Rene Russo was by far the bigger loss than Brie Larson in this case. 

Myles, pay no attention to these folks. They’re all just fanboys/girls incapable of reading even the mildest criticism of a show they refuse to find any fault with regardless of what a steaming pile of trash this episode was.

I think it was somewhere in between. We didn’t really learn anything about Beard except that he has the same fears and insecurities as pretty much everybody else in the world. It didn’t tell or show us anything about why he handles them differently than everybody else. It was fun to see his world, but it didn’t tell…

I was shocked they used the actual song and not some stupid depressing cover to it. 

Became?

After Sense8, I’m much more willing to give the Wachowskis a chance again. I’m just confused about why we’re supposed to be scared about being stuck in a simulation of 1999. Cypher was right, frost my tips and plug me in!

Like Sam, I’m pretty down on the Marvel Zombies concept, so the What If? was the right amount of entertaining a concept about as long as it should. Although if all your episodes are bleak endings it starts to undercut the actual bleakness.

I generally agree with you, with one caveat: I strongly agree with Alex that effectively gutting the show of any conflict has the effect, at times, of turning all of its kindness and empathy into sop. Season 1 was strong because the kindness and empathy carrying Ted and others through the conflict made those themes…

My music complaints are never quibbles, it’s just consistently brain-breaking. I was thinking the other day watching For All Mankind what Mad Men would have sounded like with that show’s music budget.

I was dismared by all the “Merry Christmas” when Harry Potter taught me they say “Happy Christmas” and that just feels more English to me

Using PPG, they are more on pace for 59 points, which puts them in 15th (28 points accumulated divided by 22 games played times 46 total games). Still, this club needs to go on a tear if they have a shot at promotion, as they have had some unfortunate bad luck (RIP Earl but that was a costly two points lost).

I thought Sam’s storyline was great (and it’s always nice to see Toheeb Jimoh get more playing time, to borrow the parallel from soccer), but the only thing that bugged me is it has just now come up. Presumably Sam’s dad has seen Sam in uniform numerous times, so he knows the team’s sponsored by Dubai Air. Was it just…

To provide context to American viewers: although the UK is in general, outside of a small number of troglodytes, very committed to LGBT rights, and there is very little stigma surrounding being gay these days (none at all in much of society), gay men don’t exist in football. At all. AT. ALL. Last year there was an…

Put me in the “unsatisfying” column. I enjoy the MCU, but don’t really care about the comics.

This seems like a case of “we need to set up the next story” without giving any thought to concluding the story they were already telling. One of our main characters (Moebius) ends up having his arc erased, another (Loki)…

The way that location keeps getting relentlessly plugged, it should be treated like it’s a lead character.

“There was one time my brother transformed himself into a snake, because he knows how much I like snakes, and so I picked the snake up to admire it, but then he turned back and went ‘AAHH! It’s me!’ And then he stabbed me.”

Do you think her baby, feeding while she was in costume, should be known as Very Young Loki?

I thought the point was to make us think of Raul Julia in Street Fighter.
“It was Tuesday.”

“White Falcon” had me laughing.

I am disappointed that Scorpion and Sub-Zero are not played by the same actors in the same costume with the colors changed in post. Way to ignore your heritage guys.
