Yeah, I thought this exact same thing. And even for a CW show the cues were a little too frequent.

This was so… meh. It occurs to me that there is not a single plot point covered in this episode that I did not predict at the end of last season (well, except the Katherine's blood being the cure; it was still predictable, but only with information from this season). Fully explaining Qetsiyah's arc was critical,…

I read some magazine in a dentist's office ages ago that walked through the CW's business plan and explained how they managed to keep the doors open and even turn a profit despite their seemingly abysmal ratings. I can't recall a lot of it now, but the one thing I do remember is that it had a LOT to do with having…

Nice try, Dyess-Nugent.

Yeah, I was good with the episode up until the ending. It really didn't serve much purpose letting either of them get away, and I'm sure Reese could have nailed the prosecutor nonlethally and subdued the defense attorney so they could both be arrested. I guess maybe he thought they'd establish reasonable doubt for one…

It's probably because Klaus kills everyone who gets too close to his baby sister.

I literally thought that's where they were going with that, with how bashful Shaw was about saying Carter could borrow it any time (does she even let Reese borrow her guns?!)

Since they deal with aliens, and extradimensional entities, I'd always assumed the "Homeland" was referring to Earth. It's true we've seen an abundance of (presumably) American operatives,
but I can't recall much of anything suggesting the US has undue influence over the organization in general. I mean, if the MCU is…

How crazy can we get in this corner? Cause I got a theory that the machine is going to 3D print itself a body, with a brain that can still interface with the world's electronics. Naturally it gets its own spinoff.

Wait, is S.H.I.E.L.D. a US agency in the movie universe?

Considering S.H.I.E.L.D. started in the stratosphere, I doubt ABC would be thinking of cancelling it for getting a 3.1. Those kind of ratings are amazing for a new series. Especially one going up against NCIS (during an event episode where a major character departs, no less) and The Voice. If it can maintain at about…

Introducing the Weekly: Rename This Show Thread!

Okay, this show has actually got to start dismantling these elite criminal organizations at some point… I didn't think this was a bad episode, but it wasn't significantly better than the premiere, to me. No Root makes for a very sad Nanashi, and the mystery involving the Number, while ending with that spectacular…

I think it works for this kind of show, because it's relatively light-hearted and, let's face it, comic books basically do this same thing. But I may also be immune to this particular style of writing because I used to do double takes all the time while watching Eureka.

I actually thought the tag—a clear reach to ensure as many people from the Pilot stick around— was the worst part of this episode. But then I don't think Chloe Bennett is too pretty to be a hacker (seriously, why are you hoping for a more stereotypical character, Mr. Sava?!), or that any of the actors were doing…

I hope they do this, sooooo bad.

I think that was a significant step up on the pilot. Still a little obvious, with the dialogue and plotting, but they seem to know where they're going with the husband, and they're being far more realistic than I expected with regards to actually complying with Reddington's demands. I got quite the chuckle out of the…

Good to know. While I'm asking for advice on anti-hero dramas… Can anyone say whether Sons of Anarchy is worth it? That and The Shield are easiest for me to start with as their both on Netflix, but I hear Sons has gotten kinda lame; is it still worth checking out?

What I found really remarkable about this last half of the season— and I'm surprised so few people have readily discussed it— is that the same character flaws and moral compromises we see Walt exhibit are present in the supporting characters. And it's ultimately partially their fault for keeping the insane train…

That and "I'm Nolan 2 Point… No" made me groan loudly.
