Oh dear, I didn't notice those.

Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.
Catching up on the latest, it's making me weepy, that also might be the wine and the pms'ing.
It amuses me that you science types are nitpicking Agents' lab practices while I'm biting my tongue at Sleepy Hollow over "she wouldn't be buried in holy ground!" and "What is up with that dress on a Quaker!"
But I still love both shows.
I was honestly expecting them to use Lola the Flying Car to go after Simmons. And I have no problem at all with handwavium all over the place.
It was such a comfort to be watching the episode on HULU, knowing there were posts waiting for me to read here, and knowing the science was going to be nitpicked. Feels like home.
Whoever invoked Hole in the World, I literally shuddered. I kind of want to cross myself even now. Joss does have us well trained.

Ha. My nitpicks are things like "that's not how you use a shovel!" and of course, the pronunciation of Romanian.
I liked a lot of things about this episode, but my favorite thing that I haven't seen mentioned is how totally misleading the ads for it were. Well done.
I didn't see any of the ads. How were they misleading? I liked how the MOTW was resolved halfway through the episode. I was so confused.
Yeah, I had the but-it's-only-the-30-minute-mark bewilderment myself.
The ads did that thing where I could recognize the scenes and lines of dialog when they came up in the episode enough to think "that is so not what I thought that meant in the ad". I always enjoy that. Specifically, I think it was heavily implied they'd be going up against someone with an invisibility superpower.
Wow, I'm surprised they didn't go full-on "SIMMONS MAY DIE" on this one. Nice use of restraint, ABC.
I definitely had a moment of "Shit is about to get REAL" when they wrapped up the case so early.

That's what I was thinking based on the preview.
