It was new, but it's also consistent with God. Christians call God "father" all the time.

This was a great episode. While Ward is wooden and Skye is annoying/stupid/poorly written, Simmons, Fitz, and May all have the potential to be great characters. Shining a spotlight on Simmons and Fitz and dialing up the humor a bit is why this episode was more enjoyable.

Am I the only one who loves Nancy? Elsbeth is obviously my favorite, but Nancy is a distant second. She's just a girl from Michigan! More Mamie Gummer on my screen is always welcome.

Solid episode. I particularly enjoyed OUAT's spin on Ursula being a worshipped myth impersonated by Regina before the real Ursula threatens her. That was Yvette Nicole Brown's voice, right?

I would say he is nuanced enough that they are planning to go that route eventually. He isn't cartoonishly evil. He has a clear set of beliefs and an agenda that he is working towards. Pellegrino has also said as much in interviews that he doesn't view the character as evil.

I'm still on the Laurel train. I'll see myself out I guess.

I would say episodes 3 and 4 were significant improvements over 1 and 2. Cara had a compelling backstory and is probably my favorite character at the moment (besides Jedikiah, obviously). It was also good to see more of John's relationship with Jedikiah, which helps to understand this "shadow war" better.

I was kind of hoping that we would just see Laurel getting drunk for an episode or two before anything came of it. Her getting caught face with Oliver was hilarious.

Oh, that's right. I already forgot he said that.

No, a crucible is not crucifixion. The title and Blood's comments refer to a crucible, which is a type of metal box where things are melted together. The idea of a crucible is to see what happens when different forces or, metaphorically, people are forced together and tested under immense pressure and heat - some…

The show handled Sara's reveal very smartly. Had it been a complete surprise to Oliver, it would have felt empty and too soap opera-ish (partially because of internet spoils). Had he known she was alive THE WHOLE TIME, it would have felt inauthentic for him to keep that from everybody. Having him know she survived…

I liked The Tomorrow People from the beginning and found the Cara-centric episode 3 to be a significant improvement over the first two episodes. In a lot of ways the show reminds me of Nikita: even though it isn't all that original, it is well-executed with enough compelling characters to be worth watching.

Is this bad enough to jump in and watch for comedic purposes? I haven't seen any episodes, but an F is a truly rare gem here. Or is this actually a D- in disguise and just painfully awful?

Needs more Allison Janney, less everyone else.

So I rewatched the scene, and while I still agree with you that it doesn't entirely work, Hook NEVER says anything about killing anybody. He says that they will steal whatever they want, and then later that they will take from the Kingdom. It's unclear if the Kingdom means the general public or the government…

Guesses for cage inhabitants: Rumple, Belle, Tinkerbell, the lost boy whose heart was ripped out, Ariel, or Prince Eric. If Ariel and Eric are in Neverland, then maybe Ariel is on her own rescue mission of sorts.

Eh. His brother just died after basically being betrayed by their king. While it wasn't perfect, Hook's way of mourning works at least somewhat. I don't remember if he actually said they would be killing people, because that's taking it way too far, but the general anger and resentment is understandable.
