There are a lot of great emotional shots in this episode, but the one that stuck with me didn't even have a character in it. As the credits ran, with the camera focused on the birthday invite, and the backgrounds sounds of screams, chaos, and the end of the world as we know it, that's the image that sticks with me…

If Phineas and Ferb isn't in the later installments, there may be a riot in the comments.

At first I though that Milwaukee was some sort of fake trap, since all the buildings were different that Cal expected, and there was a theme to it… 3 Currency Exchanges (In Milwaukee?) and shuttered buildings with covered up windows.

Wait, an action movie where a woman kicks ass and actually has the build of a fighter?  MADNESS!

Blitz: The League brought back my love of Blitz, and learning to manage a team where injuries were possible was a challenge.  I also loved building my own team.  Seriously, just looking at the team logos you could choose made me want to make more teams.
