I would like for them to delve deeper into Chloe's "anarchism" and the other agents obviously being pro-government and have some real debate there instead of just the one off they did tonight.

Going along with that Secret Avengers recommendation (which is great) I'd also recommend Jonathan Hickman's Secret Warriors which you can get in an Omnibus or in trades.  It's got the same kind of "We are spies fighting other evil groups of spies, some of which have superpowers.   Really great stuff.

You can find Kaufman's final shooting script online.  It's pretty clear from reading it where Clooney went off in different ways.

"Hey guys…get a room…WHOA…that's…that's not right….no"

"it'll read it to ya…"

I saw Rockwell in a McDonagh play on broadway and he totally stole the show.  And he was stealing the show from Christopher Fuckin' Walken so yeah, obviously that was saying something.

I'm way way behind on the show, way way behind.  but I look forward to catching up.  And tbh I think this season long experiment might be exactly what the show needs to kick into high gear.

Oh also, you mentioned this in a previous post but I have been really liking how more and more Watson shows to be an invaluable help.  Piecing things together Sherlock may miss or using her knowledge to see things that help him make connections. She's not just there for him to deliver exposition too like a Dr. Who…

I'm just getting a busy signal :(

Yeah agreed.  She made "I missed you so much" break my damn heart but the show often didn't know what to do with it other than be beautiful and have Sawyer and Jack fall in love with her.  Which is a shame because she really is a good actress.  At least on the show.

I actually really disagree on Jack and Ted.  I think Ted had great comic timing (his reaction to "I'm close, I'm so close." being one example of such) and I always cared about his daughter and stories.  A straight man can be a very vital part of comedy, especially when they have great deadpan.

Both can happen.  Walt dies trying to kill the Nazis, Nazis die too.

if Todd doesn't die horribly I will throw a shoe.

Also I think they definitely missed a wonderful opportunity by not having a shot of Walt stone facedly watching Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium.

Forster was expertly used this episode.  So perfect in the role and they really gave him great lines to work with.

I always had a huge soft spot for Richard II.  It was one of the first I read in my Shakespeare class in College (which basically made me fall in love with the damn guy) and I loved how complex he made Richard.  He earns his dethroning but his monologues in the end are so beautiful.  He even becomes a bit self-aware.

Yeah I'm not totally sold on Watson's love life woes either, though I did like seeing Jack from Slings & Arrows pop up.  I could forgive it in this episode though because it seemed to be more about how she is becoming more like Holmes and less about her actual romantic troubles.

Elementary my dear @Scrawler:disqus

Yeah I like that what drove him over the edge seems to be pretty simple (a girl? boredom?) but it leaves plenty of room for backstory filling in and the kind of emotional discussions that lead to bonding between new partners.  Hopefully they keep it mostly grounded, as they have most of the character beats so far.
