Dean becoming a demon was somewhat predictable, but I think it's overplayed. The reason several people predicted this was because Jensen said in an interview the ending would be shocking. There are very few endings that could legitimately be "shocking" besides for Dean becoming a demon.

I thought this was a total mess, but a fun mess so I think a B or B- is fair. As you said Oliver, too much teasing and not enough resolution. And the dialogue is just laugh-worthy a lot of the time.

I almost think the show's terrible start has worked to its benefit, in that it can release poor mostly awful episodes now (like the one with Amy Acker and Darkforce) that still get praised because they came after Turn Turn Turn and were not part of the awful start.

My one problem with this: Angel at its best was/is much much better than Agents of Shield at its best.

I'm not buying that we have anything to worry about with Stefan. Between him, Enzo, and Bonnie there are too many stakes. They will find a way to resurrect everyone and probably bring back a few old characters from the Other Side as well.

This show just gets better and better. I too loved the "middle path" they took with Blood. It made perfect sense based on his character. A full redemption would have been cheesy, they still had to acknowledge that this was a man who thought unleashing Slade and an army of mutant warriors on Starling would have a…

yeah, even though it was sort of awful, I was still rooting for Mary. I felt bad for her mom's/Scotland's situation and at least understood that the show was trying to portray her being forced into those actions.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's still more to come on that though. I don't think that's it at all. Clearly there is more there imo.

Oh, and also, how refreshing was it to not have love triangle nonsense? I was skeptical of that interview with the executive producer who pretty much said the love triangle was over, but this episode seemed to somewhat confirm it.

I agree about the ridiculous pace of the plotting. It's insane how much exposition this episode involved. That being said, C+ is a harsh grade:

This gets an A- for me only because of Laurel. This strikes me as a classic example of the show overreaching with her. Ollie shouldn't step back from the brink because of her…it's simply not earned. Either Diggle, Felicity,or Thea should have brought him back. Heck, Felicity saying those same words works SO Much…

This was an A episode imo. Last week I was very worried about this show, especially filling Rebekah's shoes as the other female characters didn't seem up to the task. This week was a marked improvement. Even Hayley wasn't terrible.

This to me was New Girl at its best. It was a bit of a throwback episode to earlier seasons. A lot of heart behind all the weirdness with the oddly touching sentiment making its way through.

I didn't think it was terrible or anything, just that the appeal seemed rather limited and I'm not sure how that concept can hold up over the course of even just 1 20+ episode season. The only character/actor who really seemed to carry his own was David, not surprising as the actor was also great on the Vampire…

I don't know. The problem for me right now is that I've become VERY WARY of a Ward redemption arc, which I'm just not buying. I understand they want to play up his conflicted feelings, but this epi didn't help with the Ward/Skye nonsense and him basically seeming like a manipulated Patsy more than a guy who made his…

I really really really disliked the change from the book to Jon just casually knowing Bran is alive and north of the Wall. That's just plain stupid to me. Totally against character for Jon to know that and not be moving hell and high water to stop Bran/protect him. Also ruins a lot of the dramatic effect of those…

While I'm not sure Mary was in fact "in love" with Bash, I think it's wrong to be so dismissive of her feelings towards him. She was using him at first, but it's clear she is attracted to him and has feelings for him.

yeah…no…the Travelers didn't get more interesting lol. They are just another in a long line of villains who have the most confusing motivations ever. I had no idea what Markos was doing or trying to do or why I should care outside of the impact him leaving had on the Other Side (the only interesting thing to come…

Castleroy and Julian are having a neck and neck race for who is most suspcious and most definitely feeds on women in the woods in their free time. There is no way Castleroy is that nice. I'm not buying it for a second.

I'm not one of those who always needs to get into the grading….but B?!?!?! Seriously!?!?!? This was an UNBELIEVABLE episode. It's a joke that it gets a B. You also don't give Roy's arc enough credit. It ties in perfectly with the ending with Slade. I particularly liked the touch of Ghost Thea begging Roy to kill…
