Tig Notaro is actually playing Spock. 

I gave up on this show back in the day when (a) Olivia sold herself into slavery, (b) Rowan just wouldn’t die, (c) Huck straight up dismembered someone and we were supposed to think of him as a sympathetic character because he has a murder addiction (wtf?). Seeing this headline and that photo just messages to me that…

You guys are both right. In the comics, the parents are evil, but they also love their kids.

They’re living in some kind of universe with superpowers and aliens and advanced tech, otherwise they should have been way more freaked out about Molly and Karo’s powers, Old Lace, and the Staff of One.

I like Marsters a lot, but I can’t imagine him “costing” the show more, salary wise, than most of the other parents really. Hell, most of my Buffy obsessed fans didn’t even recognize him until half way through.

But it isn’t actually that far from the comics. In the comics the parents loved their children and were all about protecting them, ultimately sacrificing their own lives in that pursuit. The parents were never a danger to the kids in the comics, the kids just thought they were.

I’m kind of shocked as I’m about to defend this show, but the Alex/Nico dynamic actually made sense. Not only did Alex drastically betray Nico’s trust by keeping the Amy stuff secret, he didn’t really show any true remorse or offer reasonable explanation about doing so. Additionally Alex used that search for the…

I knew I wasn’t the only one who thought that. During that entire scene, I kept waiting for Jonah to club Frank over the head and toss him in.

Yeah, I thought the point was supposed to be “kids run away because their parents are actual supervillains,” not “kids run away because it’s really hard for their parents to protect them from a crazy supervillain.” Bizarre choice to put most of the parents under some random creep’s thumb.

It is possible (but not likely) that the actual Gibborhim are at the bottom of that hole. ....Which means Molly dropped a truck on their heads, so that’s funny.

Marvel debuted *7* new shows this year (5 in the MCU, 2 in the X-Men franchise). The Punisher, Legion, and The Gifted were, to my knowledge, well-received (some of the negative reviews for The Punisher were really just gun-control diatribes). The Defenders was a’ight. Runaways decayed exponentially as the season…

So, I simultaneously think that taking a full season for the kids to run away was the right choice, and yet the series did it in all the wrong ways. They just wasn’t enough plot here to justify a full season. They made some smart choices - like rounding out the parents and adding more conflicts there - but then…

The most frustrating thing is you can *see* the bones of a much better show there. I’m glad they got the renewal since I think there is a chance they can learn from this season and tighten things up - but I’m honestly surprised they got the green light for one after that finale.

Do you ever wear weird makeup? If you play around you try stuff out that is not common. Since she has a whole antisocial character and make-up addict type thing I understand it. Ex gothy clubby person back in the day here. It makes sense to me, although she’s weirdly business casual with jewelry and spikes. That’s an…

A show based on a comic, you’re expected to suspend some disbelief, but at least once in every episode, there’s something that pulls me out of the show. In addition to the happenstance of Darius staking out the location at night, himself — I assume he’s going to be instrumental in the kids getting away — I don’t know…

“There was something very...off about the videotape from Molly’s parents. Especially Vladimir Caamano as Gene Hernandez, who recited a series of possible cataclysmic events with the enthusiasm of a shopping list.”

I can’t believe I’m watching yet another Marvel show centered on the plot “villains dig mysterious hole in major city.”

At least Molly actually ran away from somewhere in this one.

Okay, who let Vince Russo write a scene? Making Tina not the one who killed Molly’s parents so clearly exists entirely for the sake of being a twist, so instead of a perfectly sensible scene of her using the staff to blow up their house, we’re supposed to believe they just plain didn’t notice the giant obvious bomb…

The Pride’s master plan better not be digging up dragon bones to grind into immortality powder.
