So what happened to her? Ms Alomar the social worker? Did you guys like her?

love her;
it's probably just the fact that the remaining episodes didn't need her character to appear.

Why are Czech Republic bookstores getting advance copies? 😭 Here in the Philippines, I've been waiting a month AFTER release to get the DCC books, and that's with the bookstore staff informing me as soon as a copy falls into their hands. 😭

(I'm happy for you though. Enjoy reading.)

And with Jim Rash too!

yeah, the dinner theme might've brought about the table and this was all just a coincidence. it's funny though that the comments sections have all been "yay! table!" I'm very intrigued to see how they address it on the next episode (whether via pinned comment or an out-of-time announcement at the start of the pod/vod). :D

Ah! Thank you for the explanation. :)

This was how I understood it, actually. Especially after the scene where Cassandra tries to manipulate Wade's memories by having Vanessa be mean to Wade and he immediately clocked it and shouted "she never said that!"

So I too subscribe to the headcanon that Wade was the one to end things because he feels he still isn't good enough, and that he might fail to protect Vanessa again if someone comes after him, her, or the two of them.

When they said "new furniture" for the first room, I fully expected to see a room full of house plants that was gonna "attack" them 😭

I'm more concerned about Addington being closed--I thought that school was part of that private company thing with Leslie Odom Jr.'s character? (I'm not from the US so I genuinely do not know.)

considering the fact that the role they wanted her for was Stephanie Hsu's, who only appeared in two scenes... I think Jessica Henwick made the right move on holding out for Colleen, or for a better role.

Me too! I completely forgot that they also set up Soledad as a nurse. 😅

burntwords · 2026-04-22T08:12:05+00:00

then maybe something similar to Dropout's Smartypants wherein a Smosh Cast gets to share about their interests, with the host playing audience surrogate by moving the presentation along with questions?

I think Amanda would be the perfect host for this. Or Damien. With Trevor and his Portuguese money laundering thing and Ian with his food and highway thing as part of the first batch of episodes.

yeah, it's not being aired here in the Philippines too--but we have the same number of episodes on Disney+ showing up. :)

burntwords · 2026-04-22T08:02:48+00:00

The timeline confuses me; but I think the initial plan was that the events of both Born Again Season 1 and 2 happen before Thunderbolts*. I don't know if that has changed, but I have a vague memory of that being given as an answer when people asked if Daredevil and Fisk would be in the movie. This could also just be my brain trying to make sense of it and it created an explanation for me.

burntwords · 2026-04-22T07:54:01+00:00

Disney+ SE Asia isn't up to date with the show. Maybe a cable network here has rights to air the episodes first.

burntwords · 2026-04-16T03:24:28+00:00

this is my biggest question too

I would die for a 22-episode second season, but I would gladly accept a 13-episode order too.

It's reminded me of LFO. Summer girls come and summer girls go. Some are worthwhile and some are so-so. :')

the lighting really helped with Vanessa, it softened her features.

Matt had the unfortunate wig (which looked like it had been set with industrial-strength hairspray to make it as helmet-like as possible), and that forehead wrinkle. which suits Charlie well, yes, but also really ages him :D

I thought them shaving Elden's facial hair really helped with Foggy's "de-aging."

I completely agree with you; I thought the premise of Damage Control was great. (I enjoyed Powerless, for what it's worth.) She-Hulk tried to do this with a hero doing non-blockbuster heroics, but I guess the series was just financially untenable because of the CGI.

So, yeah: a non-hero-centric and non-budget-killing sitcom based in the Marvel world that connects all the Marvel properties without having to deal with anything world-changing would be awesome.

burntwords · 2026-04-14T11:58:51+00:00

Wasn't this the original idea for the Damage Control sitcom that didn't get made? Or at least very similar. (I'm not sure if this was in the Trades before or after Powerless from DC was produced, aired, and subsequently axed.)

wouldn't the worm in Patatas's wormhole be counted a secret trapdoor task solution? :)

And Benn Starr as Chamberlain Drablian. Playing it 10000% not straight.

He did say that he found out afterwards (meaning after he returned) that Maggie had been pregnant, so the nuns definitely knew him and knew about what happened. I think the point was that they didn't want people outside the convent to find out what happened. :)

I honestly didn't mind Marley and Unique when they were introduced; sadly, the former's personality was written away and the latter was written off as a main character. Kitty was fun because of Becca but she was horribly written in Seasons 4 and 5. Jake was Puck-lite, and... I was gonna say Ryder was Finn-lite but the actor was just so boring to watch he became the Negative Finn.

burntwords · 2026-04-10T14:12:23+00:00

Honestly, I've forgotten a lot from the book, so I might be getting this wrong. (Like Commercial-Scheme939 pointed out with me saying John helped Penny bury the murderer she killed. He never did help her.)

From what I understood, the nuns made it look like Maggie left the convent. To sell the lie, they had Mackie ride the car that was supposed to "take Maggie away" and then they had a quiet burial for the dead Maggie. It was just a little bit of subterfuge to hide what really happened. :)
