Eisenberg is the one part of that trailer that worked for me, not the least because it offered hope that at least one actor will bring a token amount of levity to the movie after Man of Steel’s “NO JOKES ONLY DEPRESSION” philosophy.

He’s saying it that way because he’s being flippant and creepy, which is the most interesting interpretation I’ve seen of Lex since John Byrne made him a billionaire industrialist.

I got excited for the first half of the trailer. Then I realised they were going to effectivly write Superman as a brawling thug, while the director plays up “Superman as the messiah”.

Can’t say I’ve seen many pre-2001 movies with buildings collapsing and a huge plume of dust swallowing up the surrounding city blocks. The connection to 9-11 is obvious. Is that exploiting the event though? Eh.

Nuance does not suit the Hulk on the broad stroke, and there’s no reason to do a dream sequence for Banner when they can have the actual nightmare scenario for him happen: an uncontrolled, misdirected rampage against innocent people, which is exactly what he was forced to do in Wakanda.

Funny, I was JUST thinking I should go back and find you piece. I actually think I agree with you more now. I still think in that particular scene, she presented the info as a way to equalize them and show Banner that she wouldn’t be losing anything by being with him. But on second thought, I also think that they

Well, I've got nothing to suggest aside from saying that I love this kind of story arc.

One of this season's main plotlines has been Sorkin's perceived tension between rigorous, old-school reportage—an institutional, dignified fantasy of Journalism—

So are we at He said/ She said, She said, She said, She said, She said, She said, She said, She said, She said, She said, She said, She said, She said, She said, She said, She said, She said, She said?

Hannibal Buress wrote for 30 Rock! I wonder if that joke was his doing too.

For all his faults, I'm forever thankful that Moffat gave us essentially a glorified, updated version of the classic Master vs. UNIT stories, nonsensical scheme and all.

I liked it. A bit depressing in certain spots, but overall I think it was a good series finale. No use of timey-wimey to solve a problem andit worked well with the rest of the series. And Michelle Gomez was fantastic as Missy. I need more of her on the show. (I still can't believe they had her kill off Osgood!)

Easily the best series finale of the Moffat era, probably the best of NuWho. The dynamics between The Mistress and The Doctor were amazing. I loved that her entire plan was based around trying to rebuild her friendship with him but she's so fucking nuts that this was her plan to get him back.

After feeling sort of meh about most of the season, I really quite enjoyed the finale. I think seeing how it all tied up in the end, I might better appreciate the entire season on rewatching, like I did with Agents of SHIELD. Not to mention I didn't really care for Capaldi at first, but he really grew on me. I'm

This was a wonderful episode. For the first time since, I dunno, The Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang, we had a proper length finale, which was great. I loved the cute use of Clara's eyes in the opening credits, the bittersweet ending, the "What!? WHAT? WHAT!?" moment in the mid-credits, and most especially Missy.

Moffa

Whatever else about this episode, seeing the Mistress land with an umbrella like a literal evil Mary Poppins was just beautifully done and nice to see them embrace the joke.

"I warned you last week I was going to be chewing the scenery with relish. Just wait till I come back with white hair."

That's kind of terrifying.

Preach it Doctor, preach it!
