^ BAM. Nailed it, thank you :)

Hey, guys, that Invisible Man/James Baldwin fuck-up was me, not Charles. It was a final edit combined with one of my well-known brainfarts. My apologies, but just to clarify, this is 100% on me.

Ritchie’s Man from UNCLE was more fun han it had any right to be.

Only commenting to point out that the trailers for Arrival made the movie look more action heavy than it turned out to be. I draw no conclusions from that. Otherwise, I agree with all your points.

Hey, when your barber shop or private investigations agency goes into receivership due to unpaid bills because you’re busy punching thugs instead of earning money, maybe you’ll be happy to have a billionaire buddy, is all I’m saying!

My only wish for Defenders is that there will be a scene where Danny leaves the room and the rest of the team is just like “yeah, I know- But we really need the money...”

Yeah, I think this was a terrible mistake. It’s almost like the showrunners are saying, sure, these guys are murdering theocratic homophobic misogynists, but hey, at least they aren’t racists.

My reaction was the same. The trailer reminds me of Smallville, and I was a generation too old for that show when it premiered, and that’s fine. I’m not Marvel’s entire audience. Even my generation isn’t Marvel’s entire audience.

While I don’t agree with the people who don’t like the book, I do understand them. It’s a strange, difficult, sprawling, and often self-indulgent book. (This is a compliment.) It’s a lot of work, from a story and genre that people don’t necessarily expect it from. There’s so much going on - like the people who keep…

Susan was also significant to this episode in that Bill questioned the name TARDIS, a name Susan invented, and he attributed his decision to take her along to her having mentioned that - after he had a conversation with those photos. I feel like, at least thematically if not narratively, Moffat has Susan in mind in…

Here’s a better look at Valkyrie. I know she’s not holding energy drinks, but man does it look like she is.

The Beeb might have confirmed it, but the soaraway Sun did the deed first.

How is this not incredibly obvious to everyone? Stark is saying: don’t make my mistakes. He literally says “be better” in the trailer

I figured Blink worked because Moffat is someone who needs to be checked at every turn. He did great work writing under Davies, and yet there are a lot of people who are REALLY not fans of most of what has been done with him as showrunner (myself included).

Right. As I commented they rarely let poor Martin and Jax go into Firestorm mode and when they do he throws fireballs instead of doing the really psychedelic special effect demanding molecular transmutation he’s capable of.

I remember one comic he was transforming everything Killer Frost threw at him into flowers,…

Wes Chatham was superbly cast as Amos. I didn’t have a clear picutre of who he’d be but once I saw him as such it’s hard not to see him so when I read the books.

I actually saw Avasarala as Aghdashloo when I read the books. The other characters I didn’t have nearly as clear of a picture but Aghdashloo has such a strong voice of authority and look of wisdom that the role was practically written for her in my mind.

Is she really arguing that she has a right to touch someone without their permission? Damn, her entitlement is absurd.

smh

Yeah, she goes to meet han realizes the guy there is like 5 inches too short and blasts him and spends the rest of the film looking for the real han. Sold!

Ah hell. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to interact with him a couple of times. Intense, but genuinely nice guy, and the latter is a rare quality among the performers I’ve met.
