Doesn't CC get things wrong all the time?

Wow, that's kinda cool.

Exactly. It's one thing to show up a braggart and make him look bad. It's another to use a cell phone, to outdo a team of experts using supercomputers.

Now that Dum Dum is dead over in Arrow, he can come back to AoS

It felt worse to me. I don't remember any "slow reveal" scene that was that long, where they should have been busy fighting for their lives. I mean, they could have done one of those "we're slowing down the frame rate, to make it more dramatic" things, but it seemed to be in real time, to me. Or they could have had…

I liked a lot of what they did, but didn't entirely like how they did it. I loved the Lash reveal, but I hated that Lash and Ward just stood there while the ramp slowly lowered. I hate that Lash randomly decided to ignore Ward and go pick up Daisy for no reason.

That's a good point.

So, does this mean that Moriarty is going to fight Morland? It's her organization, and it's just being handed to an outsider (who is also going to tear it down)?

I was more wondering how a global criminal organization can just pull out of New freaking York of all places.

I think it's Taiana

It's exactly what Ollie would say in the comics

I had a lot of issues with this episode

Him succeeding would have felt too convenient, but him failing (at least like that) felt too stupid.

Everyone loves the rules, but only for everyone else.

Yet another thing I like about Elementary - two attractive, smart people who work together all the time, and the show hasn't forced them together.

Well, he probably needs that "enhanced" doctor guy that Jemma stabbed in the eye, but otherwise, you may be right. Although it still feels like burning your bridges for no reason. Wait until your plan is a success before you turn friends into enemies (unless you have to do something that will alienate them, which he…

If I were Hive, I would try to find people in Malick's organization (maybe his daughter) who actually are true believers, and work with them. And then once I'm more thoroughly established, I'd turn on Malick. We know that Hive has some important plans in motion, and they're almost certainly much harder, now that…

If I were betrayed by my brother and had died hating him, then later found out he'd had a niece, I'd see two options for revenge; go after the niece AND my brother, or just go after the brother. Killing the niece and leaving the brother alive - particularly when he's shown to not be as loyal as he claimed, and he has…

Sure, it played out that way. But could Hive have known that? All he knew was the brother's memories.

I totally understand not liking them, particularly if they're too dark for you, but I think the quality is pretty hard to argue against.
