Agents of SHIELD

Started off just watching, went pretty quickly to hate-watching and basically rooting for the Zombies. Now I'm watching it and enjoying it.

I only watched the Pilot to see how dumb it would be. And then it. Blew. My. Mind.

theres a difference between "a direction the audience isn't ready for" and plain sucking. which is what happened to Heroes after season 1

Berman and Braga deserve plenty of blame for the wreckage that Star Trek became, but there's also plenty of blame to be laid at UPN's feet.

Season 6 is the most maddening season of Buffy. It had a lot of really good stand-alone episodes, but it was also tarnished by a lot of episodes that just didn't work, a medium-bad arc that seemed to get left on the table more often than not, and a few episodes with too much packed into them. And the…

Another backlash that started more recently - try googling Berman/Braga and see what turns up. That one was deserved, though, I think. Especially once Voyager got going.

I love Nina's work, you can tell she puts a lot of effort in to it. My favorite animation is her "This Land is Mine"

She's just killing time until the inevitable OUAT/SHIELD crossover.

"But Regina is trying to be good, so she rips out Marian's heart before she turns into ice Marian and promises to help save her."

True.

It is a trilogy, folks. The Quran is the third book. It's pretty good, but that long part with all the Hobbits hugging each other in the elf city gets boring.

Yeah, don't think that one's considered official canon. More like fanfic if you ask me.

And then, after Lot and his daughters escaped (sans salt-mom), they were alone for so long that the daughters assumed God had destroyed everyone on earth and they needed to repopulate it by getting knocked up by dad (after getting him drunk).

Yes! See that's what I'm always trying to explain to people. It's like, compare the OT God to gods of the contemporaneous Assyrian religion. All those Bronze Age cultures had gods that were insanely badass and seriously bloodthirsty. Basically, those were tough times.

"...this was a town that, when two angels were staying at Lot's place, gathered en masse and asked if they could rape them. I repeat: They wanted to rape angels."

So you're telling me that Old Testament god was just as much of an asshole as most other mythological gods of the time?
