Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I would think if she had married a Commando a news/documentary recording would have mentioned it straight-out, considering they were famous.

I think Marvel wanted to leave it open-ended on purpose.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

What is the deal with the hypno-guy's ring? Is it special, or a red herring?

I think it's just a tool for him to use: what's special is his hypnotic ability.

So sad to see Dooley go, I had grown to like him a lot in the last few episodes. But I'm glad he didn't die like poor Yauch.

There was a LOT packed into that episode. Every time I fast-forwarded through another set of commercials, I was surprised at how much there was left. This is some good storytelling.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

YES. It's become so much better lately.

As I said before, and as everyone says now, yeah: I had grown to really like Dooley, so dammit. That was sad.

I hadn't put together the rage gas with the Battle of Finaw, but that makes sense! Eesh.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

And Peggy never left the office.

Whoa, you're right.

The one bit that seemed awkwardly-done was Dooley locking up Peggy and Jarvis and then leaving; why were they loose in that room anyway if they were in custody?

I did enjoy the whole bit with the table and the mirror and then "We're still attached to a table." That was cute.

That's the action version of "Shouldn't we be doing something constructive?" "What did you have in mind? A short, blunt human pyramid?"

Peggy's remarks about flying glass and flying bullets were great in that scene, too! They are really kind of adorable together. (in a non-snippy way.)
