  1. There's also the matter of most bisexual men eventually settling down in long-term relationships with women (something like 89% in the most recent survey I read). Tommy has good reason to be guarded even if we know Buck is sincere about their relationship. I can say from experience, it's no fun to be dropped like a hot potato because someone decides he's at the right age/stage in life to get serious and that can only happen with a woman.
  2. Plus all the catastrophic effects of ecosystems suddenly dealing with half the number of animals. (Plants didn't seem to be snapped, I guess Thanos considered them "resources" rather than lives. I wonder where fungi and other life forms that didn't fit the false animal/plant dichotomy fell?)
  3. I'm not so sure. Agatha revealed she can only drain powers/life if the other witch(es) blast her, and all the ones we saw in flashback seemed pretty damn quick to resort to violence after being insulted. Agatha's attitude toward witches was a result of trauma from her first experience with her mother's coven, but I don't think she was necessarily wrong about most of the ones she killed. Alice and Lilia are the only two we've seen that I feel confident about being benevolent. (Jennifer may lean in that direction, but she has some edge and the hundreds of people suing her over her products probably wouldn't see her that way.)
  4. Mark Metcalf was the actor who played the Master on that, though Brian Thompson did have a prominent role in the pilot, and in the Season 2 midseason finale/opener.
  5. She wishes she were only 20 years older than those girls!
  6. I suppose the really attractive young ladies (and certainly the ones with the confidence to aggressively pursue dating themselves) aren't the ones whose mothers feel it necessary to corner a newly eligible rabbi after services and throw their daughters at him.
  7. The charcuterie board faux pas reminded me of my mother's tale of welcoming my cousin's Jewish in-laws to a dinner with her signature entree—a slow-baked ham. She was mortified when she found out they had dietary restrictions forbidding it!
  8. For me, it's because the iconic DC characters were the ones I read about most as a kid, so they're the ones more tightly bound up in my love of comics. The MCU's worst movies tend to feature heroes I don't care about that much (sorry, Iron Man and Ant Man), whereas when DC stinks up the theater it's often marquee characters like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman that are center stage.
  9. It wouldn't be out of character for her to have done it intentionally, but then again I would find panicked and instinctive defensive reaction plausible while being possessed by the ghost of the mother who tried to execute you and wants to keep you in her clutches forever for punishment.
  10. Noah seems a little young to me to be so focused on becoming head rabbi to a congregation that includes his parents, his domineering sister-in-law, possibly his ex girlfriend, and likely a lot of other people who have strong opinions about how he should live his life since they watched him grow up. Even removing Joanne from the equation entirely I don't see him being able to command the respect from that group of people that he would need to in order to be an effective moral/spiritual leader. If being head rabbi is his ultimate goal in life, I think he needs to do it further afield, with people who first meet him as an adult authority figure.
  11. If a job is so controlling of your life that other people get veto power over your pre-existing romantic relationships, maybe it's not that great a job to strive for? (Note that I feel the same way about the RCC's restrictions on its clergy, and other faiths where the religion, race, or sex of someone's significant other is an issue.)
  12. I ordinarily cast a disapproving eye upon the idea of cheating, but if this weird vibe Morgan and Sasha are developing results in Esther shrewing her way right out of the Roklov family and Noah's life, I wouldn't mourn.
  13. Wouldn't an affiliated summer camp where he's known as "Hot Rabbi" be about the last place Noah would want to take Joanne if he's nervous about the reaction people at his temple might have to him dating her? I would imagine that even without his boss unexpectedly showing up, word about him bringing a hot blonde gentile woman to share his cabin would spread pretty quickly through the grapevine.
  14. I think that's because she may not have really expected to open the gate to the Witches' Road at all, and was just using that as an excuse to gather covenless witches and steal their powers. Turns out Sharon was close enough to a witch to get them on the road after all.
