    It was the Aether, just contained in a smaller version of the thing Jane found.

    gotcha. That was my first thought (given the coloring) but then I wasn't completely sure, so...


    thanks!

    Should do that

    yes.

    yes you should.

    it's all on Netflix, get to it.

    season eight isn't actually on Netflix yet for some awful reason, considering the DVDs have been released and that's usually the timetable for that sort of stuff, I thought

    also Netflix unfortunately has the episodes of season one and two in their broadcast order instead of their intended order, which makes certain events in season two chronologically inconsistent

    which matter basically not at all but drives me nuuuuts

    Actually, something in Thor I was unclear on
    how did they recover the Aether anyway?
    seemed like the bulk of it was still with Malekith

    I like the early seasons of Always Sunny but then they started focusing more and more on awkward humor and I had to stop watching.

    Seasons 2, 3, and about half of 4 are the absolutely incredible eps I feel I can recommend that will work without much investment (and also were mostly written by the the main trio along with David Hornsby)

    I dunno if I agree it turns to awkward humor, so much as it starts focusing in on how downright weird and eccentric they each are

    I think it's still really excellent stuff, but it's more of an acquired taste, I guess. I took me a bit to really dig it again.

    I am glad that image exists. I haven't seen the first one, but I am completely okay with it just because of that still.

    It just makes me happy.

    keep in mind that's probably a toy ad prop that'll be in a target action figure aisle and not representative of the movie

    Here's the thing

    My brain filters out bad things almost to a fault

    In my head

    Transformers 2 is one 10 minute fight scene in a forest and it was awesome

    I never learn my lesson

    Well to be fair I liked The Rock, Bad Boys 2 and Pain and Gain. I didn't find The Island to be horrible. That's the best thing I can say about Bay. Oh and I guess he did give us one of the best movie blooper reels.

    thanks!

    I really, really like the
    consolidation of items of cosmic power into Infinity Gems, and the way they're going about introducing them.

    It simplifies things, and is really, really effective at getting across
    how powerful they all are in their own right so that the legwork is pretty much done by the time we get to Guardians.

    those were "Non-Aligned Indigenous Lifefoms", or "NAILs"

    basically they were neutrals that had left the planet during the war and came back when it ended, angry at autobot and decepticon alike

    the clinical terminology came from Prowl, who's a complete and utter bastard of an autobot
