  1. What people saying Loki is coming back are ignoring (or not realizing) is that his death was an intentional completion of his character arc. There was nowhere left for his character to go. Thor even said in the last Thor movie that Loki had become ridiculously predictable in his constant betrayals and reversals and then rinse and repeats. If he stays loyal nobody will believe it and just sit there waiting for the next betrayal. If he betrays everyone (including the other characters) are bored because of course he did. There is NOWHERE for his character to go. Him staying dead is the only thing that makes sense.

  2. I liked it except that the characters' constant bitching started to grate on my nerves by the end of the episode. I'm sure that was the point, to show how awful this would be. But they really came close to me fast forwarding by the end.

     

    I doubt this will be an issue moving forward, looks like they're moving soon.

     

    The opening act was pitch perfect.

  3. There's only so many ways a modern era show can present science fiction. I think it's just a cheap out when you don't like one to say they're trying to rip off BSG. It's like saying any new show about the paranormal is trying to rip off X Files.

     

    Been hearing this for a decade now. Who would WANT to rip off BSG when they shit their pants so badly in the final season?

  4. If you liked SoA you'll like this. It'll be interesting to see how it flows now that they're past introducing everybody and their relationships with each other.

     

    Little disappointed they did the inevitable SoA cameo in the pilot. I'd have saved that for a bit. But I get it, they wanna draw us in.

  5. I've had a weird history with this show:

     

     

    American Horror Story: Murder House

     

    Loved it, top to bottom, front to back

     

    American Horror Story: Asylum

     

    Skipped it (hate the insane asylum horror sub genre)

     

    American Horror Story: Coven

     

    Liked it a lot despite its issues

     

    American Horror Story: Freak Show

     

    Skipped it (hate the horror clown subgenre)

     

    American Horror Story: Hotel

     

    Loved it, top to bottom, front to back. Had the most emotionally resonant character arc with that trans mofo)

     

    American Horror Story: Roanoke

     

    Made it about halfway through the premiere before quitting the season. What a shitty premise.

     

    American Horror Story: Cult

     

    Skipped it. (Its gonna be a long time before I can consume Trump or Trump tropes as entertainment, if I ever can)

     

    American Horror Story: Apocalypse

     

    Really excited for this

    Not at all what I said, dude.

     

    Simple version: the term has roots that have always been shakey, and I think it is interesting to note that it came up to describe women when there have always been make characters who get a pass for similar qualities.

     

    It's a term being championed by MRA fanbros, so I chose to stop using it, and I'm trying to encourage others to do the same.

     

    I think it's nightly break time again for me as friends and enemies alike are saying my points make no sense. Given that my job is writing stories, this troubling to hear.

     

    I don't need this **** ruining my entire day because never-wrongs gotta never-wrong.

    I've never heard the term used other than when referring to Rey.

    Did you miss Star Trek TNG's entire run? Wesley Crusher got that work all day, every day until they wrote him out.
