This was the Disney+ show I was most interested in and the pilot I liked least. As mentioned above, the "Loki is out of his depth" bit got really fucking old. I guess it was just to clarify "don't fuck with the TVA" but man, did that get stale.

Aside from that, it just felt off in a way. I want Marvel to do different things, but something about all this didn't sit right, I just didn't enjoy any of that.

Worst was probably the Coulson scene where Loki went "Small comfort for a dead man" and the writers could have just made Owen Wilson go "Weeeelll..." but NOOOOOOOOO let's ignore everything AoS, even the early seasons.

1. Monkey Gone to Heaven
Probably a top 3 Pixies track.

2. Tame
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i6jtsCpImo
says it all doesn't it

3. Hey
It feels very unlike Pixies, with the track being slower and overall more quiet, but everything about it works from the opening HEY to the UH to the we're chained.

4. Dead
URIAH HIT THE CRAPPER!!!! Such a fun track.

5. Wave of Mutilation

6. Debaser
This is one of the songs I absolutely adored and where the love has kinda waned over time. I still think it's a great track, but I wouldn't rush to it anymore if I wanted to hear Pixies.

7. Gouge Away
it's ya boy Samson, gouging out eyes. Great energetic closer.

8. Mr. Grieves

9. Here Comes Your Man
I was never too fond of this on. I just kinda feel like it's there, but it doesn't do anything special for me, even though it's a fun track.

10. I Bleed

11. Crackity Jones

12. Silver

13. La La Love You
There was a time where I listened to this track a lot but I don't really get the hook anymore.

14. No 13 Baby
More like No 14 Baby amirite guys lolz

15. There Goes My Gun

Also I wouldn't mind being added to the nomination queue.

I don't watch tennis, but in football (soccer) you could literally copy+paste every interview after a win/loss for a player. It's so mediatized that they're basically not saying anything anyway, so I rarely see the need for it. I also wonder how many people actually watch those.

In team sports, I understand interviewing the manager to get insight into a gameplan, but players is just press masturbation in the hopes of them being emotional and stirring the pot against other players/managers/referees/... .

I think people underrate Iron Man 2 and overrate Guardians of the Galaxy. When they watched IM2, they were expecting greatness and only got fun action movie. When they watched GotG they had no clue what to expect, so anything was better. I think if people would go back and watch those movies now they'd have very different opinions.

Eternals looks unique, but I also have no clue of what to expect from it. It will also have a difficult task in that it has to introduce a whole bunch of characters at once, which is never easy (see Justice League). F4 at least has some recognizability after all the shitty movies, but who really knows any of the Eternals? I guess they were too afraid to tie their origin to a TV-show but I'd be curious to see what happens with it.

I also can't believe they're still releasing Black Widow clips. Is there a scene of that film that hasn't appeared in a teaser, trailer, or clip?

Bloodbuzz Ohio is one of those songs I never seem to get tired of and keep coming back to.

Funny, with me it's kinda the opposite. I dig most of the non-"popular" The National tracks way more than I do the "popular" ones.

I recently discovered When Doves Cry and man, is that a brilliant song.

Yeah claiming ME2 is worse with abilities is wierd because Biotics and Tech in ME1 were an embarrassing waste of time that no human should ever use. If you weren't playing soldier in ME1 you were just straight up handicapping yourself, there was NO advantage to using another class other than "well I wanna".

Which, I mean, if you wanna you wanna! It's not like it wasn't VIABLE, it was just pointless.

lolwut biotics absolutely annihilate in ME1. About as broken as Gen 1 Psychic Pokemon.

I have it on a standard Xbox One and actually didn't have too many issues, and I actually feel the game got worse (technically) as time went on because of the patches.

I think it's a good game and it's got some real highs (most of the main story feels pretty intense) and Johnny, Judy, and Panam are S-tier characters, but there's also some stuff, writing and gameplay-wise, that kinda feel incomplete, and you have to wonder if that's down to incompetence, rush, save-up for DLC or build-up for a sequel.

While it's understandable why the gesture is heartwarming and important, the whole thing about adding a piece to the museum about Isaiah doesn't work out fully without issues. He was very insistent that he wanted his privacy, and while he probably didn't mean it and was hurting, it was still kind of a bad move for Sam to go behind his back and reveal his identity and lay out his life story to the public without asking permission at first. What if Isiah was against it? You wouldn't be able to take it back afterwards. "Oops, sorry. We'll tear down this wing of the museum immediately".

I think the point is that the name and the person Isaiah Walker are honoured, but it is not linked to Isaiah Walker (as in, I think it's implied he changed his name and has a different identity, given the nurse taking care of him had him declared dead).

Man, Daredevil is so underrated imo. The first season was good and nothing more. Season two was boring and season three was just a rethread of season one.

I liked the action in this episode. I wanna forget everything that happened between the French dude shooting down smoke grenades and Sam landing in front of the senators because it was Bad ("you remind me of myself when I was younger" ughhhhhhhhhhhhh). Sam's speech was solid but did go on too long. Actually curious what they'll do with Walker considering he seemed to make a good turn at the end but seems to be in the employ of bad people.

I got the idea that it was going to be some kind of double-cross. Who else could PB be? It'd be really dumb if it was some random person only introduced in the final episode, right? Is there any other character it could be that would make any sense? Either PB is not appearing in the series, it's going to be revealed in the final moments as a teaser for future works, or it's her.

Like I mentioned, the Comtessa could be the PB. It's Sharon, the Comtessa or a red herring as far as I'm concerned.

I hated Julia-Louis Dreyfus' character. She felt so out of place, like a cartoon/comedy villain in the follow-up to a serious scene and in a serious scene as well. Did not sell me on threatening either. I wonder if the card being blank is a thing where it will reveal contact information once the reader is in the "right mindset" and these Disney+ series are basically setting up all kinds of evil sorcerers and sorceresses?

Fun enough episode, but considering next week is the last episode I feel this finale is getting rushed? I don't know, with the Karli thing at the end and then realizing next week is the last one I just kinda didn't expect it all.

Also Sharon is for sure the Power Broker now, or it's a red herring. Well, I guess it could also be the Contessa.
