The Inhumans have the most common set of powers ever and the X-Men have decades worth of cast members. You could find most of these powers in a season of Smallville. It's not that surprising.

They don't really need HYDRA in the films for the foreseeable future. AoU used them purely to provide some tech and an opening sequence, Civil War is more about infighting (and should probably rest HYDRA anyway) and the later Avengers films have Thanos and a plethora of other villains to use.

YES. First thing I thought of!

Just something, because it's important to the balancing act this show plays with Henry's likeability: I thought it was pretty clear that Sunil never lied to his wife but that the wife fabricated the racist remarks (specifically presenting herself as a vulnerable victim) to a) get revenge on Henry and b) make sure her…

To be fair, we have no idea how that would have been executed or how accurate that detail is. It's a) out of context, b) the most headline-worthy tidbit and c) possibly a deliberate leak to make her look bad.

It would be so much easier if people with like opinions only talked to each other. But far less interesting.

The need to find that city was at least partially motivated by the alien DNA in his system which was making him highly erratic as a leader, to the point where he gave May permission to put him down if necessary. He really should have stepped down and let May take the reins.

Cucumber and Banana excel at non-sanitised views of queerness and are far more critical of their characters. They were a limited run but they're pretty amazing. Plus they feature queer characters besides white gay men!

There need be no adoption "storyline", it can be as simple as an unstated or implied piece of backstory.

I thought that was a lovely detail in an amazingly ludicrous scene. As much as kid Bruce Wayne is intelligent and moral, he's still a kid.

The presentation of two sides as of an issue as equally valid can reach preposterous proportions. On a news report about the effects of climate change policy on a community, why are we giving voice to climate deniers over scientists *every time*? It propagates the false idea that two sides of an argument are equally…

Man, I would love if the comics had had an army of Praying Mantises scuttle past the Scoobies when they returned to Sunnydale's crater.

Well yeah, you'd expect network TV to be a shitstorm. That doesn't actually change the fact that what they did was shitty. Like Huang, I'm happy this exists and that it's doing some interesting things. I also think it's important that the show's flaws are addressed, because it *is* heavily denatured.

HAHHAHA, as if an Asian-American sitcom would ever air on Australian television.

It's mainly that she has all the necessary character relationships to make the murder possible and that Sam was too obvious of a killer (and dispatched too early). Plus she has all that involvement in the case that make for excellent ironic flashbacks.

I don't think Annalise is covering for Bonnie. Although I've maintained that Bonnie killed Lilah since around Episode 7. It makes a lot of sense for a season finale this season and might provide an easy escape route for Sam's murderers. Bonnie will be revealed as Lilah's killer and she dies/is killed and has Sam's…

Laurel's violent insistence that they start talking to each other about their lives sounds a lot like "quick guys, we should probably start having connections between cast members!"

Queer as Folk has two versions versus the lesser-known L Word and you're far more likely to find gay male cast members than women, at least in my headspace. (I checked the GLAAD 2014 TV report as a reference and it roughly agrees)

Oh yes, obviously Bobbi and Mack aren't dead. I mean that the unfinished nature of Izzy's death makes her more memorable and relevant to whatever plan she set in motion. They've made a few oblique references to it.

They did it *specifically* so you'd think she would stick around and be all the more hurt when she died. I think it worked. It certainly works for the Bobbi/Mac stuff they're doing now.
