oh, man, I'm rewatching PoI and thus revisiting these reviews and comments, and this exchange between us has taken on new dimensions now that it's been announced Jonathan Nolan is going to be developing Foundations for television.

Wuv…twu wuv…

For whatever reason that song made me think of The Spice Girls more than anything else.

I mean, the entire resurrection scene was, in concept, basically a Princess Bride reference, but as others pointed out Sid's line was a nearly direct lift. (You can also see Sid's super Jewish family as a kind of reference to Billy Crystal and his wife in TPB.)

Holt: "My middle name…is Jacob."
Jake: "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It's because they actually get nervous around each other when their whole characters are based on bluster and sadism. It's the contrast.

The Forest of Coincidence seemed like, among other things, a very direct wink to Into the Woods, the fairytale musical with like five separate plots that constantly cross over as all the characters run into each other in the woods.

The way they shot that scene where she met him at his house suggested to me someone was watching. So, you know, everything's probably fine.

As far as I recall they couldn't get Lyndsy Fonseca back for scheduling reasons, but that could be lies or just me being wrong.

That fucking killed me. That was some Looney Tunes shit.

PEGGY FOR WONDER WOMAN

Precisely my point :)

Thanks for confirming, madam.

The Zero Matter was in a season 1 Agents of SHIELD episode, I'm 99% sure.

Loved this. I'm really enjoying Jarvis in a more firmly comedic role (though I hope he and Peggy get to have another serious emotional scene—those were some of the best of last season), and Ana is a delight. I really like Jason; glad to hear he's probably not dead, as that would have been not only poor representation…

The Darkforce also showed up on Agents of SHIELD at one point, looking pretty much exactly like this, so it's gotta be.

No, but he could listen every time she tells him she hates him and she hated every minute of what he made her do. He is fixated on this 18-second interlude because it's the only thing close to an argument he can make, because everything else that has ever happened between them a) was against her will and not her…

Okay, so if it doesn't mean what he says and thinks it means, then he's still delusional, isn't he?

Haha, I was like, "Is that…is she…OH SHIT SHE IS"
