Mack's killing rule seems to only apply to humans...which in itself opens a whole different can of worms about how wrong it is...

Who's your number 1
Yeah the only time that trope ever really works for me is when said thing that is impossible is magic and the character claiming it is impossible is one that focuses on the science part of their science fiction universe
I never liked the Dark Wesley arc as much as other people seemed to but I LOVE the storyline with Fitz here. I also think Fitz is more interesting than Wesley in general, if you compare the two as both being Whedon nerd characters who grow into more dark and complex people.
I liked that Mac also sympathized with Fitz, seeing as they've always had a bit of a bromance going on and Mac more than anyone else besides Fitz felt the split between the real world and his "real" world inside the Framework.
I mean I don't think she's really "betrayed" SHIELD since like...Season 1? Season 3 she was being mind controlled by Hive, Season 4 she was off the team for awhile but she never actively acted against their agenda or wishes.
I had a feeling when the twist happened that it was something the writers had planned all season long and held off on using (the way the show only vaguely addressed Fitz’s Framework trauma beforehand, the occasional sudden dark moments from Fitz that got skirted over), but this basically confirms it. I’ve gotta say…
I'm pretty sure only Talbot could've said that line without any tension or drama in the scene immediately breaking. Adrian Pasdar is great.
The part where Evil Fitz “confronts” regular Fitz and regular Fitz is all blubbery and upset and evil Fitz mocks HIMSELF and calls him weak with such disgust...Iain De Caestecker deserves an Emmy for this episode. He was good in Overlord as well but I wanna see him in more movies, the world needs to see his talent!
That definitely should've been Brett Dalton in the Hive getup rather than CGI SquidHead. Then we still get Deathlok shooting Ward, in a way
I think revealing what was inside the bowl was a mistake. I was under the impression that the joke they had going on here was that the big McGuffin of the series would never have the reason for it’s importance revealed, a joke I thought was clever and fit the themes of the show really well. Instead it was revealed…
I do not remember that from the books, and it's definitely not really implied by the show, but damn if that doesn't put everything in a darker light and recontextualize all the morality discussions the series tried to have. I feel like that may not have been the author's intent, but I also kind of wish that it was
I agree on The Cover Is Not The Book, the song is bland but Lin-Manuel's verse is just him musically flexing on everyone and it's great.
Earthbound Beginnings should’ve been on there from the start. Its an NES game that was only released in the west via WiiU VC languishing in the purgatory of that console that Nintendo fans would eat up if they could get it with their online subscription, a game more in-demand than anything they have on Nintendo Switch…
Yeah, like when Esme skis down the mountain in that ridiculous outfit she’s the perfect mix of terrifying and hilarious. The production team has such a great grasp of the tone and style of the series that makes moments like they work
Just before the subtitles appear May mumbles “as if it isn’t already hard enough to understand what they’re saying”, so the joke is that when drink their accents with be too head to understand. It was funny, but it would’ve been funnier if they’d either been harder to understand or using slang that only British would…
If anyone was still not convinced that Caestecker is the best actor on this show the DO SOMETHING scene proves them wrong. That was a chillingly good scene.
This is a great outline for a season that I think would’ve worked as a follow-up to Season 3, where Bojack ends things at his lowest. To do that kind of a storyline now though, after sending him to rehab and giving him improvement in Season 4, wouldn't really makes sense with where the show is going. Also, I don't…
Aaron Paul delivered that line really well.
If Philbert Season 2 even gets made; they might have to pull the plug on the whole thing after this.
