Indeed. I feel like it is the fault of Marvel jumping in too eagerly to the 'let's make a TV series!' idea. They wanted to get something on the small screen but at the same time Cap 2 was coming to shake everything up, forcing them to spin the wheels for too long. That said I haven't loathed the earlier episodes as…

I was genuinely stressed out throughout this episode. Fantastically done. I really think AoS is finally hitting its stride.

CURSE YOUR SUDDEN BUT INEVITABLE BETRAYAL!

'Prostitutes? Plural?'

I know I'm not meant to enjoy Agents of SHIELD but dammit, I really do. It is nothing great but I also don't think it is as bad as the lashing it gets on this site every episode. And damn did I enjoy the most recent episode (the best to date). I am quietly hopeful that it is slowly finding its feet.

Also I hate to be that guy but can I just say that the finale missed out on references and callbacks to some of the show's most fantastic in-jokes - no 'Let's Go to the Mall', no
'Intervention', no Punchy or 'Classic Schmozby!', no red cowboy boots in the entire final season! (Granted the cowboy boots did burn in…

I feel like she, same as all the other characters, clings to this desperate notion of their core friendships without realizing that basically none of them really work with each other - her 'he made me do it' struck me as an almost kneejerk reaction to seeing the whole thing come crashing down around her. For that…

That's not a review, THIS is a review!

I don't know when Marnie became, in my opinion, the most likeable and sympathetic character on this show but she has. I think it was a couple of weeks ago when handsome guitar playing man was trying to find the right word for her voice and she suggested 'grating'. She's been down and out so many times now that she…

Seriously. Also why drag the Boss into this mess of an article? It isn't even a relevant comparison.

Makes sense. Here I thought they were going to go with a surprise ending and kill all the characters off in a freak volcano explosion

I don't really see how it could mean anything other than The Mother is going to die - it's something that has been hinted at ever since The Time Travellers, if not before. If it is indeed the case I gotta give it up to the writers for sticking to their guns and not giving us a purely happy ending that may in the end…

Bruce Springsteen - Darlington County

What? I ah…I-I-I don't know…what that means

Shakespeare in Love beat The Thin Red Line. Think about that for a minute.

The end tag was amazing and the episode was great. I'm really just so happy that they have managed to put the show back on the right track again. I'm just hoping that we can get more Shirley and Dean Pelton storylines before the season is up because they have been somewhat underused this season (maybe for the best in…

Three of my favourite films of the year - Before Midnight, Blue is the Warmest Color and Inside Llewyn Davis - were almost completely shut out. These were three of the most beautiful films you could find anywhere in 2013 and deserved a place. And yet, I'm always excited for the Oscars, even when they hurt me so bad.…

We should give him an award for his various *adjusts tie* uh…civic…uh…

For some reason I ended up reading the comments section of the Wall Street Journal's report on this and it made me so sad and disgusted that I had to get back to the AV Club to make some sense of this loss. Here's why PSH was so important to me. He was a man of craft and artistry beyond basic Hollywood restrictions.…

Great use of the dramatic zoom-in throughout the episode. Made it feel like the show itself was going 'HOLY SHIT THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW' along with the rest of us
