Bizarrely, Mick was my favourite character of the whole episode. They managed to give some serious gutpunches with a character who for 2 years has been less than one-dimensional. That's impressive.

Badass Victor Garber is what I've been waiting for.

Seriously fantastic, like nothing else you'll see on TV. (Countered by missteps like Mockingbird's debut and Daisy and Lincoln taking on Lash at the start of season 3 - they were embarrassingly poorly staged)

I wouldn't say consistently, even after the upswing mid-season 1, but I do love it, and am very eager to see what they'll do with the next season and a half (and hopefully more!). And yeah, de Caestecker/Fitz is fabulous.

SHIELD kind of varies in fight choreography quality - one episode can have the best fight you've seen all year, while the next can be awkwardly staged and unconvincingly put together. I don't think Agent Carter has ever matched SHIELD's fights at their best, but it's always been better than SHIELD at its worst.

What I don't get, for either that or Galavant, is why it hasn't reached the UK properly. I know Agent Carter finally got picked up (by Sky I think?) but it's not exactly been well promoted, and Galavant hasn't been at all. Both shows have great reasons to sell to a British audience, and yet they've been pretty much…

Indeed! It's messy, but it's bold, fun, and unlike practically anything else on TV at the moment. I'm really geared up for the show's return next week.

I'm sort of envisioning her following the Ward sort of arc - reveal as villainous sidekick first season, tentative working with the protagonists second season, rising to main villain third season.

I wonder what ABC would think about maybe doing a TV movie to wrap up (in the event they won't stretch to a third season). I said a few years ago that they should consider doing TV movies to service characters who deserve screentime but can't justify a theatrical budget; while that seems more likely to happen on…

I knew he was a great comedic actor before this season (from his work on Childrens Hospital). From his first episode here I knew he could play intimidating. But only by the end of this season did I know he could play so many layers. I hope I see him in much, much more, very soon.

Great articulations there about the show's simpler approach to storytelling being a massive virtue. It reminds me of much older TV dramas in that regard (perhaps unsurprisingly, as it's technically a period piece?); slower, more character exploration but with very definite actions and consequences. It's similar to…

I have yet to see anyone suggest that this film will be terrible because women can't play characters that originated as male. A very tiny portion of the complaints I've seen have said that the film shouldn't be remade at all if the characters aren't Egon, Ray, Winston and Bill Murray, and I haven't seen them since it…

Actually I feel kind of the opposite - not that Renee is a fantastic actress, but she's at least in the middle of the acting quality on Legends, whereas I found Echikunwoke to be pretty lousy in this episode (although it's possible that that might put her in the middle of the acting quality on Legends…).

*thud*

Since we're seeing this show from Peggy's point of view, how about Steve Rogers being fridged?

Yeah, I'll agree with you there. The best episodes (for me) have managed managed to be both, like The Live Episode, or A Year In The Life, while the worst ones have been neither (for me, the massively failed attempt at the Fawlty Towers episode last year), but as long as it's one or the other then odds are I'll watch…

Maybe it's me being in the wrong time and place to appreciate this episode fully, but I only thought it was good. Some very funny moments, and a lot of treading water. The comparison to the same writer's Fan Fiction last year is an interesting one - it was probably just as good, but I felt much more tuned into that…

Similarly to the first season finale, this episode feels like it's separate from what the rest of the season will (presumably) be; both involved Jimmy trying to break away from his lawyer life, despite him being a lawyer for the rest of the season. The crucial difference was that that episode was the calm after the…

Deadpool's Number Two

Yeah. The A was a big surprise to me, but perhaps something crucial just didn't land for me (like the Fawlty Towers episode last season - the reviewer adored it, as I recall, but I know I wasn't alone in the comments feeling that it missed the mark from start to finish). This time though, I'm not even sure what was…
