Thanks, makes sense.

That’s really reaching to justify lazy writing IMHO. The easy prison escape, Sally’s inconsistent redemption, the dad’s disinterest in making Barry at for his daughter’s murder, three sloppy plot details that while not ruining the season but it did make it less enjoyable for me. It’s as if Hader knew how he wanted to…

I think I need closed captioning for this show, because I didn’t hear either of those lines (or the accents messed with my understanding).

💯 %. 

Well to be fair, Mary’s costume does disguise her fairly well.

I don’t think it’s his style either. But Rebecca is pretty powerful and connected, and I’d be surprised if the rumor mill about Edwin hadn’t worked its way back around to her.

It actually made Nate look like an idiot for not getting the obvious fact that she was messing with him, but I guess the point was just more that he is scared of her 

Watched it a second time, and it was Trent Crimm the independent who mentions the workplace misconduct, not Higgins. 

Yeah, while I usually prefer when a show gives its audience more credit for figuring things out, I feel like this could have used a little more connection in the actual script.

As was so often the case, the Simpsons introduced me to the concept of a Polish joke.

It’s been years and years since I heard a Polish joke. I lived in a heavily Polish-American area as a kid and they were nonstop. In hindsight, the jokes were mostly told by Polish kids. 

I really liked Higgins’ heartfelt warning to Rebecca as she left for the meeting. It really felt like an indication for how much their relationship has grown.

Last week Nate realized that Rupert was actively trying to be a bad influence, and that was the impetus for him quitting. He realized he has a good thing with Jade and that was more important to him than his dream job.

Loved those bits though the funniest thing in this episode hands down was Jade asking Nate if he wanted to help her Polish family screw in lightbulbs & then asking straightfaced why he thought that was funny.

As critical as I’ve been of the show, I liked this one well enough. I think there may be a perspective problem here with your criticisms of Nate and Keeley’s stories. I don’t see them as one-episode conflicts that are resolved neatly, so much as the payoff to what’s been going on all season.

agree with all of that. and with the right budget and script i think Inhumans could’ve worked, but obviously that wasn’t the case. I’m glad Anson Mount got to play a more proper Blackbolt in MoM at least.

WS is top-tier Marvel, for sure. I don’t consider it the absolute top film, but it’s one I can’t complain about very much. (What a bar, right?!)

Interesting how many people myself included think The Winter Soldier was the best MCU film.

Inhumans was meant to have been a proper movie and cinema release once upon a time before being relegated to a TV show. I believe that they were intended to be the cinematic Marvel replacement for the X-Men because a certain someone wanted the X-Men superseded as at the time, Marvel didn’t have their film rights.

Gutsy choice, but I am not sure why I am surprised at this point.
