Yeah, but I feel like this tone is struck with basically any post 90s comic book about SHIELD as well. Take Secret Avengers, for instance. In that book, SHIELD is clearly working with a lot of dangerous individuals and doing something pretty despicable by wiping the memories of its operatives, and yet most of the

I maintain that this show has always been decent, but this episode did hint at taking it to another level. The biggest problem the first half of the season had was the obsession with "What happened to Coulson!" when no one, even the mild fans like myself, cared. But the character beats have always been there— the Fitz

He originally put together a huge crew, but their plane crashed.

Well, technically the dude they were after was "relevant," and we'd confirmed through previous ISA/Northern Lights activity that (Inter)national numbers handled. We still haven't seen them protect an irrelevant number outside of NY. But here's hoping next episode they're handed Kalinda Sharma's number and a ridiculous

Major props for that article. I feel really bad, though— all this time and I never realized Jonathan Nolan is related to Christopher Nolan. No wonder this series invokes so many comparisons to The Dark Knight.

Set out the time to watch it last night. It was indeed about a C, but it has the potential for improvement. Much like Teen Wolf, it mostly depends on how crazy it decides to go. If they follow the trajectory of the novels then there could be some very interesting stuff coming up. And now, since I started a blog for

I actually read about five of the Otherworld books and was pleasantly surprised they didn't follow the trend set by Laurell K. Hamilton's urban fantasy, which is really just tons of orgies with a plot haphazardly thrown in. Not that there's always anything wrong with that… I would love it if they incorporated some of

I'm going to miss the mess out of this show, but that was about as perfect a finale as I could have hoped for. This entire season did a fantastic job at tying up loose ends and giving every character a sense of closure, or at least a sense of progress through their series long arc. I really wish they could've had a

I was not a fan of the Collin arc, but the later half of this half season really brought the show back to its roots and this finale was theperfect epilogue to Jenna's development over the course of the series. So yeah, basically an A. And a tearful goodbye to Mrs. Iungerich. Your presence in the show will be missed,

Well I feel stupid now.

When I heard Slade's voice I sat straight the f$*# up! Argh, I'm so mad I didn't watch this live and have the opportunity to freak out with other people on Twitter. And I hate Twitter. I'm glad to see they managed to work the Christmas theme in there a little without going overboard. The nod to A Christmas Carol

Yeah, she's going full Britta with that.

This is definitely one of the most amazing arcs I've ever seen in a TV show. There's no way this could be less than an A. I was a little puzzled over the decision to sideline Fusco before the HR arc really kicked into high gear, since he kicked off everything with that organization, but I went with it because Carter's

Why is there a picture of 12 Years a Slave?! You trying to say all slavery dramas look alike?!

I-I actually enjoyed this. I'm kind of glad I didn't drop the show after last week's terrible episode, because this one really dug in deep with the absurdity of the premise and made it work for the show. And Keen actually got to do more than look depressed because one of the men in her life is lying and manipulating

Yay, more Cassidy Freeman!

B-.

Honestly, the CW has really moved away from the teen angle a lot these past few years. Beauty and the Beast, Hart of Dixie, The Originals, and the aforementioned Arrow, Nikita and Supernatural sometimes mine some of the same themes, but are meant for appeal to more massive audiences. Of course, it's been kind of a

There's also Supernatural, which is doing pretty good for a show almost a decade old.

"Having Fonseca around has always done this show more harm than good"
