The sentiment I’ve seen expressed more often in reference to The Gifted is that the Strucker material is weaker (despite the presence of fan favorite Amy Acker) and that the Mutant Underground stuff is where it’s at.

Los Angeles?

The moment in this episode that sticks with me most is Lena’s drunken, self-pitying rant to Kara.

The hooded killer being Hal Cooper is a nice theory & one I had not thought of. I lean toward the killer being Betty’s as yet unseen brother Chic, though. Either way the fixation on Betty is creepy. But I sort of get it, too. Betty and her ponytail are iconic, and irreproachable!

Whenever Nathan’s not on screen, people should be asking, “Where’s Nathan?”

There are two problems with kids in genre shows: 1) by necessity, they’re usually played by inexperienced actors, and 2), they’re usually plot devices at best, not actual supporting characters. It’s a little early to see how Jack Moore’s going to do with what he’s given to do, but the odds aren’t good that he’ll be…

Last year was awesome.

if you don’t think the President threatening nuclear war is newsworthy then I don’t really know what to tell you

I’m just here to say I was so happy to have this show pop up on my DVR and so thrilled to be greeted with the immediate lunacy of Archie driving his own gunshot father to the hospital like he is Mr. White after a bank heist gone wrong. Because the ambulance didn’t show? And then fucking Pops casually mopping up blood…

I’ve assumed that for 15 years

This is going to end up being the plot of the lamest Bond movie ever.

Is it weird that the MRAs are still desperately clinging to a term that originated with two transwomen?

This article is a definite hitpiece, Fantano has never aligned with the alt-right, and the “meme reviews” were definitely just catering to the popular memes on Twitter of the week. Any stances he took that would be considered “alt-right”, in the context of the actual videos, are blatantly satirical, and the article…

Yyyeaahhh, Fantano isn’t alt-right.

This is a garbage hitpiece. I thought the AV Club had better editing/research standards than this.

No stray observation about the 90s cartoon theme as Eclipse’s ringtone? I thought that was great.

I absolutely loved it. May not hit Legion levels of quality by any means, but it was pretty consistently good-to-great in a way that a hell of a lot of other early-series comic adaptations could only dream of being.

Man, fuck today.

It felt more like “Once Upon a Time” than “Agents of Shield”.
