That was my issue with early trailers. In the book they had a pretty good explanation: Halliday loved the 1980's, he designed this and left his fortune to whoever could figure out his easter eggs, so boom... worshiping the 1980's was born. It was pretty clever. It sounds like there’s an explanation in the movie, so…

Damnit, I really wanted to hate this*. I really, really, did. But the advertisements, the director, the actors, and now these reviews really make me excited for this. If A.A. Dowd likes it, the I’m going to love it.

I didn’t say it was a GOOD plan.

Deep Space Nine is the best, obviously, so I like your Kira metaphor. (Probably more apt, given the material.)

So... would Captain Marvel be a Troi episode? Because those suck. I swear to God if her mother in law shows up to sexually harass Nick Fury I’m out.

I wondered why the latest trailer started with Han hitting a juke box.

Who would have thought what would probably have been a plotline for Arrested Development - Star Wars production going off the rails - would happen in real life and fixed with the narration of Ron Howard.

This whole thing is only out there to distract from the fact that Cheers was invented by Vampires to keep people at home so they could stalk the night. That’s why the also allowed us to spin-off to Fraiser. The rise of DVR and streaming services has allowed us to make a schedule and go out at night, which is why…

Please... PLEASE let this feature a dance off between Captain Marvel and Ronan. That will make his confusion in Guardians 1 that much more funny.

I loved Black Panther and it deserves it’s praise, but I really think that Infinity War might still surpass this, based on sheer scope and size of the movie itself. That’s not a bad thing, it’s a statement on Marvel’s quality: always try to top yourself. Thor: Ragnorock did a big broad superhero/space/comedy mashup,…

Eden Sher is going to have a great career after this. I thought about it more and everyone on that show is amazing, so perhaps my 90% for Neil Flynn was a bit much. But I do think he’s an amazing actor.

Good because I have this theory that Neil Flynn working consistently is the only thing keeping this planet together. Be hilarious, and run another 9 years, lest the apocalypse comes upon us.

I have the same problem.

I’ve said this elsewhere (I think IO9, but I’m in Kinja prison there so I don’t know what gets posted.)

As near perfect as Thor: Ragnorock was, I was really disappointed that one of the post credits scenes wasn’t Jane Foster exploring the site where Mjo... Mohn... Thor’s Hammer was destroyed, picking up the handle, then distant Thunder. Could have set up the new Avengers perfectly.

Translation: “There’s been a lot of speculation that X dies, so let’s go ahead and throw some fuel on the fire and say Captain America dies.”

The air the episodes so far apart and don’t air reruns so you don’t have time to notice these things.

It’s good BBQ sauce, and it’s popular for a reason. I use it when I don’t have any of my own handy.

I used to do BBQ Competitions in KCBS (Kansas City BBQ Society), and the secret to a LOT of people’s BBQ was Sweet Baby Rays with something added to it. (Usually Apple Cider Vinegar)
