Deservedly. Because Three Billboards is terrible.

I remember watching Star Trek when I was a kid and thinking “this is cool and all, but I wish there were more references to the characters killing and eating each other.”

They can win! All they need is an offense, a defense, and some rule changes.

On Nico’s inconsistent dialogue, I honestly didn’t notice it because I don’t take smartass teens literally. Dialogue aside, the dynamic in that scene was something like,

Well, it would have made sense plus the blocking made it look like she may have really killed him. My reaction to her slash was first “oh, did she just kill him?” And then it was, “oh, so you went for the cheek then? That’s an interesting choice, Jemma.” Maybe the cheek slash is supposed to be a dig at Kasius’

No. The slash went across his cheek. I went back and watched it frame by frame because when I watched it I saw a face slash but everyone on the internet saw a throat slit.

It went quickly, but the slash was definitely across his left cheek and not his throat.

I was surprised everyone was calling it was a throat slash, when I had though that she slashed his face. My frame-by-frame rewatch confirms that Jemma slashed across his left cheek and not his throat.

Michelle Kwan got passed over for the 1994 Olympic team for Nancy Kerrigan. Of course, that situation was a tad more unusual than the white woman getting low scores.

I would totally watch football if they started awarding style points! The players would start doing all kinds of cool shit instead of just smashing into each other all the time! Triple salchow jump catch? Nine points!

My pessimistic guess is that they’re lying about using plastic because they don’t want to tell people that they’re putting plastic in their drinks.

They explicitly claim that it’s sugar, when it’s not. Even if it’s a plant or mineral based non-toxic glitter, (which I see no reason to presume, given how they’re clearly just outright lying about what the glitters are made of) it’s not what they’re saying it is.

This company is claiming that the glitter is made from crystal sugar and edible food coloring. Lies. Sugar dissolves. It wouldn’t just float on top of a hot drink. In reality, the glitters are probably plastic, and you really shouldn’t drink them.

I choose to believe this is a real conversation between Pope Francis and Alien Jesus

Well being shown dying doesn’t mean that she’s dead :) I think the in-universe explanation is that she was assumed dead until the 198 Files came out and she was listed as being one of the remaining powered mutants. Even then, she didn’t do a whole lot before getting smoked (wordplay!) in X-Force.

Beautiful Dreamer didn’t die until 2009. She survived the Mutant Massacre and even kept her powers after M-Day. It wasn’t until the Leper Queen injected her with the Legacy virus that she died as a crazy pink-smoke memory bomb that killed a bunch of anti-mutant protesters.

I doubt she’s gone for good. They’ll bring her back as a hound, patched up and brainwashed a-la Pulse. All the groundwork is there. They specifically mentioned in this episode that having one of them turned is their #1 fear. Also, Thunderbird’s girlfriend getting turned would parallel his best friend getting turned

YAAAS AMERICA CHAVEZ!

They seem to not know what all the refugees’ powers are, which is strange given that it’s highly relevant information. For instance, last week, they completely forgot they had a telepath even though they were in a situation where their first thought should have been, “Go get the telepath.” Ditto the illusions kid when

Ooh, I hear you, girl!
