Okay, so, was that supposed to be the Cosmic Cube at the end of Thor?

[mouser.livejournal.com]

Looks like.

[zeekar.livejournal.com]

Yes.

not ONLY was it the cosmic cube... but the Infinity Gauntlet and the Eye of Agamatto make appearences as well.

DW: Better this week than the season opener, but still with too many plot holes to enjoy fully. Seriously, Doctor, the TARDIS has (or had, in the past) an infirmary; you couldn't bring equipment from it to the flight deck so Amy didn't have to do CPR? (I know, this is just Moffatt choosing drama over pragmatism again, as usual?) Even a defibrillator, such as are found in restaurants everywhere in the 21st Century, would do.

Looking forward to next week, though. Written by Neil Gaimaan!

Yeah, I didn't buy it. "Oh no, the TARDIS is taking off for parts unknown! What to do? I know . . abandon ship!"

Abandon ship? Really?

It's a frickin' time machine. How about, stay on it, see where it winds up, maybe spend a couple weeks figuring things out and then come back to the instant you left? The usual worry about mucking up timelines wouldn't seem to apply if he's Elsewhen.

Of course, I suppose that would require the Doctor being able to reliably land where he wants to.

And yeah, it can be hard to do dramatic tension with a time machine, but usually those choices for "drama over pragmatism" don't knock me right out of the disbelief suspension.

The pirate captain did not seem to notice that The Doctor was wearing a clock on his wrist. A ship's clock would have been very valueable to a 1699 ocean crossing ship.
Now why a Time Lord of Gallifrey would be wearing a competorary Earth wristwatch, I would not know.

[redaxe.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's something else, disguised. Yeah, that's it; he and the Companions were roleplaying Dick Tracy! [g,d,rvvvvf]

Thor was flippin' awesome all-around. Not sure if it kicks Iron Man out for my favorite Marvel movie, but it definitely has my favorite Stan Lee cameo.

[zeekar.livejournal.com]

It's definitely vying with Iron Man I, but I think Tony still wins...

[wingus.livejournal.com]

Yeah. If we could've gotten more scenes of Thor trying to adjust to society, or even Sif and the Warriors Three doing the same, I think that would've pushed it over Iron Man for me.

[zeekar.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I kind of liked the "Humans. I got this." angle. "It's not like Earth, where you can just summon some lightning and they call you a god!" Sure, he wasn't used to being mortal, but it makes sense that he knew his way around mortals.

[wingus.livejournal.com]

Well, he sort of got it. I kinda wanted more incidents like the diner and the petshop.

[terriwells.livejournal.com]

I'm willing to bet there *were* more, but they just ended up on the cutting room floor.

[terriwells.livejournal.com]

Argh, I saw the movie and didn't spot the cameo! Where does it happen?

[wingus.livejournal.com]

Stan was the guy driving the truck that got the bed ripped off of it trying to haul the hammer out of the ground.

[terriwells.livejournal.com]

Oh my yes! That was an awesome cameo, and a hysterical scene! "Did it work?" Andy and I both laughed. Delightful.

[rrcgoose.livejournal.com]

Just what the hell is up with the 'Eye-patch Lady'? I'm sure it will prove an important plot point later on...

Oh, and the fact that the TARDIS can't decide if Amy's pregnant or not. Schrodinger's baby?

Steve-

[smparadox.livejournal.com]

I suspect whether or not Amy got pregnant will turn out to depend on some event that is not yet nailed down - possibly whether she interferes in The Doctor's death? She is still under a post-hypnotic suggestion from The Silence to "tell him what he must never know" after all...

...Either that, or the child is actually human-Silence hybrid, and he disappears from the scanner's memory in-between scans...

I just saw Marvel's Thor today and it was excellent. :) I'm glad that they took the material at face value and it was a super guy with a magic hammer instead of some hollywood reimagining that a director thought would be more cerebral or some other such nonsense.

I look forward now to Captain America and The Avengers.
