Do you hide the PIN from yourself so you don't take and publish nude pictures of random people at the gym?

Damsels in distress? Are there any of those in the three Captain Americas or Guardians? Or Dr. Strange? Or Antman? Or Avengers?

Life finds a way.

It wasn't a US politician was it? It was a U.K. guy.

I just noticed the owl cookie jar in "Dougie's" kitchen. What does it mean?

Thor (and Marvel) sells himself so he doesn't need a star to sell him. It's different.

Cabs in my city have a phone app. You can call them pretty easily. Clearly, your cabs need to get with the convenience program.

Cab drivers in my city never make you talk. I use cabs.

It does seem like it works best for people who want part-time work or supplementary income. That said, asking someone who works for you to "be honest" isn't much of a guarantee of honesty. Especially when they have no idea what you'll do with the info.

That makes sense, except he seemed surprised to me by how sick he got in the car, like he wasn't expecting it. Though perhaps he didn't expect to feel anything (because Dougie would take his place) and that's why he was surprised.

I guess the darkness and bleakness worked for me (so far) because it seemed to be saying, "This is what happens when you lose your champions. When evil tries to drain the joy from the world." It made me hope for Cooper's return even more. Of course, I don't know what the ultimate message is yet, so my feelings might…

You might already know, but there's a spoiler space where we can talk about three and four.

Yeah but I got the impression that he was made from Mike or the Arm. Obviously I could be completely wrong there. I tend to let the mythology wash over me rather than try to understand too thoroughly.

Heh! He's part Arm. Or part Mike?
