“The only thing you’re running in here is your mouth!”

Yes! Right down to the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe part!

Aw, I’m happy for her 💕

HBD Peaches! My younger son’s birthday is on Tuesday, so it has fallen on Easter before. Easter was quite early in 2005, the year he was born - it fell on the last Sunday in March.

“Move, or you will be moved.”

Oh ffs, that’s where I recognize her from! A local independent station just started rerunning ER from the beginning, and “Love’s Labor Lost” was on a couple of weeks ago. Of course, she played the obstetrician in that episode. I knew I’d seen her in something recently.

The actor who played Luca several years ago is now on The Boys, which is currently filming in Toronto.

My sympathies ❤️ My dad died last July, so almost exactly seven months ago. When I saw him not long after it happened, I felt the same way - it was him, but he wasn’t there any more. I’m glad I got the chance to see him, though. That’s why I cried at that part of today’s ep.

I swear, whenever I watch American TV (which isn’t often 😆), all the commercials are for drugs, ambulance chasers, and cars!

A good Internet and IRL friend of mine wrote something about grief a while ago that gained a little traction online. It was about grief being love with nowhere to go, and it gathers up in the corners of your eyes and in the lump in your throat. I thought of it when Vision said that.

I just had a good laugh with myself about “Buttbiscuit”...I imagined what someone new to the forum would think upon seeing that, wondering who it was and how we came up with the nickname in the first place 😆

Any Stargate SG-1 fans here? I thought Monica’s vehicle looked a bit like an oversized MALP 😄

Lucinda, if you want to watch Wandavision, you should go ahead and watch it! Sure, it helps to have seen the movies, but your son could explain the basic backstory to help you understand what’s going on. It’s a great series!

That’s so exciting, good for her! Here’s her reaction when she learned that she got the role:

I thought the same thing.

I guess I’d forgotten that he’d been let go from the show before his death - in my memory, they wrote Doyle off after he died - but then again I had lost track of the show, and of Buffy, in 2001-2002 after my first child was born. After that I really didn’t have the mental energy to keep up with any shows. I also remember when the actor who played the demon bartender died. That was sad, too - he was a great character. The musical Buffy episode aired when I was in hospital after having the aforementioned baby; I vaguely remember watching it.

*resisting the urge to run out and buy a PS5 so I can play The Last of Us*

Good article from Den of Geek about the commercials and their parallels with the Infinity Stones. https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/wandavision-episode-6-commercial-explains-what-theyve-all-been-about/

Science rules! (h/t Bill Nye)

It’s so deceptive when the timer says the ep is 37 minutes long, but there’s five or six minutes of credits!

Gina Carano has announced a project with Ben Shapiro and the Daily Wire. To quote Iago from Aladdin, “I am so surprised. I am going to have a heart attack and die from my surprise.”

Thanks!

My feeling is that these writers don’t do anything by mistake.

Holy sh*t, that was creepy 😳 The cul-de-sac on the edge of town, with the flickering lights and people who couldn’t move, straight-up gave me Stephen King vibes (The Langoliers, if any of you’ve read that). I’m unfamiliar with the Young Avengers. Are the twins part of that? If so, do they have the same powers here as in the comics? I had goosebumps when Wanda was expanding the Hex. Also, I almost felt like crying, because she’s so bereft that she will do whatever she can to protect her illusion of Vision and of her perfect world. Another outstanding episode! (I didn’t mean to quote myself but I hit the wrong button 😄) Darcy while the Hex boundary was approaching - “FuUUUUUDGE” 😆😆😆

I’ve been fanwanking recasts in my head today, like I have nothing better to do, and I wondered if Ronda Rousey would be a good fit. I don’t know much about her other than she’s a former MMA fighter - I don’t even know if she’s done any acting. I thought about Emily Van Camp. She certainly kicks ass as Sharon Carter, and she’s already working for Disney 😄 Also, how about Grace Park? Even though BSG was over 15 years ago, she was great as Sharon/Boomer. Ooh, how about Chloe Bennet? She’d be about the right age for Cara, and I could definitely see her as a former soldier.
