“Leland. Sounds Swedish.”
It a big deal because he does it without having a handy Red Angel suit to open up a wormhole with. Ha Big Sister! I did this without even needing a time crystal! He’s probably been working on that bit of onupmanship for the last decade before he gets a chance to prove it and is in the proper emotional state for a nyah…
I think I agree with pretty much all your comments, but a B- is way too high. Emotionally manipulative, clumsy storytelling, more super-fast illogical decision-making. Now we have a planet full of time crystals, working designs for time machines (the angel and Mudd’s technology), an already-super-powerful AI; going…
Obviously we have at least one episode left where this can magically be resolved and “make sense”. Or maybe they won’t directly resolve it, and it will lead into “Discovery’s wacky time travel sphere-data adventures” for Season 3.
If the service sucks right out of the gate (technical difficulties, irritating UI, etc.), the headlines will write themselves. “We give Disney’s streaming service a D+”
I don’t remember disliking it that much while watching the movie. I think the Winter Solder suit was so great that the difference was glaring when you revisit it.
And then Coulson is completely forgotten about in the films even though he was very clearly at a Congressional hearing in Season 4 of AoS.
The finale of Angel would get my vote for best TV show finale of all time. The av club at one time agreed:
I’d add Community to the list.
Killing Klaue was a mistake.
I’m going to let him completely off the hook for Inhumans. He was playing a character that couldn’t speak, but he also had no budget to fly around and shoot his tuning fork beams, so he literally had nothing to do but glare at people. They also cut off Medusa’s hair (which they couldn’t animate), stranded everyone in…
I’m starting to fear that Zack and some of the commenters will ultimately be proven right and Control will be the genesis of the Borg. I have been hoping like hell that isn’t the direction the show is going to go but it’s seeming more and more unlikely each week.
There’s nothing “stealth” about Anson Mount’s MVP status this season. He’s been knocking everything he’s been given out of the park. He’s been able to sell everything that’s happened to his character without lapsing into goofiness or rote technobabble.
Why does it matter that Section 31 ships are attacking? They have the spore drive, which can take them to any place in the entire universe. If anything, that’s the technology they can never let Control have. With the spore drive, Control would be able to hide anywhere in the universe and build up its forces. When it’s…
Yep, they’re still referring to that. Note that the uniforms are different, and the person behind the window is wearing the cadet trainee badge. I don’t think there’s an implication that he’s going to get his injuries in the battle next ep.
The stretch of episodes where Crichton was “twinned”, having no significant difference between versions except diverging experiences and neither character being designated as “the original” or “the duplicate” was an outstanding bunch of writing.
Me also felt like she spent first season growing out of that, and they they sent her back to square one at beginning of this season. They could take notes from DS9, where Bashir started off as most annoying member of cast and then steadily improved for seven seasons.
There’s just not much to the character -
‘I’m a human who was orphaned and raised by Vulcans.’
ooh - interesting, what about the rest of the crew? Who’s the blue robot lady is she an alien or-?
‘Actually she’s a human with extensive prosthetics and maybe survivor’s guilt’
Ooooh - tell me more!
‘Narh, she’s dead.’
Oh. Who e…
