I saw a few episodes of Iron Fist when I was getting a mani/pedi, and MAN was Danny Rand the epitome of a mediocre whiny white guy. Even with the fist.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

It helped that pretty much everyone thinks Danny Rand is an idiot.
I liked that Luke Cage explicitly called him on his privilege. And Luke and Jessica Jones' repeated "can you believe this guy" looks and eye-rolls have been a delight. And Sigourney Weaver has owned every scene she's in so far (I'm about 2/3s of the way through).

I just got an email from Fandango telling me that Thor: Ragnarok tickets are on sale now. I can't plan that far ahead! I'm not even dressed for therapy and I have to leave in 15 minutes!
Still, I CANNOT WAIT to see this movie. It looks like a goddamn DELIGHT.

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

These were the best parts of the show, by far. I wasn't impressed with the overall story.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Just bought my Thor ticket.

I have a problem with that, and it's based SOLELY on the fact that I refuse to accept that November is so close. I reject the change of seasons!
But I accept Thor: Ragnarok. It's a conundrum.

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.
So the DVR is set for The Gifted tonight. Not sure how much Amy Acker we'll get (and the alt-Universe where the X-MEN have disappeared is a bit odd.) I am wondering why, if they decided to go alt-Universe they decided to replace Havok with a new character (Eclipse.)

I just watched the first episode of The Inhumans. I found it sort of meh.

Inhumans was so terribly awkward and bad I almost want to keep watching to see where the hell the writers think this story is going.

It looks SO BAD.
