I dunno, I’d like to know why Nathan wants to be best buds with Ed. He certainly cannot get the message that the guy disdains him. I thought Adam Scott was great tonight, from bonding with his daughter to reading Madeline to filth. I did like that she was beyond groveling and trying to defend whatever they have left,…

They seem instead wary, really.

Conceded. Thus the subtext!

It’s his best feature! Is that a quote from his mom?

“How many little kids do you know?” Steve’s not too dumb to realize that it’s not always about age.

Except, the show has always connected the ongoing D&D game to real situations the kids are soon to face. Just as it uses familiar movies to tell a new story.

Not to mention Marcy.

Yet.

I’m all for a super-powered Raft breakout/riot movie or show. Who else is in there with Hellcat?

I liked how she used them in Defenders. Two very trained guys, an unbreakable man, and a really strong woman. All nice to have around in a brawl.

In the comic she flies, but not well. It’s somewhere between Hulks leaps and actually flying. If she had a webbed suit like Spider-Woman, she’d do much better. Basically, there are only a few things Jessica Drew can do that Jessica Jones can’t.

And Trish made the point that Jessica only had strength, not skill. And Sallinger, wrestling coach, had the same message kind of. But then Jessica just picked them up and dropped them until they passed out, so I think she won the argument.

Jessica said as much, that he kills because he likes it, and mistakes his targets like Dorothy, who actually lived up to his supposed requirements for personal truth.

I blame Fred. Okay, the demise of Portlandia. Okay, David Byrne maybe. Okay, I quite like St. Vincent. Yes, I’ll probably buy the new album. It’s construction time again!

It just reminded me too much of how long it took the therapist to get her to admit she was a victim of abuse last season; I thought she might have learned something.

I don’t think Sallinger did so well against Trish. His arrogance places him above super-heroics, and he thinks his training matters, but all that helped him with Trish was the element of surprise. She still almost killed him.

I’m enjoying Ed a lot this season, and that includes his tussles with Nathan. Their basic differences (meathead vs. intellectual I guess?) leave a pretty wide gap (they should really both bond over surviving Maddy), but I think Adam Scott really gets this guy and his inability to express himself except in maddening…

Celeste should be seeking to ally herself with her therapist, rather than continuing to freak out when her therapist offers realistic advice. I guess we’re still seeing these women try to assert their little bubbles of privilege this season, against the direct onslaught of reality.

“At least you got your wedding ring back,” how humiliating. And the way all of her ostentatious bling keeps dinging her at the Courthouse metal detector.

Yes, her visions portend a whole history of wrongs. And Bonnie’s father definitely implied long term strife between the two. But all that was cut short by the stroke, another delaying tactic.
