The title and band sequence are nods to DS9, just to note. Viva Vic Fontaine!

I was saying earlier that this seems unusually choppy for an episode directed by Two-Takes Frakes.

I actually thought it was on point for a hapless bloke like Mr. Grant. He actually sounds a bit north of the Watford Gap…not much north, though, just off the end of the Metroland lines.

It’s more like 75% of e. Coli — the 50% in the various creatures, plus 50% of what then remains. Otherwise…correct.

The truly disappointing thing about that super expensive LOTR series that a huge chunk of that money went to Saul Zaentz and the Tolkein estate.

Funnily enough, the only one of the main TV shows that’s *definitively* at-best MCU adjacent is “Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.”, and then only after the first three seasons. It finished up at least several timelines away, though, and a candidate for a TVA reset. “Cloak & Dagger” and “Runaways” are a bit grey-area, but could…

They need to keep Jack around. He needs to meet Mantis so we can have the MCU version of the Celestial Madonna arc…which will be hilarious. Especially if Gunn directs it.

He is, yes, plus there’s the idd thing that this is supposed to be the 4th wall breaking She-Hulk, so I wonder if they’re going to tie this to the multiverse. The MCU is unchained!

If I recall it’s actually *very* quickly mentioned in the film.

One of the Haim girls, so it’s probably nipples everywhere (at least one of their videos has all three in tank tops and panties throughout and it’s, errrr, highly distracting.)

I’m finding it harder and harder to give a damn about this series, honestly. I could defend it up to a point, but now…not really, no.

The Second Foundation seems to be here via Hardin’s visions (and Gaal’s.)

Nice update, Rob…but the battleship isn’t stated as having blown up any planets, just that it’s capable of producing atom blasts capable of shattering a planet. 

Yeah, a lot of it depends on which rights they have — technically they *could* reveal Demerzel as Daneel if they have rights to the prequels and sequels, but I think it puts Giskard off-limits as they’re not really part of the Foundation prequels. They can still go with Zeroth, but as something Daneel develops. It…

And Galaxia.

I like the subtlety with which they’re centering Demerzel. They’ll eventually be the focus character, I imagine. Their expressing faith isn’t odd in the overall context, given that they have a belief in humankind being able to transcend — plus it’s a way to make the Zeroth Law function. If Goyer sticks to the overall…

Well, this answers my questions about how they’ll handle the time jumps and the anthological nature of the series and whether things will descend into flashbacks and flash forwards.

They do, yes.

To be fair, at least one of the videos showcases the nipples of all three, something that gave *me* bass face.

David Goyer.
