along with the fact that that story took place on Bowie base, named after the man who played a goblin king who steals babies (!).

Now that is a coincidence. Neat.

Could be worth looking into Misophonia. Basically it's an irrational anger response to specific noises that vary person to person. I don't know enough about it to say how it can be dealt with, but it may be something you could find a specialist for.

shrug Seemed Doctor-y enough to me, but I can see where you're coming from.

Those calves. Dang.

Hmm, maybe. She does seem to be aware of multiple dimensions (breaking the fourth wall at the end there).

Tbf, they called this out as it's own technology. The witches had song technology, and these goblins have coincidence/"string" technology. Seems in the same spirit to me.

Also, Unit wouldn't have been able to fix the timeline or save the babies with a laser.

I'm wondering the same thing! 4th wall breaking character? Interesting stuff! I wonder if she was the person that picked up the tooth in the last episode. Either way, I've got the feeling this isn't the last time we'll see her.

That was nice! Wasn't a huge fan of the musical number, but it was fine. Feel like I'm still struggling to get a good feel for 15's vibe, but it seems good overall. Ruby and her family are great. Mavity is still a thing and I wonder if "Coincidence" is going to be a theme with these two.

Also, that stinger! Some character that breaks the 4th wall? That's new. Was it her hand at the end of the last episode? I'm going over the scenes with her in my head and just have more questions XD

I pitty the poor, volunteer admins facing clueless users dealing with downtime. "You said it'd only be an hour! WHAT'S GOING ON!?!?"

I wanted to say that's not what 'anti-hero' means, but I kind of see where you're coming from. In my mind, an anti-hero does terrible stuff to achieve good goals (Deadpool being a prime example), while John McClaine does do some pretty vicious things, but is more or less just trying to survive, not because he wants to do the terrible things.

In minor defense of DH4, which I agree goes beyond the premise of the first 3, it does kind of follow that John would be better able to do some crazier things after going through the events of the first 3 movies. He still shouldn't be indestructible, but his experiences definitely qualify him as badass at that point. I also still like DH4, so I wanna justify that somewhat, hah. DH5 is just not good, though.

I mean, I don't think Moonlighting really targeted preteens and children, so that tracks.
