I have a friend with a decades long career in the industry. I asked him once which actor’s public persona was most ad odds with what they’re actually like in person. His answer, instantly, was Bill Murray. Said he worked on films with him where he was a total nightmare, but would step off set and be photographed that…

You don’t even know what he’s accused of yet, and already you’re just so angry that anyone would dare to get him in trouble.

Keeley is vaporware?

You... You do realize that plagiarism was a thing in 2005, right? 

Well, Dubai Air is a made up airline. (Etihad is the actual national airline of the UAE and somewhat amusingly in context of the show, they sponsor Man City). And I’m not sure Sam’s protest was against DA but their parent company - he’s trying to drive attention to that company’s abuses to the Nigerian land and people.

To provide context to American viewers: although the UK is in general, outside of a small number of troglodytes, very committed to LGBT rights, and there is very little stigma surrounding being gay these days (none at all in much of society), gay men don’t exist in football. At all. AT. ALL. Last year there was an…

So did they.

Olsen absolutely deserved the nod. She took what could have easily been written off as “just more Marvel” and made it in to something bigger.

Were those other things really foreshadowing? Mephisto wasn’t so much actually foreshadowed, that seemed to be much more fanwank speculation. Falcon & The Winter Solider visited Madripoor, which was a big element of the Power Broker plot. It was an location. Did you think it was teasing an appearance from Patch or…

Hey, here’s an idea! You could add reviews of the final two episodes of season 2, since AV Club abandoned it mid-season two years ago, and then you could throw in your review of this while you’re at it!   Just a thought.

Yeah, Joshua must have mistaken him with his twin brother from Wandavision.

I confirmed it, but frankly knowing it was supposed to be Miles makes more suspicious of the character. (He’s just so good at playing creeps.) Pearce was also quoted as saying there was a narrative “point” to the existence of his character, so do with that what you will.

Aw Evan Peters. His character was clearly the namesake of one of the executive producers right?

The message is don’t be a toxic asshole. Especially one bad enough to cause five writers to quit en masse in protest of your profound asshattery.

A waste of Simone Missick’s talents?

Nah, I don’t think so. I think the cringe factor is fair.

Well thanks for sticking a Bananarama song in my head! 

Ah, so you’re hoping for a stealth Eleventh Hour reunion?  Someone get Arthur Darvill’s agent on the line...

Yeah, when he said “I know what this place is” I was like, yeah, me too, I’ve been Dragoncon drunk on those elevators more times than I can count.

Marvel really like shooting at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis. It showed up in the Homecoming trailer as well (though I think the shot was changed for the actual movie).
