I wondered that myself. I'm trying not to think about it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ada/Ophelia gave a really quick hand-wavy line about how this purified terregen wasn't dangerous to people the way the natural stuff was.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I have watched all of Iron Fist. It wasn't quite as bad as I had been led to believe.

True, all of the male characters were douches, but there was plenty of Clare, and Colleen and Madam Gao. and I wanted most of Joy's wardrobe.

Of course, I kept wondering what ita would have said about the fight scenes.

OMG GOTG2. SO GREAT.

This is the first MCU sequel I've enjoyed more than the original. I want to see it so many more times.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The saddest thing about my broken leg is how I still haven't seen GOTG2.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Same thing about my back. I can't sit up at all. Don't know if I'll be able to do it on Saturday after the surgery either.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I haven't seen it yet, either, and I'm about to head into tech so it'll probably be a couple of weeks for me.

I have watched all of Iron Fist. It wasn't quite as bad as I had been led to believe.

I've been wondering if I'd need to see that for the upcoming all-play series.

But people really need to stop making Ben Browder act with an accent.

I like to think they specifically asked him "Do the Crichton-is-terrible-at-Peacekeeper-accent voice" on the assumption that at least 5 people would get the shout-out and think it was hilarious.

Favorite bits (non-spoilery)
1. Drax pointing and laughing
2. Groot hates hats
3. Scotch tape

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.

Tore through the last 17 episodes of SHIELD over the last two weeks. While the early episodes were kind of dull (which is why I had most of the season still on my DVR) they really hit their stride after that. I'm also impressed with the actress who plays Aida and her ability to convey the differences in the four different versions of the character throughout the season. (I was impressed when she was just playing the LMD version and getting across "this is a robot mimicking human emotional responses rather than actually experiencing them" and then they added Agnes, Madame Hydra and Ophelia.)

One of the other scenes that sticks with me is Jemma and Daisy realizing the other one is real during the LMD attack and the two of them just clutching each other for dear life. All the actors have grown over the last four seasons but I think Chloe Bennett has probably gone through the most-noticeable amount.

Man, I really hope they can Looking Glass Tripp back into the real world.
