Good point, but also maybe it wasn't just Molly. Some of the other girls seemed pretty out of it too (though maybe they were mixing things).

"Artless" doesn't mean bad writing, it just means Paul wasn't talking in prepared speeches like so many of the other characters did.

Nice, and ahead of its time. I'd completely missed that one.

Well, without knowing much physical chemistry, if he starts hitting molecules with the force of a full-size human punch I'd think it would imbue them with a tremendous amount of energy and send them careening into lots of other molecules.

Well, if you accept the (impossible) premise that he retains his full human strength regardless of his size, and all he's trying to do is mess stuff up (rather than doing something more surgical, Fantastic Voyage style), it kinda sorta works.

Oh good idea. But maybe she'll refuse! TRAGICALLY DIVIDED.

They don't explain this well at all, but my THEORY is that in both cases they performed their final task while they were still in our universe, but in order to do so they had to put themselves on a one-way trip to Sub-Atomica, because in order to get small enough to do their thing they needed to disengage the…

Since this comment is bring out the "Eh" crowd, I'll say that I did love this film. It's the first Marvel Studios movie where I felt every moment was building something, whereas all the rest seemed to meander at some point and give me time to think about the inevitable logic problems (and seemingly inevitable weak…

Also, Peyton Reed has probably seen the Cornetto movies, so could be he saw how something like that could fit into Wright's structure. (Which I would say is a plus for Reed.)

Oh right, I completely forgot about potentially super-powered Pepper. Maybe Tony's keeping that a secret, I speculate hopefully?

That's funny, but otoh the existing IM3 post-credits was my favorite part of it.

That's interesting. I was getting a Liam Neeson vibe but didn't connect it to any particular part.

Reminds me of a rule I came up with for decoding old movies, since we're not as equipped for their subtleties as the audiences of the time: anytime a shot ends with a fade out, assume that all the characters still onscreen had sex before the next scene.

He said it was something most chicks WEREN'T into.

Yeah either stolen or officially "off the books", although a government black ops contractor should have some better way of paying its stooges than just a sport bag of cash.

or Turd Detective for the more literary. But I prefer yours for its lack of ostentation.

I kind of agree, and yet otoh I feel like some of tonight's stuff seemed fragmentary and underexplained. I don't dislike Vince's stuff but it seems to leave little time for Colin & Rachel to finish a scene.

I actually don't feel like this season had a "get off the ground" problem, more of a "stay in the sky" problem. I love the performances and the atmosphere but the plot just never grabs me, and this episode being more plot-heavy felt like the worst one thus far.

Scenes randomly ending was a big thing. Like it looked like Colin was about to kill Springfield, and we cut away. We also don't know exactly how the settlement meeting with the starlet ended. (Seems like if they give in to her than every rich criminal can just claim sexual harassment from then on, not that the system…

As an end-of-season twist, it turns out that Springfield is still Nick Knight, Vampire Cop.
