One of my favorite aspects of the show is how it demonstrates that vampires are, in a lot of ways, pretty clueless and naïve.

I suspect that at this point, Guillermo doesn’t really want to be a vampire any more, and at this point he’s just telling himself he still wants it and hasn’t had reason to question it (until possibly now).

Yeah, I think this is going to be a conclusion the same way that Endgame was a conclusion. Tying off a previous arc and then we’ll see what happens next.

Screw it, if it’s free, I’ll give them a chance to convince me. Sign me up.

Fun fact, the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, while originally intended to be called such, never actually used that name in its operations until it was bought and turned into a spooky tourist trap. My roommate did one of their haunted tours and was thoroughly unimpressed.

It’s not my favorite, but it’s certainly up there for the reasons you cite. The plots are more personal than world-shaking, and the stakes haven’t been unnaturally inflated to fit the formula (unlike the first and its “oh no Hydra might be back and the plank of wood we cast as the villain might give them the suit” plot…

My big question is, given how much success McCartney has enjoyed since the breakup, why does he feel the need to rehash it in the press 50 years later?

Would you count the time he was on Fringe since he claimed to be Spock sent from the future and that there’s a war against renegade Romulans come back to change the timeline... in an episode that aired a few days before the first Abrams Star Trek movie came out?

I just got around to seeing this and, yeah, it really does circle itself. It feels padded, like they could have cut out half of it and nothing would really be lost. And I think part of that comes down to the fact that Carnage is not an especially complicated character. His wants and needs are usually pretty simple,…

Oh, hey, this one took less than a week to get uploaded, so here we go with...

So this is a little late, but the episode didn’t get uploaded to my season pass in a timely manner. But even if nobody sees it and it’ll be a nightmare to find again because of the broken comment system, I still wanted to contribute...

It keeps being said, but LOKI never established this. Loki established that the Infinity Stones don’t work in the TVA. They specifically don’t work in that one place. That’s all that was ever said in the show. Nothing else implies that also don’t work in other dimensions outside of the TVA.

Somewhere out there is an alternate universe where The Takeout just published an article with the headline “The McRib proves that McDonald’s will never serve anything but fast food,” or something to that extent.

The kindest thing I could say about it, while not clever enough to get picked up by any major websites, is that it’s a lazy cash grab wrapped in low-effort clickbait and one has to wonder how many celebrities laughed it off before the ‘Cartel’ found someone willing to get paid to put their name to what looks like a…

Ross Marquand’s Ultron is even less convincing, coming across less like James Spader’s deliriously unhinged robot from the movie and more like… a very tired James Spader impersonator.

I think a lot of those fight sequences could have been cut to an appropriate length just by dialing back the excessive slow-mo in them.

I’m theorizing they’re holding off on Ed until season 2, since Ed doesn’t come along until a little later in the anime.

I’ll admit the hellhound thing kinda confused me — like, I get that the obvious joke is that they think it’s a hellhound and it’s not, but that felt really random, like either there was more to the joke that got cut, or maybe it’s setting something up for a future episode. I dunno. Either way, popping in for...

To be fair, Davies had some storytelling tics and formulas that were getting tiresome after all that time, and everybody was focused on the then-new showrunner being the guy who brought us “Blink” and “Girl in the Fireplace.” I’ll openly admit, I was one of those people who was like “Ugh, thank goodness.” And then…

To be fair, they kinda had to be back then. In the early days of the show, the BBC bent over backwards constantly to dodge any implications that the older male lead characters were sleeping with the young, attractive female sidekicks. It’s the reason why Susan was the first Doctor’s granddaughter, for instance.
