Well, not just accent - also general Persian intonation. I grew up in a heavily Persian area, and they would have that sing-songy tone even when being dead serious. Given that Aghdashloo didn't leave Iran until she was an adult actress with a few popular titles under her belt, and that she hasn't shed the accent even…

Yeah - I tend to view Holden as a sort of deconstruction of this "too pure for the resistance" archetype.

I buy her in both modes, but I do enjoy the variety.

Honestly, the captain (Colonel, actually - he's established as a pretty big wheel back on Earth) just voiced a pretty common scientific criticism of the Drake equation. It's a multiplication of a whole bunch of probabilities/fractions (and one timespan) that are all massive guesses you pull out of your ass. Fraction…

He's not Bubbles - he's Apophis from SG-1.

Reinforcing the stereotype that victims are untrustworthy because of their victimization (yes, this is a thing).

Judging by her previous (Canadian) work - specifically Inhuman Condition (similar but fainter accent, and same weird cadence cadence) and Strange Empire (much fainter accent, still strange cadence) - she does seem to be leaning on something familiar for the Belter accent.

Surgical staples FTW.

Too soon.

I don't know - given that a) Hydra's in charge here, and b) Daisy is getting official-agent-sounding texts regarding him, I'm pretty sure he's still Hydra.

*sob* I want my Skimmons ship!!!

I was having all the Skimmons feels, until they had to bring up Jemma's One True Wuv :-P

In fact, I was expecting "everyone's in the Framework" to be the twist instead of "everyone's an LMD". But you're right, BOTH would be even better!

A lot less dissonance there :-P

I look at Ivanov and I just see Jody. The dissonance is heartbreaking.

How right you are.

I noticed it, but only because I watched with subtitles on - they had "Small Wonder" in quotes, so I knew it was something to look up.

Both Daredevil seasons were completely awful in their second halves too.

The hard part for me to believe is that people were doing criticality experiments with a steady hand and a screwdriver.

No quantum mechanics to understand. It's meaningless technobabble.
