Interesting. I see what you mean about the fight feeling zany and therefore muppety… but it still seemed too meanspirited to me, for the show and for Scooter in particular. But I'm on the same page as you about the Fozzie bit feeling lazy and dull.

There's a lot of support here for the doped up Fozzie. I wonder if those fans are the same who liked Scooter attacking Elizabeth Banks in ep 1…

I love this show, but on a scale of what it can achieve, I kind of agree, this one's a B. Some clunky conversations, showcases only for May, Ward and Fitz really, and minimal conflict. Not that those last two are necessarily a bad thing, but at its best the show has been able to show off the majority of its characters…

I wouldn't say it was confusing either, provided you were paying absolute, constant attention - everything did get explained, and every story and character beat was in there. But it was so rushed I can understand anyone missing some of the finer details. It's such a pity we don't have an extended version (based on his…

Yeah, I was expecting something from Jerome towards the various men he selected as his victims - not necessarily sexual (at least nothing he'd gain sexual pleasure from) but something villainously quasi-romantic. I feel like if it was a female villain we'd have seen it (and it's not like we'd seen a confirmed…

Seconded. I mean, he was THE compelling character, so I knew through the whole episode that he was going to be offed by the end.

Oh, it wasn't that it wasn't possible, just that it seemed a) improbable and b) ludicrously cheesy. It was Gotham's version of https://youtu.be/luX1dmp-bD… (the Family Guy bit, not the strange person at the beginning).

And two episodes that aren't a two-parter but sort of are.

I kept thinking they were calling him Richard until suddenly I heard the 'P'. So maybe?

The Doctor suddenly accepting they were ghosts was the major character flaw of the episode for me (along with the scene on the TARDIS, which was indeed weird). Given what else he's seen re:death and the afterlife, especially after last season's finale, I have no idea why he would be so gullible this time, or so…

I think there was a strong sense of that. My friend who first went through all of seasons 1-5 on Netflix didn't find a notable difference during season 4, but did comment 'What happened with season 5?'. Now, this may not be a quality issue so much as a tonal one (season 4 was trying very hard - maybe too hard - to…

Indeed. We evidently just see different things in these episodes (which we might be able to break down in a much longer debate unsuited to this comments section), and I'm sure there are other episodes where our viewpoints would be switched (maybe in season 4, as that's the one I find myself on the unpopular side of…

See, I'd put 4 and 8 as terrific, 5 and 10 as very good, 1, 2, 9 as fine, and 3, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13 as almost unwatchable (G.I. Jeff is better than the others there, but it felt very excluding to one who didn't watch the original cartoon, so I tend not to bother with it on rewatches). I will agree that the final tag of…

Actually I personally prefer s4 to s5 overall. Season 4 never reached the highs of the two you cite (which are genuine classics), but there's far more season 4 episodes I'd happily watch again than season 5 episodes. And where s4 actually seemed to improve as it went on, s5 just got steadily worse towards its…

And he watches Harry Potter too. Kids watch Harry Potter, so Slimer can watch Harry Potter too. On the Netflix.

I'm sooooort of in the same boat. As in, seasons 4 and 5 were messy at best; arguably the show would have had more of an unblemished record if it had ended with season 3. But there's some cracking episodes even in those two seasons, and especially in season 6. I'd rather take the risk of some poor material, even a…

Otherwise, it's a really fun article. That just stood out to me likely because it was such an unusual spelling (to me anyway - I'm in the UK, and I know several Seans and a few famous Shauns, but I don't think I've ever met a Shawn, although it does appear to be a common variation).

Wait, no-one's picked you up on 'Shawn Pegg'? Even if it was a deliberate portmanteau of Simon Pegg's [arguably] most famous role and his real name, you didn't even spell 'Shaun' right.
(Edit for our ancestors: it's been fixed, don't bother looking for it)

Exactly, and I love Agent Carter (both the character and the show), and I understand that the gender politics are a huge part of that show (at least they were in its first season), and so by design there was the gender disparity, because that was what was being explored. At the same time, AoS lives that little bit in…

I like all of the characters (I didn't always, but I felt they all developed very nicely through season 2), but Fitz is easily the best character now. Well… he's tied with May.
