This must be the most infuriating show ever made. Immense potential Great make-up special effects. Good overarching story. Good actors. Good action scenes. hell, an excellent opening title sequence and music.
And yet.
And yet.
They have occasionally clunky dialogue (usually involving Eph), depend overly much on…

I also loved the hiccuppy desperate way she was trying to explain Fitz…."it was a dream, she made him do it…" The pity on everyone's face. Nice acting job.
I do love how the show hasn't turned away from this issue - how they acted in the Framework is an aspect of who they are as people. That is a very painful…

Mallory Jenson - I have lost track of the number of separate characters she has played this season:
AIDA the robot
AIDA, post Darkhold (slightly more sinister, more advanced)
Madame Hydra
The original cancerous Ophelia (using her native aussie accent)
Human AIDA good
Human AIDA crazy.
And, frankly, she has nailed very one…

Amos the Shamus, looking for the right thing to do, and a clue.

Almost Amos.

Don't we all start out as…nothing?
Tell me, could a construct of the framework be put into a human body, assuming one was available? If not, why not? They seem like real people. They react just like real people. They seem to have memories, thoughts, feelings, hopes and ambitions.
If they could be removed from the…

Ember in the prologue "It was me! me! I did it! I made the whole story happen!"

Opportunity missed.
Quentin stabs Ember "Surprise!"
Ember "Good one!" (dies)

Almost is great - his struggle to be a good person, despite having exactly zero moral compass, is fun to watch. I enjoyed his rather heartfelt talk with the Captain. To paraphrase "I have trouble determining right from wrong, so I appreciate having you tell me."

Yeah, I know. Very heavy. If these are the last episodes of the last season…well…it is going to be a pretty rough way to go out.

Does it matter? Radcliffe IS dead in the real world. So how is he any more real than anyone else in the Framework? The rest are based on memories from people, but are just as REAL as Radcliffe or AIDA for that matter.
If the death of Mace in the Framework meant the death of Mace in real life, than the essence of the…

They are moving this season toward a very, very ugly conclusion. The people in the Framework, outside of the few people in the real world, are constructs. If the shield agents get out of the Framework, and destroy the framework, what happens to them?
They die. Simmons is having this dawning realization - what's the…

I'm confused - I thought this show was going to be about mutants without pants. X-Pants.

You know, it occurs to me that the ratings for this show have had problem from day one.
People expected, wanted this show to be…I dunno. Superhero of the week show. In such a show the shield team would be the binding glue, where, each week they would go out and investigate some superhero or supervillain. Much like…

Well the show is now in syndication. Perhaps it is raking in money there. There are also foreign market sales, DVD sales. There is also the soft "synergy" stuff - comic books, toys, and what not. It could be making money just fine.

Can I add one more thing to a nearly perfect episode. the redshirts.

I commented on episode 2 that Tom Hardy seemed to spend most of his time walking about the town. Many commenters said I just didn't get the show, and that he didn't seem to spend THAT much time swaggering around town.
Then along comes episode 3 - and nearly the first line of the show is, to paraphrase, "you've spent…

Exactly.
How did Radcliffe know that they were going to bug the office? he was never at shield when they planned it. Meaning there is ANOTHER LMD at Shield.
It could be anyone, but I suspect it is not Coulson, Fitz, or Yo-yo. Coulson would not make sense, because the LMD Coulson would have Coulson's memories, and…

Oh. Right. Everyone knows about the importance of the Sankofa bird. What was I thinking? My first thought should have been " why that's a Sankofa bird! A Sankofa bird symbolizes great and profound meaning!" It is all so obvious now. I have no doubt I am the only person who made that mistake. It was not a…

Don't be silly. We should consolidate scenes, so instead of two scenes relaying information to the same person there is only one. That way the useless walking scenes in between are unnecessary. Also, most programs show people walking into buildings, perhaps with a quick shot of the name of the building to establish…
