Hey, you forgot to report on the third X-Men mini-series, Resurrection of Magneto!

The episide title is "Breaking Brad"

I’m liking it, I think Marie’s story has some nuance with her being very self-aware about the dynamics unfolding, but also making choices that surprise you. Black women are allowed to be messy too.

I don’t know... I thought it was funny.

That was the exact right length for that level of joke.  The fear is that Lower Decks would have done it for 8 times as long.

Did you ever give Angel a try, I felt it ultimately surpassed its origin show.

I enjoyed the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Freudian slip from Cliff about producing: “If it’s not one thing it’s a mother!”

Two things about this episode that my wife and I found funny: Cliff’s “stress dancing” prior to calling MB, and the Ferris Bueller callback when Charles and Oliver were telling MB to leave (you’re still here? Shoo...).  This show is very good at meta

Where were they supposed to find artists who know Fallout?

I’ve been playing the Arkham Horror card game with a buddy and we just did the one based on Dreams In The Witch House, don’t talk to me about fucking Brown Jenkin, Brown Jenkin can go straight to hell.

“That fetching bitch is my daughter. You may lay with her”

I’m pretty sure Rudd is talking to a cookie in the video, listen to it again “you shouldn’t be here, GO! no you’re just going to sit just there, acting all sweet, you’re bad” I’m guessing he’s talking to a cookie that may or may not be poisined

The thing with Chapel is we don’t even know that, initially, she was the only survivor - she was the only one we saw, but she never checked any of the nearby bodies nor did she explore any of the ship. As soon as she saw Spock, she took the only visible EV suit and went after him. There could have been a dozen or so…

Okay, so I don’t do scary because I’m a wuss but also I have a fundamental problem with the fact that one of the foundations of horror is PEOPLE DOING DUMB SHIT THEY WERE SPECIFICALLY TOLD NOT TO DO!!!

He’s a drummer in a band.

The songs in this were mostly pretty forgettable, and most of the cast sounded like the understudies at the closing Sunday matinee (Celia Rose Gooding, Christina Chong & Paul Wesley were a cut above the rest), but I did like how the structure worked to resolve some of the relationship stuff. Loved pregnant Carol…

I think I’d heard Celia Rose Gooding was in a musical before, but hot damn I had no idea they were such a good singer. Chong was good as well, and Peck was a pleasant surprise.

Everyone else was passable - nobody outright bad (Pike was the most obvious non-singer of the bunch, and Anson Mount clearly put the work in to…

You haven’t heard K-pop until you’ve heard it in the original Klingon.

I loved that they snuck in a reference to the gold standard of musical episodes, Once More With Feeling. Bunnies!!
