Personally my issue with the reviews for SHIELD is that the complaint seems to be 'this isn't what I want the show to be'.

I'm sad constance zimmer is gone but I disagree about the calibre of the episode. I thought it was really good, and I think Clark Gregg is plenty engaging as a scary vengeful guy. I kind of like that the death happened out of nowhere- there's nothing worse than a so-called threatening villain who never follows through…

Love rizzo. She was always the MVP

Yep that's exactly what I said. Because a live for tv show that will probably be the same terrible quality as Peter Pan and sound of music is exactly the same thing as a revival

I mean that's classic though. He didn't want to move there because he thought she wasn't serious and then they didn't move there because she was having a baby. All legitimate reasons but if it's coming from someone who thinks she wants to be a stay at home mum it wouldn't be that hard to imagine what her priorities…

I'm so confused by the necessity of this. If you want to watch Grease couldn't you just watch the movie? Also it's not THAT sugary sweet- for one thing it has one of the worst messages I can remember from my childhood. Change everything about yourself sandy, that'll get you the guy

Congrats

I mean, i think talking about how advertising works isn't crazy in an episode that is sponsored by target, about a day that is designed to create a shopping frenzy. Like, I'm not particularly worked up about it, but it's a conversation worth having

Yeah, you can. But it's the same argument that says you have the free will to buy makeup so there's no ethically grey area in convincing women products can solve their beauty problems. Nobody believes advertising works on them, but they are designed to think you need it

Yeah… that argument falls down when you look at how manipulative and insidious advertising is in general let alone the psychology that goes behind advertising for massive sales

Mm I don't know, I think Danny IS a good guy, I just think he has areas where he's not great. Which, like you say, is what mindy kaling wants.

I think it's because you can intellectually know something, but when youre having a fight with someone two thinks happen- you usually say the worst things possible, and also that you go with your instinctual answer, which is usually a regression. What I would say is that mindy being mindy, if you take her at face…

Yeah I'm not saying they shouldn't have used it as a storyline. I'm just saying I have problems with black Friday as a concept. I just didn't know what you were trying to say with the anecdote

Really he sounds like a guy who is very traditional, was raised traditionally and when his back is up against the wall he falls back into his instinct. It's very italian tbh; a lot of the families have the old style of thinking about families ingrained. Not saying he's right- he's obviously not right, but it's vaguely…

Ok… good for you? I'm sure it saves a lot of people money, but it doesn't mean I have to be down with the concept and the way shops go about creating an atmosphere of panic and one that encourages reckless spending. Especially when it has actually killed people before.

I don't think it's just a low-income thing; it's an American shopping thing. The big brands created it to rake in sales around thanksgiving which is why they keep moving the sales up every year so they can maximise the shopping time and create the feeling of urgency in people to push them to buy. I'm not American so…

yeah, i don't have a favourite pregnancy storyline

Sigh. I'm so over the love triangle- can they settle it for longer than two episodes?! Every episode ends with a different relationship than the episode started with. It's boring and puts me off the show.

I think it's pretty unfair to suggest amy is 'lowering' herself to be with Jake. For one thing, intelligence isn't the only thing people care about- jake is better at heaps of stuff than amy, for another they're clearly on the same level professionally. Jake is immature- so what? He's trying to grow up but often slips…

I meant dismissing the use of the storyline as a cop out, which is 100% what you said in your first comment. I just think that just because a show went through with an abortion doesn't mean it deals with the issue better than one in which the woman decides to have the baby. I mean, even in shondaland they did it with…
