You too? Damn that moment was so perfect, 4 seasons and a lifetime of a conceit laid out on the open to someone you love and trust, and they get you? It was a catharsis I didn’t know I needed, a climax I didn’t even realized it was being built up since the beginning and it made me tear up so much.

Which wouldn’t make you a good leader either.

It’s not about being emotional, it is about her zeroing in on one solution -save Coulson- even if it had to come to blows with the rest of her team. She only really got she couldn’t do that when she realized he put the serum on his glove.

Mack is just the director because Daisy herself isn’t ready. Of all the available candidates, he is the best.

Natalia doesn’t get enough credit. All the cast is great but she deserves some really high praise for coming so late in the show and being right there on everyone’s highest level. This back half of the season has been such a ringer for Elena, and this episode the best of them all. All her scenes were a highlight, and

You have to remember that what happened in the present already happened. They went to the future and returned like 6ish months later, and their actions prevented the future they saw.

Booo to the Mack hate, y’all wack, wack!!

“such a terrible job” is the tagline of season 6. Every opportunity felt like a missed opportunity. The whole NTA v OTA thing, Yanny Lance, Diaz, Diggle going to ARGUS. Everything went on the lamest way possible.

To be honest, every other villain offered a level of threat that HAD to be resolved. Diaz was so underwhelming that it actually makes morse sense for him to come back than other villains that went all the way.

As someone who wasn’t *in love* of season 5 like many where, Arrow has been bad for a long time. It’s Charmed all over again in terms of just slumping it up.

Yanny Lance as a good ring to it

I had just listened to the talk Patton and the writers did with MFM at Skylight Books like 3 days before the guy was caught. The whole story was still going around my head, how this was Michelle’s unfinished business, and how they might never been an answer, how the book was ended after her death as a pure labor of

In fact, her whole thing with Quentin feels like “enabling” of her fucked up patterns and we are supposed to think it’s sweet.

Black “Daddy Issues” Siren.

As in, all her falling for authoritative evil men is related to her loosing Quentin, and regardless how physically powerful she is her fear and insecurity around these men will always make her be under their thumb) And the biggest problem for me is that it’s clear we aren’t going to see her overcome this by herself,

On a character level I understand that the point is that if this is someone that she finds monstrous, it’s supposedly a big deal -given the whole thing of her and her evil male authority figures- but the rest of the narrative hasn’t done *that* much to make Diaz particularly detestable.

Rather superficial litmus test of how grief can be portrayed. He did a lot more to show Jax’s grief than other actors do with crocodile tears.

They got to call for help, not the most interesting route :/

I don’t know if I agree with the evil romance in theory. Yes, it humanizes them, but still makes them evil humans.

Stein and Jackson’s scenes where the most powerful stuff through the crossover, and that last scene with him holding Clarissa and Lily made me tear up. Bravo Crisis!
