What? She’s absolutely a spy. That’s her entire thing. She showed up in Iron Man 2...spying on Tony Stark for S.H.I.E.L.D., an espionage agency (while seemingly also being the World Police.) Is she only a spy? I guess not anymore, but her whole skill-set can be summed up as “super spy.”

On the one hand, I find Tom Hiddleston and Loki extremely charming, and I am invested in the idea that the only romantic interest Loki could ever have is with—essentially—himself. Plus, Sylvie’s cool. So hopefully they’re able to hang out again.

(Katie was a snitch during her season and was ostracized by the group shortly after.)

You want to get into a political discussion I’m not willing to because the specific beliefs don’t matter as much as the right to have them.

If I could reach into the internet, I would fistfight the digital representation of Kinja. I remember back when Denton first announced it. What a clusterfuck that was. How has it only gotten worse with each passing year? I can’t even comment on mobile anymore, or see any replies to comments. (Which is fine, I ought to…

I’ve extolled the virtues of GamePass for a couple of years now. It’s kept me sated between the bigger video game releases with indies and older games that maybe I hadn’t played before, and it’s only getting better. But have I been paid? No! Bullshit! 

Taskmaster is never as important as one would expect.

It’s the Joe Rogan Show for Instagram feminists? I mean, good luck to Demi Lovato, I guess.

Look, the fact that they haven’t made “The X-Files but with Renee and Vic and they’re investigating far-reaching criminal and mystical conspiracies” as a TV show or comic book miniseries helmed by Greg Rucka is, frankly, criminal. Like, put it in the Bible of Crime criminal. They’re best friends, damn it, and you keep…

I don’t want that, but I did hope they’d lean harder into the spy genre than they apparently did. That’s like, her whole thing.

Yeah, this is the vibe that I was getting from every trailer that I’ve seen so far. It feels like they didn’t want to make a straight up spy thriller, alas.

Yeah, same. I mean, would I love to see it? Sure, but I’m not sure when I would see it during this plot that wouldn’t feel shoehorned, y’know? Like, unless Loki suddenly starts flirting with everyone, which I would hate because that’s such a tired trope.

Yeah! Let Loki bang! Next episode, Loki wakes up entangled with human men, human women, humans of all stripes, different aliens, gods from other pantheons, and it better be a Busby Berkeley-level exploration of Loki’s all-encompassing sexuality.

Yaaaaaaaay.

I miss Galavant so much.

“fun”

Oh, Katja Herbers does improv, too? Swoon. Delightful interview.

Been a fan of Katja Herbers since she popped up on Westworld a couple of years ago. Thought she was captivating and did a bang-up job opposite Ed Harris. You could believe she was his kid. Then I followed her on Evil—which rules, it’s so weird—and she rocks on that, too. She has that steely demeanor that makes you…

I’d somehow completely disassociated the very good Flags of Our Fathers and the superior Letters from Iwo Jima from Eastwood’s repertoire.
