Jesus, I cannot wait until this Marvel thing dies down.

Yeah, it IS a TV show.  I love TV shows, and I want them to be good.  So it bothers me when they aren’t.

The show has really disappointed me with that whopping deus ex machina of the TVA noticing Loki and Sylvie just in time to save/capture them. There’s a slight implication that their love connection was causing the nexus branch for some reason (maybe if two variants make out with each other the timeline just explodes;…

In theory I agree with you, but like the review mentions these conversations didn’t feel meaty enough. Loki is absolutely a narcissist, so how could he not immediately want to know more about the badass, (possibly) super-evil, girl version of himself? I guess it tracks that a narcissist would only want to talk about…

I have to admit. I got a headache reading this. 

Moncia, Jimmy, and Darcy could only ever have a bigger part in a longer show - this was already very overstuffed. They’re fun characters, but cutting the entirety of SWORD (with some excuse for White Vision) and focusing solely on the world within the Hex would’ve done the show so much good. 

The first half of this series was really good. 

I’m more disappointed that there was not even a single line acknowledging that Monica is now aware she’s become superpowered (because of Wanda, even) and how she feels about it. It looks like she just went, “I’m a supe now. Okay then”, *shrugs*.

The only thing that kind of works for me in this episode is that final goodbye. It’s obviously not a goodbye between Wanda and Vision—after all, Cataract is out there, and is ostensibly Vision according to the episode. It’s a goodbye to the life Wanda can never have. She can’t have a normal life, or a normal nuclear…

I thought that the finale was TERRIBLE with a few bright spots.

One thing that makes this sort of adaptation rankle is how much thought Pratchett put into even small characterisation details, let alone the big ones. Vimes being cleanshaven is central to his character: he’s a man who sticks to his own sense of what is right and proper, even while recognising that the world around…

The revelation that Mando is basically a Hasidic Mandalorian, and most Mandalorians are a bit more secular and don’t take the Way too literally, was a pretty brilliant twist. Mando appears to be struggling with his faith in the same way one of my old Orthodox Jewish coworkers did after a divorce — he eventually…

My favorite CYA explanation is that it’s Star Wars Captcha, and it’s literally just making sure you’re not a robot.

I had a similar take posted elsewhere. To rip off an outdated overused pop culture reference, the question is “Does it bring you joy”? And every season of Fargo, included this season already, has scenes that qualify. That’s enough for me!

That’s really a misreading of the movie.

Hmm. Many didn’t recognize Hamill? Luckily, I was tipped off by the following article, posted yesterday to an obscure location of the interwebs: https://tv.avclub.com/mark-hamill-swoops-into-what-we-do-in-the-shadows-1843405459

Because it’s the right character transformation as determined by propulsive narrative development. It doesn’t have to be “right”—it just has to fit, and it fits. Oh, how it fits! For all of this show’s dynamite shootouts and setpieces, the writers also know and develops the characters extremely well.

He’s not saying that it is. He’s saying it’s intelligible to him, because IV speaks Russian.
