I guess the answer is 'yes'?

So are we just not getting new POI reviews any more?

Ah, yes. Thanks for the reminder.

Do we know what Finch's treason was? I seem to recall him going into some detail back in that episode with the suicidal teengage programmer, but I can't remember the particulars.

Bottom line: it might have been surprising or unbelievable to fans, but it was all announced very publicly. And it was backed by very big money, meaning that even if Marvel fanboys didn't think it would all work out, a lot of bankers certainly did.

I agree that they sold it the right way, and that they put the hard work into the build-up, starting with little teasers and working from there. They did things this way precisely because no one had ever tried it before, and they needed to warm audiences up to the new concept of a shared cinematic universe. They…

That's not really true though - Marvel announced back in 2005 exactly what their plans were. They always intended to release several standalone films highlighting individual characters, and then to cross them over in an Avengers film. They set the release date for The Avengers in 2008, just after Iron Man was…

I haven't been keeping up with The Flash - is the giant Canadian flag in the window some alternate universe nonsense, or just really lazy location work?

Maybe Dollhouse doesn't need to be revisited? There was a lot of talent involved in front of and behind the camera, but the results just weren't very good. Some bigger ideas emerged very late in the piece, but overall I think it's better to remember it as an interesting misfire than a lost classic.

I've seen it, but the Sokovia Accords don't come across as all that evil. And Cap is an absolutist - he sees anything that forces oversight on him or takes control off of him as being a bad thing. It's a very anti-democratic way of exercising power.

Loki comes to Earth to fulfill a deal with Thanos. Thanos promises Loki that if he retrieves the Tesseract, Thanos will give him Earth to rule over. The reason Loki wants to rule over Earth of all places is because it is under Thor's protection. He wants to spite his brother. Hence, Thor indirectly causes the events…

There should have just been ten minutes at the start of 'Winter Soldier' that was just Captain America watching a bunch of Youtube stars.

Well…the Avengers initially worked for SHIELD, who turned out to harbor HYDRA agents. And Loki only came to Earth to get in Thor's face. And Ultron was created by Tony Stark. Most of the people the Avengers fight seem to have either been created by them, or are trying to get back at them.

I feel like Cap's lack of MySpace presence has always held him back though. Does he even have Friendster?

The need to kinda come down on Captain America's side in both book and movie feels a little weird. I'm pretty sure that if New York City, Washington DC, London and Johannesburg had been leveled between 2008 and 2016, we'd all probably want some kind of reassurance that the five guys we put in charge of stopping this…

Not gonna dispute any criticism of Millar, but are Stark and Cap's positions that naturally settled? Captain America has always been a fish out of water since he woke up, and split from the US on a number of occasions when he felt it had strayed from its ideals. On the other hand, it feels like Tony Stark's…

Isn't there always a bit of tension in the Marvel universe caused by the existence of mutants alongside all the other superheroes and aliens and magic and whatnot? It just seems like there are an awful lot of mutants, and they all manage to confine themselves to fighting with each other (there are no major Iron Man…

It wouldn't matter, because the Accords are international law, not domestic. They might be inoperative on US soil due to constitutional issues, but that wouldn't affect their application in Nigeria or Sokovia.

Could be that the laughter mangled what should have been 'Finch and Bear'?

The comparison to movies like Ex Machina and The Winter Soldier is fine, but it undersells the achievements of Person of Interest a bit. One of the braver steps that PoI took, which Ex Machina didn't, was to present an AI that was fundamentally different in its outlook, thought processes and basic structure than a…
