The Matt/Stick dynamic reminded me of the one between Naruto and Jiraiya: "I'm not here to be your Dad, I'm here to train you into a living weapon. Have some some ice cream."

Wilson Fisk is the male Azula.

I just realized, this show takes place in a setting where extraterrestrial life is a known fact - and a fellow at NASA just predicted we'd have evidence thereof within the next 10 years; a not altogether unreasonable assumption, given the current pace of discovery. I mean, said life probably won't be the basis of…

Given Skye's training regimen, how about "Gettin' In Tune?"

Mooney's fingers jutting into frame juuuust in time to catch the door was great. At the other end, there's a weirdly goofy reading of "I'm going to tell on you" followed by "Now stand there while I busy myself with my center of gravity out this window" followed by Bruce doing the most cartoonish version of "I'm going…

OK first off that song was amazing. That might be the best track the show has yet produced, and that's on a show that, if they released a full soundtrack, it would be the best album that year.

Why not Pacipper?

I don't think the episode necessarily attempted to justify the love-potion trope by leaving the couple intact, at least, not exactly; the point seemed to be that meddling to fix the consequences of your own meddling is still meddling. Even if you've completely FUBAR'd a situation with your action, doing nothing can…

How many times can a guy say "I thought you knew" before he gets that the person he's talking to has not yet gotten a basic heads up on How We Do Things Here? Just give her a top-down PowerPoint already, wouldja? Why are people in fiction so bad at explaining things.

Brief Breakfast Club homage in the dance party sequence. Also: Stan has a plot-relevant-seeming tattoo (in the imagine-spot, anyway); is that its first appearance?

I like works with well-developed themes, this episode had that in two storylines about identity politics, in this case race and sexuality, and also something about birds. I did think the Dean's storyline could've stood to have a better ending. We kind of understand what he was saying, but there's no reason anyone in…

THIS IS HOW THEY'D TELL US.

Histrionic Personality Disorder, maybe?

THANK YOU. I was worried he'd written something super-important/Marvel-y. Like, he'd slid a note saying "My name is Galactus" or some business.

Dumb question: what was on the note at the end? ABC OnDemand doesn't allow Rewind or Fast-Forward and I'd rather not really rewatch it just for that…

Archer.

Just rewatched the first episode; didn't even realize the stir-fry thing was a first episode call back.

I just realized the Cool Kids function as a counterpart to the Gems shit @Dikachu:disqus already mentioned it.
