Good point. I did my best to avoid learning about the movie, but I had come across that fact. I've also read that they have already expanded on the movie's premise, so that gives me more hope. I just can't shake off the feeling that this is gonna turn into something that we've seen before.

Solid start, but I have a few concerns. I can see how the producers can reveal the layers that encompass the core story slowly in time (who are the guests? how long do they stay in Westworld? What is the management up to? Are hosts part of the "real world"? Where/when are we anyways?), but if not executed properly

Exactly. I mean, the show is already as crowded with main characters as a show can get. There are only 2 seasons left. When they deviate from the books, people complain. When they omit some characters, people complain. When they shortcut some actions (like Dorne, which was agreeably a botched job), people complain.

"But Game Of Thrones can’t make such a big deal about how hard it
is for an occupying ruler to assert her own justice on a city and then
just wipe its hands of the nitty-gritty." Umm, that was the whole point of Daenerys' story so far? The show spent more than one season dealing with that?

So the last time we saw Margaery, she was talking the sweet talk with High Sparrow only to visit his brother later to reveal to us that she doesn't mean what she said a few seconds earlier. It is obvious that she's playing some sort of a game, and it should also be fairly obvious that the viewers should be oblivious

Given how terrible last week's show was, I actually enjoyed this episode. I love watching movies with bad acting and shitty dialogue, and hey, I LOVE it when they have money. Man, Elias's acting was so hammy it was just ridiculous. The "girls gone wild at Quantico" montage? Brilliantly cheesy. And then suddenly

Yeah, this was utterly ridiculous. Even for Quantico standards it was absolutely ridiculous.

Technically is good enough for Quanticoverse :)

The show's best sequence so far was the torture scene. The show does know how to torture.

I think you can withdraw your guilty plea or even get exonerated after you are sentenced under the right circumstances: http://www.nolo.com/legal-e…

I gave the episode a B, because it finally has the chance to get its story together now that Alex has turned herself in. There won't be any more "holy shit how can you be so damn incompetent if you are INDEED trying to capture her" moments! I'm hoping the FBI will now resemble more the CTUs from 24, and we'll focus on

What this episode did for the overall "health" of the show is it played a little with the reasons for FBI's ridiculous incompetence. Up to this point, one could only think "oh my God why is this prominent organization filled with fuck-ups who are not held accountable for anything and just keep making amateur mistakes

I really enjoy visiting the Comments section here and pointing out the absurdities in the show, but this week's episode was really disappointing. Not because there was a scarcity of absurdities, no, but it wasn't "fun" at all. Even the abundance of plot twists is preferable to this "prime time soap opera" thing.

I love how they couldn't find (or think to find) a photo of Alex Parrish to release for the first couple of days, and they are now in full on TMZ mode. "Hey, if you see this woman coming out of a pool, which is very likely given her situation, this is the look she would have so, yeah, look out for that sexy pose."

I know this show makes the FBI look unrealistically incompetent, but at least this episode rectified something. Yes, they have finally released a photo of Alex Parrish! Now the public actually knows whom they have to spot! It took them only 48 hours to realize that minor fuck up, which also kinda explains why they

That explains what she did when she went missing for a year in India. She was looking for a blood transfusion somewhere. Poor Alex.

The most shocking plot twist for this show will come when they conduct an exercise that actually makes sense at Quantico. "In this week's exercise, we're not to fuck with your brains, but actually teach you something that people would actually teach in a proper training session. No one is gonna die! Following the

I previously wrote that this one was better than Blindspot, and I stand by that statement. Blindspot is the arrogant prick in your class who thinks he knows everything and misuses grand words and belittles your intelligence and has the fanciest camera because his dad is super wealthy… Oh sorry, I got carried away.

In this day and age, it's really hard to watch all the TV that's going on (well, Andy Samberg summed it up perfectly anyway) so I wanted to give both Blindspot and Quantico a chance after being bombarded by their ads on TV, on the streets etc. Compared to Blindspot, which suffers from a weird mixture of arrogance,

Haven't seen that one, but at least that explains why he was offered this role. Or any role for that matter.
