Yes, I’m pretty sure that was the theory of time travel they laid down. Though without a unified timeline, how would the team be able to go back and return the stones all in the *same* timeline, and how would Cap be able to take the long way ‘round and still be in the same timeline as everyone else?

This was not a good Captain Marvel movie. But her standalone film earned so much goodwill from me that I was still happy every time she came on screen.

Everyone is scratching their heads that Natalie Portman is apparently in another Marvel movie, but what my theory supposes is, what if she had no idea it was a Marvel movie?

Yeah, if he’s meta-quipping the whole movie, that will grow tired very quickly. Agree that the “perfectly done” didn’t need to be there.

When I saw the screen cap at the top of the article, I thought, “no way is that cutesy little CGI shit ‘stealing scenes’”. But then I watched the trailer, and sure enough, Kumail is crushing it.

Cercei isn’t exactly neck-deep in assassins who could get close to her brothers. It does make perfect sense that she’d give the task to someone who was close to them, personally, and sociopathically unscrupulous about what he’ll do for money.

I think the show is purposefully making us question whether we were right to be supportive of her pursuit of the throne. Everyone in the North is skeptical of her in a way that we haven’t been conditioned to be skeptical, up to now. Sam is reminding us of how she treats those who don’t bend the knee, just as Sansa is…

They may have boxed themselves into a bit of a corner, still, with the Short Trek episode that saw the Discovery ship abandoned in the future in a nebula. If that is still our crew’s ship, where did they go? Is it possible they find their way home after a multi-episode arc, as they did from the mirror-verse?

I think the EMP that disabled the self-destruct may have just been a routine side effect of the wormhole, so it was actually the least of my issues.

Una. He called her Una. Which isn’t a joke, it’s a name that they gave her in a Star Trek book series. The books were not canon, but calling her that in this show made at least the name canon.

The Bronn threat hung over those scenes in front of the fireplace like the sword of Damocles. I thought either Tyrion or Jaime could eat a crossbow bolt at any moment, and it heightened the whole thing. I think there was even a crosscut to Arya practicing her bow and arrow at one point, just to toy with us.

I have a theory for why this show is so divisive.

It doesn’t actually matter whether Conan or whichever writer actually pitched the joke intended to copy. It’s just whether it is a copy.

This is the second time this season (the other being the upside-down episode to save Culber) where they set a ticking clock to ramp up tension, repeatedly reminded us about the ticking clock, then inundated us with sloooooooooowly paced, impossibly sappy character drama.

I can imagine Michael Weatherly being a monstrous asshole on the set of Bull, and that when CBS management hears about it, they fire the person who complained. 

Exactly.

Who are you arguing against? Because this has nothing to do with anything I’ve said. Killing Eve is burning through three show runners in three seasons. I don’t give two fucks what reasons they have. My point was that, in American culture, that is basically unheard of for a successful show, and that if it ever…

“Has another show he’s more interested in” is word for word the explanation for Bryan Fuller leaving Discovery 

British TV traditions are so different from American ones. Could you imagine if there was a CBS/NBC/ABC/FOX smash hit, and the show runner got kicked to the curb? Not just once, but two years in a row? Well, we need not really imagine, because this is basically the story of Star Trek: Discovery, and it was widely…

They didn’t plop onto Disco totally out of the blue, but his faked death was a bit of a contrivance, then his joining s. 31 and being really passionate about it was a bit of a contrivance (not totally out of line with the character defined in s. 1, but still forced), then his being placed as a “liaison” on Disco was re…
