Nah, to not over-think it I’m pretty sure Hill is going to be standing right next to Nick Fury when we eventually find out whatever the hell he’s doing wherever the hell he is.  Considering his secrets have secrets, it just seems really out of character that he’d have Soren impersonating Hill just so she could have…

I don’t see why - of course, if I knew anything about what’s coming up in the MCU I’d be NDA’d to within an inch of my life, but I suspect Soren and Talos are only on Earth because someone called in a thirty year-old favor for reasons we’ll find out somewhere down the line.  They sure don’t seem to be having a very…

I’ve seen that documentary you linked to. With all due fucking disrespect to Mel Brooks I don’t think America now has a white supremacist President holding Klan rallies in the Rose Garden because not enough people treated fascism like a big joke.

Fair enough. You don’t like Rebel Wilson. I’m not really keen on comedy Nazis, regardless of who the hell is playing them.

You know, there are plenty of people who are going to need some convincing that a film with comedy Nazis is anything more than tasteless trolling.

Honestly, I’m not a fan of the show or Andrew Lloyd Webber in general but it was hard to miss that so many people who were dunking on this were swooning over The Lion King.

Here’s my two strips of gold-pressed latinum worth. Spock disappeared, Romulus has been destroyed - the Unification movement has not only survived but taken on new urgency. If whatever is left of the Romulan elite are allowed to hold innocent citizens in prison camps while trying to weaponize Borg tech? Their best,…

Well, I guess the Romulans and Klingons finally have something in common. They do not discuss such things with outsiders.

Believe me, I know people who’ve worked cons and there’s nothing “idiotic” about people asking questions before the fact rather than causing dramas on show day when there’s already a million and one things that needed to be done yesterday. :)

I stand corrected - but I wish there was a little more suspense about what would happen to June if Ofmatthew loses the baby (which is all Gilead cares about), or it survives but she can’t have any more children and ends up being sent to the Colonies.  Because I’m certain the answer would be “Nothing.”

Does the Con have a contact you can ask? There are cons where if you’re late you’re out of luck because they have enforced policies about no late admissions. Otherwise, it depends. If you’re slipping into the back of a hall the size of a football field, I doubt anyone would notice. A small room? Yeah, can be pretty…

Up to a point, but sometimes it can be because if structural/story-telling matters. One really obvious e.g. - Atwood’s novel is narrated from Offred’s point of view and in her voice.  We only see what she sees, know what she knows. So, in a sense Offred has that plot armour in place.  I don’t think the show ever…

Uh, again - Ofmatthew has produced three healthy children (including a son) and was pregnant with her fourth when June attacked her. She was still pregnant when June, effectively, got her killed.

Hell, I’d prefer it if Miller just stopped playing the relevance card like it’s a free pass for bad writing.

Yeah, I think we’ve all noticed sadistic misogyny is a very real thing. You don’t have to look hard or far to get all the receipts.

I don’t think it’s about “popularity” as much as this show has always wanted to have it’s dystopian misogynistic theocracy torture porn cake and pretend it’s not really eating it at all. Which is a creative choice, I guess - but the plot armour they wrap June in (because “home” something something) in makes a complete…

And Chewie. Is it wrong that I really want to see Chewbacca laying waste to the Forest Moon of Endor at the head of a rapacious army of Battle Porgs because he can really carry a grudge?

D-Bag Superboy needs to kill this bad idea, immediately.

Tsui’s experience working in America in the late 90's was not a happy experience, and he’s not exactly been sitting around waiting for the phone to ring since he went back to Hong Kong.

Is this a polite way of saying “Wouldn’t pay the Christie Estate for the rights to anything she wrote, so I’m just going to rip off as much of her work as I can before the lawyers stop me”?
