The use of Alphaville’s “Forever Young” underscores the loss of innocence here and Sarah’s unwilling step into adulthood. And Amanda Seyfried’s understated performance here is nothing less than spectacular.

So many scenes of television live rent-free in my head years after they’ve aired. This gorgeous scene from Big Love Season 3, Episode 3 (“Prom Queen”) is one: rose-colored as the sun rises and Sarah confesses to her brother: www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-04... What TV scene is seared in your memory?

This was such an incredible read — that I care about mutant-hunting Sentinels is blowing my mind but you’ve done such a great job of imbuing these characters with interiority and emotion. (I had a feeling I would love this after your work on X-Men: From the Ashes Infinity, etc.) Can’t wait for #3.

Coca Cola went through all this to make an echo averaging out all their most mundane commercials from the crevices of the uncanny valley - but, in a way that allows them not to pay residuals for any previous ad contracts
