“it still doesn’t all totally make sense or feel completely satisfying”

The thunder is louder now... and Paz Vizsla is waiting.

I’ve tried to make myself go back and watch the Holiday Special, but the cringe-threat is just too much. Plus I remember being little, and actually becoming angry at the show for VERY OBVIOUSLY teasing Han Solo’s appearance and only bringing him in for like 30 seconds near the end. I was old enough to know when I was…

Project Necromancer’s obvious endgame is Palpatine, but what’s most likely as the first product from it is Snoke. Remember in Rise of Skywalker how many proto-Snokes were marinating in the opening scenes when Kylo Ren is on his evil quest? This is probably Filoni’s way of trying to solve a bit of J.J. Abrams’ puzzle…

I really liked this episode. I like the whole show but this one really started tying it all together and with sprinkling of some Daredevil it was perfect. The show has always been about Jen wanting to stick to her normal life as a lawyer but being first unable to avoid her She-Hulk alter-ego and then slowly starting…

she’s stopped by some conveniently quick SWAT team guys

The goons were using crossbows as a thematic tie to poison dart frogs.

It seems like they wanted us to think the picture Malick died holding was Mack’s parents in captivity. But I don’t think so. Why would that mean anything to Malick? I’m not sure Yo-Yo would recognize them straight away and it would mean nothing to future boy. Maybe it had a big label on it... “Mack’s parents, we’ve…

I was rewatching the episode and Sousa advocating for more decisive action no matter how it changes the timeline. Of course it’s easy for him as for him it’s changing the future from bad one with Hydra infiltrating SHIELD to something better. He’s in the same headspace as Team was in the Broken Earth Future.

Sousa: “I wish I could’ve said some good-byes.”

That extended opening credits, complete with ’70s TV voiceover introductions for each actor, was delightful.

I was sure Malick was going to reveal they had FitzSimmons, and that Jemma is either a Chronicom or a LMD. But what if they did kill Mac’s parents? Paradox? Mac fading ala BTTF?

Think I’ll take Daisy’s advice to not think too hard about it so my head doesn’t explode. ;)

These episodes continue to get better each…

And they can fix Sousa’s leg now. Right?

I’m another dyspraxic chiming in. I’m also pretty happy with the representation so far. I’m ok with is mostly manifesting as something that Ryan refers to and doesn’t visibly affect him too much. The only signs that I’m dyspraxic are the bruises on my legs from bumping into things and I still haven’t learned how to…

The problem with Barry and Iris is how they talk about how each other are great, but we rarely witness actions that support these opinions. That one....day...when she was a reporter, he was telling her what a great reporter she was, even though she had zero experience and even though she only got the job because the…

Personally, I was very glad to see the show is letting Nora still be pissed about this. Having both her parents trying to borderline gaslight her into thinking there must be some great hidden reason involving rainbows and puppies to such a violation was sickening, and her not buying it for a second is perhaps her…

- That opening scene was wonderful. I love both Ray and Sara whiffing on their attempts at being cool.

- Mick/Constantine is going to be a hilarious pairing this season.

- I do like how John is starting out as a true outsider who does things his own way, since unlike the other new additions each season, he’s experienced…

I think we have a different understanding of the word “mercy.” I certainly hope that if I am ever in a position to want such a death that it will not be delivered by my worst enemy bursting into my hospital room, shooting me in the gut, and leaving in triumph while I die in agony.

This is actually less disturbing than what happens to actual insects: a lot of cells dedifferentiate into stem cells, migrate, and redifferentiate again — but the highly-specialized stuff, including nearly all the neural tissue, commits apoptosis (cellular suicide) and the debris is eaten by (the insect equivalent of)…

Looks like 2259 is the year me and Rowan disagree on a lot.
For example, the Drazi in Geometry of Shadows. It's almost worth it for "Rules predate interstellar contact. Rules change (beat) caught up in commitee" alone. And, even if it is obvious and unsubtle ("You do same, fight for flag, yes?"), its handling of the…
