I gotta warn ya, it turned into a shitzkreig blitz.

Oh god, yes. You'd think he was the spawn of Satan for putting down God Oprah picking his book the way her followers spoke of him once he came out with that. Until then they gladly bought any copy available. Sales fell off significantly once he spoke plainly that the name-dropping, grandstanding cow Oprah was not the…

True story:
Used to manage a bookstore. We'd get a heads-up that Oprah was going to announce the next title in her book club on a certain day. In Chicago, she would come on at 10 am. Within seconds of the title escaping her lips, our phone would ring non-stop for over two hours, demanding a copy of whatever God—er,…

Excellent point. That much makes sense, but why he wouldn't put it right back in his pocket is the only thing I had a problem with, since it became the tipping point for the whole third act.

Look, I was laughing with the entire scenario right up until he put the card down on the table. That's it. Everything up to that point was plausible.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the show have a built-in filter when applying for tickets by giving your home address? I seem to recall seeing it when I applied to my local AR—though the $100 per ticket might dissuade some (if it weren't for the fact they're harder to get than Superbowl tickets).

I could see that being a huge problem around clusters of large
cities, say around Chicago—Milwaukee, St. Louis, Indianapolis; all
within reasonable driving distance of the Windy City. Obviously the show
has a set amount of tickets calculated to give everyone attending an
opportunity to be evaluated, but out-of-towners…

…but it still didn't make sense to do that! Flashing it to prove his point, maybe, but laying it down on the table? Now had he been distracted by say raking in a pile of chips and setting it down to do so, that would have made sense.

I did appreciate the whole "I used to be a badass in L.A., but now I'm just trying to wind down my lawman years in sleepy town" aspect. The action never seemed to require more than what was asked of an aging cop.
But man, those FBI guys were stupid as all get-out. What kind of law enforcement chopper doesn't come…

If it means Arnie jumping out of a slow-moving car into an action roll and breaking his hip doing it, I'm okay with that.

The only thing I had a problem with this episode was the launching point of the entire revolving doors bit—when MItchell inexplicably took out his room card and laid it on the blackjack table in front of his ex. Until then, the build-up of "hints" towards his ex were easily misunderstood. Why did he do that? If he was…

Well, the show could never resolve everything in a 12 minute episode unless they did leave the minor threads hanging—heck, I doubt they could do it in a two-parter.

I'd much rather see him floating with Cosmic Owl and Prismo.

Fun fact: Vadinio the Onion from Pumaman was the giant brute Mr. T slugged it out with in the 2nd part of the pilot of the A-Team. While he didn't throw our mohawked hero out a third story window to see if he'd land on his feet, he did toss him across the room into some wicker chairs to put him to bed.

We put our faith in him.

The only "problem" I'm having is wondering if—and how—this is all going to come to a head. At first my lady and I thought Lemonhope would be the harbinger of a final conclusion (and in a way, I suppose it was, given the look of the Candy Kingdom a thousand years later at the end of his Part 2), but rather what will…

Anyone notice that when they flashed the "Uprising" for next week's preview the S.H.I.E.L.D. symbol changed to Captain America's shield briefly for a second?
I'd imagine the whole storyline of Cap not following S.H.I.E.L.D.'s modus operandi in Winter Soldier might lead to Coulson's team also taking the same tack,…

That's "Agent Male Nerd" to you, Mister!
