Not sure I get the "AV Club was wrong about…" categories. Like, the review of Age of Ultron was pretty lukewarm but still positive, so does that mean the commentariat thinks the film was underrated, or that it should have been shredded? And the episode reviews for Agents of SHIELD have had pretty high grades this…

Even better, before Croatoan just decided to stop being evil, Audrey was going to turn evil for him, because… reasons, I guess? She's become such a doormat that losing Nathan means she stops fighting for the hundreds of people still in Haven? When she first suggested taking on all the aether I thought she had a…

So, Haven has finally ended… By killing off its best and most sympathetic character, having the bad guy just decide to stop being bad because none of the good guys are smart enough to stop him, and doubling down yet again on the profound creepiness and dubious consensuality of the Nathan/Audrey relationship. …

Even if you ignore the imminent attack business, imagine that you're on your evening commute, about to leave the train station, and suddenly some guy who isn't even wearing a station uniform bars your way. Wouldn't you scream bloody murder?

In fairness, it's pretty clear that Alison was planning to escape from the hospital. I don't think she ever expected her ruse to pass even the most cursory investigation. She just needed it to buy her enough time to throw the CIA off the scent of the attack and let her get away.

I read an article just the other day by a former combat medic who said, basically, that the idea of aiming for a flesh wound is a fantasy created by TV. No one is a good enough marksman to know exactly where their bullet will pass, and the odds of hitting a major blood vessel and bleeding out are pretty high, even in…

Not only that, but Saul basically told the guy "if you can't tell us anything about the attack, we'll hand you back to the Germans who will throw in a dark hole again." And then left him alone in a room with a window that opens. It was insanely stupid and in a just world he'd be out of a job if not facing civil…

I think there are two levels for the writing for Fisk. On the level of explaining his backstory and worldview, the show does extremely well. The fact that he has a capacity for tenderness and friendship that may even exceed the hero's was interesting and well done. But as you say, on the level of being a persuasive…

Fisk, I thought, was simultaneously the best thing about Daredevil and its biggest problem. He's a fantastic and impeccably well-drawn character, but as you say his master plan is vague and contradictory (my favorite comment on the season was the person pointing out that Fisk would be a hell of a lot scarier, not to…

You know, it's interesting, while I was watching Sense8 I thought it was an interesting, entertaining mess. But the further I get away from it, the more its problems fade into the background and I'm left with everything that I found exciting and engaging. It's had a lot more staying power than many other shows that…

I think the thing with Jessica Jones is that the writing on the level of an individual episode or scene is rarely more than OK. The pilot is a brilliant hour of television, but after that there isn't anything that even comes close. So the episode grades it's been getting seem pretty fair to me. But the whole of the…

I was a little surprised to see Daredevil on the list at all (and I say this as someone who thinks the praise for Flash is wildly overstated). It would definitely belong on a list of the best TV moments, for things like the hallway fight or the episode focused on Wilson Fisk, but the season as a whole was pretty…

Whereas you are clearly incapable of grasping that you've behaved appallingly, inexcusably, and irrationally. It's sad, but I guess you'll have to complain to your kindergarten teacher about it.

OK, I have to ask this: does what you're doing make the slightest bit of sense to you? Do you honestly believe that being spoiled for a TV show makes it OK to abandon all norms of civilized behavior, to swear and make threats at a person? Because I have to inform you, it really doesn't. I'm not the one in the wrong…

Or, you could just have seen that this entire thread was about the show, and chosen not to read it, just like I've been doing with every thread in the WoT that is about a show that I don't want spoiled. But god forbid you should take responsibility for your own behavior.

I think it's probably true that JJ could have worked better with ten episodes. After Jessica loses her motivation to keep Kilgrave alive, it takes too long for her to get around to killing him, and the fake-out with Luke doesn't quite make up for that. But the season's plot has been so strong and compelling until…

This weekend, I finally got around to watching Jessica Jones. On the whole, I liked it a lot, though I could wish that the trailers did not spell out the season's premise and plot so completely, because the show itself actually works hard to build up to the revelation of who Kilgrave is and what he did to Jessica. …

And then Marvel had to go and ruin it by releasing that scene a year ahead of the movie, so that you basically had nothing to look forward to by the time you bought your ticket.

Yeah, the last moment, where he picks up the hammer, is powerful. Everything before it is muddled and incoherent, like most of the movie's plot.

Why does it matter if he did it on purpose? Surely what's important is that he's killed dozens of them and is going to pay nothing in reparations?
