You could be right (I've seen each episode at least once, most of them twice, but nothing really sticks out). It certainly doesn't feel like that's defined him in the way that Wesley seemed defined by his relationship to his father, and not in the way they were trying to spin it here. It's not a huge gripe, as I did…

I never really thought of him as being Wesley-ish, but I did feel the comparison in this episode; specifically I was thinking it was a shame this was the first real nod to his father issues. With Wesley it was implied very early on through his manners and then more explicitly a couple of times near the end of the…

I loved their appearance here, but that might be because it felt like I had been waiting for a return of the Koenigs for ages (partly because it's Patton Oswalt and partly because they'd otherwise just sort of faded from the series). I'll always take more Patton Oswalt, but if this is their last appearance then at…

Well, it's hard to argue with a detailed counterpoint like that ;)

Really? But so many of Bloom's lyrics are just the same joke repeated multiple times (the Sexy Getting Ready Song being the most obvious example), without a real understanding of lyricism or metre, and absolutely no interesting rhyme schemes. The songs in La La Land all had interesting structures and a varied…

It's interesting that they've seemingly got different composers for each song - while it's nice to have the kind of variety that can inspire, it could make for some real inconsistency.

Could well be the case. It just felt like for a movie so enthusiastically musical (in multiple ways) the singing was… well, not.

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…
