"I haven't been honest with you…"
"After I was struck by lightning…"

Always happy to read things like this. In my top 5 favorites for sure.

I do, but good point about Leia's awareness. It just felt odd that he (Snoke) was so absent throughout. Hux called him Supreme Leader, but in the speech to the loyal minions before firing the Starkiller, it was Hux speaking. Granted, I've never been malevolent overlord of an army of darkness, but that feels like a

All I can say, 40 minutes after the film, is wow. It felt old and new all at once. As the review points out, this is very much a "re-telling" of A New Hope, but with mostly positive additions. Rey is a tremendously strong character. Her self-reliance is established early on through the dangerous scavenging in the

Certainly not the same coin, but they trade in the same currency. By the way, I happen to like Bernie Sanders, even though I'd never vote for him. He represents the "extreme" form what I guess could be called democratic socialism (for America, he's practically a Reagan Republican by Scandinavian standards). He

The genius of this season really can't be overstated. Not in the piss-your-pants from laughing so hard way, but in the brain tickled fashion. So many beautiful allusions and such delicious word play. I've always wondered if having a character referred to as PC Principal instead of any real name was to play on the

Oliver learns free-diving. Oliver goes 30 feet underwater a good hundred yards from the ship. Oliver drowns in a very preventable fashion.

If you watch closely when Oliver scrambles over the front and Felicity is lying in the back seat, a bullet hits her in the side, right where you'd expect the lung to be. There's a blood squib and everything! AND they were playing Little Drummer Boy, bad things always happen pa rum pum pum pum. The song is no good for

Every time a group of 20 or more people gather in Star City, a mass shooting occurs. You'd think people would have learned their lesson.

This show is getting so much more comfortable in it's own skin each week. The half second throwaway gags like Dazzle's car popping a hydrant that electrocutes that poor lineman. Here's hoping Moonbeam City sticks around long enough for the wider world to catch on.

The writing in the first 10 minutes of this show put such a childish grin on my face. And Mark Hamill is just going pure Joker. I love it,

I'm thoroughly aware I'm beating a dead horse: Laurel is just awful.

I find the character moments compelling. May shooting Andrew intending to kill him was a highlight of this episode, for instance. The moment felt earned - we saw the depth of feeling that both had for each other: Andrew's icing of May to keep her safe from the beast lurking beneath the surface, May's memories of when

No offense taken. I don't live or die by what people think of my 4th favorite show currently on TV haha. Just never understood the motivation to pop-in and say "not a fan, show isn't good", that's all. Also, as others have pointed out, Oliver skips over important character development in his reviews to complain about

And yet, you take the time to come to a review of this show, to say how glad you are you don't watch it. I'm not one who thinks AOS does no wrong, but it's imminently watchable if you have interest in spies, secret organizations, comics, etc. Don't quite get the motivation to tell the world how you don't watch

Yeah, let's give Coulson a hot pink jacket and paint all the quinjets neon green. They can install big flash S.H.I.E.L.D. signs with those "moving" arrows pointing to base locations. Also, mandatory dye jobs so we can instantly tell who is who by their flowing orange, purple, blue, etc. hair.

Please tell us more how bland and uninspired the visuals are. It's not at all repetitive and treading the same ground as your past reviews. If you want bright colors, look through a kaleidoscope. The generally dull palette is perfectly acceptable for a show about spies, secrets, and hiding in plain sight.

I really wanted to like this movie. Christoph Waltz plays a phenomenal villain, Mendes is a great director… but it all fell way short. The pacing of the film was atrocious, so many stretches of nothing. And Blofeld's motivation for loathing Bond could not have murkier. Truly a weak link in a string of great Bond

Because jumping in after 20 episodes will give you the full context of what's going on. It's fine to not like something, but to criticize the writing when you haven't experienced the last year is, well, lazy.

The back half of your critique of Andrew has some merit, but there are a couple of assumptions you're making that undercuts the argument. As far as I know, we haven't been told when Andrew first changed. He could have been someone newly turned, but more likely he has been 'Lash' for a while now. I'm not sure how he
