Myrddin

It's entirely possible Spider-Man or someone rushed to help and was overtaken by the Void too. They just had zero impact on the outcome. Once everything was resolved by our new* team, Spider-Man would've been spit out of the cloud with everyone else. I'd argue, this is one of the few finale's where every hero could've shown up for the end battle and stayed off screen, too busy dealing with their own traumas. Actually, this'd make a cool One Shot. /accepts No Prize kthxbye

A few days ago, I made reservations for an early show tomorrow. There was only one other block of reserved seats taken. Marvel needs to build back it's goodwill and hype.

Luthen should just wear glasses. Works for Clark Kent.

And Bix sings I Dreamed a Dream before...

In the same way Huttese is based on Quecuan. They copied the sounds and structure with mostly made up words.

Oh, agreed. And it was especially shocking to me, as I haven't played the game, so I fully expected him to survive somehow. My mental train of thought: Ouch, yeah, he's going to have a bad limp moving forward. Oh, man. He may not be walking again without a cane or crutch. Dude. Listen to your friends, Abby! They don't want his either. One of them is going to pull her back. Ellie is here. Cool. She'll save him. Get 'em! (but not the empathetic friends, ktnx) Um... guys? is no one going to stop... Oh no she didn't. She did. What?? It's like episode 2??

His death in GoT was more brutal. I'm not saying LoU didn't make it hurt, but the gouging of eyes and then head bashed in by the Mountain is pretty hard to top.

I never got around to watching Brave New World yet, but is there anything I should know before seeing Thunderbolts this weekend? Feel free to spoiler tag it and spill whatever points might be relevant. If there are any.

A wind blows from the west.... Moraine's eyes snap open, embracing the Source. "I feel threatened..."

I really love their release schedule. Three episode chunks feels perfect to both create "water cooler talk" (aka forum chatter) and not stretch out the season over too many weeks. When a show is released all at once, we lose that episodic discussion between as some of us (*cough**cough*) binge it all day one. But when it's released one episode a week, I find myself either forgetting details between the episodes, so I tend to wait until half of the season is out before starting. 3 hours a week is a nice balance.

Agreed. For all the things I complain about, I am definitely in the enjoyment side of the spectrum. My non-book reader wife is also invested in the show, even more than me. It's curious season 4 hasn't been green lit yet, and worrisome that this means we're another two years from season 4 if it goes ahead. Maybe they'll decide to film seasons 4 and 5 together... I'd hate to have the Dragon Reborn balding before the Last Battle.

Does Levy's Starfighter movie mean Jenkin's Rogue Squadron is officially dead? It's been almost a year since she announced she was still developing it.

I'm usually on the positive side for this show, but I agree. This episode was rushed and not edited very well. The jumps between scenes felt like they were checking off boxes, rather than using the scenes to tell a complete story. Even the bookend scenes at the end went by so quick it was hard to identify what was going on. I get they wanted to give Shohreh Aghdashloo and Sophie Okonedo time to shine, given their status as actresses, but the Tar Valon part dominated the episode too much. Tanchico suffered the most from being trimmed. And what was up with the empty underwhelming cluttered palace? Granted I always imagined the palace and museum to more like the Vatican, so obviously very different from the show. But they were just running about ransacking a home with a serious need for Marie Kondo. And why stick Thom with that hat if Matt wasn't going to end up with it? Given this is where Matt gets the three arguably most identifiable props, they should've given him the hero shot in "costume" with hat, spear, and medallion. Reading back, it looks like I hated this episode. No, I enjoyed it, and I do think the actors were all on point. Rand is teetering on madness with almost every shot. Like many have said here, the episode should've been longer, or the season expanded to 10 episodes. ETA: I just went back and skimmed back through the episode. I hadn't realized Tanchico was wrapped up so early in the episode, about halfway through. I guess there was less bouncing around than I remembered. But every side plot in Tanchico just ended. No resolution or meeting back up or anything. Just the boat shot at the end.

It'll definitely be in the top four.

Offer them a bit of candy and a bond

With their budget and actual good writing, we might just get a decent show. Imagine that.

Today, it's hallucinating. Probably high.

Maksim stands for "My pArtner MaKes Show I'M in" And you thought Hodor was hard to figure out...

Why don't y'all put these here collars on. We're fixin' to do some magical shit.

Obviously, the leathers were made from snipe hide, known for its durability, ease of working, and sweet smelling odor.

Regarding Sammael: I went back and rewatched the attack on Rand. It was so quick, I had quickly forgotten most of what happened, including Avienda wielding power-enhanced spears. Given Sammael's power hammer, I guess they're moving past the fights that are just hand waving and light threads.

Hard disagree here, if you're talking Man of Steel. He only killed when there was no other way to stop Zod from killing more people (Zod's eye beams were creeping toward a family when Ka El snapped his neck, if I remember). Either kill one or allow multiple others to be killed. Not a kill-crazy guy. If you're talking about when he was resurrected in JL... I don't remember much about why he almost killed the other heroes. I'll defend MoS, but not the rest of the DECU. As much as I did love MoS and how Cavil portrayed Ka El, I'm still looking forward to this more comic-traditional version this summer.

Thom is about to lose a bet....
