After watching this, I saw "Savitar as Wally" as resolving the paradox rather than causing one—Savitar turns Wally into Kid Flash, who gets trapped in the speed force, becoming Savitar, who travels back in time and turns Wally into Kid Flash, who… and so on. A closed time loop. Although I'm still fuzzy on how Savitar…

Yeah. Watching the scenes with Mon-El & Kara having heart to hearts in her apartment (the apart-to-heart-ment? Like the "balcony of deep thoughts" in reverse?), the camera seemed to spend a lot more time on Mon-El than Kara. Certainly he got a lot more words in. Then the Winn storyline felt like an additional thumb on…

Yeah, I think I recognized the character from Arrow on one of the crossover eps? Hung out with Thea and Roy, someone got shot in an alleyway? IDK.

I was disappointed that Paula yelling at Naomi was shown in flash back, wasn't face-to-face, and wasn't a song. It was such a satisfying moment that it deserved more focus, especially as CXG swings from mommy issues to daddy issues.

Loved this episode- Ben Levin & Matt Burnett (story editors) are the reason I started watching SU in the first place, and this ep has them all over it. Search their production entity, "For Tax Reasons," and find Levin's student film "She She She's A Bombshell"- wonder how many times Zuke and Florido watched that for…

I think a C+ is awfully low on the Steven Universe grade curve for this episode, but I think I get where you're coming from with your criticisms of the tonal mish-mash. I had the same problems with Reformed, the early-season-two (?) episode where Amethyst went through a similar non-arc of failure as Peridot does in…

Just plowed through the entire season off iTunes in about a week. I can't believe they got through eighteen whole episodes- especially that last one!- without having Greg say, as a sarcastic defense mechanism thing, "Oh, Rebecca… If only there was someone out there who loved you."

I "bought" the FYEC season when it was the whole season, but now that I've gone back to download it it's been truncated to just the first four episodes. It's not "unfair," but it's annoying that they can retroactively change what I "purchased."

I was gonna say the same thing about the mom. The dad, I seem to recall the boozing is implied by cans lying around? Or like, the dog's afraid of the dad? something like that. It's been a while since I watched TS1, but I remember the dad was depicted as pretty not-awesome.

So it was coincidence that the company doing research into swarm disruption also had a division or sister company or whatever that made technology for Coulson's hand?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ infiltrating it? Idk. Every previous secret door to hidden hangar on this show ha been a SHIELD base. It just wasn't clear, visually.

And the Ag facility was connected to the company Hive took over last week? I thought that company had only been targeted because it made the phlebotinum for Coulson's robo-hand.

Damn, I knew I was rolling dice on that one. So if palmistry is palm-reading, what's the single word for palming a card or coin or what ever, sleight-of-hand?

Yeah, that was unclear to me. I thought initially that the plane was back in the SHIELD base at the end?

The whole stone game bugged me. I liked that plot most of the three- good performances leading to some real emotional impact, at least by AoS standards- but I was distracted by the game theory of cheating at HYDRA death cult rituals. Where'd the non-notched white stone go each time? When did young Gideon learn…

Yeah. James was not only more interesting than Lincoln (how'd he know to go looking for Jiyang's Secret Exposition Closet without powers?), he was both more likeable AND more credibly dangerous. And I thought the same thing on the Whitehall issue.

And that's exactly what this show ought to be about- cool bonuses like that that cross-promote the movies. The Winter Soldier tie-in was a high point. The Age of Ultron tie-in was kind of a low (made no sense if you didn't see the movie, made even less if you did).

"blue purple green and the yellow!" Thanks, now that'll be stuck in my head all day.

Nah, I wish she'd pulled a hammer out of her handbag tho.

Drew Goddard, writer of the original Cloverfield, also co-wrote and directed The Cabin in the Woods. Both of those films (and 10CL) gave me what I want out of movies, but it sounds like they're not your bag. Bummer. :-/
