"UN-LIM-I-TED SHOTS, MU-THA-FUCK-AHHHH!!!"

This may have shown up in the comments already, but just in case: the answer to this, as to all such hypothetical questions, is BATMAN.

Blue alien with only a top half? Shaper of Worlds, all the way.

Yeah. I thought at first there was an argument in favor of verisimilitude to be made here, but there really isn't. Given the mental gymnastics that have gone into showing that the characters' fashion choices are merely wildly implausible rather than factually impossible, there really should be more cool

Filming a naval battle between two old sailing warships must be insanely expensive to even try on a cable budget. Even the old Erroll Flynn movies seemed to spend most of their time on land running around jungle sets.

Not having seen this, all I can say is I hope it leads to a revival of interest in Jack Webb's old radio show, Pat Novak, For Hire, which had the most hilariously hard-boiled film noir banter I've ever heard.

I think the "lost time" aspect is a tiny bit of a cheat if they were really doing multiple simultaneous perspectives, but it's a decent idea in a show that needs more of them, so no complaints.

Alright, I'm giving this one a "well done." Fighting was better choreographed, an unheard of TWO Marvel references, and a classic Mission:Impossible setup. This is a sustainable direction for the show to go in if it wants to keep it up. It may even get back some of the audience it threw away last fall.

But there's a reason why 999,999,999,999 of those times, they show Nikita or Hannibal from the A-Team or whomever looking significantly at the tray of tools, or at the end of the scene do a close up of the tray with a gap between the other tools where the tweezers used to be, or actually show the character palming

Most of it could be explained by his internet search history and credit card statements as well.

My only regret about The Cape is that it ended before the Carnival of Crime shot him out of a cannon at a bad guy.

The source was deducible, but I don't think the action of taking them was shown. In this kind of action TV, that's still pretty darn amateurish.

I think we were being asked to believe that Coulson snuck the tweezers off of the operating table in his first scene, although I don't remember them showing it.

I finally got around to it too. It was a fantastic sentiment to end on that even though everyone's older and they've spent all that time together and they can't really have anything new to say to each other, they still want to go back and do it again.

I can't imagine Robert Osborne treating The Last of the Barrymores that way. Like she was some common Baldwin.

They're trying to set it up so that C.E.N.T.I.P.E.D.E. is being run by a rogue faction in S.H.I.E.L.D., though. Some entity that has infinite resources and technological expertise and knows what the team is going to do next the moment they tell their supervisors what they're going to do. Someone who could, upon

The crazy thing about the warehouse fight isn't even the lack of guns. To me, it's that the Agents of C.E.N.T.I.P.E.D.E. were absolutely winning. They stabbed Mike and were just beating the paste out of the rest of them when Mike knocked one guy down. That's it. One guy fell down.

I was actually thinking about Garth Marenghi's Darkplace when someone mentioned the budgeting on this show. If the second half of the season features long swathes of slow-motion because the episodes are running short, we'll know they're in trouble.

Right, but, all due respect, us not knowing the story, and I mean AT ALL, is already bad at this point. Furthermore, I've now seen this group of writers' capabilities. I have absolutely no confidence that even WHEN they finally tear off the curtain and reveal the whole picture, around Michaelmas of 2016, that it

"People forgetting it was on" seems like a problem in and of itself. I don't know when or how these decisions get made, but last week might have been an inauspicious time for a rerun, given that they were coming off of two weeks of gains.
