This episode just reinforces my growing conviction that Steven is a Princess. A title I bestow with the utmost love and respect for him.

Nah, you’re just confused because there’s essentially no difference between the two. I’m not even sure why you’d even feel a need to translate The Fifth Element into 80s anime style. It’s pretty much that already.

Amethyst has always been able to shapeshift easier and for longer periods of time than any of the others. It’s kind of her main deal, powers-wise.

My parents started attending non-denominational Christian churches in the last several years, and my mother (a former Catholic) shocked me when she happily informed me that one thing she’d learned was that she doesn’t have to do good works to get into heaven. Just “accept Jesus”. Anything else is surplus to…

If it was separate registers or something I might go with that, but it’s all together. It’s no harder to split the price of an item than not with a computerized register.

These combo restaurants never seem to leverage their shared menus. I’m sure if you ASK you can get weird hybrid stuff, but it’s never on the menu. There’s a Taco Bell/Long John Silver’s in my area, and it baffles me that you can’t get a fish taco there.

Ah, that’s right. Misremembered how that played out.

On screen text specified “48 hours earlier” and flashed back to the Harun-El activation in the fortress, with a black cloud flying off, and then cut to Siberia. IIRC.

It really does bug me that they treat the Martians’ human forms as being the “default”. They established some very good reasons why they choose to maintain those forms most of the time, but they shouldn’t revert to them on death. I actually thought that meant J’onn was waking up from being zapped in that scene, and…

When Barry did his whole “Flashpoint” thing a few seasons ago, Earth-2's Harrison Wells came and paid a visit afterwards and called out the changes, indicating that the timeline changes were localized to the one universe. Whether or not they make that a hard and fast rule is just something we’ll have to wait and see…

I thought Miller explained himself pretty clearly in an earlier episode. He’s a tool. The protomolecule needed an investigator, so it brought out the one it had on file. That same exchange identified Holden as a tool as well, and elaborated on it here. He’s necessary because he actually, physically exists.

It varies quite a bit how “complete” the transformation is depicted as, but generally there is a superficial, but functional amount of alternate mode parts, and then you have the reconfigured robot parts underneath. The Beast Wars characters, for instance, had fully functional organ systems to a degree, though that’s…

I must be the only one who felt like the line of the episode was “Do you want Fuchs? Because this is how you get Fuchs!” (in German) ((Just slightly cut off at the end by Fuchs eating spikey death log AKA The Widowmaker)). THAT was a well-earned callback!

I have to assume this is a practice borrowed from Americans, adhered to because Canadians are as murky about how restaurant staff are paid as Americans are. I can’t say I understand the logic of compulsively paying an extra 20% to someone who is already being paid fairly for their work.

This is exactly what I’ve been theorizing they could (and should) do with it for a while now. I love the rest of the cast and characters. Roseanne herself was a walking time bomb and plus just seemed to have lost a lot of her acting chops.

The oceans freeze, the sun goes dark, the universe collapses into entropy... Hideaki Anno confirms a release date.

Even if I agreed with your premise (and I don’t), you’re putting aside the fact that it’s only one factor here. It’s not JUST that MS-13 (in this case) is getting referred to in such terms. It’s also that the opportunity is being taken to lump in whole categories of people as “MS-13" with little or no evidence. And…

It may not necessarily be racially coded in any specific way, but it’s definitely intended to dehumanize the people being referred to. Honestly, reading the collection of statements given, you’d think MS-13 had a herd of giant-sized honey badgers at their disposal or something.

People did flip out. But then 17 other outrageous things happened and it was forgotten. Hard to stay up in arms when there’s a new outrage every other day (or more often).

The answer, at least according to the people you are addressing, is because there are not enough guns. The apparent solution such people want to see is an armed prison. Hence the “too many doors” comments, for instance.
