Chanel being in a long con crossed my mind, but I kind of prefer to think that the point is that even if you look down on everyone because you're super rich and your parents came in the Mayflower, you can still be seen as trash by someone richer who arrived in "that boat that came before the Mayflower."

Oh my goodness! Ernest J Coddleton is secretly Chanel #3!
It all makes sense now.

Watch Merlin's swordfight "sparring" with Nyssa again.

When you let one cockroach live, you're never letting just one cockroach live.

He was not mobile. He was crushed by a bus. Whoever picked him up had to be the one.

Well, the movie did indicate that he was so much more committed and driven than any of the other recruits that he would be considered for the serum despite his physical inadecuacies. It is to be expected that he trained that much more intesely than the others. Sort of like Rudy getting the serum and going to the NFL.

Hulk definitely has a style. The way he fought Loki informed his character more than his previous two full solo feature films put together. No other character could have taken his place there.

I'm still a little confused about Jessica's powers. I mean, her strength is clear but, in the first episode, she seemed to be able to catch up with a sports car without effort (so I thought she had super speed) and this episode she was barely able to keep up with a running middle-aged academic.

I'm not surprised because everytime she has opened her mouth since the first episode, I've thought, "that's a dude talking." I just couldn't point out why.

I'm pretty sure I saw him walking around New York in the 90s in Gargoyles.

I would have probably used the super breath to freeze his hand, so he couldn't push the trigger. Not ideal, but him tripping and blowing himself up is too much of a risk.

I'm really getting to like her in that evil? twisted way in which I like Loki, and Missy, and the Riddler '66.

He did not acknowledge her at all! He did not remember that he met his own daughter by surprise and that they talked about a potentially life-changing decision for her. So absorbed by getting a bad review in a student paper that his daughter didn't even blink into his memory of the tour.
What is wrong with this guy!

I think that was Helen's dad.

Well there was a new cast member introduced this episode (albeit briefly) and I thought the whole scene where the bull arrived was spectacularly directed.

But why would there be marauders when there is an excess of everything free for the taking?

Not explicitly, but A) they had been using the mineral from that quarry, they had run out it, and were desperate to get more. And B) The quarry still had samples of the mineral at surface level. It would seem that the robots would be crazy if they were doing anything else.

To be fair, it's Portland so rainstorms are one of the few conveniences that they can reliably count on.

You mean like… a writer?

Well, actually there is a group out there kidnapping Grimms. The only reason they didn't kidnap Nick from his old house like they did Trubel was that he had tested negative for Grimmness when they checked him. But Chavez told them on the phone that they were wrong and Nick is a Grimm. A Grimm baby might be a target…
