Just the Ticket

Welcome to the end of Falcon and the Winter Soldier , Ticketholders! That rhymes! It was a ride of sorts, and I'm a little disappointed that Marvel went with "One World, One People" (the motto of the Flag-Smashers, which rings a little too close to the QAnon slogan, "Where We Go One, We Go All," but that is not a thought worth indulging for any further time) for the episode title, instead of "Justice and the American Way" as I guessed last week. Leave your comments and Flag-Smash those social appreciation buttons down below, and get ready for a SPOILER Warning! Let's begin with a couple of plot details that I neglected to mention in previous posts, first of which is the Global Repatriation Council. The GRC is a...global...council...formed in the wake of the Blip-reversal to find homes for the billions of people who returned to existence after five years of the world learning to cope with their "deaths" and adjust environmental...

Good news, Ticketholders! As of Thursday, I am fully vaccinated. I'm exhausted and I have muscle aches from the waist down, a swollen shoulder, and headaches from the neck up, but that seems...normal? My elderly parents both feel the same symptoms, so I can only hope and try to carry on as normal as possible. Speaking of hope, I hope that the title of this week's post doesn't violate my SPOILER Warning! Which is in effect as of now. To those who have been anticipating a brutal dose of comeuppance for what John Walker (Wyatt Russell) did at the end of the previous episode--who hasn't?--prepare to be satisfied...and, not. This episode, titled "Truth" (perhaps setting up for the finale to be called "Justice and the American Way"?), draws another Walker/Rogers parallel by continuing the Civil War comparison that ended "The World Is Watching" last week (Cap did not deal the killing blow against Iron Man, whereas Walker followed throu...

Well, damn. I'm sorry, Ticketholders. But that's all I have to say about how this week's episode of Falcon and the Winter Soldier ended. I watched it on my lunch break at work yesterday, so I had to finish my shift with that image haunting me. If you've been watching the series, you know exactly what I'm talking about, and...damn. Just... damn . I don't think it's right to be chipper and ask for your patronage here, so you know what to do. SPOILER Warning! Let's get through this.... "The World is Watching" in this episode, and what they end up watching, I will do my best to not spoil, even with the above warning in effect. I will just say that everything I said in previous posts about "the new Captain America" and the Flag-Smashers comes to a head here.There is a plot unfolding with regards to Bucky's and Zemo's past with Wakanda (following the previous episode's ending), but this episode is mainly about the...

 Okay, let's try this again. This is your friendly neighborhood Ticketmaster, back after a bit of spur-of-the-moment commentary to again wish you a happy National Film Score Day (on the correct date this time). It has only been an hour at the time of this writing since I last posted, but said commentary post hasn't gone over well yet. Perhaps I cursed too much therein, or perhaps social media is feeding me to its SEO-powered cancelling machines for even talking about a certain topic that shall not be named here, or perhaps people just didn't find it as interesting as the rest of my  Streaming Saturday  content. Whatever the case, you're here for some actual Falcon & the Winter Soldier  content, so remember to like and comment below (on this post, too, not just the social media stuff--for those of you on Facebook, you know what my participation traffic for Blogger  really  looks like) because every little click and word helps. Oh, and another SPOILER War...

Note: I started this post with the intent to release it on Saturday as a review and summary of the newest episode of Falcon & the Winter Soldier , but I ran long with my point, and so am posting it the evening before as an addendum to the previous installment of Streaming Saturday , as the message is what is most important. The intended content will be released tomorrow, as per usual. For now, I present an unintentional crossover with New Piece Offerings : Happy National Film Score Day, Ticketholders! Yes, that is a thing that is celebrated on April 3rd, along with Chocolate Mousse, Rainbows, Tweed, Parties, Children, and Hand-made things. Just ask  https://nationaldaycalendar.com/ . I singled out National Film Score day because, you know, this blog is about movies and stuff. And since I'm typing this post with my hands, let's call it a hand-made thing and celebrate it with some likes and comments down below, okay? Okay! Also, SPOILER Warning! going forward.... Last week, I...
