My fear is that Apocalypse will be overshadowed by Magneto and Xavier will be overshadowed by Jennifer Lawrence. Because Magneto is such a compelling character whose friendship with Xavier and the different directions they take have been the lynchpins of, well, almost every X-Men movie. And Fassbender is SO GOOD. To…

I thought The Revenant was fine. Leo was fine, although the movie wasted his talents (charisma, charm, comic sensibilities). I don't know if the role was better served by him than it would have been by anyone else, except for him to prove to everyone that he can do this kind of movie too. Tom Hardy was incredible and…

Okay, here's some "logic". Maybe more than you were looking for.

Without delving into specifics for the episode this week (which was solid, really. too soon to pass final judgment on major plot threads being developed), I *do* want to express my displeasure with the Fairytale world the showrunners are creating.

I kind of liked Buffy x Spike. But a thought I just had in response to your "homicidal damage" bit. Spike is only "evil" or "bad" from our, *human* moral perspective. As a vampire, he was acting within his nature. So it wasn't quite "murder" so much as it was "eating". When humans kill humans, it's murder, because of…

I thought I had an explanation ready for the time travel, and I tried writing it all out, and…then I lost it. Answer is: because time travel.

I was half expecting/hoping Waller to pull a gun and shoot one of her subordinates in the head herself, just to prove a point that she wouldn't be taking any shit from the Blackwater stand-ins and *certainly* wouldn't hand over the control codes. That's something the real Wall might do. Maybe a bit aggressive for a CW…

It's sexist bullshit, as it always has been.

Ah shit. that was my bad. Linda Park, you are quite right.

I loved Barry and Patty as a couple, so I'm sad to see her go and pissed at Barry.
BUT for her sake, I'm glad she dumped him. He was a really shitty boyfriend. He told LINDA CHANG he's the Flash with no real second thoughts about her trustworthiness. But he can't trust his serious girlfriend who's awesome (and can…

I've heard rumors that Felicity is going to be paralyzed from now on, which fits with the ominous dialogue about her coming out of surgery "but the doctors won't say what's wrong" or whatever. She's too important/big a character to be killed off like this.

Ali and Sarah take their moppa to Idylwild. They have fully embraced her as a woman. Josh sort of stiffens up whenever he sees Maura. I'm sure there's plenty in the first season I'd point to upon rewatching, but one thing I remember from this season is when Colton's family visits and Maura comes to the house looking…

The Doctor at the Institute, yes. But the Nazis were definitely, conspicuously *men*. All looking alike, all working in harmony. They were authority figures, but their identity in the show was geared more toward toxic masculinity.

1. I think Ali doesn't even know what she's talking about, which is why it's even more boggling that Leslie is attracted to her. Ali is "performing" all the time.
2. But I agree that Jill Soloway intends for that inherited trauma to be a theme in the show, despite Ali's lack of a concrete idea. Less so that Maura's…

I disagree, actually. Most of Josh's storylines have revolved around his desire to form a family/be a father, something he craves, because he was denied that stable family unit growing up. And because Maura transitioned, he has felt like he has no object for his anger anymore, which makes him unable to process it.…

Certainly the Nazis. And you get married because it's your duty/expected of you. A bit of a stretch perhaps, but this show can be blunt sometimes and is certainly no fan of the patriarchy, so it stands to reason that Rose would definitely be invested in a female child. This show is almost all about the Pfefferman…

Did not know that! I kind of doubt that *Josh* would care about that, especially at this point in his life, but it also doesn't seem like something this show would be ignorant of.

Two quick thoughts: pretty sure the egg was spoiled/inedible/a miscarried embryo, making it both physically inedible for Josh and a hurtful reminder.
