"One Man. Three Girls. Ten Million Zombies. Sometimes Family is Whomever Hasn't Been Eaten Yet."

I was also mad that Judith is still around. Not because I'm advocating baby-murder, but this show consistently refuses to engage with the most difficult and interesting moments from the comics. They've spared Judith, they softened up Lori's death, didn't cut off Rick's hand. The show doesn't have to be exactly like…

I think Wendy Crowe might actually be that smart, but is, as yet, unwilling to get her hands dirty. She still has the illusion of being able to return to her reasonably legit life in Miami when her brothers are done fucking around in Kentucky. I am intensely curious to see what she does when the Brothers Crowe…

I don't think it's magic, either, I just chalk the whole notion of "super advanced Asgardian technology" up to voodoo, because that's what it would look like to us, right? Maybe that's why Shepherd Book was so upset? He was like, "We should let him die," and the Asgardians were all, "Eh, we do this all the time, it…

I've been wondering about Coulson's secret life since the pilot, when his Union Station confrontation with Mike Peterson had to end up all over Youtube. Right? There's no way that wasn't everywhere in the immediate aftermath. And ditto for his trip through the hub. I kept waiting from some background drone to do a…

The real reason they keep Rock Hardmeat on the team: He's a home run machine.

Aw, no, that movie sucks, and has disturbing misogynist overtones. Basically I'd just like to see a Thor movie about anyone BUT Thor.

I mean, again, it's just such a wasted opportunity to use Coulson to tease out larger problems at SHIELD. I'd get Fury's desperation to save him if it came about that Coulson was the only person Fury trusted implicitly, so he brought him back and then gave him a job that basically puts him outside the day to day…

You're not the only one. For one glorious moment after Thor 2 ended, I imagined living in a world where the movie I just saw actually about Chris O'Dowd trying to woo Natalie Portman right as her asshole superhero ex returns to Earth. And I liked Thor 2 just fine, but I would've loved a movie where a superhero is a…

Everyone's looking for LMD/Vision proof and disappointed it's not there, but they kind of hinted at Asgard? Fury "moved heaven and earth" to save Coulson, and at one point Coulson saw the cosmos. I'm starting to lean more toward Asgard voodoo as the answer, not LMD/Vision.

"Why is S.H.I.E.L.D. so wildly incompetent?"

At some point (Comic Con, maybe?) one of the producers said the show is not as expensive as people think. Well, I no longer think this show is expensive, so.

I wish this show was like Chuck. Chuck had a light-hearted tone, which ABC seems to want, and was prone to silly-bordering-on-wacky events, but it had a solid ensemble that viewers cared about. And they mostly successfully managed to combine cases of the week with serialized season-long story lines. Watching Agents of…

Chun Li

This was the episode when Skye officially hit the bottom of my list. They have one too many characters, and I vote she gets launched out of the airlock.

Actually I get the feeling they assume the audience isn't familiar with anything and are trying not to make things comic book complicated. They toss out names like "the Hub" and "Triskelion", but they invest no time in providing context. They just hand-wave everything for the sake of simplicity instead of actually…

At this point, I'm just hanging around for the explanation of Coulson's survival. Once that's known, I'm done.

Dennis was born upper class.

This episode is proof there is no such thing as a bad Sunny episode. Just varying degrees of good, great, and fucking stupendous. (This one was pretty good.)

SHIELD has the stupidest disposal protocols ever.
