In the real world, mind control is the only power worth having. Any superpower that can be replaced by machinery, or by a sufficient number of laborers, is kind of pointless. If I could control minds, I could simply waltz into the Koch Brothers’ offices and make them stop being evil. (Who gets to say what “evil” is,…

FLAWLESS. VICTORY.

The Amazon narrative isn’t really true in this one specific instance. This was Bain Capital hollowing them out with debt so they could never invest in improvements, until the business became unsustainable in the face of new challenges

Did anyone else think the clone looked weirdly like Live Schreiber as Sabertooth?

This is all Mitt Romney’s fault.

Just so everyone knows: you have gigantic pieces of shit like Mitt Romney to thank for this happening, folks. Toys R Us was actually doing well as a business before Bain Capital came in and ruined it with debt. They did the same thing to KB Toys too.

“Had we continued down that path we would have had effectively a remake of the original trilogy -” Uh, the third part’s story has yet to be revealed. The ST might well end up being a total rehash of the OT, what with the director of the Wrath of Khan ripoff and all...

“Its the last Star Trek anything to use model work” - no, it isn’t. I distinctly remember seeing BTS model footage of the Enterprise head-on collision from Nemesis: Memory Alpha confirms this, though it was a partial saucer section model.

“If Finn and Rose didn’t go to Canto Bight... how would you propose the First Order discovered the Resistance forces were offboarding to an abandoned outpost on a nearby planet?”

Yeah! It’s not as though the FO had any Force users who had displayed impressive psychic powers, and might be able to track other Force…

I took issue with the subhead that Kryston Ritter was the greatest strength of S1 of JJ. Kilgrave was the reason I kept watching. It was kind of a Batman dynamic where the hero plays the straight man to the much more interesting villains. They even share the “became as hero because villians traumitized me” backstory.

How can such false notes survive in what appears to be a passion project for all involved?

“I wasn’t ready to see a live-action Winnie the Pooh this morning. I just wasn’t.”

I don’t know why I stuck around this long, or why this specific episode - out of all the boring/infuriating episodes - was my breaking point. But this one made me stop watching. Guess I’ll stick with recaps for a while longer and watch a new series on Netflix.

The only winning move is not to swipe.

“Hi I’m the flash I wanna protect you”

Because it got really, really good in season 2?

Netflix’s DVD service still exists. And is still better than Blockbuster. Wasn’t it that, not streaming, that killed the brick ‘n mortars?

Amazon has a shit ton of movies that are available to rent or buy and not part of Prime. They all cost less than 20 bucks (which is a fraction of what people used to spend on VHS movies and comparable to dvds). There are more movies to watch than people have time to watch them. The streaming era kicks serious ass for…

Of course Canon Luke never had a wife. Canon Luke, Han, and Leia are miserable failures at everything, and we’re all dummies for having believed in them. :P

If a few years ago somebody had told me that a one-time Superman actor playing Ray Palmer by way of Ted Kord and 2 Broke Girls’ Max’s ex playing a dude-bro Citizen Steel would be two of my favorite TV characters ever, I wouldn’t have believed it. Yet here we are.
