Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

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.
The Spectacular Spider-man cartoon was way better. (Still bitter.)
The Ultimate Spider-man comics were good, though.

Netflix has confirmed a Jessica Jones 2nd series, and there are rumors that it's considering a Punisher series. Makes me wonder if they're ever going to get around to Iron Fist.

Now that was the best fight sequence I've seen on TV in a good long time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Are you people watching the Captain America special? At the very end, someone's saying something about how there's "always a Captain America," and the b-roll under that is MLK, Amelia Earhart, a guy I didn't recognize, John McCain, and Harvey Milk. Now THAT is covering some bases!

I'm a little annoyed with the treatment of race in this ep of Peggy Carter. At first, I thought that it was color blind casting, because no black man would have dared to be that forward with a white woman, especially one that he didn't know.
And then there was the janitor comment, and the "colored crowd" comment (more in keeping with the time). But, there's no way that a white woman would have walked into a place like the Dunbar unescorted without garnering a lot of attention (nor could the spying white guy be unnoticed).
Further, Wilkes would have been under a microscope at Isodyne, there's no way that he would have been able to sneak anywhere.
So, it's nice that Joss wanted Peggy to be so egalitarian and color-blind, but it just wasn't realistic.
Otherwise, great ep!
p.s. - no body means he'll be back. Possibly with superpowers.

Yeah, Peggy walking into the Dunbar to no reaction reminded me of the MAD Magazine spoof of Live and Let Die:
"My assignment is to find 'Mr. Big' of Harlem. I think I'll just lean against this bar with my blond hair and blue eyes, Oxford clothes and English accent, and casually blend in so they won't notice me!"

I think a more realistic treatment of race would have slowed down the story and changed the focus of the show. I don't see it as too remarkable of Peggy to be egalitarian. From what I've seen, England didn't have near the race issues as Americans did (or do, my info is on the war years, not current). I do hope he shows up again.
And I don't want Daniel to dump his nurse for Peggy!
I miss Angie, but Anna Jarvis is a hoot! I hope she got to spoil Tony rotten.
