    Heh, I almost forgot about S3 where he spends the whole season out of the outfit too. I was watching seasons as the DD vs Bullseye fights were decent and accidentally left it on a part that looked like Daredevil was an ENTIRELY different kind of show.

    So the Edmonton Oilers, who 3 months ago hired Connor McDavid's agent as the President of the team, has now fired Jay Woodcroft, and hired Connor McDavid's jr coach. The guy was coaching the Rangers AHL team, and was hired away, but still, he coached McDavid in junior.

    Oh and Paul Coffey, who is one of the best defensemen to ever play the game, but has coached exactly zero games, has been named assistant coach. He also holds the title of Special Advisor to the owner. (a title he held before today).

    Things are going very well in Edmonton.


    I can't wait for the press release that the oilers have hired McDavid's personal trainer as the team's head athletic therapist.

    I still feel like the show could've been streamlined quite a bit, but overall the quality was good, so given the alternatives it's a minor complaint.

    Streamlined? It felt lean af to me, and they yadda yadda yadda’d over stuff that could have taken entire seasons.

    For me, loved the finale, fantastic stuff. I have a lot of questions and I’m not sure exactly what happened, but the general gist was *chefs kiss* A++.

    The only major mis-step for me is Loki’s characterisation. I just can’t reconcile the amiable everyman Hiddleston portrayed this season with the magnificent arrogant trickster Loki is. I feel like some of his character traits could have remained to remind us that this is the same character. Loki is not An Ordinary Guy, even depowered, and I felt that was lost a little.

    Also Sylvie went absolutely nowhere, they wasted her.

    Other than that: LOVED IT

    Woodcroft got a raw deal there.

    Also whomever tried to implement the zone system there needs to let them go back to the traditional system.

    Honestly, a lot is being made of it, but when you look at the advanced metrics the oilers are about the same or better in every stat metric except a couple.

    Team shooting percentage is way down from last year, and that has nothing to do with defense. The math will average out a bit there, but the team hasn't been scoring.

    The other is high danger scoring against. That stat measures what we would consider a good scoring chance. Think guy sitting alone in the slot and getting an uncontested shot on net, not someone dumping the puck in from center and it hitting the goalie. Prior to Saturday, the Oilers number of high danger scoring chances were actually around league average, and around where they were last year. Now, the 3rd worst goalie in save percentage on high danger scoring chances in the league at at that time was around .850. Basically, saves 8.5 out of every 10 high danger shots. Stuart Skinner was second word in that metric, at about .650. Jack Campbell was worst, at about .610.

    So basically, Oilers goalies were allowing 2 more goals per every 10 shots on a good scoring chances than the next worst guy. When the team is not giving up *more* scoring chances compared to other teams, or the year before, that rests 100% on the goalies.

    The other bad metrics for the team are a power play that is slightly below average instead of historically good. That comes a bit to scoring percentage, and a bit to the fact that McDavid is still clearly playing hurt. And the penalty kill has been near the bottom of the league. That's been the one consistently bad thing during Woodcroft's time with the Oilers, their PK was always near the bottom. That I think you can put on the coach.

    But the defensive system change has not been quite the train wreck people like it out to be.

    He brought out the arrogant trickster in episode 2 when he was chasing after Brad in the main timeline, and a bit again when mind-controlling Brad back in the TVA once the system resets and the magic protection goes down. But I think his motivation this season was generally too single-focused on dealing with Kang and the multiversal timelines to bring it out any more. Arrogance kind of fades when you've seen the literal end of time and the concept of an infinite eternal war that literally mathematically could never be won.

    I feel like this was handled by about half of season one. Both demonstrating to us that this is not the post-Avengers 1 Loki we have gotten used to, and in dedicating significant screentime to his change in mood as a result of Mobius deliberately deprogramming (reprogramming?) him. He spent an indeterminate amount of time having Sif beat the magnificence right out of him.

    This is why I can also sympathize with the issues of "this Loki". Post Endgame Loki, had he somehow came back, I can buy instantly he'd be acting like this. Fresh off the Hulk-Pain-Train Loki from Avengers? The cheat to get him from there to here is kind of unsatisfying, but I'm not going to get hung up on it. I wish they found a better way of pulling it off, that's all.

    The show does speed run through it to get back to the point in Loki’s character arc they want to tell their story in a way that is fairly unsatisfying. They do take time to show him all the pivotal moments of the arc the Sacred Timeline Loki went through, sending the dark elves to kill his mother inadvertently and being so effortlessly killed by Thanos (who I’m pretty sure Avengers 1 Loki fully thought himself capable of betraying and usurping). He eventually comes to the realisation of his flaws within the Sif time loop, even spells it out himself that he uses people and how selfish he has been. They do definitely send as much time as they reasonably could trying to earn the change in his character, but it’s understandable that it feels rather rushed to leap through 10 years of character progression so quickly.

    Just watched the finale (finally).

    Agreed with others here: 10/10, no notes. Like, there's just so much that makes it perfect as an episode, a season finale and a series finale. I already loved the show so much that I was afraid they were going to fumble the landing because it would be one hell of a landing to stick, and they not only stuck it, I'm still in awe about how fucking well they stuck.

    I watched (out of habit) for a post credits tease, and there was none. Which, I should be mad at, and yet I'm just still in awe that they had the confidence to end it where it ended and leave it at that.

    The only sad thing for me is that, at least narratively, it would make no sense to see Loki any further. Yes, you can concoct reasons to have him show up, but his story is complete, there's no reason for him to show up again, and that just makes me sad because I want more.

    Also if you haven't, Not Another D&D Podcast. It has Murph and Emily from D20, and also Caldwell Tanner and Jake Hurwitz. It's fucking great. The first few episodes of the first campaign are a bit rough as everybody finds their footing, and it was Jake's first exposure to D&D. Lots of laughs though.
