My favorite running gag was that Nate clanked any time anyone touched him or he bumped into something. 

That was my thought in response to the skepticism regarding grown-ass men still being obsessed with youth sports. I grew up in Texas, and, boy howdy, do many adult men still define themselves by their high school football days. 

I would very much enjoy a special with a Beebo puppet and the Puppets of Tomorrow. 

I have boiled down my feelings on AoU to this: It’s more frustrating than anything else because you can see pieces of a good movie in there but it never coalesces and gets bogged down in weird decision-making and an excessive number of quips, even for an MCU movie. 

I could probably write a dissertation on all of the ways season four of Angel troubles me, but her short arc in that season is amazing.

I literally cackled with glee. 

There was a moment in one of the flashback scenes where Sara and Snart that made me remember how into Captain Canary I was in S1. 

It was! His hair was just waaaay different (and he did not have facial hair?), and they actually let him be as ridiculous as a man with bird wings on Legends should be. 

I’m not mad she wasn’t around, but I would have enjoyed a meta barista reference. 

It also plays later in the season when Snart and Sara attack the Time Masters to rescue the rest of the team. 

It’s not even the first time they did it for Jax: in the Victorian vampire episode, he uses a British accent in the morgue, albeit one that’s a bit less posh than the one he used here. I’m not sure which is closer to his actual accent!

Now that Dr. McNider is back... CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GO GET THAT POOR OWL?

It’s enjoyable, but the best part is the visuals. “Sumptuous” is the word that comes to mind thinking of the colors and textures in that movie. Plus the dress! To me, a not insignificant factor in a Cinderella adaptaion is The Dress. Both the 2015 Cinderella and Ever After succeeded in that category.

One of the best moments, which is fleeting but, as always, Angelica Huston sells the hell out of it, is when Rodmilla casually mentions how her mother never found anything clean enough and would make her scrub her skin until it was raw. 

It kind of undercuts her argument that it’s about a quality experience and reveals that her real issue seems to revolve around the damage to egos. 

Astra and Spoons’s friendship is one of my favorite things about this season (second perhaps only to Spoons generally). It was genuinely probably the most seamless way to get Astra on board with being on a team. And yes, Matt Ryan and Lisseth Chavez were fantastic this week, but so was Olivia Swann.

She was def a fork again. I giggled. Because that does imply that everyone has an inanimate object alter ego. Like a patronus, but a knickknack. 

Snart has some of my favorite last words ever. 

Her interview with John Oliver on the LWT Public Shaming episode is truly fantastic. She’s awesome. 

At the very least, it was exceptionally questionable to set that chunk of the movie in the Middle East. You’re in the 80s! The USSR is right there!
