Interesting episode but Bullseye's escape was kind of dumb. Like he has restraints when walking down the hallway surrounded by guards. But when he is with the doctor and one guard he is in much weaker restraints. And it's not like they were stitching up his hands so why remove the hand covers?

That could get interesting. John Oliver seems to like to say things that go right to the very edge of what could be legitimate grounds for a lawsuit. And then the HBO lawyers seem to have his back if people he says things about trying to sue him anyways. So I wonder what happens if he upsets someone who is also on the HBO payroll.

I haven't really been loving this season so far but that was really funny. I would totally watch a show that was just about Lois and The Joker. The way he was fighting the Automatons without really thinking about it was really funny.

I saw a picture on Reddit from Sarah Sherman's social media of Heidi Gardner in the make up chair getting the prosthetics installed.

I probably wouldn't see it either way but I am not sure modern CGI could pull off 70 feet of human hair and make it look good. And I am not sure many actresses could make me believe the hair was actually attached to her head, especially with the associated weight.

So I found this article which makes a bit more sense. It seems to have nothing to do with Netflix writers. It has more to do with Kingpin being a Spiderman villain and being part of the package of characters that Sony owns the movie rights to. Although I am still curious how Fox got away with having him in their DD movie. https://www.avclub.com/vincent-donofrio-kingpin-cant-be-in-marvel-movies

How so? Beyond the characters I already mentioned we also saw Kate Bishop show up in Marvels. John Walker is going to be in Thunderbolts, Isaiah Bradley was in Captain America Brave New World and Valentina showed up in Black Widow and Wakanda Forever. What makes those characters different than Kingpin? All those characters showed up in TV first. So I am not sure what kind of precedent Kingpin would set. Especially since he first appeared on TV in 1989 and then was in a theatrical release after that.

That's such a weird thing to comment on. I mean I don't know much about Asexual people but I am not sure an awareness day equals oppression. Plus all her bullshit arguments against Trans people seem like they wouldn't apply to Asexual people so it's like going out of your way to be an asshole.

Do you have a citation for that since it doesn't make any sense based on characters we have seen show up in movies? Like you said Matt Murdock from Netflix Daredevil was in No Way Home. Kingpin was in the Affleck Daredevil movie. Kamala Khan who first appeared in her own TV series, was in The Marvels. And Kingpin was created by Stan Lee and John Romita Sr. They also created Mary Jane Watson who was in the Raimi movies and Spider Man Across the Spiderverse. And both Daredevil and Kingpin's first live action appearance was in the 1989 TV movie The Trial of the Incredible Hulk.

I saw that article and it makes no sense. Because Kingpin was in a movie and was played by Michael Clarke Duncan. And another character from that movie Elektra played by Jennifer Garner has appeared in the MCU. I kind of wonder if he has no idea what he is talking about.

Pretty much nothing I have seen from Jane Wickline has been memorable so far but I did like that couple. It's impressive that they actually wrote it so they are into each other and care about what the other person likes. Because it would have been super easy to make it the shy nerdy girl who settles for a guy who doesn't really care about her.

Interesting, probably King of the Hill influencing what I know about Texas, since it's not a far drive from Arlen to Durndle. Although looking at Google maps of the El Paso area there are a bunch of incorporated towns outside the city. Would those areas have fire services? If not it seems that Las Cruces is about an hour away. An hour commute would obviously suck but Eddie used to live in LA which is kind of known for horrible gridlock.

The fact that she is a 40+ woman wearing a backwards baseball cap in her own house while doing the family morning routine was pretty funny. I'm not a huge Oasis fan, hearing Wonderwall was cool. I have found that this season hasn't had the awesome 90's soundtrack like seasons 1 and 2. Also what was the deal with those locusts or moths or whatever that Shauna was seeing. A hint at something to come or just random.

I watched the first two episodes over the weekend and it definitely grabbed my interest. Kaitlyn Dever is super talented so that helps a lot. One thing I find interesting is that pretty much from the start Belle has been presented as a con artist while Milla is presented in a much better light as if she is some kind of legitimate lifestyle guru that can help people. But really she is also pushing fake medicine to try and cure cancer (my understanding is that Steve Jobs tried a lot of the same "treatments" that we see Milla doing, which he eventually regretted). And I think we are already starting to see some cracks in her beliefs. There was the scene in Mexico where the lady told her she had to buy the book to stay. And Belle thought they were having real conversations by text but it was nothing to Milla.

The assumption that the tape came from Hannah's daughter seems to be a pretty huge one. It would seem way more likely that whoever brought the tape out of the wilderness was the one to be using it. Especially since, even though Shauna said it was just Google how easy would it be to look up birth records of someone born probably in the 1980's and then adopted? One thing I did like was the girls realizing they should put out their torches when chasing. Because between night vision and how well they know the woods, not being a source of light would be a huge advantage. When I was in university I worked with a guy who had a part time job as a wilderness guide/wildlife monitor for research scientists that needed to go into forests. And from what I can remember, a main qualification for that job was having a firearms license. Probably because a crossbow isn't going to do shit against a bear (even Melissa survived one although pushing it all the way through was gross). Weirdly I knew this guy in Canada probably around the same time the 90's part of the show is set.
