Someone elsewhere among the comments compared it to Dr. Strange’s stral projection, like how he could read multiple books while also sleeping.

Totally—that can’t have been an accident.

Unsurprisingly, the witches’ spells are done in Latin. Equally unsurprisingly, it’s difficult to clearly hear them, between the soundtrack & ambient noise, & the way the actors pronounce it. Usually, pop culture does lousy Latin, too often just using Google Translate or the equivalent. My hope (as someone with an MA…

I wondered that, too. The silhouette could have been either old school Scarlet Witch or Enchantress, but the yellow made me think more of Enchantress. Plus, why would Wanda be seeing herself in such a vision?

Re the red rising from Agatha’s throat in the Salem flashback: I’ve been intrigued about the possibility of a Mephisto appearance, introducing a new MCU Big Bad & maybe explaining Wanda’s power boost.  So when that red seemed to rise & expand, & wondered for a minute whether the other witches might be trying to…

Are you questioning her use of the word “quarantine”, or the concept of quarantining? Neither necessitates a COVID reference. The word itself dates to the 1400s, when the city of Venice used a 40-day isolation period (quarantena in the Venitian dialect) to limit the spread of the Black Death.  We’ve been calling…

I caught that, too, & was wondering whether anybody would mention it in the comments. Frankly, I’m surprised it wasn’t mentioned in the recap.

I unapologetically enjoyed Iron Fist from the beginning, & never really understood why seemingly everybody was shitting all over it.  I wasn’t as bummed as Jones when it was cancelled, but I really wish we could have had, at least, one more season to get something like a complete story told.

That would seem like an opportunity to riff on something animated, like The Simpsons.

That worked this time, though, since everything about Wanda’s pregnancy is unnatural. In fact, I found myself thinking that the babies were deliberately supposed to look extra-big & developed, even compared to typical TV newborns.  (That, & the whole show so far has been riffing on TV tropes.)

Vera, Norm’s wife on Cheers, is the first one I thought of.
A little bit Howard’s mom on Big Bang Theory, though she is heard if not seen.

Not only two completely different houses, but each clearly modeled on its sitcom referent: The Ep. 1 house looked like Rob & Laura Petrie’s (from The Dick Van Dyke Show), & the Ep. 2 house looked like Darren & Samantha Stevens’ (from Bewitched). [And since, by now, this won’t be a spoiler, the Ep. 3 house looks like…

Here in the Twin Cities, at the heights of the George Floyd protests, things only got violent when the police and/or outside agitators got involved.  You could see it in the live news coverage while it was happening, & it was confirmed by the arrests & convictions that followed--all out-of-town instigators, mostly…

Beat me to it!

Oh, but they’re already trying, claiming these terrorists are just antifa disguised as Trumpers to make Trump & co. look bad.  Hell, I’d settle for good ol’ fashioned hypocrisy over such deranged delusion.

They’re also all-pro dumbasses.  Assuming they’ve given any of this any real rational thought is a stretch, to say the least.

Awful thoughtful of them to help amass evidence for the prosecution. And I can’t help but think these dipshits’ bosses will be none to happy to see what they were up to when they “called in sick” today.

Maybe living up to the “clueless” part of my moniker, but: Isn’t Mace Windu dead? I admit I haven’t watched the prequels in a while, but my memory is that Anakin & Palpatine killed him. Can a Jedi be trained by a Force ghost?

“There used to be a time when people could have their dumb ideas and not trumpet them on the internet for everyone to purse their lips about.”

Well, they still can do that.  Nobody MADE Carano go public with her shitty opinions.

Holy shit—YES. I was 8 years old when this came out, & the TV spot terrified me. Unfortunately, it made a lasting impression—I can still remember it clearly, both the words & the dummy’s intonations. I had to scroll through this whole article a line at a time, in case there was an image of the dummy in there, & to…
