Everybody thinks they'll make a good God at first.

As long as there isn't purple lightning. That can't be good.

Well at least his bat-suit is better than Joel Schumacher's batman.

Outside watching the kids in the aboveground pool wondering if the earthquakes would knock it over.

Oh...My...Expectations just went up a notch.

I'm more and more a fan of the "off" networks like Spike and USA. They'll run a risk once in a while.

CDC is now my favorite gov't institution.

I've been looking forward to this movie more than Thor and Cap but less than Green Lantern. Thor was excellent so here's hoping my expectations follow suit.

Back to the retcon thing, I don't even look at movies as retcons. They're just a different interpretation of the source.

If TV has taught me one thing it's this: If you like someone, i mean really like someone tell them! Before they get shoot...or blowed up...or hit by a meteor.

WTF! Ok, i'm way to emotionally vested in this show.
SPOILERS --
SPOILERS -- She better be using this as a way to make the mystery big bad think she's dead to lure him into making a mistake. Castle is an idiot for waiting till he thinks she's dying to declare his love!...Alright, i'm ok, yes these are just characters in a show. move along, ignore the emotionally distraught old man. -
This season has been rough. I lost 5 shows off of my season passes.

I did have the odd feeling of "women are not being insulted in this movie."
Jane Foster is the love interest, but she stays fully clothed, she's a scientist, there are no grotesque sex scenes. Instead, Thor is the one who is the eyecandy. (I was a little bored by the romantic subplot, but considered it obligatory to staying true to the origin.)
Frigga, Odin's wife, might not be a warrior woman like Sif, but when Frost Giants invade her husband's sick chamber, she picks up a sword and kills one. (Curious to note that, in current canon, she's not the mother of either Thor or Loki.)
Sif. Sif. Sif. Looks strong and beautiful. Gets a wonderful Bad *** Moment. And despite the vague love triangle going on between her, Thor and Jane, her feelings are hinted very subtly, without violin strings soap opera.
Jane's companion, Darcy, is not played as annoyingly cutesy little girl or jailbait sexpot. She's just a tagalong who gets the comic lines. (I will forever wonder if Mjolnir has the soul of a kitty cat, now.)
I didn't think the trailer was that good, really--my decision to watch the movie was based more on fangirlism. It's a fun movie, and it wasn't conveyed well enough. -
