Disagree.  It had its ups and downs, but the final season was actually pretty strong, and the series finale hit all the right notes.

Also the pilot was originally written as a feature film, and retooled as a TV pilot, which is part of why Hathaway lived.

By 1999, DC writers tried to retcon in “Hypertime” to replace the Multiverse and by 52 in 2006, Geoff Johns, Mark Waid, Grant Morrison, and Greg Rucka were just like “Fuck it, let’s bring back the Multiverse. But only 52 Earths this time!” (That lasted until 2015's Convergence where, I shit you not, the heroes went…

Yeah, I think it’s safe to assume that the designations of “Earth 1" and “Earth 2" on the BL episode had nothing to do with the designations used in the rest of the Arrowverse.

I mean, the trick in the second half is that he, as the leader of the Twelve Monkeys, actually has nothing to do with the virus... someone else released it on the same day the Twelve Monkeys (an extreme animal rights organization) released a bunch of zoo animals in the streets. But to maintain the twist, he plays…

Or that “Earth-2" had already been destroyed weeks ago.

Yeah, neither of the Earth numbers on BL made sense. That Earth-1 seemed nothing like actual Earth-1, and, yeah, was destroyed at the end.  And Earth-2 was destroyed months ago on Arrow.  I feel like someone didn’t get a memo.

Yeah, I got the impression that the truth Rick erased from Jerry was truly too horrible to know, and for once, he was doing it as an act of kindness.

Wait, where do I read this? I found A Simple Favor rather charming and I thought it was probably largely because Feig A. had a script and B. stuck to it for once.

Though it is very much about national sovereignty, which is why all the stuff with Bucky happens in Europe, because the accords and such wouldn’t mean as much if it was all in New York, even though plotwise it would make more sense. (I mean, Hawkeye apparently drives to Germany but NOW they need a plane to get to…

My biggest problem with Civil War is it sidelines an actual interesting discussion about responsibility and accountability to just Being About Bucky. The fact that Nigeria had its sovereignty violated by a private paramilitary organization with no oversight or accountability led by a man dressed in an American flag,…

It’s kind of a shame that Whedon was the only one who seemed particularly interested in writing Hawkeye.  A lot of his use in the Russo movies is mostly, “And this guy is... here?  I guess?”

Out of curiosity, have you recently re-watched Age of Ultron?  I’ve found that a lot of people who watch it again now view it with a lot more kindness than it got at the time, and I wonder how much of that ties to the things that were set up there that paid off later.  Like, it’s easy to be annoyed with, say, a…

But it did highlight how hypocritical Lena’s whole, “But you kept secrets from MEEEEEEE.” thing is.

Wait. Wait. WAIT.

Chekov also had a gun.

Dan used to preface it with the idea that the undersexed person in the marriage has first done the due diligence of trying to communicate with their spouse to resolve it, only to be rebuffed, and second, have done an assessment to determine that divorce is otherwise not an option for whatever reason. It’s not great…

Honestly, I think it’s less about individual actors’ chemistry more a quirk of the producers in terms of Flash (and also Supergirl) of late that they REALLY gloss over sexy-hot-times for the couples and go right to the “we just share a bed” phase. I mean, this season on Supergirl we went from Brainy & Nia having a…

The point was, they were asking him the whole movie how he’s kept The Hulk under control all this time, how he’s KEPT himself from being angry.  And the answer was: he hasn’t.  He learned how to live with “angry” as his base state, and thus not lose control and Hulk out.  (Moments where an I-beam falls on his back…

I mean, his character is pretty much Angrier Mohinder, isn’t he?
