The current band that I'm not watching (I'm lying down behind a couch between me and the stage) I would describe as growling and shouting over ominous - JD Apr 23, 16:25
I haven't heard glowing reviews of Allegiant, but for many of the point to point routes the run, they are the only ones on the route - ty97 Apr 23, 16:10 1

- "What is this, the WWE?" -- nm - Max Apr 23, 16:36
- Spoiler - Spawn Apr 23, 15:41
- Yes, I read a similar version of this the other day. Marvel's simply out of their collective mind on this nonsense. - Da5id Apr 23, 15:34 10
  - Meanwhile, SHIELD is the masterclass in how do this kind of alt-universe stuff without being insulting or wrecking your characters - Reagen Apr 23, 15:37 9

        While it's similar. They're in a computer simulation, not actual reality (for the show). This storyline is the actual reality -- nm - Remlik Apr 23, 16:00 4

      - right? now how do you get the character back to who we all love? that's the story. -- nm - Remlik Apr 23, 16:02 1

      - When there are so many legitimate projectable stars, you can't pray like on him. - Will Hunting Apr 23, 15:21

  - "EAT YOUR PIZZA AND FRIED!" "I want fruit cup!" "EAT YOUR PIZZA AND FRIES!!!" -- nm - Beaker Apr 23, 14:38 1
