The first one is valid because the show isn't making Mae work for Deathlok.

Ah, I misunderstood.

You know, this show reminds me of my biggest problem with the first Captain America movie, and to a lesser degree the Avengers: How they have to make the mooks utterly incompetent to explain how the hero never gets shot.

Did they? Coulson made it sound like they were never going to kill him, just lock him up. And following that logic, I hated how in all the excuse making, Ward never tries the actually valid 'Hey, if this guy is really psychic, locking him up isn't going to work'.

Stop it. Stop making all my comments redundant by hogging all the good rants.

The question is, are they actually this dumb, or are they just reciting the corporate show-defense talking points?

I would really like it if this show spent a few minutes talking about the moral culpability Mike has for doing all these things for no better reason than to save his own life. There is a good argument to be made that he should bite the bullet and committ suicide for the greater good.

Ugh, fine I'll be that guy…

Kinda deflated because he clearly was aware enough to follow the action and might have tried something to prove he was innocent. Like shaking his head no or blinking out SOS.

It takes time to drag down the curve enough to make this more than a low B.

I can understand why another person might like this episode a lot more than I did, but it really annoyed me. First, this show has had neither the build up nor good enough actors to make those emotional scenes with Skye and Ward work. And second, the action scenes defied all logic.

Astapor was taken back over by a literal butcher who usurped the council Danaerys had actually left in charge and was trying to bring back slavery. Leaving them to get curbstomped was one of the smarter things Dany did in ADWD.

The Dark Tower really needs to be done as a 5 season tv series. Jake would grow up too much between movies.

In fairness to Joffrey, the book makes it sound like he was all of two years old at the time. He heard that the cat was having kittens, and was to young to understand cutting open a cat to get the kittens out isn't how pregnancy works.

His father was a fat lazy drunk.

Dany's stuff in ADWD was certainly drawn out too far, but it was nice to see some actual consequences for what she did. Any idea that she was a Mary Sue character got shut down violently in that book.

You know, I really liked 'The eye of the Dragon', but I'm not sure what to make of it. Half the characters are in a fairy tale deconstruction, and the other half are playing all the tropes straight and hamming it up hilariously.

I thought it was 'In english'.

"This show had momentum it could be building?"

That has to be how they do it. She can't become a regular cast member unless it turns out she was a HYDRA agent shit why am I giving these writers ideas?
