OK. They should also pass a law allowing women to sue men for ejaculating.

After reading the whole article, it clearly fits into a subgenre of this sort: man abused as a child blames his own behavior on that abuse. But of course, most abusers were themselves abused in one form or another. Some people, when abused, opt to become abusers; others swear never to be like their abuser. That…

Then again, some of us may not understand what he meant by that. After all, not everyone has English as their first language, and he was being so flowerly.

“I was just joking with Gal. Repeatedly. Red-faced and shouting. It’s down to cultural differences that she didn’t get how funny that was.”

Maybe if it’s restricted to women in science fiction TV. There were empowered and strong women on TV in drama and even sitcoms for decades prior to Whedon’s shows.

Obvious, but also incoherent.

The question is, will Daredevil also be back for Echo?

Pretty clear that he instead sent all of his people in and was hanging around on the off-chance that they failed.

It didn’t work for you, fine. There’s multiple commenters here for whom it did work, loud and clear.

Eleanor didn’t say “you want me to kill a man and frame my fiance for it? Nah, I’m out.”

That would have made the scene better? Eleanor asks Kate how the hell she got that video, and Kate spends the next three minutes explaining things that we already know from earlier in the episode, bringing the action scene to a dead stop. That would have fixed what you characterized as a clumsy action scene?

It was clear that the watch belonged to Clint’s wife in the first half of the show, and that it could be used to identify Clint’s family and track them down. The only ambiguity was whether it had special powers, and we still don’t know that it doesn’t.

Yes, he keeps telling her to just walk away. If anything, he seems a little impressed. It does feel like a “I’m going to kill your mom but continue to honor our arrangement concerning you” kind of situation, although as he starts getting angry the dynamic shifts.

Banner isn’t going to make a rookie mistake like that.

You really think this is a Clint Barton show? He may be getting more development than he got in the movies, but he’s very clearly the mentor figure to the next generation of heroes. And Kate is clearly the main character.

Better than the other ways it could go, like the Doctor and Yaz having never gotten back from wherever they were sent in Spyfall, and “decompression” really being something happening in a virtual world.

This storyline reads to me like Chibnall hitting a massive universal reset button for the next showrunner. “When the Doctor restored the Universe some things got put back different!”

It would explain the whole “turns into a snake before crawling into Eric Robert’s mouth” turn that the Master’s story took once.

Obviously he’s associated with the Division, which implies that Vinder was, too. Not really a twist, per se, but something that got heavily undersold.

Given that guy’s character, it’s believable that he still refers to Lethbridge-Stewart as “corporal” from however many years ago when he first joined the organization. That’s a perfect example of what passes for humor for that sort of man.
