First, I am thrown off by the reviewer change and how early the review is…and then I am thrown off by the fact that I would give this episode a B, so having the grade be higher than what I would give it is a double whammy.

Well, it seems from the comment my comment that you replied to was in reply to, some people don't want to see her become a regular superhero, but retain the niche the show created, which is a valid opinion to hold.

The MCU's continuity is different that 616's for sure, but in the MCU JJ never even became Jewel to start with. The question asked is whether there is a plot reason for JJ to be integrated into the more superhero'ish part of the MCU, and the show did not lay such groundwork and existing comic canon would make her…

Sorry, but because YOU didn't care about where the Helicarrier came from doesn't mean many others were left scratching their heads. Making claims about general audience reactions on one's specific experiences is poor form. Some people might have cared, and other not. As for your assertion that the connection exists…

The instance of Jessica Jones as a New Avenger come AFTER the Civil War plotline and much after the Infinity Crisis/War plotline. At the time of Civil War, she was still in retirement.

You and I seem to have completely different definitions of what the pejorative "to coast" means. I think it means benefiting from the work of others - given that both those plot lines happened on the show PRIOR to the movie coming out (in the case of the Helicarrier, or 'Theta Protocol', six months before the movie…

Whedon doesn't run anything at Marvel, and Disney has complete control over the AoS characters so some of the IP issues with the Defenders' aren't there for AoS.

Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist are also Netflix, and I can see significant crossover in those audiences.

The problem there is the "live season" v. "Binge season" difference in format - that might creates some serious continuity issues if the appearance is plot significant for either show.

Well, Infinity Wars is so big an event that it would in theory affect every Marvel property, including the Netflix shows so its a problem for every non-movie project in general, including the Defenders on Netflix.

From a Marvel continuity standpoint, leaving Jessica Jones out of the bigger MCU is fine - her superhero career was short and unimpressive. Leaving out Daredevil and Luke Cage on the other hand is more difficult. Cage was an Avenger for some time, and Daredevil is one of the marquee Marvel characters.

Yeah, upon re-watch, saw you were right.

He shot the can -he is using the candles to ignite the contents once he has shot it.

You seem to have two different complaints, so I will address them separately:

Sorry, but i simply utterly disagree with your minimization of Rosalind's character. Even if I were to accept your claim that her character was included merely to be Coulson's love interest in the end, the writers made her a fully realized character with backstory and agency. She begun as SHIELD's possible antagonist,…

This show looks like most prime time dramas on network TV, ie. perfectly serviceable and workman like. I have never understood the complaints about it; to me they seem like just another avenue to complain about what the show is trying to be, a spy show in a world with superpowers.

No, because there being a hole in that roof was established in episode 2. You know, when we see SHIELD lowering the monolith into the pit from their big plane.

His powers have definitely been upgraded in the MCU compared to the comics - in season 1 episode 10 we see Mike Peterson (who is on Extremis) pushing a bulldozer, and when he is done, he asks if he beat Capt. America's time, and is told he didn't. Heck, we see him in the CA:CW trailer doing something clearly…

Which is why his grading of this first half season of the show seems so utterly perplexing, because if you take all the grades, by Sava's estimation this is the worst 10 episodes run the show has had since the first 10 episodes. That is a position he has failed to defend in any real way.

Yes, the killing of Rosalind is framed as a meant to hurt Coulson and spur him into action BY THE SHOWS' ANTAGONIST. It is part of Ward's plot. So what you are actually claiming is that Ward wanting to hurt Coulson and force him out by killing Rosalind is lazy on the writer's part, as opposed to, say killing another…
