"No no, Noah, I didn't say CUBIT! I just really wanted you to be sure to bring your Atari on the Ark."

Plus a lot of the animals (unicorns, mermaids, dragons and such and such) wound up getting used as feed for the animals Noah liked better.

Yeah, you bring up a good point.

I used to be into that kind of thing. Not so much anymore.

Yep. As Hunter Thompson said- you buy the ticket, you take the ride.

Fitz was HOLDING it!

Could be, but that would be an awful waste of Hydra Bob, who was a fantastic supporting Deadpool character for a long time. Interesting thought, though.

Again, that's assuming this is even a legit SHIELD facility, which I doubt. Besides, these guys did not operate like cream-of-the-crop top field agents. I wouldn't expect them to necessarily recognize some semi-well-known agents on sight. I WOULD expect them to follow their orders, which were "if anyone who doesn't…

Again, all of that could have been a lie. You can't just open up your secret medical facility to every Tom, Dick, and Harry that wanders up crying about a gutshot team member. Those guys might be trying to rob you (which, again, is actually what the team WAS trying to do- they had no right to be there, no clearance,…

They had playful banter!

Well, where was it made obvious to the guards that the heavily-armed group of intruders actually DID have a medical emergency? From the guard's point of view, a bunch of maniacs with machine guns are breaking into the facility they're paid good money to keep people out of.

In their defense, that's their job. If you don't know the passphrase, then you aren't authorized to be there. For all they knew, the "dying person in need of medical attention" was just a ruse to get them to drop their guards. I think they did exactly the right thing (well, up to the point where they adamantly refused…

That's an excellent point. Those guys seemed like EXACTLY the sorts to fund secret self-destructing mountain bases with cut-in-half alien dudes hidden deep inside them.

Touche, but I'm also terminally lazy, so.

Honestly, I've been champing at the bit for them to get around to introducing AIM. It's basically the perfect enemy organization for this show (does anyone even care about "Centipede"?), and I keep expecting it to pop up.

I do recall one of the guards (after he was shot) saying something about how the doctors are…

I think it's an open question whether or not that was a legit SHIELD facility they invaded. The only indication that it is so far is Fitz and Simmons finding that the last person to go there was a "Level 10", who they assume was Nick Fury. I think it's more likely there are other Level 10s we don't know about (Robert…

This is actually mostly second-book stuff so yeah, haha definitely be wary!

It took me a couple tries to get into the series, but I am fully hooked now. If you're at all interested in it, I really suggest sticking with it. It's worth it.

I have a de facto uniform consisting of jeans and a zip-up hoodie for the exact opposite reasons- I'm lazy as hell and can't be bothered.

There's lots and lots of Hellblazer to choose from, is the thing. If you have a favorite British comic book author, the odds are quite good that they wrote John's book for at least a while. My personal favorite run by far is Mike Carey's, but Garth Ennis had a pretty good stretch too. Ennis wrote what's probably THE…

It's a detective show with some strong textual Lovecraftian influences, apparently (though there's likely nothing actually supernatural going on). I've really wanted to watch it, but alas I don't get HBO.
