BEJT wrote: Lol the reference is even worse then, wow. It's sort of relying on people only semi-remembering Runaways: Season 1, which most articles seem to be in the position of. But I just wish this show took a bit more care. Yeah, for some reason stuff like that makes me wish even more Runaways and C&D were on Blu-ray for rewatching.

BEJT wrote: Who's Mr. Jip? Back in episode 5 or 6 of season 1 when Tyrone saw Kev's fears (that runner with the backpack I think it was), he saw this ethereal Bogey-man like figure. Pokaski pretty much confirmed that was Jip in venues like SyFy Wire or that Nerdist after show last year. In the comics, he was a major enemy of C&D - evil wizard with a grotesque appearance, ex-student of Ancient One, seeks out the bodies of evil people to extend his life - in what is a not-so deep bench in their rogues gallery.

BEJT wrote: I will also be glad for them to move on. When you've had villains related to the hero for a while, I like when things get changed up - a bit riskier and more interesting and fresh. Agreed, the Arrow and Flash CW series suffered, imo, for not doing that.

BEJT wrote: This episode I felt was a little bit more problematic in a post-Snap world, since it's the most of the wider world we've seen in Season 6 so far, and everyone at Deke's company was very lighthearted and happy. But we're still just about safe. True, it's a toss up between Deke's idea to upend the food industry vs. the notion of the Framework-based game being a hit because it implicitly helps people avoids reality.

Personal Note (additional)
I've finished exams now, and through to late September I'm going to have a lot of free time. Hope to get a lot done.

Also, I was thinking - once Jessica Jones and Far from Home are out and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Season 6 finishes, we're going to have at least 4 straight months (August-December at least) of no MCU content whatsoever, until Runaways: Season 3. Sure I love always having new MCU content, but honestly, I like the break's relief as well. Congrats on finishing out the (first?) year.

Agreed. I have nothing against the occassional break from new content.
