Clint and Laura Barton take the kids on a trip to IKEA.  Can their marriage survive?

The wolf is her mom.

Moss elevates what is very often mediocre material.  I’m not sure the writing staff is all that sure where to go, that’s why we keep dancing around.  Take the fan demanded Aunt Lydia flashback - other than wanting to save it for the next season - I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re kind of stuck on what to do.  There…

They got fucking Oprah to play the Free America DJ, I don’t think paying Cherry Jones is really much of an issue - she’s not Helen Mirren.

I said the same thing to my wife, she told me to shut up. But yeah, bird shot from thirty feet away would just hurt. VP Cheney shot that guy in the face with birdshot from like 10 feet away and he just suffered some puncture wounds and a concussion.

I am tired of being strung along, but I take no issue with this particular episode.  Allowing Moss the time and script to do what is one of the finest acting jobs I’ve ever seen is well worth the lack of forward story momentum.  Plus, I don’t think there is a lack of momenum, if the Waterfords end up being found…

Pirahna’s got a photo that says otherwise.

With the exception of JJ season one, and maybe DD season 1 - they could have made every other season 8 -10 episodes and it would have been better.  Five for Iron Fist (or they at least could have financed it better so everything didn’t look so awful.)

It’s actually a young Daniel Day-Lewis and he’s not wearing a costume, he’s just so committed to his craft you see a McGruff that isn’t even there.

Those pictures might also be the first use of the Wingdings font in television history - it’s a landmark.

Yes, I agree completely.  There is no way for this to actually happen - the world building isn’t great compared to say GOT.  But the world building in The Hunger Games didn’t make any logical sense either (they have magic technology but they still need coal miners?) it was the story that was compelling.  That’s why…

Then how did these guys take over the country? If the Sons of Jacob had to actually contend with the U.S. Military they couldn’t have taken Causeway Street in Boston much less the entire continental U.S.  I see you post here all the time about this not being “America” it’s Gilead etc.  We all get that this is…

I think you have to leave aside what the capabilities of Gilead’s army is vs. other’s - we don’t really know. Yes they drove out the U.S. Government but was that because the army was peppered with Sons of Jacob? Are the Navy and Air Force in Hawaii and Alaska they just don’t want to kill innocent civilians? We don’t…

Setting aside the fact that the whole set up of Gilead makes no sense, how can you afford to both fight war and have an able bodied young man as a guardian for every five or so other people - the math doesn’t work.  But that’s the suspension of disbelief you have for any show set in a made up world.  What’s bothering…

It shows that Nick really does love her, not just lust for her.

The lying shows he knows the Canadians think what he’s doing is wrong.  He’s not a true believer in that he thinks God wants it this way - he’s a true believer in the sense that he feels as a man he should be in charge of everyone else and if the biblical retoric allows that then he’ll go along with it.  It’s subtle…

Hulu upped the number of episodes so we’ll all have to pay for four full months.

I took it as a subtle “fuck you” from the Canadian government.  It was pretty clear that the diplomats meeting with Waterford were not doing so with enthusiasm, but out of what they saw as necessity - you don’t want to have an enemy that probably inherited most of the U.S. military right on the boarder.  

So let’s talk about Ashford. When he was brought on it was fraught with tension, but really this guy is the best leader on the show.  He defers to his captain, pays close attention to the crew, gives pep talks at the right times, makes logical arguments - doesn’t seem to let his emotions affect him.  He’s like Riker…

Her real name is Clarrisa - that explains it all.
