    I can't be the only idiot that started singing "THERE'S. . . . NOTHING WRONG. . . WITH ME . . . . LOVING YOU!!!!!" the first time they heard that Ed Sheeran song:

    ^^1. I've never really heard ScarJo sing (barely recall the karaoke scenes in Lost in Translation). 2. Cruise is way too damn old to play Hik'. ScarJo playing the Major? Considering a lot of her recent film roles, I can see why she'd be considered for the part.

    Last night's episode was serviceable/average. Kinda wished Carter had gone full-blown confession a little earlier. . . . especially about the vial. And geez, Agent Thompson already warned you: Also, although it was a little predictable, All in all, not a bad mini-series so far. And in two weeks, we finally get to see what's "shaking" with Agents of SHIELD. Kudos to ABC and Marvel for lining up and timing this season much, much better.

    ^^Baby oil, perhaps? Considering how the stakes were upped in this week's episode, I'm impressed they were able to mix in some amusing bits of humor, such as: Showing Howard Stark to be an equal opportunity womanizer (poor Jarvis); and Angie's crying bit (loved the WTF? reactions of the boys). Also, I had a sneaking suspicion about

    ^^Based on how the back transformation seems to be for vehicle mode, it doesn't make sense why they didn't try to make the top of the SR-71 smoother. Yeah, I get that there's some hinges there. But if they wanted to add some details to the top of the plane mode, why not mimc the real SR-71 and add some straight-lined grooves between the twin engines?

    Understandable. When I first joined the boards years ago, I had heard of and seen pictures of the legendary Flexidisplay stands in action, but no was producing them at the time. (Supposedly, they even had a circular base version before too.) So, I figured my chance to own some had already passed. Thankfully, Los picked up the license and started selling them a couple years later. I just hope they find a way to resolve that whole paint-stripping issue with the newer versions.

    I'm still a big proponent of mixing and matching the rod lengths. It really opens up your posing options:

    ^^Give the man a no-prize for the correct guess. Last week's Agent Carter episode was probably the best one of the series so far. Howling Commandos Characters showing some smarts (Jarvis avoiding his tell, Sousa using his investigation/observation skills). And

    Thanks for the additional pic! I didn't know who that one robot above Space-C was supposed to be. So, if that SR-71 is "blocky," then what the heck should we call Hasbro's movie Jet-Fire or FP's Not-Silverbolt? That would be Fitor (reference). I just don't remember him looking that badass and sporting a sword.

    One of the best pre-fight speeches of all time: ----------- And why has no one posted the TV-Macross Max vs. Milia dogfight yet (Macross NOT Robotech version)?

    Finally got a chance to comment on the hour-long special (and finally got to see the epilogue). I didn't get it the first time I watched the ep, but it suddenly hit me as I was going over the episode in my head: Headshot (the OSI sniper) actually shot It seems like everyone "failed up" during this episode. And since we're talking about failure, shouldn't the manual overrides for the ray-shields be one on top of the other (instead of side by side)? I mean if one of those mutated interns were using all of their arms to activate the manual override, wouldn't it more sense for the holes to be configured as "four holes in a square formation"? And yes. . . I gave that scene way too much thought.

    ^^Which one though? Volume 1 or Volume 2? Volume 1 just had the kewl factor going for it and lacked any meaningful or substantial plots. Volume 2 actually had some pretty solid, interconnected stories and some damn memorable moments. I really didn't get into the CGI CW series until much later. But it seems like every Clone-centric episode or arc is awesome. And despite my initial misgivings about bringing the character back, Darth Maul's appearance was actually done fairly well. As for Rebels, it's one of those "I'll watch it if there's nothing else on" shows, but I'm not actively seeking it out or DVR'ing it yet. The series just hasn't had one of those signature, jaw-dropping moments yet.

    A few other items of not mentioned above: * Phantom Limb, Professor Impossible, and Baron Underbheit have started their own rougue villian group separate from the Guild. * The girl that everyone thought was Dermott's hot older sister is actually Dermott's real mom. * Hank has been showing competence at the super-spy game, surviving the fake tests Sphinx/OSI threw at him and holding his own against an island of mutated human/animal hybrids. * Rusty's old female bodyguard (that most of us thought was Hank and Dean's biological mom) is NOT their mother. * When Dean revealed to Hank that they are clones, Hank really didn't care and thought it was kinda cool. * While in the custody of OSI, Monstroso was killed by the Investors. * It was never confirmed who triggered the bomb that killed Henchman #24.

    Astro Plan? And here I thought the "naughty" folks would get their favorite Macross scenes hacked by 80's era Anime Friend. Merry Christmas, gentlemen (and ladies)!!

    Strike A Pose! revisted...

    Mog replied to dapro's topic in Toys

    Considering she's usually sporting the FAST or Strike Packs, I tend to forget how beautiful this bird looks without any extraneous bits. . . especially the multi-shaded backplate/top of the fighter mode.

    Looks like the past season and a half has also been It was a cool moment to see, but I have a feeling it will always be a bittersweet memory for you-know-who. A few other things I enjoyed from this midseason finale: * Glad that they're showing that Hunter isn't some lovesick schlub and is up to snuff with this spy/observation stuff. * Liked it that Ward pointed out how Skye was scoping out the Hydra location: noting the exits, guards, weapons, etc. Added an extra layer to what could have been a throwaway scene and showed how much Skye has grown as an agent. * "Never turn your back on an enemy. . ."

    Surprised no one commented on this week's episode yet. Had to watch it twice just to make sure I caught all the numerous name-dropping and references. A lot of good stuff going on in this episode: * The flashbacks that reveal a ton of backstory, * Wild (almost completely random) spy-type stuff, * Interrogations galore, * A game of "Guess which Ward is the liar", * A little bit of dissention and questionable motivations, * Fitz back out in the field, and * It's [definitely] all connected. A few other observations/comments: * Really digging Kyle Maclachlan's portrayal of The Doctor. * Loved everything about the Oahu side missions. Too much amusing stuff just to get a tie formerly covered in poi. * And yeah,

    Royal-T was freakin' awesome back in the day. Among those figures not mentioned yet, I have to bring up: Geeper-Creeper, Slicks, Heat Seeker (for his innovative transformation), Flip Top, Vanguard, and Blaster.

    ^^Early in the episode, when Mockingbird (Bobbi) is briefing Coulson on the attack at the UN, she mentions that the Hydra knife dude almost killed Barton awhile back. Nothing major, but just a little name-dropping reference for the comic geeks amongst us.

    I need to see more circles and lines in that logo before I can totally agree.

    At first, I was getting a Fallen (Denzel Washington movie)-vibe from this week's episode. And one question: was there a point to the "Catgirl stealing from sleeping Bruce" scene?
  25. Mog
    Yeah, the Hydra vs. SHIELD one-upmanship that's been going on all season has been fun to see. Also, Hunter is such a fun little prick to root for. His "assessment" scene in the Quinjet killed me. Mockingbird tossed in a Barton shout-out. Heh-heh. Going back to Keith's comment re. Clairvoyant = Zola, I forgot who originally posted that theory in the Winter Soldier thread. But it was such a ridiculously awesome idea. Gotta give massive kudos to the guy who came up with it. Would have been fun to see Zola the Clairvoyant play out in Agents of SHIELD. But Garrett's work in that role (especially his shrug-it-off/ho-hum attitude about the big reveal) did soften that particular blow. Lastly, DAMMIT, we NEED to find out who brought the cat pic coffee mug into the Playground!!
