I wish that they'd give Charlie more to do than be Olivia's errand boy. She acts like his boss, but I don't think that she is.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Everyone's growing into their roles nicely: Olivia's more assertive and action-hero-y, Peter gets more to do than be speaker to Walter, Charlie isn't defaulting to Scully mode. Enjoying it immensely.
And they're developing Astrid as well. I loved her little "I know." There are other people who know what epistaxis is, Peter!
I don't know what to think about "Oh John Scott was actually a good guy." That's a very J.J. Abrams thing to do, and I don't know whether it fits with what we saw before.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had hoped to see Mickey there.

Yeah, I was hoping, too. Still, looks like a kick ass episode.

How long did Chloe not know Clark had powers? After she had her memories messed with and partially restored, how long did it take for her to find out again about his special talents?

All is well that ends in pizza.
IIRC, three, maybe 4 eps, ita.

ita, I believe that was originally planned but the actor then withdrew because of other commitments . Same goes for Freema, incidentally.
What I want to know is: is Peter Capaldi playing Malcolm Tucker? 'Cos that would up the swearword count to significantly post-watershed .
