I definitely don't agree with the absurdly generous grade, I mean, sure, MacLachlan was still great but here we are again *sigh* where everything to do with SHIELD itself and the paper mache puppets it calls agents that we all pretend are flesh and blood people, is the living embodiment of middling, there is no one…

Stop being so awesome, The Flash. I just can't take it.

I still miss that House of Mystery series. It didn't always work but I thought it was a fascinating attempt at combining an anthology series with a serial narrative.

This was pretty much as delightful as I was hoping. I'm celebrating all drunk cowboy-style over here.

If you thought the whole point of this season was to show that Lexa and the Grounders are the noblest people to have ever walked the planet, you are crazy.

They are almost certainly slotting him into the 'uncertain about what he is doing' villain role.

It is pretty good from day one and doesn't really have any filler. Plus the seasons aren't that long(season 1 is 13, season 2 is 16).

Exactly, Lexa making a deal makes perfect sense. People really latched onto the Grounders this season and it really colored their perception of who they are.

Octavia and her slide-kicking was awesome and I have to give points to Murphy for going from "This character cannot stick around" to "He is eating crackers and drinking booze while he watches a guy shoot himself and I never want him to leave", but, and as boring as this answer is, it is still my main woman Clarke.

I don't think they were aiming for uplifting, that was more mournful and tragic. I thought the cover worked, more or less, largely because I love me some grandiose "music as emotional underlining".

Clarke is the best.
Badass Octavia slide-kicking is the best.
Monroe and Miller(and Miller's dad) not dying is the best.
Holograms and Nukes are the best.
The grayest of gray morality is the best.
"So we could live…and because you can row." is the best.

Because it is about ballerinas? Don't judge a book by its cover and all that, you, you, you person, you.

You are everything wrong with the world. How do you sleep at night, sir?!

Why did you have to bring up Bunheads? Will that wound never heal?

This doesn't make sense. Why deprive yourself of something awesome for an arbitrary reason?

Because this is a list on the internet I am obligated to point out the wrongness of your choices because you missed the two best episodes, like, oh my god.

As long as Monroe lives, all will be well.

So this was pretty good, though it was lacking in show-stealing Norma greatness(outside of her pulling Norman out of the car). Not that she was bad, as if Norma and Vera could ever be such a thing, but she was rather reined in, probably do to a pleasant and uneventful however-much-time-has-passed.

Norma is almost here and I can barely contain myself.
