Yeah but all Supergirl had to do was kneecap him with her heat vision…..what? …too Person-of-Interest? Besides the dudes old and Supergirl can't figure out where the guy went after 5 minutes?

Did Toyman's death yo-yo have poison on it or something. Stabbing me in the chest like that probably hurts but those guards went down like a Mike Tyson 1st round KO.

More importantly why was MM as Lord insisting that his security guy call an ambulance cluing him in that he was an imposter. He could have just as easily dismissed the guard and tried to sneak the girl out later…I don't know phase her through the walls to the parking lot or something. Clearly the limits on MM's powers…

I don't know…this is the same guy who had super secret backup cameras in the hallway outside the super secret Room 52 but not actually y'know inside the room.

Elongated Man: But I'm a detective, which means I'm like Plastic Man and Batman rolled into one.

I have to say I always enjoyed his role as the villain in Quigley Down Under a seemingly highly under-rated Western in my opinion.

Technically this is all supposition based on Simpson/Nuke's comics origin. IGH (which doesn't exist in the comics) is the organization that gave Nuke his "super" pills which are a poor man's Super Soldier serum and are also implicated in the chemicals Jessica was exposed to in her accident that gave her powers. The…

Yeah the experiments on comics Luke were also Super Soldier related meaning it could be IGH too.

I thought it was clever connecting Jessica's powers to IGH the people behind Simpson/Nuke's abilities. It provides a bit of connective tissue to the whole story. Not that this is always necessary but at least in Marvel's Ultimates universe which the MCU borrows heavily from, quite a few origins are linked to attempts…

Imagine what the guy who was trying to "screw himself" was doing.

I think she explained it herself as it takes some time to get over Kilgrave's effect. Kinda like coming out of a daze. Sounded reasonable to me.

I would have preferred if Doom had a technological (or magical) means of blocking the effect.

Precisely. The OT never felt the need to explain the Senate, the Emperor or any of the politics in the first movie. Do that type of over-explaining and you have the prequel trilogy all over again. We know now more than back then that this is a trilogy so there is plenty of time to flesh out the background details…

Yeah of all people, the most insecure superhero since Hank Pym. And Doom was one of the few people who could resist Kilgrave's power (because of his strong will).

That ending reminded me of the scene at the climax of Labrinth when Sarah says "… for my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom as great — You have no power over me."

I guess don't watch Spartacus or your head will literally explode?

It's good for a Canadian sci-fi series (although not quite Continuum good). It gets marginally better later on but the budget really shows throughout. Wil Wheaton guest stars late in the season so there's that. What? Not a Wil Wheaton fan?

Clarke actually remarked that the TV show V was essentially the first third of Childhood's End, so I guess at least the first part had some conspiracy and intrigue. Then again I read the book much later in life.

Although Punisher should have been more the Thomas Jane Punisher short film Dirty Laundry than the movie version where we got fire hydrant hi-jinks, apartment building Rent musical and "see I made you kill your best friend" version of Punisher.

Precisely, you can break ribs giving someone the Heimlich or doing CPR chest compressions (which are jerking motions not steady pressure). It's just that the visual seemed to indicate that the robot hand was somehow doing all the work especially since Coulson seemed to guiltily discard said robot hand afterwards.
