  1. 4x07 Christmas: Bye bye Oscar. U will be missed. This episode was actually pretty mellow and not a whole lot happened but it was so much better than last year's holiday ep involving the Wizard of Oz girl. that ep was so painful to get thru. baby James Jr.!!! a cutie. Cool to see Helen keeping the whittled old man winter tradition alive. Really lovely. I liked james' training officer. Tough but fair.
  2. Dang. I had completely forgotten about that grantchester Christmas special. way back in season 2. And ofc it heavily involved Amanda so no wonder I completely erased it from my mind. Silly me keeps forgetting about the shows originally airing on multiple British networks first. Also which shows are by the British networks or pbs productions. A sign I need to go to sleep lol. They should give the mystery shows more Christmas specials! Who do I have to write/call to make that happen? Lol. Who wouldn't want a good ol' fashioned holiday themed murder mystery? Especially an ol' timey one like it'd be in Miss Scarlet? pbs can spare one of their fundraising timeslots! Or one of the timeslots they fill with a repeat musical performance!
  3. I hope he comes back too! I hope this is where the next season picks up too. Yes! I miss him. I hope Phelps continues to soften over the course of the series. He seems to be getting along slightly better with Fitz a bit more with each passing season so I hope that continues. Same. I get platonic friend vibes too. I want to know how well a show has to do to earn that extra Christmas episode each season. Downton was obviously massive, call the midwife is pretty big...I think. All Creatures seems fairly popular. Is it mainly bc of the ratings/popularity? Or Bc they're under Masterpiece Theatre rather than Masterpiece Mystery? Why don't the detective shows get an extra holiday episode :(
  4. My heart goes out to Gerald. Sadly it was never meant to be. When he fixed the sink...🥲
  5. Ended my binge with Thor L&T and Quantumania. A bit long for just 2 flicks, sorry! Love & Thunder: Based on how the Internet reacted to this movie I was expecting a lot worse??? Probably an unpopular opinion but I enjoyed it! I can see why people have issues with this film...those issues just didn't affect my enjoyment of the film nearly as much as others by the sound of it lol. The goats: I was expecting a lot more of the screaming goats based on everyone complaining about them but they really weren't in the movie that much? Like what? Four-ish scenes? With their first scene being the longest? Not enough to ruin anything. I totally understand the issue concerning the flip flopping tonal shift between silly and serious. Tbh I think they needed 10-15% less silly, 10% more Gorr (maybe getting to see him slay another god or two?) And I think the movie would have reached a much better balance. Things I really liked: Jane's story. Cancer, man ☹️. You think you get to escape from reality for 2 hrs watching a silly superhero movie, but nope. She was great imo. it hurt to see her go; I think she got a beautiful send off. I liked the rock dude's narration of the story, but I didn't think he needed to be actively present in the film. He was just...there. Thor, Jane and Valkyrie would have been enough. Gorr. Christian Bale was fantastic. Wish we could have gotten a little bit more. Loved loved loved the black and white segment of the film. It looked gorgeous. Wish we could have gotten more. Starts with Love & Thunder (Jane & Thor), ends with Love & Thunder (Thor's newly adopted daughter & Thor). I like it. the not so much: Rock dude didn't even need to be there, like I already stated above. The army of thor-powered kids. didn't need that imo. heimdall had a kid???? Didn't need a naked Thor at the god council thing. Ant man & the wasp: Quantumania: Biggest issue definitely was the movie being 99% cgi greenscreen. Sometimes I miss the old days where they hand painted the backgrounds in a lot of films. they looked a lot more natural tbh, even if the clouds in the sky never appeared to be moving. all the greenscreen stuff takes me out of the film, it's so in your face. The movie felt more about Janet than Ant-man and the Wasp. One of the most forgettable side casts in the MCU. the ants only showed up in the last third of the movie ☹️ The best part of the movie was bar none Michael Douglas waltzing into the scene with his army of ants. Not sure what that says about the movie tbh. The all powerful kang, the dude who was being set up to be the next big bad...got defeated by a swarm of ants, an explosion and then fistacuffs with just two superheroes. And I'm supposed to believe he'd give the next gen avengers team a run for their money?? I mean I understand he was just one variant. But he was not the threat they built him up to be all movie. Was there any way they could have brought back evil bee man not as Modok or whatever he was called? That just leaves Endgame, far from home, no way home, wakanda forever and black widow. Hoping to at least watch one more, otherwise it'll probably be another year until the next update lol.
  6. First William leaves and now Nash is probably going to jail at least for a little bit. Happy for Eliza finally redoing the name over the doorway.
  7. That makes so much more sense lol. Can't believe that didn't click with me. @Raja I agree that we should have gotten a bit more scenes with the hammer lady and the kree. Everything she did was for them but we hardly got to see them or her interacting with them outside of her making speeches.
  8. Was super excited about the EP 1 anniversary news but was immediately saddened by lots and lots of people trashing it across various platforms :'(. I know it's a terrible movie but I've always found it the fun kind of terrible. Also Attack of the Clones is worse, fight me. Seeing the Darth Maul duel on the big screen again is tempting ngl. Also, getting to listen to John Williams' Duel of the Fates in theater surround sound again?!?!?!

    that Moana 2 news caught me surprise. Especially considering I forgot about the series it was supposed to be getting. Lol. My nephew is going to be so excited.
  10. once in a blue moon I pop in here with an update on viewing the mcu movies and I gotta say it's been awhile. I wanna say 3 years but it feels longer than that? Idk. Last ones I watched were Thor 3, gotg 2 and infinity war and those were a really enjoyable group of movies to watch back to back so to speak. Since then I hadn't watched any of the movies from endgame and beyond nor any of the shows. I've followed along decently enough by ways of social media though so I pretty much know what goes on in all of those for the most part. This weekend I binged The Marvels, Shang Chi and Multiverse of Madness. at this point I'm so behind I don't care about the watch order. maybe it's bc I've essentially been away from the MCU for 3 yrs but I didn't think any of them were all that bad? I feel like that saved me from a good chunk of the Marvel fatigue that's hit everyone else. Anyways, not super fantastic but not terrible. I enjoyed them. The Marvels: Fun. I liked the shorter length too tbh. a couple of bonkers moments with the Disney princess planet and the cats/memory scene but I liked it. Liked the trio. They worked well together. definitely was reminded of Spaceballs with the whole stealing a planet's oxygen/resources thing and I would have to say Spaceballs did a better job of it. Biggest flaw was the completely unmemorable villain. Hammer lady. maybe I misheard it, but did she not mention having a sick child (?) thnx to the war and stuff? I don't understand why they didn't use that angle to make her a more compelling villain. It would have fit perfectly with the different family units presented in the movie (Kamala and her fam, Carol and Monica and Maria)??? Lost opportunity there. I feel like you could make a drinking game out of how many times they said 'jump point.' Shang-Chi: maybe it's bc I watched this right after the Marvels and I paused a couple of times due to various reasons, but oh boy you could feel the length of this movie. I really enjoyed the first two-thirds of the movie and am bummed that it devolved into a mystical monster fest right at the end. That giant soul sucking dragon was not needed. Like at all, especially when you have a compelling enough villain with the dad! Like he was great! And then they switched to the dragon :/ Multiverse of Madness: wish they would have committed to the horror aspect just a bit more. I really enjoyed Scarlet Witch as the villain. up until the MCU's version I only really knew her from the X-Men: Evolution cartoon so I'm glad to see her in a more antagonistic role like we got in the cartoon and AoU at least. Stephen and Christine :'( wish they would have taken bigger risks with the multiverse world stuff. They definitely played it safe. Out of the three I think I prefer MoFM. less glaring issues at least to me lol.
  11. 4x04: The turtle plot was my fav bit of the episode. 4x05: So glad the cat survived and is part of the fam now. i liked watching Mrs. Pumphrey and Carmody trying to meet each other half way so to speak, given the current situation. James is leaving and Siegfried won't always be available so they have to make it work somehow. I'd say congrats to Audrey and Gerald, but knowing that they probably won't last puts a damper on things.
  12. Eliza lacked a lot of her usual spark this episode and I can only contribute it being caused by William having left. Everytime she spoke...it was not the usually peppy manner in which she speaks. An okay ep. Glad to see business picking up for Eliza again.
  13. Dang. William actually confessed. Good for him. Wasn't expecting it to happen in nearly the middle of the season though. He was already gone quite a bit last season and now this. :(
  14. The Eliza and William mini-me's were ridiculously spot on. So much this. Rupert finally makes a return, but only in a flashback and played by someone else 😞 Younger Detective Scarlet did a fine job but I'm just a little bit sad we didn't get to see Kevin Doyle again.
