#after the events of the previous episode he is on the warpath man

[petty-d4bblr]

Rush smirking away to himself while he observes Eli panicking about Brody and the stasis pod is just perfection. He's such a devious asshole. Love him.

RC9GN Dream

Okay LOOK I was a big fan of RC9GN and I don’t know why this is happening now but I just had one HELL of a dream and I have to write down what happened because it was pretty wild. In my dream, I was watching Disney online and somehow got to “unaired” episodes of Randy Cunningham, like post-season 2 finale stuff. I’m going to just type everything out because I don’t want to forget any of it. So here’s what happened (divided by “episode”):

>The school is still being attacked by robots, but Randy has no idea why. He learns a new ninja move that can knock people out, accidentally uses it on Viceroy and then hides him in a janitor’s closet. Randy is like “This is bad, this is bad, this is bad” and Howard is like “I don’t see what the problem is” and Randy says “HOWARD, I just accidentally kidnapped Viceroy, McFist’s right-hand man!” and Howard is like “Yeah well McFist doesn’t know that, plus can’t you just mind whip him or something? Not to mention it gives you a chance to ask him what’s going on with all of the robots” and Randy is like “That... might actually be a good idea” and Howard says “Why thank you.” So they try to interrogate Viceroy Good Cop, Bad Cop style but aren’t able to make much progress. Viceroy eventually escapes, but Randy is able to stop him and mind whip him before he can leave the school. I don’t know what McFist’s motivations were.

>Bash Johnson is over at Randy’s house to work on a school project (reluctantly on Randy’s part, and they’re not even working on it), and they end up talking about stuff that annoys them at school and Randy mentions under his breath how it would be great if robots weren’t always attacking the school and almost killing him. And Bash is like “what was that” and Randy says “Oh, ugh, I was just saying how annoying McFist’s robots are, always attacking the school and stuff, right?”. Then Bash is like “What!? No McFist’s robots are awesome, imma go tell him you said that and then bring some here to really show you just how bruce theys are.” And then Bash runs off and Randy is like “oh no oh no oh no” and ninjas up so he can catch up to Bash while chasing his limo all the way back to McFist industries. The whole episode is a wild car chase but in the end, the ninja catches up to Bash, but he can’t convince him not to send robot’s to Randy’s house (Bash, uncaringly: “Ninja why are you trying so hard to protect some shoob?”) so Randy, desperate, knocks Bash unconscious to stop him and whips his mind (like they did with Viceroy) at the door of McFist industries. However, lots of people saw it.

>McFist is riding in a limo, going through Bash’s recent calls to try and figure out if anyone knows why the Ninja attacked him outside of McFist Industries, calling numbers and getting voicemails when someone surprisingly answers AND it’s someone he knows.

McFist: *dialed, got a voicemail*

McFist: “Hello this is Hannibal McFist I’m calling to see if you know why the ninja attacked Bash please call me back if you know anything.*

McFist: *dials, assumes he got another voicemail for the tenth or so time*

McFist: “Hello this is Hannibal McFist I-”

???: “Hannibal!?”

McFist: “Wah- Holly!? Is that you? It’s been forever! Wait a second why was Bash calling you?”

Holly: “You called my home phone, he was just over here the other day actually to work on a school project with my son.”

So McFist and Holly talk but Viceroy points out that the area around Holly’s house is actually an area with lots of ninja activity so McFist decides 1) he’ll send a bunch of robots there to lure the ninja out and 2) get Holly out of there before he does so (Viceroy: “and her son?” McFist: “Oh. Yeah sure him too I guess.”) So McFist “kidnaps” Randy’s mom but then before Randy can ninja up and save her the robots attack. In the battle that ensues Randy and Howard's houses are both severely damaged (since they live next door to each other now) so that’s an issue.

>This is a two-part episode: Randy as the ninja is trying to break into a newly fortified McFist Industries, where Holly is staying. While Holly is there she runs into Marci, and it’s revealed that they used to be friends, best friends in fact in high school! (Marci: “Why it’s been just too long! Why if I didn’t know better I’d think you were avoiding me”). The episode contains a series of flashbacks in which 1) Holly and Marci are shown to be good friends, Holly compliment’s Marcy’s dye job (to blonde) and Marci complements Holly’s (to a grayish purple) 2) Holly breaks up with a boyfriend (who looks a bit like Bash) and Marci comforts her, although Holly is stanked and has to be stopped and saved by the current ninja 3) Holly has a new boyfriend (who has purple hair), Marci is shown to have gotten together with Holly’s ex in the background, 4) Post-high school Marci starts dating McFist and Holly comes to realize that Marci has just been putting up a front for a long time, having orchestrated Holly’s break up to steal Mr. Johnson (by having her and Holly switch hair colors because Mr.Johnson had a thing for blonde women) and lots of other things she hadn’t realized sooner. They have a fight because Marci is trying to seduce McFist and Holly is mad at her for manipulating her for so long, and wants to get away from Marci and plans to tell McFist about how manipulative she really is. Marci in response causes a misunderstanding so that McFist stops talking to Holly, an event which Holly and McFist had both mostly forgotten about but Holly now remembers. Holly and Marci get into another fight, and Holly yells about how “Nothing was enough for you, first my hair, then my boyfriend, and you even stole my brother!” at which point Randy, in a vent above is hit with the realization ( “McFist is my UNCLE!?”) and falls through the vent in into the room below, stopping Marci and Holly’s fight. Marci hits an alarm ( Marci: “Oh my, why it’s the ninja who hurt my Lil’ Bashford!”) and the is ninja surrounded by robots (Ninja: “Oh boy”). Randy is caught up with fighting the robots while Holly and Marci get dragged away to a safe room or something. McFist rushes in to make sure they’re okay, and gives Holly a gun (McFist: “Here, you should hang on to this.” Holly: “H-Hannibal a gun!?”). Eventually, the Ninja breaks in and McFist and him battle (McFist has power armor or something). Randy manages to immobilize McFist in his armor but McFist knocks him down, leaving Holly with an open shot. McFist yells “Oh, Holly this is perfect! Take the shot Sis!”, to which Randy can’t help but stare wide-eyed at his mom pointing a gun at him... There’s a flashback to a previous ninja saving her, and her looking awestruck at that ninja, and a montage of memories of Randy as a kid playing ninja with Howard and him giving her a similar wide-eyed look,  and she lowers the gun because even if her brother is telling her to shoot she believes in the ninja too much to see bad in him. Marci cames from around the corner with her own gun (Marci: “Well pooh, you always were a big ninja fan weren't ya’ Holly.”), and tries to hit the Ninja, but she’s sweeping and almost hits Holly. Randy, in a panicked attempt to save his Mom accidentally kills Marci (sword to the neck, like in the preschool episode), which I distinctly recall because it was a BIG DEAL for Disney to have an on-screen death. Randy escapes with his shocked mother, and McFist wails in despair. Whatever his previous motivations to destroy the ninja were, revenge has now been added onto them.

>Randy and Howard’s families need a new, safe place to stay because McFist is on the warpath to take Holly back and also their houses got destroyed. The Ninja Nomicon tells Randy that in a nearby forest there are the remains of a secret village, a place created by the first ninja and hidden from the outside world by a ninja with the power of the eastern winds. They go there, however, the secret ninja village has since been turned into a neat little housing project with a largely “Little Norrisville” aesthetic to it (so it’s definitely the place), but you know what it’s out of the way of McFist’s reach and there’s a good deal so both families end up getting new houses there. This was a more mellow episode compared to the others, with the families moving in, working out stuff in their new homes, Randy revealing that he actually understands Japanese now (the Nomicon has little doodles around words he tries to read that are kinda right but also kinda funny and not 100% accurate translations all the time) which helps out with communicating with the Japanese landowner, and Holly catches up with her son after realizing she may have been missing something about him, and Randy and Holly talk about her being a McFist.

I know this isn’t that great but it was such a wild dream with the episodes animated in vivid detail and it just made me so nostalgic for when Randy Cunningham was still coming out and the fanbase was active. Thanks to anyone who actually read this.

KP finally finishes Gifted s2

gave up on this back when FOX was stupid and Marvel had me jaded (still does but meh). so here’s the final 3 episodes and my incoherent babble about them i guess, after not watcing the show or nearly a year and only having my previous babble session as a refresher about what’s going on

Episode 14:

 for once the “previously on dbz” segment is needed since,. yeah been almost a year since i’ve watched this...whoops

heeeey opening flashback! i forgot the format of this show...-.- oh hey not-Graydon...you know his comment about “freaks to teleport me through traffic” would’ve been funnier if he was Graydon, since Kurt is technically his sibling...as is Clarice... just saying.

oh right, Lauren was dosed with serum. well, at least it’s working right, really screwing her up. but again, Mom is the only rational and logical one.

how are sewers large enough for a tent metropolis? but oh hey, she knows about past Morlocks hm??? maybe cause some Mauraders action...hm??? or something they previously established with the Brotherhood or not-Bishop explained that i can’t remember, whatever. i’m just happy to see Blink. and the Morlocks have a network to places...like Pittsburgh? i thought they just live din NYC...ok in this story it’s just DC because that’s where we’re set ok, but still...

wait not-Graydon is making Sentinel Guy do the Mauraders plotline?? ooo...

is the Hellfire building CGI? that..looked badly shaded...and Lorna’s hair still looks stupid...though Andy’s hair does too...why do the bad guys have bad fashion sense?

i hadn’t forgotten how Mary Sue the Struckers were though...uhg...but hey don’t sweat it Mom, if Moira McTaggert’ taught us anything, you’re never the only non-mutant in the pro-mutant side; turns out you’l end up being one all along eventually.

oh good back to Blink. please don’t flirt with not-Bishop though. just...go fight Purifiers, since that was backstory for you, ok, that’s way better than flirting. wait Gabby? uh...when’d Blink get blue in her hair?

wait Cop Man, were they dead when you found them, or did you...overall though, i am really liking the atmosphere of the Purifer’s tunnel raid. the mood and tension are great, and the cinematography is doing a good job at keeping it. it’s a shame the editor feels the need to cut back to sunny Hellfire tower to break the atmosphere...but hey

oh don’t get cocky Morlock guys...and grenade, yup cocky. but again, the lighting and mood of everything in the tunnels is really good. the power effects not so much...but tv budget. and i had actually forgotten not-Bishop had a lazer eye O.o

dang Mom you are still best OC here

nooooo you shot Blink!!! baby girl nooooooo. idc about Sentinel Guy’s burst of conscious at “wait there are mutant children?” you shot best girl Blink. boo on you

Episode 15:

flashback time yay -.- but Blink! won’t make me forget you shot her since the recap ended on that...but hey tell me more about her past please, i really want to know why she doesn’t think she’s best girl. just saying “i was with the brotherhood and i didn’t like it” doesn’t cut it...and John no, you’re not allowed to give out redemption to everyone unless they are convenient to your aesthetic or philosophical interpretation, that’s why Krakoa preaches

John you don’t have time to fight not-Bishop out of grief ok. you were a ranger, you should realize that.

wait, so Reeva’s the one to blame for the council of stupid on Krakoa? that...actually makes sense, since she’s done tones of hypocritical last minute rule changing plans. weird.

really, my joke about Sentinel Guy’s heel turn was right? he honesty never realized that there were mutant children? i...wow

hey Lorna’s tiara. it makes her hair slightly less stupid looking. makes her outfit a tad stupid though...she should have more of that green popping somewhere, like her knives or a wrist band, or something.

really John just stayed there punching a wall and no cops found him? bad writing.

oooo is Dad gonna fry Cop Man?? sorry, disintegrate, i forgot what he did. and holy crap he did-sweet!

there are a lot of dutch angles in this episode...

oh Lauren don’t turn on your Mom, c’mon! why is no one thinking realistically?

hehe Cuckoos and fashion joke...although why did they get a pop of color elsewhere...or were the boots white just to point out the dirt

“do you think we can mind control our way to a mutant homeland” hm...should i just put in a cut off now for shots at Krakoa?

Mom you’re the only one with a brain! don’t sacrifice yourself because “i has no powers”

gasp! Sentinel Guy *SEES* a mutant child, now he knows for reals they exist. i’m sorry but this heel turn for him is stupid. i get the “i never saw them as *people* and now i do” but the way it’s framed is, as i’ve said “wait there are mutant CHILDREN?? O.o” and that is just bad writing

i swear, if Lorna trying to save Andy gets her killed, i will hate the Wonder Twins even more forever. but at least i agree with his “well her plan sounds stupid” when he learns the truth. they could’ve colored Lorna’s zippers the metallic green, that would’ve tied her costume together...sorry distracted

Lauren’s shield looks like bubble wrap...and she’s super pouty wth?

ok the Dad-Andy monster talk was really good...ruined by Lauren’s stupid face inserts sure, but the talk was really good.

hey back to not-Graydon and Sentinel Man. ah yes, i knew killing Cop Man would just switch Sentinel Man back in the end, that is also why his little epiphany was so annoying, because ultimately it was pointless.

aw man sappy music when the OC Family gets back together...yeah ok, but still i’ll groan a bit because uhg. but ooo Lorna comes back to Marcos too ok now it’s less groany (but still overly cheesey and neon annoying). do kinda like John on the roof...too bad the over the top music drones it out a bit.

Episode 16:

the finale! i don’t...know what to expect going into this, other than Blink pops in at the end and might be Exiles Blink?

hey the last time shows the reunion scene would’ve worked well without the over the top music. huh

oh the flashback is the 7/15 event. heh Hawks News, instead of Fox, heh. but otherwise...meh, mandatory flashback

so their plan is, use the Uber Mary Sue Wonder Twins to destroy a skyscraper. i...sure, what else can we expect from the Strucker Show (maybe Dad will sacrifice himself and do it all on his own, that’d be a neat-yet obvious-twist)

you can tell John’s depressed cause his hair isn’t floofy anymore ^^;;;

again, Mom’s the only one with thinking ahead skills.

oh, we’re getting spliced in flashbacks...yeah Dad’s gonna die.

Cuckoos! srry, still one of the best parts of any episode. and our dear Esme is starting to turn...

oh John’s going Warpath on us with his face paint (yes he’s Thunderbird, i know). the John vs Sentinel Guy thing might be a bit much, but this is an awesome fight for John...even if he is being a fool and self sacrificial.

at least it was a commercial break that broke the energy of the fight scene, and not just a scene change. also, more flashback, i’m even more convinced Dad is gonna die.

did they dye Andy’s hair so he and Lauren would look more twinny? that’s stupid...and a point i probably already made...

hm...since Bishop is from the future, are they implying that Erg is his ancestor? (though that fails to track with the timeline of DoFP IF this is the same continuity of course)

ooooooo John said it, he is Thunderbird...and i think his face paint changed between shots because that white line wasn’t there by the dumpster scene...whoops

oh don’t tell me the power of friendship is going to save the day. oh good, no, just the standby of “kill the evil cuckoos”

well the Wonder Twins are down for the count, so even more thinking Dad’s gonna die to blow up the Hellfire building...wait...you can’t control your powers when Reeva sonic screams? well Dad has no control-PERFECT!

wow there are a lot of power fights here. no wonder the affects in other episodes sucked, they spent the budget on the finale lol

hey Dad has the same plan i did. again, the writing telegraphed that was the ending...but still, i give Dad credit, he has grown as a character. the flashback doesn’t help though it just spells it out “this is best OC love him he is best ever” which...yeah, this show does that with the Struckers, we’ve covered that a millions times by now

i wonder if Dad touched himself would be disintegrate? also, shouldn’t his kids be safe, since same strain of X-gene are supposed to be immune...or does that only apply to certain power types?

not to play it down, but yup, dad exploded. if it wasn’t so thrown at you that that was how it’d end from, the start, then this moment might’ve had more impact...also the moment itself was kinda “you knew this was coming, there it’s done”

hey Esme’s on their team now, neat! i thought she’d be independent.

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey Blink’s back! but she had a collar on her coat that was reminiscent of her AoA costume, and she opened a portal to a place with burning fire...kinda like the DoFP setting/AoA, and she never addressed anyone by name, just a general “come with me”....so yeah, that was totally Exiles Blink, and not the Blink of this story. that’s really kinda awesome.

too bad we won’t be following up on that since there’s no plans for season 3. but...it was an ok way to end i guess. it closed off the story for our main people, and we all know that it’ll never end with a “and they all lived happily ever after in peace and harmony” because it’s Xmen. it opens the door for other stories to happen in the same setting...and leaves the big hole about Blink at the end, but yeah...

but now it’ll never be followed up probably because disney/marvel thinks the Xmen are the Inhumans now *shrugs* whatever, i finally finished The Gifted, i can check that off my To-Watch List

[justgotham]

Jim (Ben McKenzie) can't catch a break in the final season of Gotham. He tried to protect the innocent people who couldn't evacuate from being killed by the warring villains controlling the island, but he couldn't get any member of government outside of the city to send in him. At the end of Thursday's episode, after securing his people food and protection, he lost all of them in a giant explosion that took out their new living quarters.

It's a devastating loss for Jim, who's been working 24/7 for weeks to try and find a way to get the people out of the city, or at least to a place that is relatively safe for them to continue living their lives. Now, hundreds of innocent people are dead on his watch, and it will push him to become the version of Jim Gordon we know from the Batman comics.

However, he won't be able to do that without help. TV Guide talked to executive producer John Stephens about Jim's next steps and how he'll move on from this. Spoiler alert: His old army buddy Eduardo Dorrance (Shane West) will be coming in to help find out who is responsible for the explosion — but that's going to turn into a Bane-sized problem for Jim down the line.

What does this explosion mean for Jim going forward and what mind space will we find him in after this gigantic loss? John Stephens: It increases Jim's sense of guilt obviously, that he promised safety to all these people, and it ended with them being caught in this explosion. It sets him on the warpath to find out who actually caused it, that then leads to him unraveling the mystery of what is actually going on in No Man's Land right now. Then that leads to the introduction of the Bane character going forward, which is a big motivator for the second half of the season.

How long is it going to take for us to find out who is responsible for this? Stephens: We're gonna find out shortly. Very shortly... [We find out in] two episodes.

Is this explosion going to push the government to help in any sort of way? Are we going to see Eduardo Dorrance come in after this explosion? Stephens: Eduardo's going to come in initially as part of the team that's going to help Jim to track down who caused the explosion. Then through a series of events it's gonna involve a transformation in Eduardo. He initially comes in as an old army buddy of Jim's who's there to help him out

So far this season Gordon and Babs have been at odds and reluctantly working together. Is this explosion gonna bring them closer together or continue to push them apart? Stephens: It will continue to bring them close together, but their relationship is always gonna be a complicated and troubled one, both because of history and both because of their personalities. It does push them, keep pushing them together.

We've seen Jim bend the rules before when he's pushed into a corner. Are we going to see the return of a darker Jim Gordon or is he going keep his morals in check after this tragedy? Stephens: I think that this is a period, this season, especially with Jim where we're actually gonna see a return really to the heroic Jim that we saw much more earlier in Season 1. I think he went through this dark path in previous seasons and now [is] the Jim Gordon who we know from the comic books, the one who is very heroic.
