Oh, I meant it literally, but as a lowest-common-denominator description of Neil Gaiman's Death. Since the show has been ripping Gaiman off since Season 5, and I have zero confidence in the current creative team's ability to come up with something original and, y'know, creative.

Watch it be just this particular manifestation of Death, and next season it'll take the form of a wisecracking model/actress who wears low-cut tops and miniskirts.

Previously the show's canon established that Lucifer (and by extension, the other archangels) was much younger than Death, and was presumably created a few hundred million years ago long after the Leviathans and Mother-of-All had been banished from the earth. Though I suppose we couldn't expect the current showrunners to respect that bit of info any more than any of the other elements of the show's cosmology that have been cheapened and thrown in the trash. Speaking of, given how mundane and ultimately ineffective a threat the Leviathans turned out to be, I assume next season The Darkness will be operating via an evil accounting firm that overcharges clients.

Actually it's Baldr being killed with a mistletoe spear or arrow that sets off Ragnarok, though he's reborn to rule the post-apocalyptic golden age that follows.

Clonking someone in the head with a cinderblock and then running a yacht propeller into them is putting forth a fair amount of effort. Liv didn't have a woodchipper handy, and it sounded like she expected his body to be recovered along with his victims' when the police dredge the lake. In my experience a bargain-basement psychiatric care facility will run you roughly $1,000 a day (possibly considerably more if your treatment involves electroshock or particularly expensive drug therapies). Insurance might pay the bulk of that if Major has any, though.

Well, the comics often have people in loincloths and bone necklaces living in futuristic skyscrapers that look like they belong on Krypton, so that doesn't necessarily rule anything out.

It's worked for Teen Wolf for four seasons. Greenwalt has been positively OBSESSED with having miracle pregnancies/babies on his shows since the first season of Angel 15 years ago. I wish he would work whatever issues he has with the subject out in therapy instead of vomiting them up on our TV screens year after year.

Hey, in the comics Henry Pym started out as an entymologist and then invented shrinking and growing gas and created Ultron. They don't pay a lot of attention to specialization. I loathed Fred (to this day I suspect hearing "Handsome mayunnn, saved me from the monsters!" again would result in me waking up from a rage blackout in a room full of dismembered bodies...), so having an episode devoted to her grisly death and another to every expert on the planet telling her friends that her soul had been burned up in the process, no backsies, suited me just fine.

I heard an Irish accent when Friday was speaking. Though if I were Tony, I'd have used Majel Barrett's voice for my suit AI systems. I'd assume the Vision's density control powers come from the weird fusion of vibranium and artificial flesh that his body is made out of.

Based on friendship with Hogun and Heimdall, I doubt racism is something Thor would be fond of in his followers (or even understand, as applied to skin color rather than actual species). But he does come from an autocratic warrior society that conquered multiple worlds, so some of the principles that we find abhorrent in Nazism might not trouble him.

This. Also, remember back in Season 2 when Nick's love for Juliette was enough to make him shrug off the Siren's influence and come to his senses? No sign of a similar effect on Juliet. I think it's been fairly clear, going back to the first season, that Juliette wasn't as invested in the relationship as Nick was. Right there with you on all of the above. While I'll call it even if Juliette turns out to be dead from multiple arrow wounds laced with a poison supposedly strong enough to kill anything, for my peace of mind I'd have preferred an exit like Fred Ward's from Naked Gun 33 1/3: https://youtu.be/d18pm13G38I?t=2m17s

Aww, that's sweet.

I'm still hoping that they eventually find all the keys and it leads to the awesomely powerful weapon that would have given the 12th century royals the power to rule the world: a prototype matchlock arquebus and the design schematics to build more.

He won me as a fan for life with this quote: I'll follow Robbie to whatever he does after Supernatural—assuming, of course, that the show and his tenure on it end within my lifespan. Bob Singer will be able to point to the bottom line of having produced a successful show that aired for more than a decade. Eugenie Ross-Leming will be able to point to Bob Singer and say "He's my husband."

Does she have the same wig? It would fit in with post-apocalyptic desert people!

The second season has been marginally more compelling than the first, but the show is still Skye and Her Not-So Amazing Friends. The best improvement is repeated appearances by Kyle MacLachlan's Calvin Zabo.

Oh no Shannon, at least skip watching London and just look up the screencaps online instead. The other might be watchable if you have a high tolerance for humiliation comedy.

It's really their reactions to the backlash that are defining, not what they said in the clip above. There's being chastened that your words have offended people and making a sensitive apology and resolution to do better (the Evans approach), and then there's being butthurt that people dared to take issue with what you said and going on to repeat the jokes/dismissively whine about people's reaction on national television (the Renner approach).

It's not as if either of them are Kit Harrington-esque shrinking violets that shy away from showing off in their other work. Hell, Evans was naked for about half of London and What's Your Number? (basically the only justification for either movie to exist at all). It's the writers and director that have kept Cap covered up, and Thor did go shirtless in that infodump wading scene in Age of Ultron.

I think Kenny's death scene was 100% about Nick wanting to kill him with his own hands, and his friends deciding giving him that closure was more important than justice or finding someone to pin the Ripper murders on. Though I just do not get how Kenny was so certain he was going to walk out of there alive. You've just murdered the mother of someone who's sent the bodies of enough failed assassins back to your family to get a bulk postal rate, you've gloated about it and pushed him to the point that he's willing to abandon his principles and commit murder, he's superhumanly strong and fast and you're not, he's armed and you're not, and his police friends who are now willing accomplices to an execution are waiting outside ready to gun your ass down in the extremely unlikely event that you walk out of that warehouse in one piece. There's overconfident and then there's so stupid it's a wonder you can remember to breathe. I'm skeptical that Theresa would ever give up any info about Nick under duress. He's the guy who showed her she wasn't insane, opened up his home to her, educated her about their heritage, believed in her as his replacement, and generally has just been the awesome big brother she never had. The fact that she was willing to put down Juliette—whose evil side she'd never previously experienced firsthand—on his behalf without hesitation tells me her loyalty is pretty much unshakeable.

Honestly, until the pool of blood started spreading I thought he might have very meticulously severed Kenny's spine but left him alive, which would have been even colder. Still, I absolutely love that they allowed Nick to go stone cold revenge killing over Kelly's death. Could she and David possibly be starting a family together? If so, everyone would be happy. Well, except Juliet fans, I guess.

Well, yeah, but who isn't? Dichen Lachmann? That figure of Crazy Horse they're still chipping out of the mountain in South Dakota?

OK, I must admit, THAT was worth losing Kelly Burkhardt over. I jumped to my feet and cheered at each of the three deaths in the finale (and yelled "Shoot her again!" when Teresa popped in for the last minute save.)

God help them if they add a character whose power is to create mint wafers...

I assumed that Ultron created his own super-high-tech wireless network for sharing his consciousness between robot bodies, and that's what the Vision burned out. It was a plot point that Jarvis couldn't handle the amount of downloading required to make a copy of the nascent consciousness that became Ultron, hence having a limited window of time to work with the scepter on-site. If Jarvis lacked the bandwidth and storage space in the middle of Tony Stark's laboratory/holodeck playroom, I'm pretty sure whatever an Eastern European banana republic uses in place of Time Warner broadband would be insufficient for Ultron to instantaneously upload himself to the World Wide Web.
