Yeah. There's also, "Is he fast enough to do the thing he needs to do to stop the city/country/world from blowing up before the city/country/world blows up?"

I'm in the same boat. My wife and I got through the Punisher arc and maybe two or three episodes into the Elektra arc, but I completely lost interest. Jessica Jones was uniquely compelling for a host of reasons that it's too late at night for me to get sucked into enumerating, but the upshot of it all is that, it has…

I…want to see that, actually.

I want to like this comment several times.

The Alan Ladd version of Gatsby has been sitting on my desk for months now. I intend to watch it soon. What are your thoughts on it?

I love what exists of this book—based on what was finished of it, it could possibly have ended up being the book that defined Fitzgerald's legacy, had he lived long enough to complete it. However, it also seems like an incredibly odd choice to adapt into what the studio presumably hopes will be an ongoing…

It's really too bad that all of her other superheroic cohorts thought he wasn't sensible enough for her: They wore streamlined tactical body suits and all had a problem with his baggy cape.

The reason is that he's Batman and she's Batgirl. Their very names lock them into a generational dynamic that makes actually depicting them in a sexual relationship extraordinarily tasteless. In Batman Beyond, we are being told decades later that they had a relationship at some point between where TAS left off and Beyo…

I've seen the first two seasons of Downton Abbey. As I was watching it, I could not get my head around why she wasn't in everything: I thought she did an astounding job. In every scene, it seemed like she was simultaneously playing what her character was deliberately projecting to the other characters and what her…

So, Suicide Squad looks bad, while Justice League looks like what you'd expect out of a Suicide Squad movie. Okay, so, at this rate, The Flash will pretty much match The Dark Knight in tone and style?

Randomly generated levels? As in, the levels are structured differently each time you play?

Sincere question from someone who thinks gymnastics is probably the greatest display of human athleticism there is: If the leotards promote ease of movement, why aren't they used in men's gymnastics, too? Or, at the very least, why wouldn't male gymnasts be in singlets like wrestlers?

Thanks. I really don't want to do this, but I'm willing to switch to just using my Disqus account if there's a way to import all of my old AVClub conversations.

Anyone else having problems with their AVClub/Disqus account? For several days now, every time I try to check on my alerts for my AV Club account, all I get is an ad for a Disqus account. Is this a known issue?

Honestly, season four is the best season of West Wing.

Previous streaming versions of Sports Night lacked Neil Finn's "She Will Have Her Way" over the opening montage of season two and the closing of the episode where Dana hides her undergarments in Casey's desk. Without that, it's hardly even the same show.

That's fine, @avclub-993f6ac760ffd6c09413c22f4f4aa627:disqus—we were arrested at night.

I've heard very good things about that. It's definitely on the list of trades to check out at some point.

You won't regret it. Big ideas at a human scale in a low-stakes setting. About halfway through, it seems like it's teetering on the precipice of superhero comic convention, but it pulls out of it quickly and remains wonderful through the end.

Alex Ross' take on Captain Marvel is one of my absolute favorites.
