In an episode full of great acting, the best is when Jace arrives to inform Rhaenyra of the alliances with the Vale and Winterfell and neither can get many words out without the emotion of Luke’s death seeping through.

Lame. Superman & Lois was arguably one of the best iterations of Superman around.

The Middleman.  Curse you ABC Family.

I’ll never get over the fact that The Fades got only one season when it’s potential was so huge. It was so good and unique. Glad that we got what we did. Also main reason it was canceled was budget for final season of being human but still not fair. So at least being Human got to have a decent number of seasons and…

I’m getting the impression that Daemon has a very twisted sense of personal honour that allows him to pretend to have done something awful to the rest of the world, but not actually do it when it comes to the few people he actually cares about. 

Alicent is definitely operating like a spurned lover that is jealous of both Rhaenyra and her potential lovers/mates. 

I agree that there wasn’t penetration, and that Daemon lied about it to hurt Viserys, but I think it was lack of ability as opposed to lack of desire/intent.

I like the whole notion of trying-to-hold-Wong-accountable for stuff like that lol. His just “I must depart now” (or whatever he said) moment demonstrated just how wild it must be to try and hold anyone accountable for stuff in the MCU now that it’s gotten so big and comic-booky.

I agree with you and Ruffalo. The MCU has cohesion but each movie is a different thing for the most part. Doctor Strange has a lot of horror tropes, Moon Knight has a lot of Mummy-ish stuff going on, She-Hulk from the looks of it looks a lot like it could be a law procedural with an MCU bend. Is it perfect? nah, but…

...but to pretend for even a second like directors get more or less control within competing billion-dollar franchises is a fool’s errand.

Is Marvel perfect? No. Is it cohesive? Well, it’s all in one universe, so pretty much. But to say it’s all the same and there’s no real distinction between MCU movies is disingenuous. Shang-Chi was totally different from anything the MCU had done to that point. On the other hand, Black Widow was a standard action…

You are 100% correct on Indira Varma.

Obviously, the Enterprise can’t face such explosive disaster every week—high stakes, sure, but you couldn’t expect a largely episodic series to completely bang up the ship week in and week out without someone, whether textually or metatextually, finding it a little bit too weird.

I agree, they’re all a bit different and that’s fine.

While not all of these shows may be to everyone’s taste, I see that as a feature, not a bug. Having different shows with different tones allows us to have a lot of Trek without them stepping on each others toes too much. If they were all too samey, I think that the whole Trek renaissance would likely burn out pretty…

No one has been surprised about how absolutely terrible Disney has been about representation. They only JUST started getting actually better about racial representation, because of the thinly veiled racism of the family values crowd. It’s no surprise they’ve been shy of queer representation (which is, of course,…

Here’s the thing. I don’t think Chris Pratt meant to intentionally imply that his daughter is somehow better than his son because of her relative health status. But the fact that he didn’t think at all about how that might impact his son or his son’s mom? And his kids apparently come after a baseball card? Again,…

She told Tree they had sex to let him know that Atticus told her about his lie.  As in, “When we ‘had sex’ in high school.”  That’s why Tree was mad at Tic for telling her about it.

Am I the only one who's getting a strong "this movie is actually an adaptation of Kindred, we simply didn't want to pay the rights to Octavia Butler's state" vibe from this film?
