For those who weren’t watching Cloak and Dagger, they did a nice meta-bit where a key female character’s love interest was most literally fridged, as in “body found in fridge”.

Alya was the misdirect — Fitz couldn’t be found, as there’s no way for the Chronocoms to have Pym Particles and make it into the Quantum Realm. What they were blocking was where Alya was - because that was the actual lever, which would force Simmons to give up the mission.

Even Deke stranded in yet another universe and even further in the past got to be not only music god but also Director of SHIELD.

Black Lightning has the best drops of any show that isn’t specifically a musical.

Whoa, whoa, Pat is fuckin’ Stripsey. You don’t fuck with Stripsey and if you do, you better kill his whole family because his offspring will make sure you regret not finishing the job.

We all know Courtney could ACTUALLY use the staff only because her grandfather was Palpatine.

Yes, please give me Jen and Courtney competing to be the most reckless!

If you’re going to take a page out of Ego’s playbook, telling your son how you killed his mother right before asking him to join you is not the one I’d have gone with.

I just really hope they work in a “Did I fall asleep?” “For a little while.” in here somewhere.

Cut off one Coulson and a print out shall take his place!

And you heard coughing and then a thud almost immediately, which was darkly funny

Dr. Ito’s response to Cindy screaming in a cell - “Turn on the gas. It always calmed her as a baby.” - is one of the most fucked up lines I’ve heard in a long time.

This fucking sucks. I went to high school with Grant, and he was one of those people who literally never said or did a single thing that wasn’t kind or thoughtful. When he made it big, doing the weirdly brilliant stuff he loved, I was happy, because it meant the world was working the way it was supposed to: greatly…

The fun of this episode came from trying to catch all the references to various 80s movies but the heart came from giving Mack 20 months to deal with what happened. He wasn’t alone even though he tried to be. Deke was a friend to both him and the new version of him. And it got better little by little.

I think we’re all pretty much agreed “Self-Control” is the best episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. This episode is just below that. The musical cues, the edits, the cheesy one-liners, the even cheesier practical effects, the many, many, many geeky references (Daleks!), I almost couldn’t believe how much awesome they…

That’s the stumbling block for every show at the moment.

1. Whatever storyline they have for Barbara is certainly in the long game, because she has had shockingly little to do so far for such a “name” actress.

The Courtney-Cindy as friendly enemies is really being done well. I did NOT expect Cindy to be this interesting. I mean, she is awful of course. But she has her reasons 

Was I the only one that didn’t realize that Sybil was played by Tamara Taylor, AKA Dr. Camille Saroyan from Bones?
