I especially liked the hand melting backwards. It's worth noting that the "Typical Mr. Freeze Backstory" has only been around since the mid 90's when it was introduced for the cartoon. What's more, unlike other versions, this one makes Nora Fries an actual character - in the animated series and Batman and Robin…

I predict: a torrid, pseudo-adulterous love affair between Blue Morpho and DMTM, probably one sided on the Blue Morpho's part. There's a 90% chance of a big lie-getting-found-out scene, and they may go for the fake-out where it looks like the Monarch is in deep shit for keeping a secret, but then somehow it turns out…

My interpretation was, every time Rosa and Pimiento started getting weird, Terry just happened to be there, every time.

Better use of Captain Dickass alluva sudden. Woulda been better if they'd given more hints earlier in the season he wasn't just being a tool.

Well, if there were parity between the genders, the odds of Jonah Hill making 32 films without ever working with a woman as a director is less than one in four billion. So while there's different ways one could interpret the data, there certainly seems to be a problem somewhere.

It would give this information more context if this included more information about how many female directors there are in general. Like, if there's one female director for every hundred male ones of comparable experience, that gives a very different picture of the nature of the problem than if there was near-parity.

My only quibbles were that the zodiac element was formally introduced a little late in the game, and then almost immediately dropped. It was nice to see a bunch of those characters having an actual role to play, but then…not. And also that Stan's virtually instantaneous recovery undercuts his sacrifice. How much…

We know the adventures of the first Team Venture, particularly Rusty himself, were serialized as a television program, so it's not much of a stretch to imagine there were comic books as well. And now the picture of the Monarch and Rusty playing as children is starting to make more sense.

Nookie was Cookie's cousin, RACIST.

It says so much for this show that with all the threads it has running concurrently, I can't wait to see what's next for any of them. Giant superperson lair? New superscience team? Yes. Yes.

I actually missed the part about Whale arching Dr. Venture, but there was a lot of stuff going on - as usual. Is basically every episode of this show the orchestration of an elaborate pop-cultural clusterfuck?

Hasn't Howard Stark always been basically Howard Hughes?

I was kinda disappointed when the second movie elaborated on Po's adoption, as it undercut the first movie's best joke, the absurdist "sometimes I wonder if I really am your son" bit.

I remember there being some genuine suspense, an impressive feat considering it's a movie about people running from nothing. And while the main character's acting was, well, bad, the suicide scenes were both disturbing and fairly original. It's still a dumb sort of movie, as are essentially all of his, but it's…

Kin'emon from One Piece has not grown on me. Plot threads are long in developing in the manga/anime, but him, his son and his friend (who I kind of like, subverting the normal take on the living art superpower by being a terrible artist) have the makings of a plot tumor. His personality is basically a hypocritical…

One of the funniest episodes of anything I've seen in months. This show is at the point where, I think I've made this point before, there's a lot of laughs to be had when two very distinct characters are oddly in sync on something.

In Giving Up magazine, one of the articles was "NBC Cuts Back To Four Days."

Banana Man's bit about everyone but him getting a manual on speaking with others is a kind of sentiment with which I can easily sympathize.

"Talpa" is this episode's vocabulary word. This show is weirdly educational at times and I like that.

The "this cell will never hold me" gag may be the best they've done in years. Especially because cages that look easily escapable is something more primitively-animated American cartoons do a lot, so first I was annoyed to see it again. Then laughed when they lampshaded it. Then laughed harder at the Gilligan Cut,…
