Sometimes I think OUAT is really Heroes 2.0 : it has an infinite playground, an infinite number of characters & worlds it can play with, and yet the show keeps coming back to the same characters doing the same thing, switching from bad to good to bad again, going from Storybrooke to the Forest to Storybrooke, and so…

Nah, I'm with you on that. I didn't hate the first season, but mostly because vikings, and because Kat Winnick. However, I (and most of the viewers around me, for that matter) never felt it was a good show.

It was fun, up until it turned into the "Skye is the most important character of the show" 1/4h. That said, it was still "turn your brain off" fun, not "great tv show" fun, since every single SHIELD episode since the pilot has been dependent on Coulson & co being incompetent at their job (and everybody else being even…

Yup. Produced last season, as evidenced by the Garcia tag, by Kate Micucci's presence, and obviously by the fact that Burt & Virginia weren't the main focus of the episode.

Expected the worse, came out of it pleasantly surprised. The "Treasure Island" prequel bit works, so far, the cast is likeable (at least, most of it. I laughed my ass off at the iiiiveul pirate group, with their silly looks, and their overacting), and it's really watchable if you're into the pirate genre. Nothing…

"Our Sherlock is not a detective story, it's a story about a detective" - Moffat

I think Moffat, on Sherlock, just like on Who, is damned if he does, damned if he doesnt.
This show has taken a life of its own, and with each episode, the crew has to please so many different people, that it either pisses some off, or just feels disjointed.

Ah, but if Fitz/Coulson & co hadn't been there in the first place, the conditions of the device test would probably have been very different, and there would probably be no Blizzard. Granted, it's a very indirect responsibility, and one initiated by the students, but still : no Fitz = no Blizzard. /nitpicking

So let me get this straight. Once again, Shield Team Sucks's actions were more or less responsible for the creation of yet another superpowered baddie (Gravitron, Blizzard, "remote-controlled Deathlok"….) ?

What's gone wrong ? BBC interference, conflicts with some members of the producing team, a desire to reach a new (US) audience, fanboys loudly complaining that series six was too complicated & convoluted (which quickly escalated to Moffat leaving social media before series 7), big anniversary plans, Matt leaving,…

I find it fascinating that, after 3 seasons focused on the recurring/background themes of lost memories, of people remembering/forgetting the past/others/events of their lives, of the power of memories, and so on, Moffat tied it all up with Eleven, "the Doctor who forgets".

Well, the concept with that big "let's film in the States" thing was to help promote Who on BBC America, and try to make it as big in the US as it is in the UK, all the while toning down the timey-wimey overarching plots that made season 6 hard to grasp for non-regular viewers.

Well Moffat only wrote two episodes (three if you count The Snowmen) out of the six, and two of the other three were written by Chibnall (whose character dev. is always on the douchy/uneven/weak side, and overall writing tends to be messy, unstructured & full of holes). Also didn't help that the BBC wanted bigger,…

After all these years, I just still can't fathom what can be deemed "great" or even "good" in CoE.

What niche is it carving, really ? Cos everything Shield is doing has been done before, by tons of other shows that have been more entertaining & consistent, even through their first season. Whether it's spy show, ensemble show, superhero show, action-adventure show or even Whedon-supervised show, there has been…

"It also seemed to smell a littttle too much like an Xbox One and PS4 commercial"
Yeah, at times I wondered if P&S weren't trying to do some product placement for their upcoming South Park/fantasy Xbox game.
Twas an amusing ep, though.

So far, there are 3 eps scheduled til the winter break, if I'm not mistaken, with probably some Coulson reveals in the Nov 26th ep. written by the showrunners.
Or at least I hope there will be, cos there's a one week gap between that one and the following one, and then (if no additional eps are added in December) it's…

Well, given the fact that the "Shield is evil" thingy plays in Captain America 2, which doesn't come out until April, I'd say they better pull the trigger on Tahiti or Sky's mother before the Christmas break, or at the very least during February sweeps….

Eh… from the first three weeks of ratings, you could see the show would be along the lines of No Ordinary Family, ratings-wise. In fact, last week, AOS fell down lower than NOF at the same point of its season (AOS : 7.15M ; NOF : 7.89M), and this week looks to be roughly equal to NOF 6.69M.
If it keeps following NOF…

I'd say Chuck had a better sense of fun and a stronger identity than Shield. If anything, Shield doesn't seem to know if they wanna be Chuck without the humor, Alias without the rhythm, or a Marvel show without the superheroes.
