I kind of understand how the hosts could only shoot non-lethal rounds at park guests in Westworld, but how in the hell did they make it safe for guests in Shogunworld? Can’t have a non-lethal arrow shot at you.

I don’t think any President has been a pathological liar. Regular liar, sure. But about completely unimportant, easily provable things? Constantly and with no acknowledgement of error let alone regret?

Record-high for Trump. That’s like being the world’s tallest midget. He’s at 42%.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. A shortened season means they could just start airing it after Avengers 4 comes out in May.

Sadly, premiering ‘later’ doesn’t help. The next Avenger movie basically comes out a year after this one, just did, aka, at the _end_ of when the season is. If it was something like January, that might work, but they aren’t going to start the new season in May.

I’m psyched that it’s back. I was hard on it—really hard on it—back in its first season. It felt like a waste of potential. But I’ve been a huge fan since season two, and last season blew me away with how good it was. (Ghost Rider! Madam Hydra!) This season’s had some really great character work, but I’m excited to…

He took on AIDA one-on-one at the height of her powers, in order to allow Fitz and Piper to escape the Playground base, armed with only a pistol...and somehow...unbelievably...inexplicably...survived.

Basically the events of how he was able to survive his seeming murder at the hands of AIDA last season. We don’t get the full details.

They’re talking about Avengers 4, which at least at the beginning, Fury was one of the people disintegrated, leaving Coulson her only point of contact in the present.

This seems like the most measured critique of The Last Jedi. I loved it for the risks it took, and I admit the movie is all over the place in terms of quality, but not for those reasons that fanboys like to point out. The weirdest ones to me are the ones concerning Luke Skywalker, which seem to be based on some…

That’s exactly what happened. Last Jedi rumors and theories were floating around for so long that many fans expected those would be the story. And when it didn’t happen, Cheetos dust flew.

The Last Jedi wasn’t great, but not because Snoke’s history wasn’t revealed, or because Rey wasn’t revealed to be a secret…

Save it for your podcast bud.

Well the initial critical reaction to Last Jedi was also positive, followed by months of every dong with a keyboard and a movie ticket whining, “but moooommmm, my Star Wars isn’t about gas gauges, no one cares about my Snoke fan theories, and these character arcs don’t fit in my narrow box of what they should be!”

Sleepless in Wakanda.

It sounds like the sequel is going to be a romantic comedy.

And then we hear a bell on mail robot, and fade to ‘I’d like to buy the world a coke’

I’m glad there was no mail robot this episode. I love mail robot as much as the next person, but his appearance would have been distracting in an episode this heavy. I honestly hope that last episode, mail robot riding the elevator, is the last we see of it. That would, indeed, be a perfect parting.

Well, the fact is, she’s not responsible for any of this. She’s not responsible for Omar’s death or for Luke cheating, or for Rita getting slapped,for the other Handmaids refusing to kill Janine with her. She may have persuaded them to do those things, but none of this is actually her fault. She never killed anyone,…

Correct. This isn’t Roseanne or NCIS. It requires attention. You can’t play a fucking video game and expect to keep track of what’s going on Westworld.

There was that episode back in Season 1 (I think) where Gilfoyle turns out to be an illegal immigrant from Canada and Dinesh, although from Pakistan, gives him endless amounts of shit for it (“filthy immigrant”). I think that’s the closest he’s gotten to besting Gilfoyle.
