Damn. Now I miss this show all over again.

Yoko Kanno's score for Cowboy Bebop and/or Howard Shore's for David Cronenberg's Crash. The Junkie X soundtrack for Mad Max: Fury Road would probably be pretty awesome to experience live, too, particularly if the Doof Warrior, War Drummers, and Wall of Amps were all part of the show.

Particularly because this was probably the only moment in history where Velveeta might have seemed legitimately exotic.

"Water giggles" actually sounds dirtier than whatever it was supposed to be euphemism for.

Another fun Easter egg: I guess this also marks the first step in the eventual birth of the Vision, what with Jarvis offhandedly dismissing the use of his voice on the newly-installed Stark home security system as just temporary because he wouldn't want to see himself ending up as just a disembodied voice …

Not to mention that the whole situation came off like a repeat of last season's Barry/Iris one: given that almost every character on the show with a speaking part already knows Barry's secret identity, it seems silly, not to mention condescending to the character, to hide it from Patty, especially given the amount of…

When I first read that I considered googling "Japanese Ball Joint Doll," but then thought do I really want to have that knowledge rattling around in my brain for the rest of my life?

Well, they do have their Underground Railroad show coming up later this year, so they may be betting on that to take over as their "prestige" offering. I hope not, because I really like Manhattan, but if they decide they only have room for two shows at a time, I can certainly see them dropping it.

Considering some of the great comic actresses who've been recurring guest stars through the years, like Lizzy Caplan, Linda Cardellini, and Zoe Lister-Jones, the choice of Megan Fox as a temporary replacement for Deschanel does seem somewhat, um, counterintuitive …

More to the point, while I don't have this guy's Mad Math Skillz, I'm gonna go ahead anyway and guess that however much the film lost because he and his pals spent the weekend pouting in their basements was offset by the amount it made from parents with daughters who were excited to see a sci-fi movie with a girl…

Maybe we could take up a collection to buy the poor guy some mustache wax.

This was a thing?

I thought he was dead.

I admit, I did chuckle a bit a Selina having to sort of skip along to keep up with the grownups.

I think his cape must've been at the dry cleaners, so he had to borrow Hellboy's trenchcoat.

Sorry, I think by law all sassy grandma roles still have to go to Shirley MacLaine. And when she dies, Meryl Streep and Susan Sarandon will have to fight to the death to see who gets them after that.

Fuck.

So, Cthulhu founded HYDRA, then?

I thought so too, as a nod to Joss Whedon's past as a Rosanne staff writer, although admittedly it didn't make much sense for them to be talking about a show that's been off the air for almost 20 years.

Possibly bonding as they initially squabble over the proper way to raise an orphaned gorilla.
