I really wish when the mom was being annoying about the PS5 and where Chris would live, that Eddie just calmly said that he was in Texas now, with a livable home, and that Chris and the PS5 would be there and the parents options would be to be cool with that, to not see Chris anymore. Also I am surprised that at the end Chris didn't make some corny speech about how Eddie didn't lie and that he will always be a firefighter since it's not just a job, it's who he is. You would think the producers would have realized there already was a separate 911 show set in Texas and it wasn't very good and got cancelled.

That episode was pretty good, nice to see Matt say fuck it. The fight in the train station was pretty awesome. Although I am curious to know who Muse is that he could hold his own with Matt. The task force is interesting, what with it being full of dirty cops. Although I just recently watched the series We Own This City (staring Jon Bernthal) and then read the book book. It was based on the true story of corrupt plainclothes police units, so I could easily see the task force going really bad really fast. The only thing that kind of bugged me a tiny bit was when Heather asked Matt about the vigilantes he has defended. Because I kept trying to figure out if he remembers anything about defending Peter Parker. Like I know he doesn't remember Peter, but is that time in his life like a blackout or does he remember someone else in place of Peter? He might do Marvel TV. I mean he did 4 episodes of the Canadian show Dragon's Den (Canadian Shark Tank), so he is obviously not against doing tv. And I would think that a Marvel show would be a step up from a Canadian reality show.

I have watched a lot of hospital shows in my life, but when they were wheeling in those bins full of equipment I was like "holy shit". So good job show, it's nice that a doctor show can still surprise me. That scene really surprised me too. I especially liked that when the kid said he wanted to wait for his mom, dad was like "cool I'll wait with you". I was really expecting some bullshit where he takes the kid home and McKay doesn't find out until after and loses her shit. But instead it just showed that he was a good dad even if he had issues with his ex. So again good job show.

So I have never been to El Paso (at least as an adult), but one thing I always notice, when driving through the US (at least compared to Canada) is how close all the cities and towns are to each other. Like if you drive 20 minutes outside of a city you are already in a new town. So it makes me wonder like if the El Paso fire department isn't hiring, is there not another city or town in driving distance that might be? Or is there really not another job he might be qualified for that would pay better than Uber? He is a firefighter/medic who is also a former soldier who did dispatch for awhile. Even on stupid 9-1-1 Lone Star Judd stopped being a fire guy and was looking into being a trucker.

I just watched that scene again and it seems like it's the Khan's moving in or at least also moving in. There are a ton of moving boxes and why would someone who has lived in space have moving boxes. Kamala makes a comment about how much she loves it there. And Kamala's mom even makes a comment to the brother about how it would be a great place to raise a family. Plus there Jersey city house got seriously messed up at the start of the movie. I guess if it wasn't them it was just one more dumb thing about that movie.

Kind of forgotten though, since didn't the end of The Marvels show the Khan family moving to Louisiana and into Maria Rambeau's house? One thing I always appreciated about the Netflix Daredevil show was how brutal the fights looked especially in season one. And I appreciate that this show is keeping that up, since I hate it when regular humans fight and take what should be a beating with no damage. And Matt breaking that guy's leg looked brutal.

So was Fisk gone from NYC and didn't see Vanessa between Christmas 2024 and December 2026? Where was he for the time when he wasn't in Oklahoma?

I am liking this show but I feel like the episodes could easily be 5-10 minutes shorter without making much of a difference. Especially since not much has happened. Cool to see Frank show up though. Generally I find The Punisher kind of boring and one note. But Bernthal is a great actor so that kind of counteracts it at least somewhat. And I did appreciate that in his Netflix show they made Frank kind of a bad person even before his family was killed. From what I remember from my comics reading days Matt Murdock was definitely a ladies man. Too bad Natasha Romanov didn't live long enough to meet him.

But wasn't the end of Hawkeye where he got shot, like years ago, both in the real world and the MCU. But it wasn't years, in the MCU between Hawkeye and the Echo show was it. If that is what you mean that his time "away" was all of the time between Hawkeye and Echo?

I honestly would not have guessed that the real life problem of dirty cops worshipping The Punisher, and completely missing the point of the character, was something that the MCU would be dealing with. So I am kind of impressed that they went there. What I don't get is how long was Fisk away and where did he go. At the end of Echo she messed with his mind to help him process his childhood trauma. And when he is flying home from Oklahoma he learns about the NYC mayoral election. But in this show it makes it sound like he was gone for years (somewhere?) to recover from everything that happened to him.

I really like how this show doesn't spell things out, which really works on rewatch. We never really saw how Cassian got his little saw or found the access panel but he has been there for a month and he has already been using it for awhile. He also made friends it seems with the guy on the other table who helped him figure out that the elevator isn't wired for frying people. If they had to show every little obvious thing like that the episodes would be a lot longer and wouldn't be as good.

One interesting thing I noticed was they showed Bix running away, the cut to the scene with Saw then in the next scene she was in handcuffs without ever showing her getting captured. It was an effective way to show how for most people you can't run and their is no escape from the empire. Also when the other prisoner was giving Cassian the cell tour, was this the first mention of a toilet in Star Wars?

It's too bad this whole storyline ended up just being a Maddie gets kidnapped thing. Because what they did last week with her going to a pretty dark place to try and save a victim was actually interesting. Her having to deal with the trauma of that could have been interesting too. Also once again in the 911 world we get one of my most hated tropes where of course Athena finds out who the villain is and is also the first one to get to her. To make matters worse she was at the 911 dispatch centre and could have easily done the "all units" thing so the nearest cop to the house could have gotten there.

Buck's reaction to Eddie moving was pretty stupid. But I was pretty impressed by Maddie's story. Right or wrong her cold blooded move to get the guy to kill himself was surprising, and surprises don't really happen on shows like this. The ending was stupid. After how traumatic that last call was I can't believe Athena just told her to go home and hug her kid and start drinking. Not even an offer to drive her home or call her brother or husband so she would have some support. Or better yet talk to a counselor or someone before she left. And the very end where she was assaulted it was shot so weirdly I wasn't sure if it was the detective lady or if it was some weird surreal thing where bad-Maddie was back and trying to get rid of good-Maddie.

Surprisingly I actually knew that, since she was actually an Avengers back in the late 90's when I was reading comics. That said I still think of her from the cartoon I watched when I was a kid.

As a child of the 80's who loved Spiderman and His Amazing Friends that would be amazing. Although a character created for a kids cartoon might piss a bunch of people off.

He probably meant co-workers plural, so he is allowed to date one.

That looks pretty cool. I never really thought about why they called it the "Rebel Alliance" in the original trilogy, but it totally makes sense that if you have a dictatorship that covers a whole galaxy you are going to have all these different rebel groups starting up. Getting them to work together and agree on a common goal would be extremely difficult and would be super interesting.

Is there a disability that gives people tiny plastic hands?

That was so weird. Other than the puppet showing up I am not really sure what made it a PBS show.

Even Johnny was better than Daniel. He mentions this in the last season of Cobra Kai how he had been practicing karate for years and Daniel had 6 weeks of training. But Daniel's main strength I think wasn't defense or wax on wax off it was his ability to focus. That's what all those breathing exercises were about. It's actually kind of annoying this wasn't mentioned more in the CK show.

I thought the first season was awesome. The second season was good but seemed to rely too much on appearance from other SW characters. By season 3 it became a sequel to a show I had no interest in.

Eurotrip is freaking hilarious and has probably one of the best surprise cameos in a movie ever. While Whedon is clearly a shit bag, isn't that the rule that all minor actors have to be with a parent when working on a movie or TV set? Christopher Mintz-Plasse was 17 when they filmed Superbad so his mom had to supervise his sex scene. It's like right in the SAG rules for minors that a parent who is not also working has to be able to be close enough to their kid to see and hear them at all times.

That looks pretty awesome. And it's interesting that the best Star Wars stuff for me at least in the last several years has been the sophisticated show made for adults (Andor) and the goofy fun show made for kids (Skeleton Crew). Everything else that has tried to land in the middle and appeal to everyone hasn't really worked.

Isn't Kill Bill almost entirely ripped off from old martial arts movies?
