I like the Richard Dawson album. It’s easy to listen to an imagine being in a world full of different kinds of noises.

I wonder if it jumps forward into the 90s, following the decade jumping pattern of the previous three.

This causes me to sigh a bit, because while I’m a big fan of the X-films in general and glad to see this story getting a re-do, I haven’t come around to Turner as Jean Grey. This series got a lot more hit-and-miss with casting in Apocalypse, for whatever reason.

Yeah, I enjoyed Ragnarok but it worked for Thor mostly because Thor needed saving from oblivion. The humor wasn’t so much a good fit, although the actors certainly did well with it, so much as a lifeline for that franchise, which had been spinning its wheels and needed a breath of life.

I could buy my own ship for that much.

Maybe this is actually storyboards from what was meant to be the next unappealingly long ‘short’ planned to run before an upcoming animated feature. The short was canceled after the unspeakable Olaf debacle, and some enterprising person decided to write some alternate dialogue.

Apparently my life has been insufficiently charmed.

I don’t know, I think that it’s easy to remember that Kerrigan was the victim of a brutal crime. It’s her horribly pained sound byte that’s the most striking artifact of this whole episode.

In Chicago? Can we expect some AV Club staff cameos?

Well, it hasn’t happened yet.

Twist: Skynet was actually the Millennials.

This is a very internet way to begin a comment, but am I the only one who thought that Jonah and Victor were the same person until reading this review? I mistook Marsters and McMahon for the same actor with differing old/young makeup and that it was Victor visiting Geoffey in prison at the start. (EDIT: No, I couldn’t…

There’s at least some optimism in some of his stuff.

Good name, if somewhat bland in comparison.

Water is murder, water is life.

Huh, I actually did enjoy most of this episode. As someone else said, Ronan doesn’t try to overwhelm the sketches, and she fits in nicely. Good work from Keenan and Day as well.

I love Bill Hader but I’m not sure that I can imagine him getting that character to seem like an actual guy trying to fly under the radar the way that Day did.

Maybe it’s a different island.

I put “last few years” into my comment because Fox kind of turned it around after X-Men Origins: Wolverine, doing some soft rebooting and generally making better movies. The only film since then that I don’t like is X-Men: Apocalypse.

Fox doesn’t seem to have the level of masterplan that Disney does, but the X-Men related films have arguably turned out well as often as Disney’s MCU stuff over the past few years. Fantastic Four, of course, not so much.
