“We’d like to replace all the Batman ‘66 onomatopoeia freeze frames with severed heads, but keep all the Romero / Kitt / Meredith schlock.”

“So I just make the check out to Warner Brothers ... ?”

OMFG, totally forgot that. 

Just imagine FX network-level X-Men tv shenanigans, and Lauren on the hammock, in the shade, sighing with exasperation as shit explodes around her.

My problem with Aloha State was that Cheri proved to be a gaslighting jerk.

And that as much as I wanted to hate Taishi, and I really wanted to hate the guy, I just couldn’t. Congrats to Chikako & Taishi on finding that Love Worth Dying For™. 

Instead of Switch, I was hoping Lauren would play a version of Psylocke who prefers baggy shorts & leggins > blue bikini’s, and doesn’t give a single fuck about reading other people’s lame-ass thoughts.

Depraved Millennialionaires.

Cathartic to see President Garrison in handcuffs, if even for a throwaway shot.

Late to the threads - anybody else think it’s bonkers that the cereal box featured serial killer trivia, but the jokes hit so fast you forgot about it for the rest of the episode?

As a cyclist, I truly appreciate the edit / update. It saved me from wondering why my clothes would turn into sweat-activated total-body slime halfway up a cold winter climb.

Proyas acknowledged that he was a huge Akira fan too, which totally makes sense for this climax - and is a clearly-filtered influence on the Neo vs. 1,000 Agent Smiths Matrix series finale.

Captain America rounds a corner: “Logan?!?”

Wolverine, hacking at Thanos’dogs: “Choirboy?!? How are you ... ?”

Johnny Storm: “Why’s that guy got my face?!?”

Adonis Creed: “God dammit.”

Wasn’t there, like a MASSIVE WILDFIRE, flames within visible range of Castle Rock, 4 episodes ago?

Who buys property while shit like that’s going down?

And who opens a fucking Bed & Breakfast, Murder-Themed or no, while the woods around them are literally going up in flames?

Shoutout to Maria Bava’s Black Sunday w that spiked mask hammered into place. 

I just rewatched this episode for the first time (introducing my partner to it since she was stoked on some weak-sauce History Channel docudrama about Rome). It was interesting to see Nasir reveal Agron’s lie to Crixus so soon, but justified due to his previous scene w/ Crixus.

The Raging Gaul approached and confirmed…

3:01 - BART Police Chief Rojas makes it clear this murderer changed his clothes to alter his appearance as he escaped, “which, in my opinion, is a Consciousness of Guilt of an individual who knows that the Police are responding and he’s done something really bad.”

I feel this also indicates premeditation to plan a…

Bobcat Goldthwait def should voice Beast Boy when he’s transformed into animals.

Especially since Ruffalo’s got comedy chops, I’d love to see HULK: Worst Day Ever, in which Bruce Banner gets stuck in Traffic, has to wait at DMV, gets his food order wrong, etc...

Basically it’s Falling Down, but instead of going on a rampage, Banner’s just frustrated and annoyed for 90min. At the finale Bruce…

Speaking of missed Earth-X opportunities: I wish Doppelgänger Barry Allen was a Richard Spencer-type during the Crossover, getting interviewed by Nazi TV, when Our Professior Stein walks up and suckerpunches him the fuck out, cheering L’Chaim! 

Rest in Power, Doctor Martin Stein.

Or we could all just re-watch Ken Russell’s Gothic.
