first five seasons or so of the show were pretty good - then it fizzled. But they had good chemistry. The show cheated the hook-up too; having it happen between seasons and then waiting a half-a-season to reveal it already happened. By the time the audience

Patsy had sex with Eddy’s flip-phone, which should count as an “almost.”

Batman and Catwoman on Batman ‘66. Though I guess this gets hurt by recasting the character. But still, he could have hooked up with any or all of them!

Now on deck: Chekhov’s Giant Teleporter!!

- Knowing what this show is, now that its done, I’m not too upset. I’d have given the finale a solid B. I think the showrunners were thinking, take what screentime Fennic and Boba had in Mandalorian S2 and flip it. Did it work? Eh? These things tend to gain cult followings.

Maybe Bill Hader, it helps he’s employed by HBO too.

Hopefully, possibly folded in half.

Bounties get tied up under the wing now I guess.

Stranger Things s3 actually did this really well. PG-13 (or MA-14?) too!

That would be perfect. 

I thought maybe he was cast as Alun. Gwyn never mentioned Alun’s nationality - if they only met during the War as fellow soldiers.

Stephen Colbert as Kite-Man season 2 cameo: Fingers crossed.

After watching the opening credits dance like 10 times now, I finally caught Judomaster coming out of a trapdoor in the dance floor, before Chris hoists him in the air for the finale. *Trapdoor in the floor*

I suspect many AV people are writing their reviews & recaps on their phones.

Hondo sounded like a Robin Williams character. So much so that any live-action Hondo actor would basically be doing an impression of a Serbian Robin Williams. Which will be a weird discussion inevitably in a year - probably in the middle/back half of the Ahsoka show.

Good catch.
