No offense, but you may be the only one waiting for that explanation.

More like Ward's snore story.

The beard. Everyone knows that when someone is being coerced into doing evil they still shave.

I hate that "Every bad guy has to be good inside" idea.

After such a tedious season, It's amazing that in the end Ward will either make or break this show

Castle used to be great. But the "big bad" of this season has turned out to be "The Florist". So, rather than the show being about wacky cases it has been entirely about planning the wedding. And unlike the annoying Alexis storylines that tied into the case of the week, all the talk about Invitations, Venue, Flowers…

I agree about the handcuffs of the larger films but IF the people in charge can't create something compelling with the known restrictions then maybe Jed and Maurissa were better off as writers than producers.

He's also adjusting his blinders. I know he gave a nice speech about not wanting to know who the arrow is but when your daughter and her boyfriend both return from 5years lost at sea coincides exactly to the appearance of a pair of vigilantes of similar build then it's hard NOT to add things together.

I'd say that my excessive negativity is probably because of expectations.

…yet.

Sorry to bring up Agents of SHIELD, but after seeing so much praise for Skye's big scene of acting terrified (It's a g-g-g-g-ghost, Scooby) then it's nice to see Arrow absolutely school them on how a suspenseful and terrifying scene should look.

It's hard to call out Arrow for being predictable since the writers seem to react very quickly to things. But it does seem like Season 3 has already been setup and may be a bit cliche and redundant:

I'm being a broken record with the same weekly rant but…
WHY DONT THEY TELL THEA THE TRUTH!

Yes and No.

I know this is completely condescending, but callbacks are a way to make inattentive viewers feel "smart" by watching a movie. I'd say a majority of people following the MCU films have no idea what the Cosmic Cube is, but because it has a memorable name so when they hear it they dont feel lost. Same goes for AoS.…

In that Bill Paxton Voice

Using one of the Joy Luck Club mom's to play Agent May's mom is a nice treat for Ming-Na Wen fans (and boyfriends who were dragged to watch that movie).

But isn't your opinion based on the fact that Chloe Bennet is clearly "Made for TV" actors?

"why are you here agent Ward"
"It's my duty" -BZZZ false-
"why are you here agent Ward!"
"I'm loyal to the team" -BZZZ false-
"why are you here agent Ward!!!"
"I came back to bone Skye" -DING true-
"Ok. Well here's your lanyard"
