Piling on to the Emmys shouting for Gina Rodriguez. The whole graduation ceremony was so lovely, from her groaning at the cheesiness but still pretty delighted and then breaking down with Alba and Xo. And yet, the "It is, shut up!" response to Raf's "Thought you said it was cheesy" was probably what really made it for

I'm not equating terrorists with unarmed victims, though? If the cops aren't following the rules themselves, like, say, with illegal chokeholds and lying about events, hiding their badge numbers, keeping their body and dashcams turned off, if they're breaking the law themselves, and there wasn't cronyism to defend

Aye, good point. And then it was pointed out how short-sighted that way of thinking is. I suppose the problem is not so much the danger of having a higher power that decides everything, however unjust it might turn out to be, but that it's so freaking powerful and insidious. No human should have that power, so no

I get that for Samaritan, creating even bigger terror incidents is possible and it has no real objections to more violence, which, I'm having a bit of trouble with the motivations. The uneasy peace followed by all hell breaking loose as a statement is fine, but when it was talking to the Machine/Root, it pretty much

Honestly, after the week—or even year we've had, I was wondering if there would be more of an understanding of Samaritan's side. I know Alexa mentioned that the leaking of crucial private information echoes real life situations, but if we could stop what happened in just Peshawar, Sydney, Souderton, and Yemen in the

Though, I did like the slow mo shot with Skye in the end. You know which one.

Yes! Mommy Bosephus to look forward to.

I am LOVING Rodriguez so much in this. That part stood out to me, and the little half smile and trying not to crack up as she and Xo joked about Rogelio's advice. She's just so, so good at getting me to believe that she's this person who's living this life.

Right, that money would have gone to Jane. So, him telling her would just make her either feel guilty and still go on to get the money or drop the suit and…not get the money herself.

I think it's pretty early and that the conversation Jane had with her mother when she realized she WAS going to get attached and that it WAS a huge thing, however she handled it, was really great from the mental aspect. Health-wise, I think it's there hasn't been much time for things to develop and I'm glad they

Was just skimming through the ep again and I have to say, as much as they had a bunch of messy storylines going on this season, they made me care about Nolan and Irisa again. I wish they'd quit pushing Nolan's romantic/sex life and keep the focus on Nolan/Irisa, because they're infinitely more interesting than whether

I like her. I just…don't like anything about the show anymore. I was fine with her, even if her character did make some dumbass mistakes, I shrugged it off. But overall the character motivations and actions are terrible and contradictory and I can't believe they got rid of Nagra.

I dunno, yeah, I really actually did end up enjoying that, it was pretty huge and tied in a lot of things, just maybe not enough? The Tarrs's House Arrest stuff was kind of funny and cute, but the payoff to Amanda finally finding out and how betrayed she felt, that just…it felt missing. Because we have seen them

Having said that, I dunno what that last episode was. Maybe somebody else will point out all the ways in which it was brilliant but I thought it was the worst of the series.

It's so much better than its credentials led me to believe. I confess, I did throw around The Wire at first, maybe just because of the unflinching look at race, and the three overlapping cast members I've recognized so far, but I agree that it's fallen well short.

Aw, say what you will about the Olsen twins, but considering Michelle literally grew up in front of us, they did pretty well.

I can't believe this ep somehow got an A-. It wasn't any better than anything before, and actually quite a bit worse than a couple of the middle eps. All those breaks in logic you pointed out, and just really contradictory character motivations! I actually wanted some of those people to die, they were just so dumb.
And

No, women have always been depicted this way in comic books. And that's…always been an issue. It's just being heard now.

I wanted Irisa's plot to be actually Irzu related and a lot more epic than it's turning out to be. Honestly, at a certain point I was kind of rooting for them to do something massive, instead of just being 20 or so cultists easily brought down by an EMP.
At what point is Pottinger's creepiness going to be uncovered?
