Inverted Offensive Battle: Acupuncture Attacks Convert To 3D Penetration Tactics Taking Advantage of Deep Battle Opportunities

I liked Konane.
I thought Mona's relationship was super unhealthy and I'd hoped he was just using her to escape and go home.

I was hoping the same thing, and would have liked him so much more if it had gone down that way. But holy poo poo the way that they handled it sucked, and yeah, was loving gross.

This episode was really great except for Mona.

Her whole Beauty & the Beast tragic love, doesn't work for me.

The way they handled that was pretty great. “I’m not your ex, I just look like her for really dumb reasons.” / “Okay. Cool. You wanna go do fun platonic history poo poo?” / “Sure.”

Agreed, I would hate to have Nate pining about his lost love for seasons to come. I actually don’t mind Nate/Zari, they’re two hot, single people sharing a destiny and spending time together (even having to actually pretend to be a couple) where they discover likable features about each other and start seeing each other with different eyes. It’s how relationships start, I think it was as organic as a show about time traveling unicorn hunters could tell a romance plot.



Also agree on the statement last page that Zari’s faith is handled well. It’s her personal faith, she keeps it to herself and it’s just a fragment of her identity, along with everything else. I love that she doesn’t have to be a parody or anything, and the religion just is a thing that comes up naturally in lines like the one about a hindi and a muslim getting a christian wedding.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Yeah, I'm not at all bothered by Nate/Zari or consider it terribly "rushed." They're pretty friends who been working and living side by side for years and poo poo happens. Despite what happens on TV most relationships don't require a long telegraphed courtship or some hurdle to pass over. They're hot, they get along, they're both single at the moment, oh hey why not?

Mona/Konane was definitely weird though and I'm glad we seem to have agreed to move past it this episode. Not that I'm terribly feeling Mona and her bad werewolf on the team, but I'm open to it without the odd "Is that bestiality? Wait... am I being a bigot? Wait... he was a god so is she the 'lesser' being? Wait... what?" Konane aspect.

I presume he just waltzed in since the time couriers seem to let you travel anywhere or anytime you want unless the plot says they can't.

Natari isn’t bad, but I think Mona should have gone with Zathan instead.

While it’s hard to top the Bollywood number with Zari in a Sari, it was fun to watch Sara rescue Ava from IKEA.

His name was Mikey, and he also played Mikey the construction worker, which can only mean that this takes place in the "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" universe, and since he was also a construction worker on 30 Rock, it takes place in that universe too.

Me too, I was like: Hey, is that Mikey the construction worker (from unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) as Mikey the construction worker?

So I had to check on IMDB, but of course he was uncredited on Legends...

Then I noticed the actor is also named Mike

...and he also played in a movie called "construction", a character named....

...Mike.

Is this some kind of running joke? casting Mike Carlsen as construction workers named Mike?

I like how not only did Sarah not care Nora was randomly on the ship for no goddamn reason but immediately ordered her to help rescue her girlfriend.

Also that the drama over Nora and Nate lasted for exactly 10 seconds after his bro broke the news.

And nice that Ray immediately forgave Nate for punching him too.

Also, I really, really, really want to read Mick's love note. I would even be willing to say the word bulge out loud. I still think they should write his books and sell them along with Beebo merchandise.
