I just want to reiterate and stress just how exactly good of a pilot The Umbrella Academy had, from beginning to end, most notably, within the episode's first ten minutes.

The horrifying, body horror-esque beginning of a girl who wasn't pregnant before she jumped into the pool emerging not only pregnant but also now, suddenly, abruptly, going into active labour, punctuated by the sounds of stretching, tearing, ripping fabric.

The smooth introduction of the universe, the world, the situation, most notably, of Sir Reginald Hargreeves, as narrated by Pogo.

On the 12th hour of the first day of October 1989, 43 women around the world gave birth. This was unusual only in the fact that none of these women had been pregnant when the day first began. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, eccentric billionaire and adventurer, resolved to locate and adopt as many of the children as possible.

The abrupt juxtaposition of he got seven of them written stylized on the screen while "Picture Book" by The Kinks plays.

The "Phantom of The Opera" violin medley, Vanya playing to an audience of no one while on stage. Diego, vigilante justice and still in their childhood Umbrella Academy masks. Luther, alone on the moon. Allison on the red carpet. Klaus, fresh from rehab, another thirty day token.

The moment, when, each of them learned their father had died.

All of it—all of it—packed. It flowed. It rolled. And it didn't stop, until the end of the episode.

And contrast all of that, sharply, and directly, to what we got in season three.

I miss the era where there'd be outtakes to animated movies like toy story or early 2000s barbie movies that shit was hilarious and so wholesome

zoe kravitz fighting for her life in these batman interviews to show she's familiar with year one/other source material so fanboys don't bite her head off (they will/are anyway) while rpatz just sits there nodding

Honestly, this whole waiting 2+ years for the next season of a tv show is bizarre.

Not to mention the reluctance to release air dates ???

All it does is make people lose interest.
