When Agents Of Shield gave a baddie the power to magically disintegrate people, they went all out on an elaborate effect for it.

While it's not a whole plot, I recently rewatched and rediscovered what I think might be his best "rambling at Bob" moment: refusing to shut up as the show starts in Hamburger Dinner Theater.

"I'm not some kind of air doctor"

Ugh, then you're much too boring a person to spend time talking to at 2am. Sleep sweet.

I had to pause the episode to give myself time to stop laughing after "hey hey hey - memba the cold war?"

Well, that's the beauty of it - it only stands out to *us* because it's a weird line to include *in a television show*. Between it being an unnecessary line from a script perspective (in a show that doesn't exactly waste a tonne of words) and the music cue, it catches your attention.

They already made a Tetris movie and it's *glorious*

It wasn't full of bullets though - it only had one left, and after she gutshot the cyborg, she tried several more but it was empty. Not sure what to make of that though.

License yo kids, license yo wife…

The reality of copyright law when it comes to things like fair use, parody, transformative works, etc. is that it's all grey areas.

gold armour is so impractical you can't even build it in Dwarf Fortress without mods
