  1. Hooray for Russian Doll! I was starting to think the show was gonna just fade into that abyss of fantastic but only one season programs. Thanks for the news Heather! Also I loved the article on bound. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! However you celebrate! (It’s okay if part of you think it’s a semi capitalist lie but still want chocolate. That’s me too right now.)

  5. i am indeed caught up on Hawkeye and i would love for them to tackle the ‘kate kind of works with/kind of interns for dysfunctional PI jessica jones’ arc from the kelly thompson run! i think their dynamic (esp if they use the existing krysten ritter jess) would be funny and delightful

    also re: america chavez, can’t believe i’ve adopted a new child! i care So Little about stephen strange i can’t even put words to it but between baby america and wanda, i might have to watch this

    • YES! I would *love* that. Just imagine how baffled Jessica would be CONSTANTLY by Kate.

      Also this is exactly what I have been saying about Dr. Strange all day. Stacy keeps being like “It looks like they’re making Wanda the villain” and I keep being like “Don’t care, still rooting for her!”

  9. I’m totally here for my boy Stephen Strange. He gets so much hate online and yet he’s the one who suffered the most in order to save the universe (going through thousands of deaths in the first movie, looking through millions of alternate realities in Infinity War, losing loved ones in the process, etcetera…)

    And I also can’t wait his relationship with America Chavez.😁
