You guys rock. I'm going with the X/X-2 remaster.

I tried one Final Fantasy game and enjoyed it but I didn't like the social element of it. Are they all MMORPGs like that, or is there a game you'd recommend for just a good single player story?

I've never bought into Wanda and Vision's relationship because the entire thing happened off-screen, for no apparent reason except that they're together in the comics. The attempts at pathos fell flat for me because none of it's been earned.

I think it hit me just because I found Wanda's pain relatable. Difficult childhood and then lost her brother the only family she had...then she finds something miraculous in her relationship with Vision only for it to be ripped from her in the blink of an eye...it made me think about how some of the amazing things in my life have been painfully fleeting and there's just no going back to recapture it sometimes.

Yeah, it was a perfectly fine ending. I still definitely lost a lot of interest when it moved away from tv pastiche, but the finale was easily the best of the plot episodes.

This is where I am too. I enjoyed the intrigue of the early episodes then everything was flat until the finale. The finale is the first time since Endgame that I connected with Wanda on an emotional level. I love cool sci-fi stuff and surprises/reveals but it's meaningless without that emotional punch-- I'm coming out of the show feeling good about it because the finale finally delivered that.

Wanda was super relatable and heart-wrenching in the films to the point I teared up at Vision's death so a lot of WV was disappointing for me as I felt disconnected from it all, until the end.

man, I just don't know if I can stomach another "billionaire Bruce Wayne decides cosplaying and beating up the mentally ill and poor will save his city more than his huge amount of wealth". It looks good, though. I'm here for Paul Dano chewing up the scenery like he always does, but like I said... "billionaire in a kevlar suit is our only hope" is getting a little bit old at this point.

Definitely intrigued by Suicide Squad and The Flash movie, though. I don't know about Michael Keaton's Batman being the one to give Barry Allen his new and improved suit, but that's just because it gives me Spider-Man/Iron Man vibes from over in the MCU.

It seems the movie may be embracing your point and making it part of the story.

Manic Pixie Dream Girl.
(EDIT: Er, file that under 'annoying'.)

Great movie seemingly in response to that called Ruby Sparks. A brooding young writer writes about his dream girl, who comes to life and is controlled by every word he writes. Explores the male ego and how we put people into boxes rather than letting them be their unique selves. There's a scene that years later still raises goosebumps every time I think about it. Creepy at times but worthwhile, I'm a better friend/boyfriend for having seen it.

I've seen 5-6 full episodes of Tosh.0 and he didn't make me laugh once! And I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to comedy...I like The New Girl.

I just don't know what people see in that show. Psych on the other hand, is always good fun.

I recommend Party Down as the comedy. I don't think a lot of people saw it so it may not be re-watch, technically. The show was very witty and the characters easy to relate to, I remember laughing out loud from every episode. There was only something like 20 episodes so you could move on to something new before too long. I've never heard of someone watching the show and not enjoying it immensely. Just a thought.

edit- sorry, you closed it while I was putting it together. Up to you of course

This sounds amazing. I just finished a comparative religion course and I'm fascinated with Hinduism and Buddhism, and it seems to share some of their themes. I'm going to download and begin the Eye of the World iBook...thanks for this!
