Okay, I'll admit it: I don't entirely gel with all the hate. Sure, Jaha brought Alie down upon them, but it's not like he did so willfully. He didn't find this crazy AI bent on subsuming them all and bring it down on everyone because of so lust for power. I think he was irresponsible, but in a way most anyone

I turned off the episode when Monty revealed to everyone at Arkadia that Clarke had the list. I am really growing tired of the repeated story beats here and the relentless despair is starting to weigh me down. There's a fine line between examining it as a mechanic of your storyworld, and reveling in it for the sake

You say that like it's a bad thing.

I might have to rewatch early episodes in an attempt to figure out when Fitz was replaced.

I'll put it on in the background so I can still pick out important stories and characters - and enjoy some of my personal favorite moments (like May driving a car through a plate glass door).

Angel definitely deserved another couple of seasons. Even though they got to go out on their own, the whole thing felt abrupt - like they were clearly steering fifth season into a specific direction with the expectation it would have a couple years to explore the elements at hand. The primary reason why it ended

I don't think AoS needs it - my point is more that it feels discontinuous. Like, AoS is doing all this worldbuilding that should be affecting the MCU in some way and yet it never happens. And it does feel like an intentional shaft on the show, in spite of it doing more work than anyone to lay down all those pieces.

Or I don't wonder if she wasn't an Inhuman to begin with, since that would be the easiest way to have May dodge having to kill her to begin with.

Well, Mack and Elena have never had the chance…

Can't we love both? Why must we put one down in order to prop up the other?

Oh, I know. I think I care less about this happening with the Netflix shows, because they're only worldbuilding in one small corner of New York, so it doesn't quite matter on the same scale. AoS introduced the Inhumans and LMDs and Ghost Rider and is having worldwide events going on that the larger MCU could (and

Firefly's cancellation is often cited as still being painful down the line (a sentiment with which I would agree) but I also still find Angel's abrupt cancellation painful. Even higher-ups admitted that one was a mistake after the fact.

I would love to see Black Siren on the show - even if it was only for a few episodes.

Or Sara will hook up with her…

*raises a glass for our much-missed Mockingbird*

It also didn't help that Crump couldn't convey menace to save his life.

Hayley Atwell in the Framework seriously needs to happen!

I just like to think she's the same person on both shows and so names don't really matter. Before you know it, AoS will start calling her Vasquez and Supergirl will start calling her Piper.

When Nate dropped that line about "there's a difference between legend and history" I wondered if that was supposed to be meta commentary on the show.

And Mick will hang around to kibitz.
