Mmm... I'd rather they bring back Constantine.
This year, like every year before, the cruel and mighty gods of television descended to Earth to feast on the poorly-rated or otherwise unfortunate shows and banish them to eternity of damnation in the land of cancellation. As they made their way from network to network, shows old and new, dramas and comedies alike cowered in fear, uncertain of their fate. Only those few that had already been blessed with a renewal stood tall amidst the chaos and bloodshed.
At last, the gods knocked on the door of a small cottage on the outskirts of ABC, ready to devour another victim. Agents of SHIELD opened, a wicked grin on its face and a cup of wine in its hand, looked the gods straight in the eyes and said, "Not today, bitches".
In other words, AoS has been officially renewed for a 22-episode season 5, and if you can hear someone screaming outside your window, it's probably me failing to contain my excitement and joy. I've spent the last two months filled with anxiety, and now I feel like I can breathe again. Unfortunately, the show isn't coming back until mid-season because Inhumans are set to air in its timeslot in the fall, and it's moving to Friday at 9 PM, but honestly, I'm not going to complain. I'm just happy we're getting more episodes.
This was a little weird. I don't know why. The pacing was kind of awkward, maybe? Aida's death was a bit underwhelming and I feel like they rushed everything too much. But I still liked it. We got some awesome moments, like Jemma shooting Aida (* Mushu from Mulan voice * My little baby, off to destroy people), YoYo being ready to die with Mack in the Framework (if you're suffering and you know it, clap your hands), Daisy's speech at the end (she's shaping up to be a great leader). Overall, they wrapped up all loose ends, Aida's a pile of ash, the Darkhold is gone, Radcliffe's dead (that was a pretty amazing scene too, I can't believe they just cut him off in the middle of his big speech, what even). Daisy and Robbie had a major case of heart eyes going on and I really hope he returns next season. The whole team together in the diner was cute as well. And I guess the US government was so fed up with SHIELD that they just fucking launched them into space. I'm totally down for it. I can't wait for all the inevitable references to Guardians of the Galaxy.
Oh, and a round of applause for Mallory Jansen and John Hannah. I wish them both all the best. Their performances were incredible and they contributed to making this season great.
Well, that's it for now. See you all whenever season 5 premieres!
This show is visually spectacular, super creepy, mindblowing, and very, very weird. I suppose this kind of craziness doesn't appeal to everyone, but I love it. I feel like I'm watching someone's LSD-induced hallucination where time isn't linear and reality bends into the craziest of shapes. It's confusing, messy, wild, colorful and absolutely awesome.
Don't vote before the episode is out!
This is the best episode yet of Titans. I cannot believe they finally pulled off this origin in live action. This is an incredible time to be a fan.
for me it looks like this Beth is actually a clone and Rick haven't killed her because the real Beth must continue her adventures
I watched this show when at its original air date and I'm re watching in Netflix because it is one of the most funny, corky, simple, fascinating and brilliant shows that has ever been made. The writing is extraordinary and the acting too. It will give you so many people to love and a whole world that you can feel both it's so realistic yet it's magical and fantastic. I could watch it for ever and feel good.
I just wanted to leave Dean's speech here:
"I hate you. You lied to me. I was a kid. You promised you'd keep me safe. And then you make a deal with Azazel. Yeah, it saved Dad's life, but I'll tell you something else that happened. Because on November 2, 1983, old Yellow Eyes came waltzing in to Sammy's bedroom because of your deal. You left us. Alone. 'Cause Dad was just a shell. His perfect wife? Gone. Our perfect Mom, the perfect family was gone. And I... I had go be more than just a brother. I had to be a father and I had to be a mother, to keep him safe. And that wasn't fair. And I couldn't do it. And you wanna know what that was like? They killed the girl that he loved. He got possessed by Lucifer. They tortured him in Hell. And he lost his soul. His soul. All because of you. All of it because of you. I hate you. I hate you. And I love you. 'Cause I can't... I can't help it. You're my Mom. And I understand 'cause I have made deals to save the ones I love more than once. I forgive you. I forgive you. For all of it. Everything. On the other side ofthis, we can start over, okay? You, me and Sam. We can get it right this time. But I need you to fight. Right now, I need you to fight. I need you... I need you to look at me, Mom. I need you to really look at me and see me. Mom, I need you to see me. Please."
Pretty good film...pretty good film... pretty good film...pretty good film... pretty....sorry was stuck in a time loop for a minute. I enjoyed the film, decent story, but I felt as if I had seen it before.
Immensely fun, would go see it again.
I've been a sonic fan since Sonic 1 and 2 on the Genesis, enjoying both the comics and some TV shows as well. This FELT like sonic to me. It captured his confident attitude and gave him a backstory that was really touching and a great character motivation. Fans of the Mobius universe will recognize more references to the franchise, but this film is great for casual fans or even newbies to the franchise too.
The most jarring element for me was Jim Carrey's Robotnik. He didn't feel like any iteration of Robotnik or Eggman that I know. He was a fun character all the same but aside from his final costume he felt maybe 5-15% Robotnik throughout the movie.
The jokes were well done and there were times the wpile theater was in stitches. Lots of dad jokes, but the kind that makes you actually laugh.
Over all this is definitely a 10 for me, one I want to buy when it comes out and I am sorely hoping we get a sequel.
I love that the romans are speaking actual latin the entire time. It sounds amazing.
My beloved Agents are finally back! It's been so long. I've missed them. And what a rollercoaster of a premiere this was! Including, but not limited to: Agents in space, discount Star Lord, Demodogs (does that make Daisy Eleven?), Jemma upping her sass to critical levels ("I figured it out using magic"), the Monolith's prettier sister, time travel (Doctor Who theme plays in the background), angry smol May walking off a literal hole in her leg, and lighting so bad that I had to lower the blinds in all the windows in my room just to be able to (barely) see what's going on. Seriously, at this point AoS' lighting department consists of one dude with a flashlight and two glowsticks. I guess that's the price we have to pay for all the insane special effects. They probably blew their whole budget on those. Still a great episode though!
Thank whatever higher power is up there that this show is finally back. Had I had to wait one more week, I swear I would've exploded from anticipation.
Unfortunately, every once in a while real life gets in the way of my watching TV shows, which is why I was unable to review 4x15 when it first aired. So, if you don't mind, I'd like to very quickly say a few things about "Self Control":
That was the best fucking episode this show has ever done and I still haven't fully recovered from it.
I CAN'T BELIEVE ELIZABETH HENSTRIDGE AND IAIN DE CAESTECKER INVENTED ACTING. These two smol humans are so incredibly talented and their performances in that episode were earth-shattering.
I love FitzSimmons. I really do. But I ship Jemma and Daisy so hard that it actually hurts a little bit. The sweaty hug, the lingering looks, the hand-holding, it was all so gay that my brain short-circuited. I've spent the last month binge-reading BioQuake fanfiction. Send help.
Robot May made me cry like a baby. Yup. That's another sentence I never thought I'd write, but here we are!
And now, moving on to 4x16:
I can't believe they just went and changed the logo to Agents of HYDRA. I'm internally screaming. That is so extra.
So, the Framework is a bleak, nightmare-inducing reality. I don't get it. If you had the power to create a whole new world, why would you make it like this? It's awful.
I love Brett Dalton and it's good to see him again, but damn, I hate Ward's bitch ass. Watching that slimy motherfucker put his hands on Daisy made me want to throw up. And then he turned out to be a good guy? That's a twist I didn't see coming. I think it's very cool. It doesn't redeem real-life Ward's actions, of course, but it's interesting to see a different version of the character, one that isn't a homicidal lunatic.
Evil Fitz is terrifying. His dad must've been one messed up dude. Also, I sincerely hope that Jemma will punch Aida in the face for seducing him. I was so grossed out when they kissed. It's just wrong.
I appreciated all the little things that Coulson had in his file. The references to Tahiti, the Cellist, LA Quake (good one, writers) and Lola made me smile.
Jemma, my baby! My tiny badass! I love her so much. She just doesn't give a fuck. She'd fight all of HYDRA by herself armed with nothing but a plastic fork and a lot of determination if she had the chance. And yet another wonderful performance from Elizabeth. I shouldn't even be surprised anymore, but she still blows my mind.
"- Are HYDRA all Nazis?
- Every last one of them."
Cue the "My longest yeah boy ever" video.
"Daisy, they're coming! You need to do something before Psycho Stalker shoots us!"
I've never wanted to marry anyone more in my life. Your fave could never.
To be honest, the thing I would like to see the most in the Framework is FitzSimmons meeting. It could be such a fantastic scene. Just imagine, Fitz interrogating Jemma or something and feeling oddly drawn to her despite the fact that she's an enemy of HYDRA, Jemma desperately trying to get him to remember, emotions all around... I really want this to happen.
Seeing Daisy with long hair and hearing people call her Skye made me reflect on how much she's changed since the show started. I definitely prefer season 4 Daisy to season 1 Skye. I mean, I've loved her since day one, but her character arc has been phenomenal and I adore the person she's become.
Coulson remembers Daisy! Agents, assemble! Aida's electrical ass won't kick itself!
I can't wait for the next episode. I'm so excited that I can't breathe.
"Seriously, you idiots haven't figured this out by now? It all started when we blew up the time pigs, the Time Masters. Now history's all screwed up, and it's up to us to unscrew it up. But half the time, we screw things up even worse. So don't call us heroes, we're something else. We're legends. Who writes this crap anyway?"
I've been laughing for an hour. No joke. There are tears in my eyes, my stomach hurts and I'm wheezing. This is so perfect and in character for Mick. And it sums up the show really well.
The Legends have a chore wheel, celebrate Christmas together and they actually called themselves a family. I love this team dynamic so much. They're all my children, including Stein. My stupid, violent children, getting in trouble all the time and making poor life choices. What can I say? They've stolen my heart.
If you have read the book, the movie was shit compared to the book. If you compare tv show to the book, it's shit again. Approach this as something new, dont compare it to the book. It has a potential, lets see how well it goes.
Why this show always try to make us cry ..........
Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy. Fuck that. Skye till I die.
Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy. Fuck that. Skye till I die.
I have no idea why there would be naysayers for this movie! The acting was great. The sacrifices was realistic considering the situation. I loved how they showed the underground network, it all made sense.
I also like how they didn’t focus on the aliens’ look, but the human struggle. Outstanding!!
canceled after 1 episode ... -.- after a great episode, of i may say.
Michelle Gomez (Miss Wardell) has been killing it. I expected no less from Missy.
The showrunners, probably: Okay, guys, this is our big season finale. We're sparing no expense. We need it to be epic. There's going to be a huge fight between Mallus and a perfect being of pure light that the Legends are going to create using their Totems. Any ideas as to how it's going to go down?
A writer: Oh, I don't know, how about A GIANT FUCKING BEEBO KILLING MALLUS WITH THE POWER OF A CUDDLE?
The showrunners, losing their goddamn minds, tears of joy streaming down their faces: Mark, you are a fucking genius.
Basically, whenever I think that we've reached maximum craziness on this show, they go ahead and set the bar even higher. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. I spent the entire final showdown in a fetal position, gasping for air. My stomach still hurts. I fucking love LoT so much. Who would've thought back in season 1 that it would become the most entertaining Arrowverse show, huh? Certainly not this gal! And I have to say, I've never been happier to be proven wrong. These idiots have stolen my heart. I simply adore each and every one of them. The new additions this season, Zari (or, as I like to call her, The Actual Love Of My Life) and Wally (The Flash didn't deserve you, sweetie, but don't worry, LoT is going to treat you right) have fit in seamlessly, just like Nate and Amaya did last season. What a bunch of losers. I would die for them. I can't keep a smile off my face when I'm thinking about them. They deserve an Emmy for Best Ensemble.
Sara Lance is the queen of everything. She's easily one of my favorite characters ever. Her big speech was amazing. I couldn't stop grinning. I would follow her into any battle.
I got sad about Amaya, but Maisie is still set to be a series regular next season, so I guess we don't have to say goodbye to this lovely character just yet. I'm not sure about Rip though. Could he really be dead this time? I... don't know how I feel about this. On one hand, yup, he can fuck right off, but on the other, he did kind of sacrifice himself to help the team, so it feels wrong to trash talk him?
Damien Dahrk sacrificing himself for his daughter made me emotional. He did some truly horrible things, but he managed not to be selfish in the end. Nora's pain was palpable. I've grown very attached to her character, I hope she'll return at some point in the future.
Jax! He's married, and he has a beautiful baby girl named Martina! I'm not crying, you're crying. I was so happy to see him. Helen of Troy, Good Kuasa and Jonah Hex were fun additions as well.
Jes Macallan is coming back next season, which means the Avalance ship is still sailing! Sara doesn't have a great track record with romantic relationships, so I'm delighted that this one is going to stick for at least a little longer. She deserves some happiness.
With Constantine joing the cast full time next season, things are bound to get even more insane. I can't tell you how excited I am. I do kind of feel bad for the Legends, though. They got like what, 2 minutes of peace and quiet? No rest for the wicked, I guess.
Season 4, here we come!
Pretty funny episode this one. Wonder what mommy's next move is. Loved the new dynamic between Linda and Luci. Reverses roles out there.
Best exchange in the episode:
Douchetective: "My entire life imploded because of you".
Luci: "What?"
Douchetective: "My marriage! My job. My snacks.
Luci:" What?"
Douchetective: "I know you ate my pudding".
Luci: "You're really going to smite me over a tub of sweetened goo?"
Douchetective: "You're damn right I am"
Dan is right, someone messes with my snacks and I do not respond. Sidenote, do not mess with my food. Dan is right, stealing snacks can end tragically.
That was one hell of an episode (no pun intended). Best episode of the season so far. I loved everything. I was in total shock and awe. Everything was just perfect. Lucifer's guilt, Amenadiel's blame, Maze and Trixie, detective douche getting punched in the face. Tom Ellis can truly act. He was terrific this episode. He always is, but today, he hit the spot. Comedy, tragedy, drama, everything is spot on. In this week's episode I just wanted to give him a hug. Yes. Hug the Devil . Just give the Devil a big big hug.
I also loved the music in this episode. That was amazing. Kaleo's Way Down We Go while they were looking at Uriel's grave was incredible. The pace, the rhythm, everything. And when you think this can't get any better Lucifer plays Unforgiven in the piano. That sing is my blindspot. I simply love it. I rewatched that part more times that I can even count. I just loved that scene.
The only thing I found a little weird was the ending. Sure they could've made him look more terrifying. He looked pitiful in a way. Maze looked truly more terrifying than him. Sure they couldve pulled a better one together. At the beginning of season 1 he really looked different.
Anyways, a great applause to writers, directors and actors. This episode was shockingly beautiful.
I love kickass ladies more than anything, so I liked this episode. I do think the "#feminism" thing was kind of cringeworthy though. Like, girls teaming up and kicking ass was literally the focus of this episode, you don't have to tell us that it's feminist. We know. I'm a feminist myself and I'm 100% here for female empowerment, but the way they tried to bring attention to it every 5 seconds was grating. If you keep making a big deal out of powerful and capable women, it will never be seen as something normal and common (which, you know, it is). Instead, it will feel gimmick-y. Fortunately, this was probably a one-time thing and Caitlin and Iris will go back to being casual badasses in the next episode.
My favorite part was that Caitlin and Iris had so many scenes together. Seriously, I've been waiting for so long for their friendship to develop into something more than just work colleagues. This is the brOTP that we deserve.
Drunk Barry was so hilarious. My sweet boy, crying over Jack and Rose. But he's a scientist, he should know that just because the door was big enough for the two of them, it doesn't mean that it could hold both of them. There's this thing called buoyancy, you know. They totally could've taken turns though.
Also, did Felicity really say "The Incredible Hulk"? Are they allowed to name-drop Marvel heroes?
Joseph Gilgun deserves some recognition. Bloody brilliant perfomance all season long.
Yup. Just made a grown ass man cry. Thank you!
That scene in the quinjet was the best of the entire season. I kinda predicted Lincoln would be the one but still, that was a sob fest :'(
Hive's new look was badass. Those final moments with Lincoln and Hive was great too.
I fucking hate when they show such time jumps. I mean why!? I NEED ANSWERS. I am really excited to see the chemistry with holden radcliffe and Fitz/Simmons.
Great wrap. 10/10. See you all next season folks :)
Omg the feelings that this episode brought to me, astonishing!! Brought some tears to my eyes, it's been a long time since a series touched me soo deep!! Amazing work Bobbi and Mack!!
Great season. Need more Katarina with a shotgun smoking a cig, lol
