I just saw two eps of Visionquest. We talk about it here?
Love Vision's houseguests. Hate ep2 cuz of that.
Tommy's acting was amazing.

It looks good from the trailers. I will have to check it out this weekend.
I got spoiled on the villain Butcherbird but was still surprised on the appearance.
I'm actually not thrilled by Ultron but, yeah, love the others.
Btw, was this a mistake? Was he suppose to say Billy?

I watched the first two episodes last night an started the third before I just had t go to bed. It's a good show. I like how they brought back the actor from Agent Carter again to play Jarvis. I also love who they choose to play DUME and U. They are from the famous play, the Everything Goes Wrong show. Spader is great in this too! Tommy wasn't annoying, and Lisa was pretty neat, so I hope that she comes back later on.
I do have to say, that this is the same show runner we had from Picard Season 3, and in both cases we have a cybernetic lifeform being chased by a bounty hunter. Just this time Shaw is the bounty hunter.

Lol! I didn't catch that, but I totally can see it now!
Friend looked it up and Thomas' thief friend Lisa is Coat of Arms from the Young Masters of Evil.
I read that series before (Young Avengers Dark Reign) but I never got who Coat of Arms is suppose to be a counterpart of? I don't know the membership of the Masters of Evil (except for the Zemo Thunderbolts) but
Enchantress, Executioner and Melter are Thor and Iron Man enemies.
Egghead is a general Avengers enemy (and an anti Vision?). Big Zero is a size shifter so vs Giant Man and Wasp.
But who is Coat of Arms suppose to represent or be a counterpart to? Black Knight? Magic user so Scarlet Witch?

So I watched episode 6 last night. Great episode, and I loved the return of the character that I won't spoil here.
Watching both eps together blurs which happens where to me.
Something I really like is when they show competency. It was online when someone described Star Trek (i forget which, Next Gen?) as 'efficiency p-rn'. Them doing it here is awesome, hehe.
Do people care about Paladin?
Also, I thought she was dead, dang.

Paladin is a great character here, and the actor was great in Season 3 of Picard, so I care.
I looked him up and, oh, I remember that Captain Liam. Ish. I remember sorta being annoyed at him but then liking him too. Didn't know he was Paladin.
Paladin in the show bothers me cuz they're giving him a lot of backstory but I only know Paladin from the comics that I read, which doesn't have it.
(Mostly remember his personality as being hired by Diamondback during... Captain America Streets of Poison, I think? He said something about taking her to dinner after the mission, I think?)

Somewhat related, in case you aren't following the celebrity death thread, Sir Patrick Stewart has passed away at the age of 86. 
Ultron, what a glorious son of bitch!
Seriously, I was kind of expecting this reveal from the start, especially after the "client" revealed his digital avatar, but it still hit hard when they finally got to it.

Haven't gathered my thoughts but I'm still eh on 'robots' synthesis etc wanting to be human, feel emotions.
Also, I saw this on fb. I figure it's better to post it here than in the Trek thread.

I think that's a superficial analysis. While there are common themes, I don't buy it being as close a retread as that poster makes it. It's equivalent, to me, to saying that Ant Man and Dr. Strange are just retreads of Iron Man (cinematically, anyway). I think someone saw the same showrunner and started to reach to create a parallel that isn't as prominent as they think it is.
The most recent episode, IMO, really helps flip the script and does a LOT to recontextualize the prior episodes.
