That probably has something to do with how clean that jungle is.

I imagine, after the first season finale, that Monroe actually is in love with Miles. Not just because Neville made the observation that Monroe has a "near sexual fixation" on the guy, or whatever, but also Monroe's lengthy speech about how "everything he did, he did for" Miles.

And euuugh.

imdb is Wikipedia with even less editing sanctions. It's basically meaningless.

"In a season of television, one of the most satisfying moments is early in the season—usually in the first four to six episodes—when a show reaches the part in its narrative that it clearly wanted to get to from the get-go. Let’s call it a first act climax,"

This was a potential B+/A- set-up that was brought down by some really poor writing. Characterisation of the guest stars was off (what exactly is Scorch's motivation? He wants to use his superpowers to be famous, but he doesn't want to be a super hero, and he also hates the various clandestine super organisations, and…

He was cast for this season, we've not seen him before.

I was surprised by how bland Austin Nichols was. John From Cincinatti proved that he's capable of better. (Strong chemistry with Skye though — though if the tabloids are to be believed, perhaps not acting).

" Man, I was so excited to see Shannon Luccio (who had a major arc on season two ofThe O.C.) in the opening credits, but she was very much one-and-done."

Enjoying Bartholomew, even if he's another extension of the Heavenly Bureaucracy theme that they've been pushing since at least 'It's A Terrible Life' back in Season 4.

Buckner and Ross-Leming are kind of trite/shite, I agree. Most of their episodes have been pretty mediocre, excepting 'A Little Slice Of Kevin' (the second and final Mrs Tran episode from last season) — but its strength might be partially down to being an important arc episode, which tend to be more heavily moderated…

I just call her Teen Mom, which led to some confusion from my housemates when I yelled her name at the screen.

Not a lot I liked about this episode, though Regina is awesome of course (she's seen a significant improvement this season, no?) but I did enjoy Belle's conversations with Gold. They're just decent and well considered in a way that Once Upon A Time often won't let the show demonstrate, since it's a show that runs on…

And I'm probably in a minority here, but I like her blue blazer.

They said that _maybe_ it was a suicide pact, and that his sentence was commuted. He shot his brother for reasons that are unclear.

"In case you cared, Leo had a brother who killed himself, and in case we didn’t get that from the scene at the cemetery, well, Mike is going to come back and explain it all to us. "

Really enjoying both Jafar and the Red Queen. Those two actors are having a ball with the roles, and it's incredibly entertaining to watch.

Nope. Guess they don't give a rat's arse about tha—
*is shot*

Persnickety spelling wars on the Internet? Seriously?

This season's really not afraid to be needlessly weird, is it? The Hallowe'en thing was completely random an unnecessary, but nicely creepy. And there were other touches in earlier episodes, like the eye-patch Russian(?) bounty hunter.
