Only The Avengers could do a Christmas episode like this. It’s absolutely filled with wall-to-wall delights like a series of foreboding Christmas-themed dream sequences, psychics stealing state secrets, a Christmas party and spooky mansion both themed after the collected works of Charles Dickens, and a fucking hall-of-mirrors gunfight with Santa. And of course it’s got the show’s top-class costuming and production design. I’m reeling. Incredible stuff

Praise for @MobileSuitLilah
“Lilah is maybe the internet’s greatest poster…a unique and very funny sense of humor…her jokes are specific and experimental while still being accessible to a mainstream audience”
— The New York Review of Posts
“Men you may not like it but…[Lilah’s posts are] what peak performance looks like”
— Virginia Woolf, author of Orlando
“I’m a huge admirer of Lilah’s posts to the point that I left my wife…only then did I discover Lilah is gay and had also never heard of me”
— Jonathan Safran Foer, an author I guess
"Lilah's posts were a huge source of relief during the development of DonPachi...it's no exaggeration to say Cave wouldn't exist without her posts"
— Tsuneki Ikeda

Assassins! Undercover infiltration! A prison break! Inconsistent German accents! Scenes of men in suits doing the very mundane and boring seeming tasks of coordinating and managing a large international criminal organization!
My favorite part is the 10 minute stretch in the middle where Cathy, who has gone undercover in Intercrime and stolen the identity of a German assassin, suddenly has to become the defense lawyer for an Intercrime employee in an out-of-nowhere Intercrime courtroom drama
