A choice either to enlighten or not pay an actor for another episode.

I thought Wong was code-switching between the Identity his character presents to the outside world and her true self.

What I think has been lost is the parallels between the Emily-Miles relationship and the Jesse-Emily relationship.

I read the vibrator issue not as the traditional emasculation/challenge to virility trope but as another barrier to intimacy as applied. So Gus and Mickey could have, with the vibrator, an intimate, connected, in the moment experience (which is probably scary to both of them but something they want deep down) but…

Achilles and Patroclus.

1. I sympathize that it was an enjoyable dynamic and that there should be more of it on the show but as soon as Ros's Hydra base got infiltrated by her BF's team she was on the hit list. Add to that Ward's myopic thirst for revenge and it was more of a question of how soon.

At least they commented on it being underwhelming.

I thought during the dinner scene Ros's fate became obvious. Maybe a more cat and mouse mind fuck where Coulson thinks he's saved her and doesn't would have been better. I could have done with the episode opening with a bullet through the window (maybe jumping back or not). The effects shot tracking back to Ward was…

I don't yet see this as a retcon instead of a reveal.

That TAHITI remark raised some concerns for me when it was made.

I think that's what they were going for.

Didn't MCU Hydra start by experimenting on an alien artifact. I suspect that much of the early leadership of Hydra were members of this pre-existing cult.

The 1st season is especially bland.

It's like the Dick Cheney argument about WMDs, if there's a 1% chance of a bad outcome, that outcome is so bad preventive action must be taken.

It seems like his urge to kill Inhumans comes from his transformation, and is an instinct (the day dream he has). In the comics isn't Lash basically a eugenicist who tries to keep the Inhuman bloodline pure? Isn't the main Inhuman society really into controlling who goes through the mist based on genetics?

For me the default color palette is ok, it fits the spy theme of the show. I understand the criticism but I think Oliver could do a better job of breaking it down instead of making it a perfunctory part of his reviews, which becomes like the bland, uninspired, repetitive writing he is calling out. Maybe a feature like…

Gareth Edward's Godzilla has an homage to this sequence when Cranston and Taylor-Johnson go into the quarantine zone.

I disagree with some of the points other people have made that you're arguing against, I also believe additional context is important to understanding these complex decisions.

How many members of Congress do you know?
