See, this is one of those responses that have been weirding me out. Cumberbatch fatigue - fine. Missed minority casting opportunity because his character doesn't have to be white - fine, though I do think it's time to mourn, accept the casting of a white man as a white man and move on. Too young - Cumberbatch looks…

You are literally the first person I've seen even suggest that.

And this is a reasonably decent quick summary of the Inhumans.

Actually, it looks like Wikipedia's Marvel Universe: Concepts section does give a reasonably good rundown of a lot of the major players, though at such a high level that you'll need to follow the links to individual pages to glean any useful information from it.

Well, there are a few wikis, though to be honest I usually find Wikipedia more accurate than the official Marvel-run one. But the universe is so vast after several decades of monthly publishing that they used to publish official encyclopedias. (Those are really interesting reading, actually.) There's never going to be…

To be clear: he did initially capture her in the 40s. But she wasn't killed at that time, and she was most likely the "woman in a cage" that Agent Carter mentioned rescuing during her conversation with Whitehall.

-So didn't Skye's mom die in the 40s? So Doesn't that make Skye's age a little off?

Nah, that's like the oldest anti-war joke ever. I was actually disappointed in the writers last night that they used such a hackneyed line.

As so many horror movies have taught us, un-aging is not equal to immortality which is not equal to invulnerability. Un-aging is the only one of those it's been confirmed she had.

Also, how did he even figure out where Sky was? He didn't have a map on him.

Not even necessarily evil. Caitlin sees the man she loves suffering, insane, and living on the streets, and unwilling to accept any help to fix any of that. A lot of people would feel the same way in the moment.

Yes, I've been there, done that with a guy, too. As long as they don't say anything, the name of the game is silence and denial.

Not to mention that there's a big leap between "our machine made metahumans out of people hit by the wave it generated" and "this guy sealed into ground zero survived and wandered away without telling anyone".

None of those are really on a cougar's preferred meal list, unless someone has a pet alpaca. Fear for the local deer.

My runner friend swears that it's completely normal that it always feels like my lungs and nose fill up with mucus and I start to gag and cough and drown. Something about the impact loosening the mucus. Can anyone confirm, or is she just trying to get a running partner? Because I really don't understand why anyone…

If I were to admit to occasionally downloading content, which I'm not, then I would say I have my own personal rules as to what I allow myself to download, and they mostly revolve around whether this is previously released content that can be obtained legally within the US either at this moment or in the near future.…

I'm probably the only person on io9 that watches Teen Wolf, but what the hell.

That makes sense. It wasn't particularly obvious as a non-scientist from either your article or the one you linked to. Thanks.

All joking aside, why is this considered news? We've known for decades that smoking causes cancer and shortens lifespans. It's literally written in giant letters on the sides of all the boxes.

I'm sorry, I can't take this seriously until they install a municipal court in the stadium to process them all.
