Wow mind blown -- I knew Luthor looked familiar but somehow made it through all of Umbrella Academy without making the connection.

There have been bits and pieces of Tyrion wondering whether or not he’s backed the right horse (mostly in the form of Peter Dinklage reaction shots), but the plot has moved so quickly ever since Tyrion met Dany that the show hasn’t had any room to process his perspective on whether or not the Dragon Queen is really…

The best trick the show pulls is leaving open the possibility (literally up until the last second) that Ned will be sent to the Wall, where he can live in exile with his bastard son. Since we’re already spending a lot of time with Jon at the Wall, we can see how this would work in TV logic — this is the kind of show…

I’m a lifelong New Yorker and would never ever leave, but I’ve also seen multiple waves of friends and coworkers at different phases of their life get “done with New York” and feel the urge to leave. For lots of people it never feels like home, and after a major life event like a bad breakup or a layoff, they just…

I thought a similar thing after Tony just unveiled an Iron Spider costume out of nowhere during Infinity War -- if he could build a suit that makes Spider-Man that much more powerful, why did he ever let Hawkeye and Black Widow go out there naked?

I don’t think the ice zombies have ever really been a primary antagonist — in the later seasons it’s really Cersei and secondary human villains like Ramsey, Euron, the High Sparrow, etc. driving most of the conflict.

I’d probably round out the top-5 with Mad Men and The Shield (the latter of which gets silly at times, but still totally sticks the landing), if we’re talking primarily about long-running series that tell a contained story with a planned endgame, as opposed to series that just go on in circles until they’re cancelled.…

There are like five TV series that are excellent from beginning to end and you named three of them in your last paragraph.

The MCU usually kills it with the second-act action sequences — Black Panther has the fun chase sequence in South Korea, Civil War has the airport scene, Winter Soldier has the elevator scene, GotG has the prison escape, Avengers 2 has the motorcycle chase and Hulkbuster, and so on.

I just hate the way the MAGAs are giddy over this, like it vindicates every bigot ever accused of a crime just because this one somewhat famous idiot wanted attention and a raise.

Lots of Mockingbird fans and not a lot of Dumb and Dumber To fans, I see.

Yeah but in the trailer Jr. calls Richard Roundtree “grandpa” rather than than “great-uncle,” so it seems like they retconned it.

Yeah I still don’t get why they didn’t have Janet come on for a song last year and rip off Justin’s shirt, just to point out how stupid the whole thing was.

Yeah Snyder didn’t seem to understand that Rorshach is a caricature of a right-wing crank — the joke is that he’s been positioned at the center of a superhero story despite having no moral fitness to be there. Instead I pictured Snyder nodding along with Rorshach while reading the graphic novel in a “This guy gets…

Yeah I don’t get the hatred. You can say Jason Reitman had a leg up in the industry because of his dad, and he never really had to “pay his dues” as a result of that, but at this point he’s a veteran filmmaker with several quality movies under his belt. He’s obviously qualified to make a Ghostbusters movie. Any John…

Yeah my thoughts are also that Bernthal is Johnny Boy and Vera is Livia. The flashback actors from the original series were fun in small doses, but I don’t think they could carry major roles in a feature film, and they’re 20 years too old for the part now.

He’s dead, and I’ve always thought he was dead since about two minutes after the episode originally aired.

In the Winter Soldier, there’s a scene where Cap kisses Natasha and then she’s like “Was that your first kiss since WWII?” Cap doesn’t protest. So he did spend something like two years living in 21st century Brooklyn looking like Chris Evans without dating at all.  He’s had many years to correct that at this point,…

That pathetic attempt at a beard is clouding the real problem here, which is that his suit jacket is creating the dreaded X when buttoned.  Unless you’re built like Daniel Craig, that’s a pretty clear sign you ate too much stuffing over the holiday.

Yup. Something like half a million people have died in Iraq as a result of that war, which Bush spent a year insisting was necessary because Saddam had WMDs.
