But Natasha/Bruce just always felt awkward and forced. I would literally have believed a scene of her waking up next to Sam more. In fact, I ship it.

Now THAT is an interesting thought...

Anyone placing bets on who Monica’s aerospace engineer is? I’m guessing it’s Reed Richards.

Okay, but are we going to ignore the fact that they were CLEARLY dissecting Vision? He was in literal pieces when Wanda stormed the place.

After reading this write up, we ordered the double pepperoni for lunch the other day. I thought it was spectacular. The only thing better is the pizza from a small mom and pop down the street. 

Does the southern hemisphere have different names for the seasons? Is December still winter in Australia, or is it summer for them?

Full disclosure, I’m a white woman, but I am fiercely proud of this moment in history, seeing our first female vice president, and someone I much preferred over Biden, to boot.

Bless your wife for being among those on the frontline, and you and your daughter for making the needed sacrifices to make everyone as safe as possible. 

Dude... I was texting with my bestie during the episode and when Peter got one small critique in his showstopper, Dave let out this exhalation of smugness that prompted me to text SHUT UP, DAVE! in all caps to her, which made her laugh really hard.

There is a novel that has Yaddle dying between Episodes 1 and 2. Although it’s Legends, it’s likely they’re continuing to use that.

Couple fun easter eggs I haven’t seen discussed much (like at all in the case of the first):

Oh, I’m sure there were others. We just don’t have any information about them, at this point.

I’m also certain there were Jedi who joined the Mandalorians, aside from Etain and crew from the old Republic Commando series, but we haven’t had any eyes on them, so to speak.

This may be my new favorite episode.

Right... but under normal circumstances, they would also be going to jobs and doing other stuff during that week, not just spending it practicing, so I feel like it evens out.

Kate, you seem to be under the mistaken impression that the contestants don’t get to practice this season. They DO. It’s been mentioned multiple places.

Except Loki legitimately morphed into a heroic character, not just one who begrudgingly helps the good guys because he has an unresolved/unrequited love/obsession.

Fair point. I did grimace when she announced her flavors for the Battenburg, but, like I said... I clearly cannot be trusted to judge because I’m too easily charmed. ;-)

I’m so happy GBBO/S is back. The moment the song started, it was so comforting and my friend whom I was watching with agreed we both felt better.

Agreed! 

Ugh, sorry, you specified Jane Austen. My bad for lacking reading comprehension.
