The finale wrapped up all of the beats, but I was mostly disappointed how it got there. The Power Broker reveal was predictable. The Karli arc was predictable. The final Bucky confession was predictable, but also felt more like a box ticked off on a plot to-do list. Walker’s scenes felt the same. The dialogue by the

Oh! I designed a pin for just this moment!!

Awful bold of a show to only last 10 minutes when the kid goes “Mom I absolutely don’t want to hear about you fucking” and leaves.

“....and that’s how I met your father. If I ever catch that son of a bitch, then you can get braces."

If they're being milked for something that isn't milk I really don't want to know 

I needed that line. I needed a lot of stuff like that, because honestly, I disagree completely with the author. Not that the pilot isn’t great, because it is, but that it is successful in ingratiating new viewers into this world. I needed an index to keep up with all the people and places these characters were talking

The Secret Invasion comic is one that I was extremely frustrated by during its release because the entire line basically became all-skrull, all the time for the great bulk of 2008 which was extremely tiresome. DC went all in on Final Crisis shortly thereafter.

Hopefully they’ll include the Skrull Cows...

Pretty much the reason why D&D haven’t been able to hold onto a project since GOT ended. Who wants to hire showrunners who don’t want to properly finish what they’ve started but whose egos are so sensitive that they can’t allow other showrunner(s) to finish it.

Moved to Canada lost both ... but GOT healthcare.

Zemo being taken to the Raft makes his inclusion in a possible Thunderbolts movie/show easy. Though the Dora Milaje taking him to the US-operated Raft instead of Wakanda makes no sense to me.

Julia Louis Dreyfus is a national treasure. Also, I hope we get more Zemo. If not in this show then in another show or movie.

I have scarcely felt more seen by this website.

Hmm...maybe. Personally I just think the quality of writing got much worse when they ran out of source material. You stopped seeing new characters set up as multidimensional, the plot started taking shortcuts and many of the developments didn’t feel rewarded, and the pace picked up considerably making it seem like the

I said exactly this to someone else above - totally agree.  Where they went with the various plot threads were virtually all justified, but they rushed it so damn much that all of them felt much less than earned.  A shame, but on the other hand, unlike GRRM, they actually finished their story.

Whoever at AVC came up with the idea of separate threads for book readers and non-book readers deserved a raise. 

The best years of GoT were the best years of AVC. Then it all ended with season 7 and Kinja and I hardly think about either anymore.

I finally hit upon something. I have no problem with where any of the characters ended up. It was the journey along the way. Whatever reasons they had for doing 13 episodes in 2 seasons instead of 20 or even 18, it was a mistake.

Dany making a heel turn? Totally get it. She always had crazy eyes. We just approved of

Totally forgot that Conan movie even existed.
Looking back, it turns out I actually reviewed it.
Malingo of the past... did not love it.

Tip from my dentist: dilute mouthwash 50/50 with water - it gets the job done, tastes better, and saves money. My bonus since I'm so lazy: buy in bulk, transfer to smaller bottles for the bathroom, and dilute in the bottle 50/50 with filtered water.
