It does raise the question of why one of the ship’s most senior officers is still bunking with Tilly. This episode was the first written by Michelle Paradise. They liked the work so much she was asked to co-write the two-part finale when she originally was not scheduled to. And she’s going to be in charge for S3.

Goodness, that was a sad one. I figured someone wasn't going to make it out, but I figured they'd find a way to save Airiam and have Nhan sacrifice herself. I'm probably going to have to watch that one again.

I enjoy a good natural disaster episode. I'm not sure if this was a good one or not. I did really enjoy the parts that didn't involve Bloom. Although Max clearly hasn't read Five Days at Memorial if New Amsterdam doesn't have a better disaster plan. I don't like the "will they/won't they" thing, but I hate the wife, so I'm...kinda okay with it? While I have never mounted an anemometer to the roof of my hospital, the way Iggy reacted to the storm is basically how I would have. I always come prepped to spend the night.

But then, wouldn't everything?

And The Merger becomes official on 3/20 at 12:02 AM. I imagine we'll hear about plans for the FF and X-men at 12:03AM.

There's actually an even earlier story that they were drawing from. When she first got her powers, she went through a period where and Ms. Marvel were separate. Carol would black out and transform into Ms. Marvel, and had no idea why.

Speaking of, the scene of Carol changing her uniform to the colors of Monica's Air Force T-shirt because "We're on the same team" warmed my cold, dead heart. And for that matter, her costume was fantastic. She usually has a sash in the comics, but I'm glad they lost it. Apparently Brie was worried they were going to use her old cheesecake Warbird costume instead. The best special effect may have been Goose horking up the Tesseract. My husband stated that they perfectly captured the mechanics of a kitty retching.

Yeah, I guess Langone would be a fair match. I don't know, the show has seemed to act like Manhattan is the whole of NYC, although I guess they did introduce Sheepshead Bay as some exotic, far-flung locale.

Boy, did that one end up packing an emotional wallop. That's one of the things that never ceases to amaze me. The show is filled with fanservice, but it never actually feels gratuitous.

Assuming Hill is the same age as Cobie Smulders, she would have been 13 in 1995. And I haven't watched AoS in years,but I don't think May joined SHIELD until a bit later. I wouldn't have minded Fury getting a phone call from Director Carter, though. I guess for me, I would take the quality over quantity. Maria, Monica, and Mar-Vell were all so great. And they pulled off the tricky challenge of determinedly passing the Bechdel Test without drawing attention to the fact that they were attempting to do so.

I'm honestly conflicted about where I would rank this in terms of the overall MCU movies, but I do think it's one of the better origin stories.

Haven't done one of these for a long time. Our major introduction was to Mama-ji, the Hindu goddess Kali. The Hindu pantheon is a bit more complicated than the majority of the European ones, so various schools interpret her in slightly different ways. She is generally viewed as a destroyer, but despite that, she is often interpreted as the mother of the universe, and therefore more of a protector.

Higher, further, faster.

I mean, their tech is arrows and firearms; that's not Extremis armor or vibranium claws in my mind. Gamora is swords and space guns.

Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Gamora. Punisher, if we extend to TV.

Yon-Rogg is a character from the earliest days of Captain Marvel, and was an an antagonist for both Mar-Vell and Carol in her Ms. Marvel days. He was also indirectly responsible for Carol gaining her powers.

This is going to be as polarizing as all of Araki's work, but I REALLY liked it. And it does definitely seem like an update of Nowhere, not the least of which is a small cameo by James Duval, who I suspect is playing the same character. And Avon Jorgia and Tyler Posey have excellent chemistry.

2012, with Kelly Sue DeConnick and Dexter Soy's Captain Marvel series. Which heavily influenced the plot of the movie, which lead to them getting a special shout-out in the credits. I'm sure a large part of the push was a cynical attempt to give her a higher profile, given that they were at the time forbidden from using their other high name recognition female characters (I would argue the highest would be Storm) in the MCU. But DeConnick and Soy took the mandate and made it into an excellent story, the initial issue being in large part about her reluctance to start calling herself Captain Marvel, because she felt it was Mar-Vell's name. Steve convinces her to think about it, but the memory of her own person hero, a female test pilot named Helen Cobb, that makes her decide to do it.

I definitely noticed the change of tone, and parts of it did seem quite pedestrian, but I don't quite get the hate that all the critics seem to be feeling. I knew the dreamy tone the first season had wouldn't be maintained, but even with weaker material, the actors sold it.

I think it needed a female vocalist. I personally liked the use of "Just a Girl," but they could have switched it with "Celebrity Skin." Although since the movie had to be set in 1995, that one is slightly anachronistic.

It's been so long since I've seen Mallrats, I wasn't sure if those were his lines or not. It really was perfect.

The Sword and Scale guy finally said something gross enough to get dropped from Wondery. Good riddance.

I got massively teary at the all-Stan logo and dedication. I thought they might save it for Endgame, and I'm glad they didn't. And the cameo, both for Carol looking at him, knowing she could trust him, and smiling, plus the fact that he could very well have been playing himself. I don't know what the fanboys were complaining about with Brie Larson. She was perfect. I hope that she and Sam Jackson are friends in real life, because that was either an Oscar-worthy performance from both of them, or they REALLY like working together. I could have squealed with delight when they revealed that Dr. Lawson, not Yan-Rogg, was actually Mar-Vell. This probably went over most of the audiences heads, but in Kelly-Sue DeConnick's revamp, they changed the origin story so that Carol didn't get her powers directly from Mar-Vell, because why make her origin dependent on a man. This way, they managed to pay homage to the original story AND the new one simultaneously. "I have nothing to prove to you."

Seriously. I had always seen it--and agreed with some other comments that Mount looks like the midway point between Hunter and Bruce Greenwood--but seeing them in the same episode, if not side-by-side, really drove home how strong the resemblance is.
