Not with the Oscars, because there is no reason to care about who wins this Hollywood wankfest. The Academy is not the arbiter of quality. No one should need the Academy to validate their opinions. The spectacle is the only thing anyone should show up for.

I guess I'll repeat myself - If all someone watches the Oscars for is the show, then it doesn't matter to them which movies win or which ones get nominated. It's entirely irrelevant to why they're watching the show! La La Land getting an award instead of Moonlight doesn't change the jokes or the lavish production

I would say that, yes. I don't know why anyone who only watches the Super Bowl would care about which team wins, unless that opinion is based exclusively on the teams' performances in the game. But with the Oscars, it's not like they can stop the ceremony to show all of the nominated films. Why the fuck should someone

Anyone watching the Oscars for just the spectacle wouldn't give a shit about what wins or what gets nominated anyway. That it's little more than a Hollywood wankfest doesn't matter to them.

But that makes you a football fan, not a Super Bowl fan.

There are "fans" of the Oscars? How does an award show have fans?

All these award shows are just industry wankfests anyway.

"Solving the mystery of the blue planet" has a lot to do with Hive.

I think it ends with "The Frenemy of My Enemy" when Coulson surrendered to Mack and Bobbi. He doesn't fight Gonzales and his men after that, and the focus shifts to how different characters want to handle Afterlife.

Same with Dominic Cooper on Agent Carter.

Well, the "Real SHIELD" stuff ended in late April, but the season also came back two months later from its winter hiatus because of Agent Carter. The arcs themselves weren't as clearly delineated, but it did follow a series of smaller conflicts that led up to a larger conflict that becomes the focus at the tail end of

Ruth Negga had to be killed off because she's busy. She had her commitments to Preacher and movies like Loving and Warcraft. Similar problem kept Dominic Cooper out of most of the second season of Agent Carter.

The main difference between the structure of Seasons 2 and 4 is that this season bothered to give each mini-arc a title. First the stuff with Whitehall, then the "Real SHIELD" business, and culminates with a conflict with the Inhumans at Afterlife.

Keep in mind - Kyle MacLachlan's Cal wasn't the Big Bad of S2. He even teamed up with SHIELD at the end to take on the final boss, the strong woman who propped up his goofy mad science adventures.

I always assumed Aida is the Big Bad. The Superior, Radcliffe, Senator Nadeer, probably even Eli Morrow and Lucy Bauer from the Ghost Rider arc are all mini-bosses the SHIELD team has to face before her. Given how this episode ends for her and how she acted in last week's episode, I wouldn't be surprised if the final

They were sent to recover an 0-8-4. But I don't think it was weird at all. It's intentionally unimportant. Coulson also said he doesn't remember what it was he was there to recover, so you could even look at the flashbacks as if they were Coulson's memories.

All of these things you've done, all of the energy spent, the hatred, and you know what the funny thing about it is? I have no idea who the hell you are. I've been on hundreds of missions in my time. This one you're so upset about… I was sent to retrieve an object. If I'm being honest, I don't even remember what it

Keep in mind that these kids weren't even 10 years old when The Osbournes went off the air almost 12 years ago.

He added the part about Richard Gere.

I wonder if it was still Neil Patrick Harris in Kenan and Kel Go to White Castle.
