Remember when we were all “Oh man, something big’s gonna happen with Dottie” and then really nothing did?

Ugh, that’s awful. But nice to hear she’s coming back for the Agatha show.

I certainly don’t. I’ve loved every episode this season.

Shitner hates new Trek. He’s just a contrarian hater. Let him hate and die alone.

Naw, Shatner sucks.

I certainly don’t. I’ve loved every episode this season.

Yeah I really don’t know why io9 is so intent on gas lighting me into believing the first half of the season is bad.

Please get a hold of the Shatner and get him on this show as James T. Kirk

Shatner sucks balls, let him pass. 

Just finished watching it.  YES THERE IS!

IS THERE A MORN CAMEO??

Yeah, I’ve disagreed with that part of James’ critique as well. This season’s been in a good groove overall.

that might be fine, if disappointing—and in line with the first half of this season.

Totally agree. In a lot of ways, I blame binge culture and, to a lesser extent, the expectations of the MCU. People seem to have lost the understanding of the procedural tv genre.

I would love to see more Marvel streaming properties take on a structure where a plot or problem is simply introduced, investigated/worked…

I get it, though; everyone expects the MCU to have this far-reaching narrative that starts at the beginning of time and ends at the...well...at the end.

Great point! And I agree about your last line. Everytime I see someone complain about “filler episodes”, I’m like ... ????? Do you not like the show?

There is something refreshing about a “case of the week” show. Hell, the original The Incredible Hulk was basically the same show every week.

I’m having a blast. There’s just enough with the hints at something bigger - who the Wrecking Crew’s boss is, one guy very interested in her powers (Specimen? Could be him being…

I mean, it’s trying to actually be a TV show and not a “six hour movie” so it has an episode that isn’t about some larger narrative. It’s an episode of the show, Jen has a case, tries something in her personal life, and they eventually converge in the resolution. Expecting every episode to be have sort of bombshell…

A ton of Obama staffers and Democratic politicians have come out and said the West Wing is what made them go into politics. So when people say “poisoned” by The West Wing they mean “politicians who got it in their heads that if they compromise and/or out logic the people clearly acting in bad faith and care nothing…

It’s like people complaining about the idealism in Star Trek because it’s ‘unrealistic.’  Just give me an hour a week where I can imagine that humanity sorted its shit and became the good guys, ok? There’s value in aspirational storytelling.
