Star Wars was unoriginal first, goddammit.

The student surpasses the master.

So you're cultivating a reputation as 'That weirdo over by the phones'?

You know you can just carry the phone around nowadays, right?

Oh yeah, he won't watch the whole damn thing.

Awesome fucking is this!

I'm so relieved that it isn't just me. It isn't even the first time. Etpietro just captures Gene's vibe perfectly.

You got some weird opinions, fella (filly?). I'm always glad to meet someone else who will admit to liking First Class, though.

I thought about the drug coma, too, and I'm hemming and hawing over it. I know a lot of people, smart people, who say they'd rather die than be trapped in a coma, than be separated from reality.

What effect does mind control have on the blood? What does a mind control virus look like? What's its genetic profile? How long will the full series of tests take? What kind of test reveals the specific mechanism by which a virus lets a man tell you to do anything, and then you cooperate to the best of your…

Oh, you mean the two crazy scientists who've spent twenty years in hiding and both died grizzly deaths under suspicious circumstances after Jones and Co kidnapped/tortured their son? If there's one thing judges love, it's the expert testimony of dead people intimately involved with the accused.

My writing has some really specific tics, I admit it.

They're worth considering, and I actually would have liked to watch the show do more tinkering with ways to beat his powers, but short of a magic/superscientific deus ex machina-style device, there's no way to neutralize him in a way that is:

"Hey, it looks like he has an unfamiliar virus in his blood."

>There are legal grounds and this is exactly how it is handled in the comic universe. The unresolvable issue of no one believing in mind control is a blood test away from being resolved. It staggers the imagination to consider how such an obvious point elludes anyone.

Please keep in mind that they captured, detained, and imprisoned him illegally, and that if he were given actual factual due process, there would not be considered legal grounds to keep him in a hermetically sealed mega prison while he waited to see a judge.

Well, he's seen two right testicles, he just assumed the left one was symmetrical.

You gotta close your eyes and downvote from the heart.

After hearing about how Eccleston apparently doesn't like to revisit a project after he leaves it (that was the rumor I heard for his absence from the Day of the Doctor), I assumed that's what his role in Thor 2 was about. Like, just ticking the participation box so he can say "I did a Marvel thing, now I don't have…
