Daredevil S1 sort of settles into "meh" in my mind. Lost some of it's entertainment in the somewhat repetitive second half and I think it peaked early with the Jack Murdock stuff/Hallway fight.
THAT SAID: S2 might be retroactively coloring my opinion of the first season. Because since S2 I haven't been able to

Definitely the weakest episode in the series, in my opinion. I don't particularly think Mike Colter was bad; I would put all of the problems with Reva's betrayal in the writing, which did not give the moment anywhere near the importance it deserved, and had a weird platitude thing instead of actual anguish for Luke

Ultimate X-Men was the first real comic I read with any regularity (It helped that my library had trades of them) and it has a special place in my heart. I still consider the original arc to be a pretty perfect template for an X-Men reboot (Not that I want that, necessarily), even if Days of Future Past stole the

She does indeed. I liked Logan a lot more, and I couldn't have cared less last week.

True. In, I think, the second trade of Ultimate X-Men: Sabretooth wonders why no one's tried that while he's holding Logan's head under water. I read that pretty young, and it stuck with me.

I'm with you on Maeve and Lawrence (I'm loving the humor from his character), but I'm not super into Hector. He can be entertaining, but he's a little too high-schooler-who-just-discovered-existentialism for me sometimes.

I was thinking the same thing.

Didn't think of that. She very well might be. I had assumed she was from Hell's Kitchen. If she is, she doesn't show any of the connection to that neighborhood that we see from Mariah, Misty, Shades, Domingo, or Cottonmouth, though.

You've articulated my thoughts exactly. i was a little surprised that the review was so hostile toward what I consider to be one the best scenes of the season. The episode as a whole is one of my favorites of the post-Cottonmouth/Enter-Diamondback era.

Good points. I would love to see Mariah use some creativity. That's always been a pet peeve of mine, that no one ever tries to drown Luke Cage or Wolverine. As to whether they actually duke it out: I guess it'll depend if the writers are going to bring in an(other) outside villain in to Harlem next season. Because

I'm interested in seeing how a Mariah/Shades criminal empire would work. Neither seem super interested in expansion over safety, so would they become more of a "best of the worst" situation for Luke and Misty; wherein they're more stable than whoever is trying to take over? Or would they be a big bad for a season?

I don't think it enhanced her character, but it did give her the most screen time and that's not a bad thing. Especially considering how DD wastes her.

I like the contrast between Burstein, who's outwardly helpful but inwardly obsessed with recreating his experiment; and the other doughy white guy (the therapist), who seems suspicious and underhanded but is legitimately trying to help Misty. I also don't think I'm as hostile towards the therapist as the reviewer but

Cannonball Run is not a great movie by any stretch. I haven't seen it in years, and I'm not sure if I want to see if it holds up.

I wouldn't say most cherished. I just owned it, and it was in the rotation of movies.

DVD's were invented a year before I was born. Cannonball Run was my introduction to literally every actor in Cannonball Run. Burt Reynolds, Dom Deluise, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, all of them.
You're all closer to death.

I hate what the movies did to Cyclops so much. (He's one of my favorite X-men, so I'm biased) I like James Marsden a lot, but he does nothing in that role. It's a horrible representation.

I grew up with a DVD of the Cannonball Run that my mom let me have for no discernible reason. It was a deeply confusing movie for a 9 year-old. I'm still fond of it, though.

Creatures? Jesus dude, I was on board with every suggestion prior to "federalize the national guard" and then you had to go and make it next-level racist.

Thiel's motivations are impossible to disregard for me He's technically done nothing wrong, and I don't think anything he did impeded anyone's rights but it's vaguely unsettling. He used the Justice System to get revenge and he was able to do it because he has money. The Mr. Potter-like motivations and funding make
