I think the premise of manspreading is that men are supposed to be trained to take up as much space as possible while women are supposed to go out of their way to make things easier by trying to make themselves more compact (or being the ones to move in a game of hallway chicken)? Granted I'm an American who has…

To be fair, the fact the mother came back after we last saw her as a pile of organs probably didn't bode well for her long-term prospects as a good mentor. Also I think the Mike Peterson from the first season fall finale was unforgivably obvious but luckily the show has found weirder twists.

I forget, so was she actually the public face of the ATCU or whatever (What does their name stand for again? They're not Andy Richter Controls The Universe right?) but yeah, in hindsight isn't she a pretty major character to have gotten assassinated?

I saw the first three episodes of Daredevil I think but I jumped straight into Jessica Jones to catch up and partially engage with the discourse and it doesn't seem like there's really that much overlap yet.

Honestly, until your comment, I thought they were implying that Fitz was a replacement for that dog Ward shot. Granted I think until they said his name I just assumed the brother from the well had died.

Who was Lawless motivating again? Mack or Hunter? I figured that was just an intentional casting stunt sort of like how they originally wanted to kill Matthew Fox's character in the Lost pilot (when he would have been played by some other bigger name).

I think Ward was less emotionally invested in his brother as the one pure thing that needs protection from the world after his brother told him he was a psycho. He also might have been able to figure out his brother was actively helping them and thus they probably weren't the kind of people to then shoot them?

I got so confused until I figured out you meant they learned that after Zimmer.

He was getting changed in preparation for Coulson's arrival when his new father figure propositioned him.

Also in terms of style while the show's colors are more muted than I like, they did have a bunch of neat pans between scenes.

Yeah, the previous episode they didn't really set up if that guy was telekinetic or had power over magnetism so I started wondering if they ever set it up that Banks had a bionic arm.

If I remember he did it twice, except the second time he made it look like a murder suicide where he framed his older brother for murdering their parents?

Didn't they all claim to love Branagh adding some Shakespearean weight to the first one? Then again the second one was pretty much only positively received for the humorous bits. (And I thought they did some fun bits building up to that portal fight at the end before it degenerated into the clouds of CGI and colors.)

The name of the song is technically California Christmastime apparently. (I have noticed after doing a deep dive into her YouTube videos that the title isn't always exactly what it seems like it'd be from the lyrics)

I always got why even British singers tended to use miles since it sounds better in most cases than kilometers for most of their lyrics, but for the life of me I never got why they use miles per hour for speed when distances are in kilometers. I think even Canada uses KM/H despite the roads connecting it to places…

Jessica Jones seemed to have elements of this kind of thing too (granted I've just read hype aboutIit Follows for the past year and haven't had the chance to actually watch it myself yet)

Oh to be honest I didn't understand who put him in the confession dial since I didn't quite understand the premise of the device from when it was introduced.

Yeah I think I preferred the uncanny device of never seeing actual Clara since that kind of adds to the horror and the idea that you can never quite perfectly recall details of someone as good as the real thing, or trying and failing to capture their essence.

This post confused me so much since I wondered if Jude Law had been in multiple Russell movies aside from I Heart Huckabees.

Well Sony made both sets of Spider-Men movies and are still technically behind the new one. I forget if Marvel got the new General Ross from the Ang Lee Hulk movie or the Norton one.
