(damn 5 words rule)
I sincerely don't know whos gonna be alive at the end.
I always say a name and then BAM! End up dead.
This last episodes are intense.
I'm really impressed with this season so far. I think the Mad Hatter is one of the most underrated in Batman's rouge gallery and is utilized very well here.
A decent ending to the season, found the killer reveal to be a bit predictable but really hope this show doesn't get cancelled and we end up getting a third season
First of all, I am THRILLED to have Amy Acker back on my screen in a leading role. To be honest, I thought that playing a suburban mother of two would be kind of a downgrade for her after what she got to do during her run as Root on Person of Interest, but Caitlin Strucker is a character who experiences tremendous emotional turmoil right from the first episode and Amy absolutely nails it. Not that I ever had any doubts about her performance, she's knocked every role she's ever played out of the park, so I was sure this wouldn't be any different. So yeah, even if this show was terrible, I'd still watch it just for her. But lucky for me, it's not terrible at all. The story is interesting and you root for the characters pretty much from the get-go. The special effects are impressive for a TV show as well. This pilot did everything it was supposed to: established the overarching plot and introduced our heroes and villains, but at the same time it didn't drag at all and kept things pretty fast-paced and intense. The cast includes a lot of talented actors who all do a great job. The kids are a bit awkward, but that's usually the case with child actors and they'll probably improve with time. Overall, if the show keeps this up, it should be a big success and I'm excited to see where it'll go in the future.
Supergirl: does a Valentine's Day episode a week after Valentine's Day
The Flash: does a Valentine's Day Friend's Day episode two weeks after Valentine's Day
Yeah, sure, that makes sense.
BARRY PROPOSED TO IRIS! WHAT A GOOD, PURE, HAPPY MOMENT!
I would love to have H.R. and Harry together in every episode. They're hilarious. But I think Harry took things a bit too far. I mean, it's not H.R.'s fault that he's not a genius. And he's doing his best. He's kind and charming and takes it upon himself to cheer up the team with an endless supply of freshly-brewed coffee, holiday decorations and gift cards. How can you not love him? He's the Mom Friend of Team Flash. Okay, no, Caitlin's the mom . H.R. is more like the fun, artsy aunt who lets you eat ice cream for dinner, stay up past your bedtime and watch horror films, and then feeds you a ton of chocolate and drops you off at home so your mom and dad have to deal with your sugar rush. I feel like I might be over-analyzing this a bit.
I knew Harry was lying. It's not like him to open up to another person about his problems.
Savitar is back to fuck things up. I'm excited.
LOVED the intro! Let's do that for every season premiere and finale from now on.
Why are the fairies such assholes? And why is Julia, of all people, the only one left who can still do magic?
Shit got deep this episode!
I can't believe Alice is really dead. Bummer.
Will the white lady play a bigger part in the future episodes? She is in the cover of season two.
I like grown up Elliot and his sexually aggressive wife LOL
The flashbacks in this episode were some of the best ones in years. We learned the origins of Oliver's costume, his weapon of choice and the opening monologue of the show. Talia is an awesome character. She's Nyssa half-sister or something, right?
I like how the metahumans' powers are connected to what they were doing when the particle accelerator exploded. It does raise some questions, though. What if someone was throwing up when the dark matter hit them? Would they be able to, I don't know, defeat their enemies with radioactive vomit?
I liked Felicity's storyline. It was kind of hilarious to see a hacktivist groupie geek out over meeting her hero. I wonder what Felicity's going to do with all the information she has now. I also enjoy her relationship with Rory. But I can't believe that a young kid like him doesn't know what "IRL" means.
Oliver and the recruits are becoming quite a good team. Rene is a lot more likeable now than he was at the beginning of the season.
Dinah? Freaking Dinah? I'm not crying, you're crying. No one can ever replace Laurel, but Dinah made a hell of a first impression. I already like her.
Agents Sam and Billy Koenig! We haven't seen them in forever! And a bunch of Star Wars references right at the beginning. They always make my nerdy heart so happy.
I'm dying at Sam's comment about people writing Quake fanfiction. It's so funny when they break the fourth wall. And shipping Daisy with Black Widow? I honestly can't tell you what I'm thinking right now. But boy, if I wasn't gay before...
Fitz's father has been a pretty big mystery since the beginning of the show. The only thing we really knew about him was that he left when Fitz was a kid. I've always had a weird feeling that someday he would turn out to be important to the plot. And look at that, I was right.
I love that no one knows exactly how many Koenings are at SHIELD. It's a hilarious running gag.
I fully support Jemma and Mack being the Co-Captains of the Leopold Fitz Defense Squad.
I've never been so relieved about two characters getting cockblocked before they could kiss. Honestly, this whole storyline with LMD May can choke.
L.T. Koenig is a woman! What a delightful surprise!
I don't know much about espionage, but playing a game of Hot Potato with one of the most powerful objects in the world? That doesn't seem very safe, does it? Do those Agents even know how to agent?
I'll never be over the way Fitz says "Jemma". It's like music to my ears.
Jemma finally figured out what's going on with May! Where's my champagne?
Oh, so they want to kill Coulson. Well, I'm pretty sure that if Loki couldn't kill him - at least not enough for him to stay dead - then a bunch of guys in a submarine won't succeed either.
Really exciting episode. However, I knew Sarah being care less enough to tell Damien Dahk about his future wasn't smart. Then again she's not the smart one, just the one who travels in time to kick ass and get laid.
Fitting they called this last episode Loose Ends. Since they cancelled this show, leaving many loose ends.
This, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how you do horror!
"That's not quite what I was expecting," Alfred said to himself.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit... what.an.ending! Love this show btw :-)
Well, it's official. I ship a human with an AI. I can't help myself. Rip and Gideon's relationship is absolutely delightful.
Wow, Gideon is really attractive. It was nice to finally have a face to go along with the voice.
That scene between Amaya and Gertrude was amazing. I loved it. I kind of wanted the team to keep Gertie as a pet. Can you imagine? Any crisis from now on, any bad guy, any apocalypse... All they'd have to do would be to unleash the T-Rex and watch her wreck everything in her path. I'm also still giggling a little bit because of how absurdly tiny the T-Rex's arms were. Look at this apex predator, scary and ferocious, flapping its little hands around. It's kind of adorable.
What if Nate is Amaya's daughter's father? What if he decides to stay with her in 1942? I can't even begin to comprehend how much it would mess up the timeline, he and his grandfather existing together at the same moment in time and being roughly the same age.
To be honest, Rip was a lot more interesting when he was evil, but I guess they had to bring him back at some point. I just hope that Sara remains Captain at least for a little while. She's a much better and more competent leader than Rip ever was.
Nice to see Misha Collins (Supernatural) guest star. Although it's disappointing that he didn't get too much to do. The episode was exciting nevertheless.
This show has plenty of viewers and fans. Not sure why the next episode might be the last, for good. Definitely needs a season 2!
Man, I love flashbacks. Especially ones ambiguously captioned "some time ago". Especially ones involving Baby Agents Phil Coulson and Melinda May flirting and kicking ass. I enjoyed them so much.
Am I the only one who thinks that the Superior looks a teeny tiny bit like Vladimir Putin? I just can't unsee it. It actually makes the story kind of hilarious.
Why does Daisy even bother with hand-to-hand combat? She could have just quaked the Superior into a wall and moved on. She'd have saved a lot of time.
Aida is deliciously creepy. "Even filth has a purpose." Chills. Big, fat chills running up and down my arms.
I will never get over the way Fitz's accent gets thicker when he's upset. I'm obsessed with the Scottish accent (seriously, how do Scots do it? What kind of sorcery is this?).
It's up to FitzSimmons to save the world now. Practically every other relevant character on the show has been replaced by LMDs, leaving just our favorite genius duo to come up with a solution. I was actually kind of scared for a second that the writers would squeeze a plot twist inside a plot twist and make Fitz or Simmons an LMD who fabricated evidence to throw the other off their trail, but thankfully, it seems that the writers have gotten over their obsession with hurting the Science Babies and tearing them apart. I can't wait to see what will happen next.
"Oh, sweetheart... That's not chicken."
Mick - 1. Sabrina - 0.
I'm absolutely loving this show so far. Dee can do no wrong!
Constantly on my toes throughout the entire episode, and the new "bad place guy" charecter Trevor is very in your face and is played well by the actor. This got me so exited to see the next episode. I can't wait to see how it turns out!
OMG!! Tomas!! You did it!!!
I always tought he was so weak... now he is the chosen.
María is a monster!! Now she wants revenge!!
I'm glad the Rance family is alive.
I need a second season. This is a great show.
From the beginning of the episode it was SO obvious the monster is a hologram. Bored now
I hope this show gets renewed for a few seasons. It'll be cool seeing John rising through the ranks, eventually to becoming a detective, and all the struggles he encounters. It better happen.
I'm a big fan of time travel stories so that's kept me watching this show. I'm glad I did as this show is getting better all the time. It's good to see old school DC characters like Commander Steel and Vixen on the team, both are looking like they're gonna be interesting members.
The story was decent enough tho maybe a lil standard, evil Shogun terrorising village, forcing one of the women to marry him, hero enters, falls for girl, must fight Shogun to save girl and her village.
The surprise was the destruction of Ray's Atom suit, now what's he gonna do?
"I have faith"
Those three words alone hit me right where it hurts. They pierced my soul. I mean it, 13 seasons in and SPN keeps impressing me in ways I didn't think it was possible. That line being uttered by Dean was something I never thought he'd say.
You know what was the strangest thing? That this didn't come from Sam (or even Cas) who's always been the hopeful one. It came from Dean a guy who has refused to believe over and over again despite everything he's seen; a guy who back in season 1 refused to believe in anything except from the two of them; a guy who in season 4, after meeting an actual angel and being saved by him still refused to believe; a guy who in season 11 after meeting God Himself and talking to him in one of the most emotional, heartbreaking and moving scenes I remember, still refused to believe that God had faith in humanity. Yet, that same guy has faith now. There's nothing more to say. Just wow.
SPN can have me in stitches in one scene and had me tearing up in another. The feels. That ending scene was just beautiful. It reminded me of the one in last season's "The Memory Remains" when they carved their initials in the table. These kind of scenes make me really emotional and give me the feeling that I'm not prepared for this show to end.
"I mean, you know. You ever feel like we're doing nothing but playing defense? You know, bouncing from one apocalypse to the next? I'm not saying we don't do good. But no matter how many people we save, there will be more people that need saving. No matter how many monsters we kill... There's always gonna be another one around the corner"
I'm digging this role reversal. Sam's always been the hopeful one, yet losing Jack and realizing that Mary is trapped in Apocalypse World and that every plan they come up with ends up backfiring is destroying him. He really needs some brotherly therapy or something as simple as a win. Dean got his win with Cas being back and now Sam needs his own. I love that Dean is now the one with faith when he's always been the non-believer and the skeptical one in the family. His talk with Padre Lucca was beautiful and it had an effect on him.
I didn't have high hopes for this episode. If only because of the premise of the episode. Those standalone episodes are normally Monster of the Week ones and I love them. However, this one was different. There were so many things going on at the same time that it got a bit confusing to me. I blame sleep deprivation for it.
However, I ended up liking the episode a lot. It was different than the rest and that was because of its unique style. The mob, religion, stolen relics, Italian gangsters and that music. The music alone carried the episode, along with the lighting and the camera shots. Once again, kudos to Amanda Tapping. What a well-directed episode.
The dialogue was fluid, character interactions were great, everything about Father Lucca was amazing and the rest of the characters were the right fit for the tome of the episode. That was a great homage to the noir movies. The music was on point, adding to the episode the atmosphere needed.
Dean: "Look at you. You're like a Boy
Scout. You're always prepared"
Sam : "Yeah. You're like a... Yeah? I don't
know what you're like"
Dean: "Yeah. Thanks"
Dean: "Okay, I'm just saying, you're taking
a lot of shots to the head lately. I
mean, I know that Disney Princess
hair gives you some padding, but..."
Those two had me in stitches this episode. I was glad Dean mentioned Sam's continuous concussions. Let episode he was knocked down by Donatello (twice), and tonight again. Sam should think about wearing a helmet regardless of his Disney Princess hair, lol. I've lost count of how many times he's been knocked out by being hit on the head.
Speaking of funny dialogues, Dean talking about what he'd do if someone sells his baby had me rolling on the floor. What made it even funnier was his dead serious expression. "Murder. I'd murder 'em all. There'll be torture first. There'll be, like, a lot of torture, and then there'd...it would end up with death. If I can't have her, nobody can". I'm surprised he didn't kill the thug who drove the Impala immediately there, to be honest. By the way, seeing Dean in the backseat of the Impala was weird.
Padre Lucca! Everything about him was just perfect. He was so damn adorable. It was way too obvious that he was going to be "The Most Holy Man", if only because the "Saint Ignatius" stuff seemed pretty made-up. By the way, I'm guessing Supernatural is where Killgore went after The Flash, lol. I enjoyed the Padre's character and backstory. He felt so pure and down-to-earth. I liked how he was a man of faith, but when it comes to God, he knows what's up. He even pointed it out in his conversation with Dean: "I didn't mean that God would reach down and protect us. Of course that's not going to happen. But I believe that all good things are God's things. And what your brother's doing, it's a good thing".
Something about the way he talked about changing the world regardless of how screwed up it is filled my heart with warm feelings. "Guys, the world will never be perfect, but if good men do good things, it can be better". Lovely.
So one down, three to go. I want to see the adventures of Cas dodging bullets in Syria while trying to find the fruit from the Tree of Life. I still remember how easy it was for Crowley to get a hold of the forbidden fruit back in season 10. Things were easier when Crowley was around.
One scene that I particularly enjoyed more than the rest was that gunfight with that holy music as background. That scene was beautiful.
Tonight's was a weird episode. I couldn't get more clichéd but I liked it more than I expected. Sure it won't suit everyone's taste, but it was an otherwise fun episode with great brother scenes.
And next episode is THE episode. I'm so excited about ScoobyNatural. It socks that we have to wait two weeks for it but I think it'll be worth it. It seems a very Trickstery episode and I can't wait for it.
We meat again, Channel Zero. ;-)
