Steve didn't know about the dead psychiatrist. But, at the airport, he approached Team IronMan by himself and told him about Zemo going to Siberia where the other Winter Soldiers were kept. Tony didn't want to listen to him. He called in Underoos to web Steve. Tony presented actual proof about Zemo to Ross who basically scoffed at him. But at that point Wanda hadn't broken any law. She simply refused to sign. So yeah, okay, she's not a citizen, deport her. I think Steve saw that as the beginning of a slippery slope. Detention without due process. Which is exactly what happened to Sam, Clint, Wanda & Scott. Even Tony was surprised they were being held in the raft. Speaking of Scott, why was he being held there? Either the Accords apply only to the Avengers or they don't. If they don't then Peter Parker & T'Calla are just as guilty of operating without UN sanction as Team Cap.

Maybe she has a crush on Hawkeye.

The whole Accords things is so messed up. Ross shows up with Tony, drops a phonebook sized document on the table, gives them an ultimatum "sign this or retire" and tells them The Accords WILL be ratified in 3 days. That really doesn't give Steve or anyone else who may object time to read/study the hundreds of pages of legalese or have the opportunity to get some lawyers to look at. Ross isn't leaving any room for negotiation. Steve is the only shown actually reading them prior to getting the text about Peggy. I just can't figure Tony in this. Either 1) he's so fucked up emotionally that he's grasping at anything to relieve his guilt and is willing to sign without going through the Accords with a fine toothed comb. or 2) he's had advanced notice of the Accords, read them, but didn't tell anyone else and just decided he knew what would be best. Personally, I lean towards option 1. As far as his parents' murder: Zemo explicitly states he found out about the 1991 mission by decrypting the SHIELD/HYDRA files that Natasha released and that led him the Russian handler for the paper files. We're supposed to believe that Tony wasn't all over those files like ants at a picnic? Really? Tony values information. In Cap2, Zola implies to Steve and Natasha that HYDRA was responsible for the Starks' death. Neither of them had any clue the Winter Soldier was involved. I really wish we got at true follow-up to Cap2. Steve and Sam with the help of Natasha and possibly Sharon tracking down Bucky with Zemo and the other Winter Soldiers as the big bad. The bones of it are still there in Civil War. I just feel that Cap's final solo movie got highjacked by Tony's manpain.

But that's just it. She didn't sign and ended up under house arrest because of her powers. I agree. The way the Accords are presented is a huge problem. We have no idea what exactly the accords say. What the movies tells us is that they mean the Avengers can only go where the UN authorizes. And Ross, for some unknown reason, appears to be the one that was put in charge of the Avengers. Maybe he did. But he's listed a signatory on the Accords along with Tony, Steve, Rhodey, Natasha, Wanda, Vision, and Sam.

What Tony says is something along the line of they don't give visas to weapons of mass destruction. And that was why she was being kept at the Avengers' compound, basically under house arrest with Vision as her warden. That leads to an interesting question. They were given the choice to sign the Accords or retire. Clint retired. How does Wanda retire? It's not like she can turn off her powers. Is she going to be kept under house arrest or worse forever?

Yes. There are two.

They might even be more insightful than their parents. It wouldn't take much.

From the Dullards thread: http://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/jill-duggar-midwife-complications-99467 Does anyone seriously believe JD is a licensed EMT? I sure don't. There is no way he completed the training to be even the lowest level EMT. http://www.topemttraining.com/emt-training/arkansas/

Thank you! I can live with that. Why do I still have to wait 3 weeks to see it?

dkb,

The Sox have placed Sandoval on the 15 day DL.

That's beautiful!

I agree. Marvel must gotten a lot of very positive feedback from the screenings to lift the embargo so quickly.

I've found denial to be extremely effective.

I, for one, will be seeking out every spoiler I can, otherwise this movie will kill me.

Social media embargo for Captain America: Civil War lifts tonight at 11 pm PST and reviews can start posting Wednesday. https://twitter.com/PeterSHall/status/718449392483590144

I was wondering that too. I count at least fifteen cracked eggs in that carton.

I'll be doing my family's traditional Easter brunch. The centerpiece will be pizza gaina (sp?) which I'll make on Friday - because that's when my mother did it and she always said it had to be made on Good Friday. There'll also be prosciutto, soprasata, strawberries, pineapple, cantaloupe, and a cheese plate. Dessert will be a pizza dolce (ricotta pie) since I finally figured out how to make one that tastes like the one from my favorite Italian bakery. And all this will be gluten-free as my father and sister-in-law both have celiac.

True fact I used to work for the company that makes those shopping carts for kids. ETA: there's a warning label on the car that explicitly states children SHOULD NOT be allowed on top of the car. But we all know the Duggars think things like that don't apply to them. Because Jesus.

Haven't seen it in a while, but I think Ross got gunned down in his car. G/E arrive on the scene and the feds are taking control and Goren is having none of it. He was yelling "He's our captain!" (Rather over the top and OOC imho considering Ross and Goren's relationship or lack thereof.)

My condolences, HFC.

My copy of People (don't judge me, I had airline miles that were about to expire so I turned them into like 8 magazine subscriptions) came in the mail yesterday. What a load of BS. Here's what the little blurbs about each kid say, Joy, 18: Is finishing their home-school curriculum (I thought they finished at 16). Helps with the family real estate busy biy painting an tiling. Also does party planning (Maybe she's apprenticing with Sierra.) Jana, 26: Handles the design for the houses the family flips (Jana - Architect/Interior Designer, yup). "Ripping out walls, painting, putting in electrical outlets and light fixtures--it's a lot of fun." (more like lots of code violations.) Jinger, 22: Buys, restores, and sells cars. (Really?!) Works in a prison ministry--at max security & juvenile prisons. John-David, 26: Pilot. Part-time police officer (Lie. Constable does not equal police officer). Helps with the family real estate and used car business (I thought Boob got rid of the used car lot) Josiah, 19: Working towards his pilot's license. Does the prison ministry thing with Jinger. Joseph, 21: Went to Clown College for a year and now is back in the family business (grifting). Ben, 20: Being a new dad. Finishing undergraduate studies online at Moody Bible Institute. Volunteers at a local church. Bible study every Friday and has friends over to talk. (But no job) Jessa, 23: Stay-at-home mom. Still into date nights. Exploring adoption but won't proceed until Spurge is 9 months old. The Dullards didn't rate blurbs.

This is the Duggars. "Sex" could mean their hands accidentally touched while passing around the tater tot casserole.
