Mitch's mother counts on that check to pay for her acting classes!
And she also seems to be mellowing out to the idea of adopting the stray dog that gets into the restaurant's freezer.

Right! I forgot about the 5 extra episodes, so you may be right about that…

It was definitely overblown. But still, I think there are many interesting narrative threads going on this season, so as long as this doesn't turn into the main one, I'm OK with it.

That's what bothers me, because even their friendship was a short-lived one, and now he's the one to taught her her life had meaning? Maybe I missed something too.

I have to give it to the writers for realizing early on that having a season-long arc of SHIELD openly against this new government organization would be a repeat on previous storylines.
I think the episode was good, but I do agree on Lincoln and Daisy not really selling this romance or whatever. And if on the same…

Well, Aly Michalka was on the iZombie panel at SDCC and they confirmed she would be back, so I guess the Gilda storyline will be resolved sooner rather than later so that Peyton can come back? Or so I hope.

I thought for sure Quinn would find Carrie's name on his kill list, eventually, not on EPISODE 2. It's an interesting move, but everything's unclear at the moment, on purpose I hope.
And to answer your last question, according to IMDb, Astrid (the german blonde), was introduced last season, so maybe? I don't remember…

I only watched Fargo (the film) in its entirety after I accidentally ended up watching Kumiko, the treasure hunter last year at a film festival, so I'm on your side beema! It could happen to anyone!
(Also, I recommend Kumiko to whoever hasn't watched it yet.)

I was waiting until later tonight, but you comment gave me the strenght to go find that bottle of bourbon and start my weekend early. Thanks, Dik!

This was actually really good! Now bring back Nyssa and I won't ask for anything more for a while show, I promise.

It's too obvious a plothole if they don't explain this, so I'm pretty sure they will address it.

No joke, that Avalanches' song has been on my playlist for at least ten years. And every time it comes up I have to google them and see if they finally released a follow-up to Since I Left You. Not such luck yet.

What can I say, as a villain I find him incredibly lame, and as part of the team I could barely stand him. However, and as I said before, I do like how everyone turns their killing instincts on when it comes to dealing with him, so that's good.

I also believe they're gonna do flashbacks to Jemma in the alien planet. After all, she was constantly hiding from something, and all we got to see was dust and rocks.

I like how nobody even considers Ward as anything but someone to be killed. I hope this means he will actually be gone after this season; as opposed to what people seem to think, I don't believe his character got particularly better when he revealed he was Hydra. To me, he just went from "boring" to "evil but still…

I definitely sided with the killer a little.

Is it just me or the writing for the main story was not good? I mean, I usually like the mix of humor/references they use, but I feel like he couldn''t state one fact without making a joke about it. It's the first time it became a little repetitive and tiresome for me.

Well, I like this show. I mean, you can't overthink it because there's no gain in doing that, but the performances for me are what sell it: Claire Danes, Mandy Patinkin and Rupert Friend carry their characters like no other. I'm definitely on board for the new season (I'm also incredibly tired so my comment is not…

Thanks for these reviews! I'm conditioned to believe that no other site reviews anything so I would have never looked anywhere but here on the AV Club.
