You’d think he’d have picked up on it with hints like that....”Honey your dinner is in the oven, and also you can use your belt as a make shift tourniquet should it ever be necessary!”

Man... that’s what I tell everyone that’s trying to do manufacturing in China, especially contracted out to 3rd parties.

I liked Halo S1 more than a lot of the hardcore fans (and I think a lot of the changes and compromises they made were done in the need of narrative efficiency for combining the two most interesting threads of the Halo fiction, namely that the UNSC sucks and the Covenant attack). That said, I think Schreiber is bang on…

Our firm has done business with a number of companies that source from China and they will all tell you that you better either have your own plant, or a full-time quality control team on site if using third party. Whatever specs and formulations you agree to go out the window as soon as the door closes behind you if…

Any surveyor worth a damn knows not to route over a clutch of dragon eggs. Big mistake.

When that scene came up I was like well that’s one way to stick it to the Covenant

Right? If I’m hired to produce a tv show based on one of the most successful game franchises of all time, I’d be playing every game, reading all the novels, and understanding the source material deeply. I’d have watched the remember reach videos, listened to Hunt the Truth, etc.

Wolfkill has never understood the Halo franchise and her career appears to be a complete commitment to ruining it. The fact that she is still involved with the franchise at any level is an embarrassment.

a Covenant-sympathizing human named Makee (CHARLIE MURPHY!!!!)

Thing is that it’s a really expensive stove that you have to take good care of. You can’t let the ashes inside get wet at all or the chemical reaction starts to eat the steel it’s made out of. The idea is really good but one of the Solo stoves basically costs as much as 10 cheap fire pits.

I liked the acting and the production design a lot. The plot was a little thin, but not a deal-breaker. The only thing that annoyed me a bit was how they never really gave us a clear or concrete explanation of what her actual powerset is. Her hands glow, and maybe give her increased strength? Maybe durability too?…

Yeah, they seem to have lifted the entire cast from “Reservation Dogs”. Which is fine because it worked, but it would’ve been nice to see new Native faces too.

Just finished it. I liked the first episode quite a bit, which was what was advertised, but I think it declines as it goes. What starts as essentially a silent protagonist out to get what’s hers, devolves into something a lot slower, for only 5 episodes. This is one of those series where I would have preferred it stay…

I liked it more than Netflix’s Punisher, which I struggled to get through and never even bothered with the second season. And certainly better than Secret Invasion.

Thing is . Echo is a Marvel D-list character, and unlike DC whose characters get more out there and nuts the further down the alphabet you go , Marvel’s 4th tier heroes tend to be dull .

something being ‘more popular’ doesn’t automatically make the other thing obscure or that noone gave a shit about them. banks don’t give you 140 million dollar budget for an obscure character noone had heard of.

I was impressed with Cox in Hawkeye and didn’t know that was her first on-screen role, ever.

we need to stop acting like iron man, thor and captain america were nobodies before their movies. they were less popular in the mid aughts than they had been in the 70s or whatever, but acting like they were mega obscure is disingenuous.

And her power swap is lame. Super strength and a weak version of the Penance Stare. Both conveniently cheap to fake. 

Having watched the whole thing, it’s better than Jessica Jones.
