And don't forget that every one of them was "The Last of the Jedi." :-)

That's because Hera and Sabine's character development screen time has been given over to the clones. TCW characters are edging the rebels cast out of their own show.

That the big interrogation, life-threatening question was "Where is Ahsoka Tano" cuts tot he heart of why season 2 was flopping for me. Now Janan, 'last' Jedi, isn't even a big deal; when the inquisitors are trying to track down a Jedi, it isn't even one of Rebels core characters, as it deserves to be. It's the…

Cheering at the Newhart reference.

Seriously, the Muppet Show has a LOT of these. How about 'once they are counted and compelled, they can quickly be dispelled?' Or the ultra-depressing vibe of their 'If I could put time in a bottle?' And Sesame Street's "And the word is no" song was pretty freaky to 5-year-old me, too. Those muppets, man- they can do…

A general difficulty that I have, which would affect any female-centric superhero series… I really don't want to watch a woman getting beat up. So here's hoping that there will be a little less of the brutal beating down in future episodes (understandable in a learning-the-ropes story). Other than that, this was a…

I seriously wanted everyone to shut up about how great the Clone Wars were, and how our heroes being cool was 'just like the Clone Wars'- but the gripes of an OT fan rankling at PT praise aside, this episode was a marked improvement over the last one, including with the likability of the clones as characters. And the…

On the other hand, if Clone Wars was 6 years of torture crowning 15 years of nearly-singular prequel-era focus, this was a time-wasting episode that also ground the teeth by further devoting itself to follow-up on characters who already had 6 $#$^%&% years of screen time in their own $^#*&^*&$# show (with more to come…

There's something about X-men/Inhumans; whenever the characters are supposed to be metaphors for something, everyone starts acting a little stupid and really annoying, because they've become roles to support the metaphor and mouthpieces for a viewpoint rather than characters. Kinda feel like that's happening here.

" I get Joe's meant not to be a techie or a geek, or bla-bla-blah…, BUT
I felt this time it was a little bizarre how much they still went for
the "Joe doesn't understand science" thing this time. "

Misc thoughts:

Unless I've just been missing it the last few years, this trailer was really exciting to me for heralding the return of the trailer voiceover! "Charlie Brown needed a miracle…" So 90s, in a good way! I miss when trailers had a narrator, instead of just a collection of sound bites from within the movie and…

"Oh, and I suppose Paul McGann logged 17 years away between the TV movie and “The Night Of The Doctor,” but that would imply we’re not counting all his Big Finish audios, and I just won’t have that."

"an individual who is quite rudely not Susan or the Rani or River or Jenny or a Clara fragment or whoever else."

This is true; I suppose after hearing the plan she might have decided to come along. Since, as far as Mac *seemed* to know, it was just a flight to transport the monolith to a big machine, her appearance seemed random (since there was no reason to believe she'd be able to help). But maybe she did just come hoping to…

I am astounded. Sampling reviews all over the internet, I'm finding nothing but praise for this episode, when it seems to me that all it does is solve problems that it created specifically for this episode, and return to the same status quo that we already had at the end of the first season which it needlessly…

How is that dialogue disquieting? I can't tell if that statement is intended positively or negatively- disquieting because it is bad, or because is it an unwanted reminder of what is good.

Risking the lives of the entire universe to save his own (already deceased) mother,*and failing to do so because him from an alternate future that logically would have no way of knowing what he was doing in this version of the timeline said so,* you mean. :-)

The last several seasons have been filled with people talking about how Coulson is darker now, and he's changed, and he's making bad decisions… only it's a completely informed attribute. His decisions have typically been far more rational, unswervingly loyal to SHIELD's ideals, and less traitorous or flaky than 90% of…

Uh-oh. Seeing that everyone else seemed to have loved it, so… preparing myself for some downvotes. :-)
