This feels like the sort of project that someone undertakes when they’re trying to prove there is no kind and loving God up there.

Either way, he was pretty comfortable suggesting to her that she might be able to do something like that, when all anyone else had really seen of her up to that point was a little bit of telepathy and a lot of telekinesis.

Thank you for sharing this. It heartens me somewhat to know that occasionally stuff this awesome can happen.

I’ve definitely felt that shock. I’ve watched other people pumping their gas while I pump mine, and I absolutely feel it when they stop.

True, but Carol’s got a lot of raw power as well, nobody’s expecting her to resurrect the dead.

On top of that, Cordelia sees the whole thing (which wasn’t any attempt to win her back or anything, he just wanted to make her fall in love with him so he could spitefully dump her) as a sweet, romantic gesture and takes him back at the end. It briefly comes up that Willow might be upset with him, but I don’t think…

Hayward suggesting that Wanda could bring Vision back seemed to stand out to my roommate and myself, because before this series she hasn’t displayed the sort of raw power that would do that. (All anybody has seen of her abilities has basically been some telepathy and the telekinesis) And it definitely feels like he…

Absolutely. He didn’t put on airs, he didn’t try to pretend there were convoluted reasons for why he did what he did. He was just an absolute menace and deadly as hell.

I remember Joss once actually insisting Spike’s rape attempt was inspired by one of the women writing for the show (whom he didn’t name), who’d claimed that she’d had a breakdown and tried to force herself on her boyfriend. And somehow he thought it’d be novel to gender-flip that and have it happen to Buffy. Whether…

He didn’t say “Chariots” at the end, it’s not the real one! Get him!

The Youtube video does the courtesy of blanking out the spoiler.

Book 2 has its moments, but it’s pretty weak overall. And to be fair, as far as ‘evil relatives’ go, I think Firelord Ozai still has that one beat.

While this sucks for the kids to be publicly shamed like this, and I’m sympathetic to the family, based partially on my own experiences with it I consider voluntarily sending your kids to Catholic school to be a “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” thing. Even if you’re certain everyone in your family is sincerely…

Varrick was the bomb, though. But that’s the funny thing about season 2 — of the two major plots, one had a lot of promise but had a one-note villain, while the other one had an interesting villain but the actual story only makes sense if multiple characters have had off-screen lobotomies.

My guess is that they saw an opportunity to grab the ball Netflix was fumbling.

I’d never heard of this thing until now, so I was very confused when I saw the headline pop up in the suggestions box. I was like “Wait, has there been some sort of shortage of physical pants?”

This actually sounds pretty promising, in my opinion. At least moreso than most of Taco Bell’s usual “pick a combination of three ingredients we already have but aren’t using together yet” brand of ‘innovation.’

Some of the Inhuman stuff I didn’t mind, and more than a little bit of it worked as a stand-in for mutants. But the “Hydra existed before WWII, and was a cult to this exiled Inhuman monster” thing made me go “Wait, what?” and then they wasted a perfectly good opportunity on Hive (when Maximus was right there if they’d…

Thinking about Kenan starring in a sitcom, I’m trying to remember the last time he’s actually had to keep up a bit or a character for longer than the length of a comedy sketch. Good Burger, maybe? He’s probably going to need a little while to get in the rhythm of it.

Well, Perlmutter was as much to blame for that as anything, as he’s the one that tainted the TV well, and it’s quite likely that some of the bad ideas he inflicted on the TV shows (like the Inhumans) would have been forced on the movies. (It’s also probably not a coincidence that they didn’t officially add Captain…
