Exactly; the juxtaposition of Ward and Fitz in the Framework was a very simple but very effective piece of story-telling. The reviewer over at AVClub has summarized it as nature v nurture which is a valid point, but I think it’s even simpler: it’s about how choices and chance events can make giant changes in a…

Ooooh, I hadn’t even thought about the show doing that for Hope!

Sold and putting on my pull list.

The only disappointment of the whole Agents of HYDRA thing was not seeing Bobbi and Hunter there. Well, OK, one more: not taking the opportunity to build Tripp a body, move his consciousness from the Framework, and have him rejoin the team.

The season has been great, but when it comes down to it, THIS has been the most amazing thing - the redemption of Grant Ward. The dichotomy of putting Ward in a position where he can choose to be good (and does), along with Fitz becoming a HYDRA leader because of his upbringing, really gives Ward’s character a new…

All I know is that I have no idea what to expect from next season and, unlike a year ago, I’m not worried about that

That IS hard. I cut my mom out cold turkey for over a year, and at least 2 of her 7 siblings tried to guilt me into talking to her again. I went to therapy a LOT and we worked our way slowly back to a relationship when I was goddamn good and ready, but MAN that pressure was intense. I am so sorry for my friends who…

I usually just take a moment to reflect and acknowledge that estrangement is the right and healthy thing to do for the both of us. I will always love and respect my mother, but that relationship is toxic at best. And instead of being pressured into reconnecting because society tells us it’s the right thing to do, I…

Oh god this kind of statement bothers me sooo much. They always say shit like that while doing absolutely nothing to change things, even in their own lives.

I went to two different stores yet somehow didn’t get the DC Superhero girls. But I got copies of almost everything else.

...if Locutus killed the Borg Queen, took over the Collective, and personally had Riker executed to show the Federation he wasn’t fucking around anymore.

It certainly is walking and quacking like a Nazi.

Oprah is beloved in the gay community (ok, let’s face it—Oprah is beloved in every community)

Joel Osteen and that whole “Jesus Made me Rich! Let Him do it for YOU!” thing makes me want the second coming to happen. It would be entertaining to see all these people come face to face with a middle eastern looking Jewish guy shouting “How did you all get this so wrong?! All I said was be nice to each other!”

One of the fan complaints going around is how stunt-woman heavy this movie is. Gadot’s comments haven’t helped either.
