Also, in whatever kingdom Hook came from, it was possible to acquire Pegasus feathers. (That’s what they made the sail from, right?)

^ Interesting! 🙂
I’ve got a totally TOTALLY crazy theory. 😛
So the ring might come from either Hook’s father, or his mother via his father. And we have all this greek mythology going around. I know that greek mythology is FULL of gods and mortals having half-mortal kids together. What if Hook is one??? And the ring is somehow connected to that?!?
So yeah, I feel like I am totally pulling this out of the air, but I just wanted to be on record, just in case it actually happens, LOLOLOL!!! 😛 😛 😛

Btw, this magic is clearly the force. It has a light side and a dark side. 😛
Complete with the dark one corrupting a loved one, and then putting on a mask. 😉
I’ve got a few other comments too, but I’ll have to post them later. 🙂

Seemed more like she created the darkness, by using that greatest of all magic in anger, transforming and corrupting it into a dark force that controlled her.
Which completely contradicts what the apprentice said about the origins. He said the darkness existed as a threat to the world, so Merlin tethered it to a person to control it.
Instead we saw him tether the DAGGER to Nimue to control her, that being completely separate from … Everything else that happened. Which makes the dagger control just a spell from Merlin. A powerful one, sure, but not connected fundamentally to the darkness itself! You would think the dark ones would have focused on breaking this spell, as it would not have affected their actual powers at all!
And again, how the heck does the hat come into all this?!? They are pretending that was never a thing!!!

Also, the apprentice was a child when Nimue became the dark one. And then he was an old man (looking same as we saw in the present) when Zoso came looking for the hat, and the apprentice said “every dark one tried, every dark one failed” to get the hat.
Not to mention, how did the hat come into this??? They have completely forgotten about it! Wouldn’t all those dark ones have wanted Excalibur, instead?
Anyway, someone needs to ask about the timeline on twitter. Aaagain. 🙄

LOL at Hiro’s lines!
“Oh, like Harry potter!”
“Great-a Scott-a!” (Gotta get a Back to the Future reference in.) 😉
The kids are Star Wars twins! I’ve been saying it for two (or was it three?) weeks! They totally went there! 😆
Did Hiro go back and save Mohinder after he found he couldn’t stop the explosion? Surely Mohinder is not a butterfly!

So, presumably Claire’s pregnancy messed with her powers? That is odd. But … why didn’t Noah check the back of her head? He made a big deal of it to the doctor, and then he didn’t even check!
Speaking of which, that doctor was acting awfully suspicious when he was blocking Noah. There may still be more to that story.
And seriously … WHO IS THE FATHER???!!!???
—
So. About the things that Noah “forgot”.
The thing we have to remember is that there were two Noahs on June 13th, doing very different things! It was Future!Noah who learned about the twins, and helped send them back in time! Past!Noah never learned that part in the first pace, so that is not what he forgot!
When Noah went back to the hospital, and saw footage of himself doing things he doesn’t remember, that was Future!Noah he saw. He didn’t forget those things, he just hadn’t done them yet. 🙂
We do know he forgot the whole day, but whatever he really needed to forget, I do not think we have seen it yet. It is most likely going to be that he meets himself, and must preserve the continuity of not knowing. He has to have something to investigate, or he won’t come back and save the twins. And only Future!Noah can do that, because he has seen the future that they need to save. 🙂
We know that Past!Noah is running around with penny guy. One or both of the Noahs probably ask him to take the memories.
So, now the ONLY missing piece is the actions of the Haitian and Molly. Molly I guess I get, if she knew the secret. Remember, Erica is looking for ONE child who will save the world. She does not know there are two! 😯 *cough*StarWars*cough*
The Haitian though is just baffling. Everything they do during the year would have to be to ensure that Future!Noah goes back and saves the twins. Killing him in the meantime would just doom the world! 😯
As far as the mind wipe in general, I’m sticking with my theory that Noah needed that big of a mystery, to make himself go looking, and go back in time. Gotta preserve the continuity of what he just did. 🙂

So we saw how Hiro was put into the game.
But I was confused by what we saw of Otomo. Ok, he put Hiro in the game. When did he leave a trail for Hiro to be rescued? Or, did Hiro do that from in the game? How does this lead to Miko?
Yeah, we need some explanations here.

So the nurse who raised Tommy/Nathan. When she walked in the room, she clearly recognized Hiro as one who brought him to her, and handed the baby straight to him. In a sort of wordless “here is my child, now go bring him to me”.
Thought, they had a conversation about “When did Claire manifest her powers” … And said 15?!? No! She survived a fire as an infant! That was her defining moment! And why use only Claire as a measure of when powers appear? Everyone manifests at a different age! :rolleyes: That was just a random and lame excuse for wanting them to be teenagers, lol.
And, taking the babies to grow up in the past is not changing the timeline or fate, of course that was always meant to happen. No babies could save the world at one year old, so of course that time travel was always part of their destiny! It had to be included in Angela’s prophesy.
The strange thing is, that for all they found they could not change the past, I think they actually did change something, somehow. Because on Tommy/Nathan’s birthday, he said he knows what needs to happen, his father trained him well, etc. This is very different than the year-later-Tommy that we met at the beginning of the show.
Sure, he could have forgotten in the meantime, but why? He needs to know all this! What his purpose is, why the are on the run, and how to use his power to save the world! (For that matter, understanding his power should make being on the run super easy. 😉 )
More likely, he learned things this time around that he didn’t the first time. Though I have no idea what could have changed in the timeline. *shrug*
And who is he referring to as “father”? Did Hiro stay and teach him to control his power? 😮

And then we have Luke. So his son had that medical condition where he can’t ever be in sunlight. (I forget what it’s called.) And they were looking for an Evo to cure him. Though as one of them said, Evos are not magic, there may not be anyone who can do that.
So, what. Luke developed a sunlight power in … sympathy or something? *blink*
Whew, long post, LOL! 😆

So I’ve got an interesting theory.
This being that lives in a sandstorm, I think it generates a sandstorm around itself. The astronauts called it “death”, and think that it once destroyed all life on that planet.
It is clearly not a coincidence that Fitz’s ancient scroll said the exact same thing: “death”! I think the maker of that scroll knew exactly what was on the other side of the monolith. 😮
Here’s my theory: long ago, this being came to that planet and started devouring all life. Someone found / developed a way to escape … to earth. Somehow they created that monolith, either in getting here or after. But they knew that if that being didn’t get fed, it would come looking for more food … and Earth would be the next planet consumed! * 😮
So they set up a system where people would be periodically “sacrificed” by sending them through the monolith. They entrusted a secret few with this information, who would pass the tradition down though the ages. And they did, people have been sent there all through history, even since biblical times judging by the Hebrew scroll! And maybe even before that, who knows?
And however NASA got hold of it, someone there was in the know, and made sure to feed four astronauts to it!!! 😮
A slight variation of this theory is that the monolith was used to banish that being in the first place, by sending it there from Earth. But that doesn’t explain how it got here in the first place, or who made the monolith. So I’m less clear on this version of the theory.
Anyway, I don’t know how any of this relates to inhumans, or what aliens were involved in the history. Was it the Kree, or someone else?!?

* Oh, I just reminded myself of Doctor Who’s “Planet of the Dead”! 😆

Lol Ranisha, where is that last GIF from? 😆
And about the new show, the only way to watch it will be to pay $6 a month for CBS’s streaming service. Even if you already pay for Netflix and Hulu. And only the first episode will actually air on the TV!
I predict many pissed off fans, and an awful lot of pirating! That and a lot of people will just wait till the whole series is out, pay for one month and binge it, lol. 😉
Either way, their sneaky plan to use one of the most popular franchises of all time, to basically blackmail their way to new subscribers will bite them in the butt! 🙄

Honestly, this was not a very good adaptation of the series; many fans were disappointed in it. If he hasn’t seen the original series, I would definitely recommend that, no matter what. It’s a masterpiece. They just released a complete series box set, which is pretty cheap on Amazon.
Oh yah, I know a lot of hardcore fans of the show hated it as an adaptation. But I don’t think kids would really complain. I watched the original series and I was okay with it, and my sister loves it. At the very least, the special effects were amazing! And the costumes were well done. The script (and cast) just needed major adjustments. I have said that if the cartoon had never existed and the film was original, I think it’d be seen better.
Watcher, that’s similar to what I said about Eragon. By grown-up analysis, and comparison to the source, the movie ruined certain things for me. But it would be a perfectly fun ride for a kid! In fact, I saw Eragon in the theater, and a friend was there with her son. I forget how old he was, but probably under ten. He LOVED LOVED LOVED the movie! 😀 I think he’s dyslexic and has a lot of trouble reading, but Eragon made him WANT to read the book! 😎 (It also made him want a dragon, but then, so do I. 😉 )
Spirited Away (possibly; there are some scary moments in it, but no more than a Disney film; honestly I would recommend any Miyazaki movie, aside from The Castle of Cagliostro,Princess Mononoke, and The Wind Rises — some other Ghibli movies are more intense, but Miyazaki’s tend to be more child-friendly; Nausicaä and Castle in the Sky could also be a bit frightening)
Ok, I am OBSESSED with Miyazaki movies, and I love finding fellow fans or making new ones! 😀 (Jiminy, I’d love to discuss some in depth if you would, but this thread is not the place. 🙂 )
Anyway, yes to Spirited Away! And Ponyo is nice and kid friendly. 🙂 Oh, and The Secret World of Arrietty, based on The Borrowers. 😎
But one of my absolute favorites is My Neighbor Totoro! It has some of the most wonderfully whimsical and imaginative things I have ever seen!!! And it is not merely a kids movie, it can bring out the inner child in any age viewer! I like to say it is a movie about childhood itself, capable of reminding any viewer of how a child sees the world, completely filled with wonder and awe, plus fear of some of life’s realities.
Two content warnings though. One is a cultural thing (it’s a Japanese animated movie). There is one scene that could be odd by western standards, where a father and his two young daughters take a bath together. Nothing graphic about it, but you know they are all naked. It is played as completely casual and normal, just nice family time together, in the bath. The biggest takeaway of the scene is everyone laughing together to drive away fears of a strong storm in a new house. Like I said, it is a cultural thing, and treated as normal. Use your own judgement there. 🙂
The other thing I would warn you about, is the girls’ mother is away in the hospital for the duration of the movie. She comes home at the end, but the children spend much of the movie worrying if she will get better, and several times fear the worst. This could be troubling for a kid. There is one bad scare which causes the littler girl to go off on her own and get lost. Then there is a frenzied search for the girl, and at one point everyone panics when they pull a child’s sandal from a pond. (It’s not hers.) It is at this point that the fantasy elements come to the rescue big time!
Anyway, it is an absolutely wonderful movie, with a child’s view of all the things that adults forget how to see. It is playful and whimsical, as children try to understand the big scary real world. You’ll just have to use your judgement on whether the issues I listed hit too close to home or not. 🙂
