  1. It occurs to me that Boimler was very competent in No Small Parts. Boimler here is both very competent and now has no issue interacting (behaving as?) senior staff. Meanwhile, Mariner just learned that she doesn’t need to be in charge and should listen more to her friends, rather than just supporting them. Based on so much of the trailer appearing in these first two episodes, I can only assume the white uniforms happen next week. Presumably it won’t be an Envoys type situation again where Mariner is both the problem and solution.
  2. I feel like this isn’t the end of Titan Boimler (William?). Will Mariner prefer the explorer Boimler over the adventurer Boimler? It was kinda sad to seem them kick out Jet, but presumably he can’t coexist with Jet… which makes me wonder if we’ll also see Barb again.
  3. I have to commend Josh. They showed his print and I thought it looked terrible. Then they showed his drawing and I thought IT looked terrible. But together? WOW. And then his photo was able to show the front and the back of the ladies outfit which I think helped him. I liked his clothes the best and I thought they were appropriate for the challenge. Well done. I wish people would show bathing suits with long legs and rash guards- I can either bathe in sun block or cover up. At least rash guards are more available now, but for long legs, I’m pretty much stuck at REI or Amazon.
  4. It occurs to me, having now watched The Falcon and the Winter Soldier “out of order”, that I don’t know if they intended for Alexei to be lying or telling the truth about fighting Captain America in the 80s. Given that he asked Natasha if he has been mentioned, I’m assuming he was telling the truth. Though it probably wasn’t Isaiah, either, or he probably would have mentioned that to Sam.
  5. I assumed Natasha was just another alias. If you are called the same fake name all the way from childhood, I’m pretty sure that makes it a real name.
  6. If Sylvie didn’t have Frigga as a mother, is it possible she didn’t make it off Jotunheim as a baby? Or did another Asgardian grab her and adopt her instead? Loki still looks like his Frost Giant shape, if not color. Is Sylvie shape shifted? She doesn’t appear to have illusions like Loki does to reimage herself- although Baby Loki changed from a blue baby, so maybe it’s just a built-in gift Also, she knew the Loki name but says that’s not her. Has she been hanging out in enough timelines close to the Sacred Timeline that she’s done hearing about “Perfect Loki”.... or did Odin and Frigga end up with a different Loki-son?
  7. Does “our” Loki recognize “Blonde Lady Loki”? We’ve seen Loki from The Avengers to his death, and he’s always been “Dark haired Dude Loki”. So, was BLL (which btw, looks kinda like Thor), from a spot in DD’s past? Or did BLL branch at some point from DDL. If BLL has always been BLL, then that kind of blows away the premise of the sacred time line if she was around long enough from baby to now. Also, how does this fit in with the Satan stained glass?!? Would the little boy point at the window for the physique of that Loki? Or is there a red haired burly Loki as part of the crew, too?
  8. Didn’t Maladie claim that she only killed “angels”?
  9. It occurs to me that Amalia is like Horaratio, Penance, and Mary- her turn is something she already had (temporal slips) but enhanced to be future visions. The Touched like Myrtle and Harriet don’t seem to have that link. Also, the crazy doctor said that his study was non-voluntary- when did it do from “no -voluntary” to abducting people. I’m sorry for everyone on the list. People gathering Touched that we know about: Maladie, the doctor, Swan, Amalia/Zephyr, and Lavinia. Will we meet others?
  10. Magic? Check! Time Travel? Check! Steam Punk? Check! Post Apocalyptic War? Check! Body Snatcher? Check! Aliens? Check! Claudia Black? Check! Seems like someone pulled a lot of slips out of the SF jar. ETA- and I forgot to list secret names, mad scientists, and zombies
  11. I wondered how her teeth were so white. Fake teeth.
  12. I’m thinking Amalia’s future is kind of terrible for her- she chooses to sleep on a floor in a roomful of other people, presumably because it’s what’s familiar.
  13. Amalia is a Time Traveller! Presumably the body was dead in the river and she took it over when she was left behind?
  14. I’ve read all the books. The British accents threw me. I expected Russian, Finish, Chinese, Dutch among others. It wouldn’t be strange if it were a British company but it appears to be American. It just seems like an odd choice to me.
  15. I’m assuming Sam’s suit is lined with vibranium, which is why him jetting the van back didn’t crush him. And I actually expected Karli to shoot him and charge his suit up. Since we didn’t get to see that, it’s still in the Schroedinger zone. What is egregious is that his head isn’t protected. If he’s wearing flying armor with cool attached shades, why not give the poor man some head protection?!? And I wish the end credits said something like “Captain America and Bucky”. Is it still fair to call him the Winter Soldier? He’s got a new Wakandan arm, works for the good guys (Or with the good guy Sam, anyway), and has completed his amends. I did notice that the people at the site recognized him. Also, disappointed that we didn’t see fancy shield shenanigans with Sam and Bucky. Sams new toys seemed extra cool though, so that was fun.
  16. Does Lavinia pay for everything at the “orphanage” or are they self sustaining? It appears that they make some money from the laboratory. We saw the lady making the vegetables grow quickly. Do they use the large little girl to build stuff?
  17. I’m very confused by the physics of the shield. It can wedge itself into a tree, but bounce off some padding. And I get that Bucky can catch it with his metal hand (not his dominant hand- a nice little moment) but how can Sam catch it without breaking something? I’m excited to see Sam and Bucky use the shield together Also, I finally figured out who John Walker reminds me of: Hermey the Dentist
  18. I saw only one sparkle on Amalia, so I’m guessing she only got “one turn”. We see her flash-forward, and are told that’s her “turn”. But she’s a great fighter- and jumped into a stairwell where her dress just happened to act as a stopping mechanism. Is this meant to be her anticipating the future? But, the episode started with a murder that was attempted to be covered up with a different murder. I’m wondering if it’s possible that some people were already affected somehow and this whole set up was to cover up how that happened in the first place? Penance was already handy/smart/inventive. Maybe the turns are enhancements of skills people already have?
  19. My first response after this episode completed was that “nothing important happened, and it was just action sequences”, but then I realized: We saw Bucky’s relationship with Wakanda Sam connected with Karli Karli is willing to threaten innocents Zemo really does want all the serum gone Walker was most upset by getting beat by normal people Bucky believes in Sam Sharon is actively working to feed them intel Walker takes the serum Walker loses it, kills someone, and is filmed That’s a fair bit of character development. I was also amused that Walker needed a shave. I assumed that was showing him falling apart
  20. Well, we know that it’s been at least six months of storage plus whatever time it took to gather and store those supplies in a warehouse.
  21. It occurs to me that all this stuff about “What Steve would want” is silly. Just find the guy and ask him- He’s old, not dead.
  22. This felt very cinematic although there was something weird about the arrival to the city. However I really doubt that Bucky and Sam would be arguing about directions in a gunfight. After, maybe, but during seems a little silly.
  23. I’m having a hard time explaining the color symbolism to myself. The good witches were blue. Agatha is purple. And Wanda is red (even further than blue -> purple) Does that mean that the bad part of Agatha is chaos? If it were yellow mixing with blue, Wanda should have been green, not red. But green is Doctor Strange.
  24. I think Wanda is creating the show and not Agatha All Along, because Agnes asked Wanda if she wanted to redo that scene. (Which Darcy could detect as a jump but couldn’t see the missing part) Also, Darcy isn’t screaming out in pain, so either she’s just mentally flexible, wasn’t involved with the initial trauma, or too much of trauma the way Vision’s colleague was. Or was it that Wanda expanding the hex didn’t involve Agatha? Unrelated, I found the milk bottles amusing. Milk delivery is actually a thing where I live. And yes, it comes in glass bottles.
  25. I noticed Boreal referred to Mary as “Malone”, not “Dr Malone” (or even Ms Malone). He also called all women arrogant and treated her badly when he met her last week. I don’t know if this is meant to characterize him poorly, or to foreshadow him underestimating Mrs Coulter.
