I loved so much of La La Land… but I really, really hated the singing. Not the songs, which were great, just the singing, which was (bar one song) all way too understated, like they were trying to sound cool rather than actually put across the music and the lyrics to full effect. The only place this worked was the

Even respectable people can be pricks at times.

Yeah, I've gotta say I think Rich crossed the line too. I do hope she doesn't lose her job over it, though; a suspension is one thing, but it was very definitely a joke - quite a witty and clever one too, though for me not terribly funny because of how tasteless it seems (it's similar to the oft-recited 'Lee Harvey

Should be a pretty big deal. They've already asked Dan Harmon not to attend.

Exactly. I expect some major trauma when she finally comes to and remembers how it actually went down.

Admittedly that cast some doubt in my mind too, but it just seemed to have so little foundation (I know Aida had commented on needing to get rid of May earlier, but there didn't seem to be a reason to break her programming and order from Radcliffe at this point) and then no real follow up (something like Aida saying

How about The (Real) Mandarin?

It's possible (especially with the seeming nod in this episode), but I don't think they'll go that route at this point. That said, I've thought since John Hannah arrived on the show that he would have been perfect casting for Fitz's dad if they'd wanted to go that route.

I didn't see a romance between them until the last two episodes before Christmas - before then I just thought they made for an excellent bromance - but something about their chemistry there totally sold me on it. If the writers want to push for it I really wouldn't mind at this point (which wouldn't have been true a

I knew with the reveal two episodes ago that John Hannah would be one of the show's most fun villains ever. He's witty, he's charismatic, he's lovable - he was a great ally, but an even better enemy.

Yeah, I kept expecting them to wheel out some falsified evidence that all of Daisy's actions were sanctioned and above board - how could they be so unprepared for that line of questioning?
Yeah, the two May storylines are being handled very well, and actually the real-May's dream sequences were still entertaining and

Loved this episode. Did have two not-insignificant gripes though: why didn't Coulson, Talbot and Mace prepare for Daisy being questioned on her illegal activity? It's not like it was a minor thing or something Nadeer might not have known about. Also, I was a little disappointed in the May storyline simply because I

Bad leadership, yes, but I think in November you really…

Ah, the season 3 approach to writing.

The thing is, AD's funniest stuff - and the stuff Mitchell Hurwitz is obviously most interested in - has always been the payoffs, not just the odd gags (although they're typically more quotable). Season four was a really bold attempt at telling an 8 hour story essentially in one go… but that meant the series was

I'm sure that you could really get inside a man like Tobias.

Oh, come on! You had it RIGHT! You corrected the grammar last time and on the Hulu ones, and now you've got the headline grammar wrong again! AAAAARGH!

Minor point, but I'd just like it to be noted how freaking brilliant the title is, conveying three meanings (delusion, music, LA) that I'm not sure you could collectively apply to another film in history. So many TV shows and films now wind up with generic, unevocative, unimaginative, unrepresentative titles; La La

Holy fork.

Try to see it his way, does he have to keep on talking 'til he can't go on? While you see it your way, run the risk of knowing that those songs may soon be gone. You can work it out. You can work it out.
