That's funny, Andi, I hadn't thought of that before, but it's pretty perfect for the scene. The Highwayman and the Charge of the Light Brigade were two of my favorite poems for the way the meter matched the action.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Hey, I was thinking about The Highwayman as well. I remembered studying that poem in college (plus, of course, there's the Lorena McKennitt song version.)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Re: SHIELD, Tim said something like, "I wonder if we'll find out how many copies of the 'twins' there are." And I thought he meant the duplicating redhead in the finale, but he meant Patton Oswalt.
And then I realized there needs to be fanfic of the Patton Oswalt guys dating the duplicate redheads. YES.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

WANT.
So, Daredevil. I'm enjoying everything about it except the actor who plays Foggy is just so terrible. The bottle ep with all the flashbacks where he finds everything out would have been gutting if I'd believed in Foggy as a character, but the actor is so wooden and robotic, it was just only ok.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Foggy was definitely my least favorite, though he grew on me a bit. However, the entire series needed twice as much Rosario Dawson.

Five times as much, seriously. ALL THE ROSARIO.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
This weekend I finished Daredevil, finally saw Age of Ultron, and just now caught up on AoS. I can finally internet!
When did Vincent D'Onofrio turn into Brando?
And I thought he meant the duplicating redhead in the finale, but he meant Patton Oswalt.
I don't ever want an explanation for Patton Oswalt. The complete lack of explanation is everything I hoped for.
I had to stop to make sure I heard Mac right when he called the duplicating woman a "ginger ninja". I dubbed a friend of mine "The Ginger Ninja" a few months ago. They stole my line!
Who wants to try some fish oil to see if they get superpowers?
I love the effect (and the sound!) of the gloopy rock blob but...WHAT?!

I take fish oil every day and haven't manifested a single superpower yet. I call shenanigans.

On the plus side, you also haven't turned into a briquet.
