I remain impressed by how dedicated this show is to giving Riri a full arc of someone who first got into the superhero game for kicks and is making some huge mistakes, but then learns the hard way how to do it right. And I'm hoping so much that John really is dead and she just has to keep living with that, however much she improves from here, because if not it'll really cheapen the whole thing. Keep insisting you have things under control long enough, and before long you're stuck in CC Baxter territory. Before getting to that, there's the shocking offscreen murder of Stuart, and word on behind the scenes is scarce at the moment, but the show did have an unusually long production period and I'm guessing part of it was some issue that kept Eric Andre from appearing past the first episode so they had to rewrite it. Otherwise, why even bring him on? But they make good use of it as a way to make clear how dangerous these guys are, so we're begging Riri even more to recognize that she should just get out of this. So, Ezekiel Stane. Well, the movie did tell us there was a little Dude on the way. I know absolutely nothing about the comics character, though I remember hearing that Whedon wanted him to team up with Loki in the first Avengers film before deciding there was no room for him. So apparently he's just a bad guy there, and my big desire is they stick to their guns keeping him someone trying to make his own life as a good person. The Supergirl writers made it work for so long with Lena Luthor until they suddenly didn't; surely a crew overseen by Ryan Coogler can keep it up for just three more episodes. And he can always try to emulate his grandfather instead. Mandelbaum, Mandelbaum, Mandelbaum!

Says something when you were as stunned as you were, Jess, even with knowing that this was going to be the episode where the shit hath hiteth the fan...eth. The warning signs were already there when John threw a bit of a fit over the hood being touched. I get the need for security with that, and he got angry quick. Shouldn’t they keep it locked up if they’re that sensitive about people getting their hands on it? Good on the crew for insisting on the apology. Love it when Natalie9000 asks if she could throatpunch John, I’d allow it. Gets a bit dicier when they learn that Stu is dead, and just when you expected more of Eric. Again, got distracted by the slang, asking, “...“Murked”?” (Spellcheck gets confused by it as I type it out, so that’s interesting.) You assess well how Riri is in that “One more game” mindset and is deluding herself on it. Good that Natalie9000 is calling her out on that, whilst indulging in the blackmail turns tabling, quite the thing. Riri wisely throws the damn towel before Natalie9000 keeps her up all night by singing I’m Henry the Eighth, I am. Natalie9000 is now in the necklace, which you express fear that Verity doesn’t get ahold of, though I’d be more concerned about Maria getting it. Their trip dredged up the trauma. You asked about that. Not sure about the synchronic nature of Natalie9000 freezing when Riri has the trauma, but possible. Sweet scene with Xavier. Good parallel to the protagonists of John advising caution, and skipping the score on their latest scheme, and the Hood is determined, as he is not throwing away his shot. Then there’s the highlight of the episode for you, and that is Live, Laugh, Love guy. Or should I call him Ezekiel Stane? Gets a laugh when they called him middle-aged, and I queried, “Isn’t he only two years older than I am?”, then he confirmed that. On the other hand, at work, years back when we had the secret shopper thing, I was included in that once and was listed as being between the ages of thirty-five and forty-five. ...I was twenty-three at the time. Then the big reveal of who his dad is. With it, the reveal that his dad ends up much like his old friend, Theodore Donald Kerabatsos, didn’t see that one coming. Rather sweet how Riri and Ezekiel commiserate/bond over their dads. We both got had a shared reaction to that one. You knew that Riri’s promise wouldn’t be kept, though not ENTIRELY her fault. Hell of a set up that the rich guy had. He was fairly unbothered. The Hood came out to play. Riri does get the piece of the hood, shame she ran into John on the way out. You had some good reactions to those scenes. And he’s left to get killed. Fail to see why he should be surprised that she went Bette Davis on his ass by just letting him die. Or alternatively, to use a recent reference, like how Mile didn’t help the Dama in The Walking Dead: Dead City. And much though she may not have liked John, she still was adamant on not hurting people, and now a man is dead because of her, and she’s starting to spiral. You do assess and say to Riri that you guess she’s really up shit creek. The Hood, likewise, is spiraling, spooky shit seems a brewing. And poor Ezekiel is now roped into this, or is going to be, presumably. Good spot to leave things on for now. Another fun reaction, Jess, thanks.

As of this first half, they have been doing well with the arc as you described it. Fairly certain John is dead. The inevitable payoff to Riri’s insistence that she had it all under control. Then again, maybe he lived, he’ll go to prison, and Riri can send him a fruitcake every Christmas. But more probably he is pining for the fjords. Sort of stinks that Eric only got the small part of Stu given the likely production troubles cutting his part short. Though it does have good drama, and raises tension, so it kind of works, whilst still stinking a bit. If we see Julianne Moore as Ezekiel’s mom, I’m cackling. Of course, we were both going to reference that film. Only recently heard about the plan for Ezekiel being in The Avengers. Hear you on hoping they keep up the good work with the keeping him someone trying to make his own life as a good person. Just hope he doesn’t emulate his grandpa by picking the wrong week to quit practically every known substance. Or be stupid enough to try and fight Gary Cooper all because you think he blocked you being sheriff, and you think that Katy Jurado still carries a torch for him. Or yeah, the reference you had works too. Makes a man think that Riri and Ezekiel could catch the rerelease of the one movie next year, though they’d likely get stuck sitting next to Valentina who’d be yelling, “No, I can’t do this anymore. I can’t. It’s too long. Quit telling your stupid story about the stupid desert and just DIE already! DIE!!” Be a fun time, yes?

I've always figured it was "merc-ed," like killed by a mercenary. Always love when people bring up later Walking Dead characters, and I just do my impression of Homer hearing about Langdon Alger.
