B is about right. Pretty mediocre for all the "aftershock" they had to deal with after the midseason finale. I don't blame Bennett as much as the writing- Skye had nothing to do all episode but cry and whine and that's not a good look for anyone.

I thought this was rather boring but as the Third Man is my favorite movie ever as well as that them, I'll bump up the episode for playing it.
How did Penguin find the farmhouse again? Did the show seriously just explain it as Penguin overhearing Falcone talk to Loeb on the phone and say "the farm is safe"? Really? How does that give away the location? So is Falcone really not only talking to the police commisioner right in front of Penguin about super…
I'm not really a crazy Whedonite lol, but I am a Season 5-nite. I will defend everything about it, and I agree it's the best out of Angel/Buffy.
I was one of those who LOVED this finale, and in fact, all of Angel Season 5 at the time it aired. And that opinion has only strengthened over time. One of the best finales of all time. Everything is so on-point.
If there's one thing this show knows how to do, and do very well, it's the cliffhangers before a break. Damn. You got me again Arrow. You would think it would be an obvious story beat to hit considering this show loves aping Batman so much, but I'll be damned if Arrow didn't get me again. I almost feel like the…
I was so glad that kiss happened. Not only because I'm a heterosexual male, but I was worried I was just forcing sexual tension onto scenes between 2 beautiful women that wasn't there. Glad I, and many others, weren't just misreading that crackling tension between Clarke and Lexa.
It's honestly not that much different than some of the shit you'd see on the Mentalist and other similar shows. Faustus uses his psychological "skills" to put you at ease and relax. He gets to the heart of what makes you tick, uses it as an entry point, and then the ring does the rest of the work.
This criticism is way too harsh imo. Of course the finale is going to spend a lot of time on Howard Stark…he's a major plot point and protagonist for the whole season. It's his inventions that began this mission for Agent Carter. Of course they are going to resolve that for the season, if not the series.
I can't get over how stupid and silly Fish's plotline is. She should have been dead episodes ago. Why does the doctor boss care about that stupid henchman who is stuck downstairs again? Why not just kill Fish, let them kill that pointless underling, and then be back to the status quo? This whole thing is terrible.
Pretty much agree with the review. This was a great episode built on a terrible awful foundation. If Katrina's heel turn had made any sort of sense and wasn't just a blatant hatchet job, this could have been A material. But the Katrina stuff drags it down to a B. None of the scenes involving her made any kind of…
I agree. But at the same time…it makes no sense and is completely arbitrary. Clearly a response to fans calling it for it.
While Katia Winter is 100% correct, she also has not helped matters much. Unless they're telling her she has to gasp out every line in the slowest, most annoying way possible (which might also be true. Or maybe its just the corset she was wearing cut off circulation or something), she could have made Katrina maybe a…
This was just terrible. At this point, even Penguin is becoming a bore. I only like Young Bruce and Falcone and Jim and Harvey. I like Baccarin's Dr Thompson too, to the extent she is an alternative to freaking Barbara (ugh, I was hoping the show just wrote her off after she disappeared for a few episodes. )
um yeah…this was just beyond a mess. Calling it a mess would be kind. I kept waiting for there to be some kind of long con with the Katrina heel turn- similar to when Angel pretended to be turned into Angelus when Faith put that spell on him in Buffy Season 3. I thought Katrina was just playing along…because…
It's unbelievable to even consider, but they are making Mary the rape victim come across as borderline unlikable and unsympathetic. I mean, I get why she doesn't want Francis to touch her. But for the show to turn around and have her pining after Conde is AWFUUULL. It makes no sense.
Oh yeah. I'm just saying he's already there and you can see where they're going with it. He barely got any time to react this week to Conde accusing him. All he does is show up, act pissy with Kenna, and then leave.
He's already halfway there lol. Now all of a sudden he doesn't care about Kenna anymore and ignores her.
You know- This might be extremely unpopular, but man did I enjoy the shit out Enzo and Matt this week. That's mainly because the rest of the show has become so freaking unbearable, but there was a sense of joy, a sense of batshit insanity to the Enzo subplot this week that I haven't seen on this show since it became…
Great review Genevieve. Couldn't agree more with your sentiment that "It's a shame the show feels the need to introduce new characters for drama rather than relying on old ones".
