It’s pretty wild how far Whedon’s star has fallen at The A.V. Club. I’m curious to see how this turns out.

... so is the “Marvel Moment” a scene or a set of a vibe?

Outside of Polaris and Blink (who were great), there isn’t a whole lot to miss about this show. Shackling the Strucker family to a team of mutants was probably the show’s biggest flaw.

It’s insane to give the worst role in a cast to Amy Acker, who deserved much better than this.

Leftovers was outstanding

Both Lost and BSG seemed to throw hands up in the air and say “It was the about the journey, not the mystery!” which is absolute bullshit when you consider the storytelling and what was prioritized.

I have a lot more confidence in the future storyline now that there’s only 15 (?) episodes or so left in the series.

I’ve long been frustrated with the anti-vigilante law as a plot device. It just felt like a needless exploration of a rather boring avenue of vigilante storytelling, and it’s strangled the show from engaging with its original premise for two seasons now. I tune into this to see Oliver in a Green Arrow suit beating up

I hope Trump is assassinated, sooner rather than later. He can experience a very late term abortion.

When the X-Men inevitably arrive in the MCU, I really hope that it isn’t The Wolverine Show again. As much as I love Jackman, I would really like to see a proper MCU Storm, for example.

For a franchise that’s famously a metaphor for marginalized people, please never let it look like THIS again:

May 2019 see Trump assassinated in an appropriately Game of Thrones-style fashion.

Now playing

reminder that Carano was an action GEM in Haywire

Cisco is the most obnoxious character in the entire DCCW, give or take Felicity when she’s feeling particularly self-righteous.

Honestly very happy that they’ve revamped her origins. The “Psyche-Magnetron” stuff was too convoluted.

I wouldn’t want to watch a continuation without Garner as Sydney. The show only worked because of her performance.

Stephen Moyer - Reed Strucker - is married to Anna Paquin.

I don’t know how you cast Amy Acker on an X-Men show, surround her with allies and family members, all with mutant powers, but don’t give any to her.

It looks less like another attempt at the Phoenix Saga and more like a remake of The Last Stand.
