Here is the exact conversation from IW:

Incorrect. Nebula knew the stone was on vormir, but she had no idea it needed a sacrifice. All she knew is that thanos went there with gamora and returned alone. "Gamora is gone because the soul stone requires a sacrifice" is a lot less logical conclusion than "thanos is a psychopath and probably just killed gamora

[Hulk throws bench]

Um...100 year-old Steve Rogers caught it, then sat on it until the end. DUH.

I like to think that Old Cap was already camping out in the woods, waiting for his big reveal, and suddenly a bench comes flying through the air and he catches it, and then is like, “Ooh, I could totally sit on this bench!”

I assume you think Professor Hulk should have thrown the bench further? 

Game of Thrones meets DC universe movies.

Basically the guy Cho assumes is the doctor says he isn’t allowed to be one anymore. Then a kid enters, grabs a knife and says he wants to hurry so he can get back to his game. Cue screaming and the exit narration.

The twist is one of the best bits in the episode, but not exactly mind-blowing.

She struck me more as Ivanka. Probably could do something, but doesn’t. Conway is more of an opportunist than a Kool-Aid drinker.

And it’s a shame, because there were interesting things they could have done. The best scene was definitely the one where Cho tries to discuss his concerns with both the Secretary of Defense and the president’s mother, but they are drinking the kool-aid. It’s an excellent analogy and classic Twilight Zone as described

Episode 1: So everyone he mentions in his act ceases to exist. If he tells a joke about someone he knows they disappear. Are you following? Joke = gone. Don’t forget that if he mentions someone in his act, they will go poof. Pay attention when he mentions someone in his act.

Episode 2: [I have no particular complaints

It says something in the review about a child surgeon cutting into the political consultant 

No shit. I feel like I’m being talked down to with every episode. Everything is so on the nose and beating you over the head with the point. It’s like Romero’s Land of the Dead all over again. Subtlety and being clever are okay. Stop aiming for the cheap seats.

I was thinking the “Mom” was a reference to Kellyanne Conway who has previously been referred to as the White House mom. In an administration marked by chaos and turnover, Conway remains: relentlessly on message, reliably defending her boss, no matter what the circumstances.

Wait, I get it now! It’s satire! The kid is supposed to represent Donald Trump, who is childish! Man, that’s some clever allegory. I never would’ve put that together.

Seriously, I’m just not sure why this was necessary - it didn’t make any new points or really get into any of the moral conundrums of the Trump

Wild in the Streets is definitely worth watching, and one i always think of when people start talking about how we have to get rid of all the old people. 

I was sure this was going to be way more like “It’s a Good Life.”  The way the kid’s mom was behaving in the White House made me think the kid had some type of power over everybody.  By the end, I really wanted to see Raff’s head on the spring of a Jack-in-the-box on the White House lawn!

This is my biggest sticking point in not liking the episode. The whole thing portrays this guy as this almost supernatural entity, and then he’s stopped by a camera and a crowd of people.

I also kinda wanted the villain to be a little deeper. He kept chasing them through multiple timelines to the point of it becoming ridiculous. I thought maybe he was some kind of racist “time-guardian” or something.

It was well done, but heavy-handed. I thought for a second that some of the other police officers showing up at the end were there to arrest stalker-cop, but, alas, they were simply another half-dozen white guys there to back his play.
