I never thought I would find a show where an Oreo is a plot device but Ghosts made it happen
Dead at how badly Jay and Sam tried to gaslight Freddy into believing that ghosts don't exist.
I really thought they might be able to use the ghost trap to move Sasappis's girlfriend from the car to the house.
Pete informing Flower and Thor, who are making out, that he's in there with them and then exclaiming "That's not what I meant!" when Flower reached out and grabbed him by his shirtfront.
Freddy quits for good. Sam and Jay have fired him once, driven him to quit another time, caused his girlfriend to dump him, and he doesn't want to work someplace that has ghosts.
Lucifer takes a vacation from hell to be a detective on earth. No thanks. I'm dropping this show.
So Liz spent all last season as americas most wanted and then publicly exonerated and now nobody knows who she is and she can go undercover? BS
That was a lot better than I went in expecting. This show could turn out to be fantastic if done correctly. I hope it will.
Maeve's plot is the best of the show yet.
It's alright. Definitely not WandaVision levels and nowhere near the same hype for the next episode. It's only the first episode, though
Shout out to Aisha Dee for speaking out about Kat's storyline.
maybe if people would stop being in denial we wouldn't be in the situation we are in and wouldn't need telling about how were trashing the planet.
It was boring, and with the amount of shows that come later this summer (handmaids, stranger things, legion, preacher, pose etc) I decided that this isn't worth my time.
A pilot is supposed to excite you for what's coming next, not make you count the minutes until it ends
I don't know about you guys, but I found this season incredibly boring.
I truly dislike jump scares, not because they scare the shit out of me (they do!), but because they're a cop-out, a lazy option overused in today's horror. But - holy shit! - that scene with the sisters arguing with each other in the car... THAT'S how you do a jump scare! Also, nice way to stop a fight. Then, Theo's monologue right after was emotionally intense, I could feel her despair creeping inside me. This show can be slow and boring, at times, but the acting is consistently well above average.
events are moving extra slow... feels like there's no story to tell.
The villains in this one were so over-the-top and cartoonish. It was hilarious. I really liked it, this show takes itself way too seriously sometimes, so it was a nice change of pace to see something so utterly ridiculous and fun.
Oh my God, Beebo! I hope this becomes a running gag throughout the Arrowverse. And it reminded me that Legends of Tomorrow needs to hurry up and come back already.
Everything Ralph says is fucking gold. His messed-up knee was so disgusting and I actually cringed when I saw it. So much for invincibility, huh? His costume looks good though! And Elongated Man isn't a particularly creative name, but it's fine, I guess.
I just love Harry and Cisco yelling at Caitlin to bring out Killer Frost. It's so damn funny. And I enjoy the fact that the ice queen is like friends with them now? It's great.
What was up with that girl at the end? I have terrible memory, so I don't even know if we've seen her before or if she just popped up randomly in this episode. She's cute, I like her. I wonder what her role will be.
I did like this episode, but they did kind of just gloss over the most difficult and major problem of the entire episode, making it vanish, just like that.
Boom, Barry suddenly recovers completely, and conveniently has no memory of the psychological effects of long-term isolation. I'm not complaining that he suddenly recovered to save Iris, but that he completely recovered, after saving Iris, for no reason, whatsoever.
I like his augmented powers, but not the basically skipped plot.
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!
Deeply disturbing. But an excellent chapter. Makes me wonder what awaits me next chapter.
As a huge fan of Supernatural, this series should have ended few years ago. This season it is a rewrite of old topics, for example: Sam trying to save Dean (and vice versa), some beloved character's death, doing actions with good intentions but worst consecuences, and on, and on, and on...
Supernatural has ceased to amaze me and it has become in a predictable TV show. Years ago, I thought that the best solution to end this series was to kill both brothers, and I still do. They have survived any kind of danger. And when the new antagonist or any kind of stuff jeorpardises their life every new season, for me, it's no longer credible. It's a shame that an awesome TV series has turned into this.
Another great episode. Probably one of my favourites of the entire show, to be honest.
I couldn't stop cracking up for the first 5 minutes. The scene with The Machine experiencing a facial recognition error was shown at New York Comic Con last October. I watched it on YouTube months ago, and I thought it was pure gold, but I was sure it was just a fun, little bonus. I never expected it to be an actual scene from an actual episode, but I'm so glad it is. The cast's impressions of each other were hilarious. Amy Acker's Reese and Finch were particularly on point. We also got Root in bunny slippers and her and Finch redecorating the subway. It was nice to have some happy stuff before things got serious again.
The Machine going crazy was really sad for me, especially when Harold realised that she was suffering, reliving her deaths over and over. His speech about things not being black and white and about people doing their best really touched me. Harold was a different man when he created The Machine, and since then he's had to learn that good and bad aren't always mutually exclusive, which is exactly what The Machine needed to understand in this episode. I love how they draw parallels between The Machine and her human agents.
How great is the relationship between Root and Harold? They've come so far. She kidnapped him when they first met, and now they're working together, fighting against Samaritan together, living together, and he's willing to sacrifice The Machine if he has to choose between her and Root? I'm in tears. And Bear likes Root too!
Of course that random guy we saw in the middle of the episode wasn't random. I really should've seen it coming.
The ending was amazing as well. Team Machine on a picnic? That's some fanfiction shit right there, and I love it. I know it won't last, but they deserve some peace and quiet every once in a while.
Far and away the best episode Agents of Shield has ever produced. The only episode that can give it a run for its money is last season's spotlight episode on how May earned her nickname. There's a lesson there -- centering an episode on an individual story, particularly one that centers around one of the better actors in the cast, gives the show a focus that is often lacking when trying to juggle multiple intersecting plotlines at once.
This was a hell of a showcase for Elizabeth Henstridge. The production design team helped. (Production design as a plus in 'Agents of Shield"? I"m as surprised as you are.) The blue tint was a cheap way to sell the alienness of the world, but it totally worked, and the dessert topography really sold the desolateness of the environment and contributed to the sense of hopelessness in that world.
But Henstridge is what made the episode work. She sold the isolation, the small moments of crestfallen loneliness and discouragement, the little joys of success and friendship, the simple humanity of a survival story. Her burp, her wistfulness when she says "My dad would like you," and her conversations with an imaginary Fitz (a nice nod toward Fitz doing the same routine last season) all made her feel like a three-dimensional person in an extreme situation. There's a sense that this is Marvel's take on 'Castaway' or even 'Last Man on Earth', and doing this kind of laser-focused narrative requires a lot of the actors involved. These types of stories are, by necessity, character pieces; Henstridge was more than up to the challenge, and it deepened my appreciation for Simmons.
The actor who played Will was pretty good as well, and while his story could have felt too cliche, it worked in the context of the episode as a whole. Really, this felt like a well-structured science fiction short story as much as it did an episode of an ongoing series, and that's not a knock. Knowing Fitz and Simmons's relationship helped give certain moments more weight and significance, but it could almost work as a standalone piece. That's how strong and self-contained this was.
There was also a legitimate sense of menace from the planet. The zomibe-like astronaut, the tentacle creature, and the dust storms all suggested something frightening and alien about this world. It prompted so many great emotional moments from the two characters stuck on it. Doing an episode like this, so unlike AoS's usual M.O., was something of a gamble, but it paid off like gangbusters here.
First episode was really good but since then it's become extremely boring. Turned from an intriguing dystopian scifi into a whodunit murder mystery.
Funny how the people complaining about 'sexuality being rubbed in their faces' had zero problems with Jonathan & his girlfriend being in bed together last week.
Michelle Yeoh is just so damn good in every scene she's in. She was an excellent bit of casting. This was a really fun episode and so far I'm loving this season.
This second part doesn't have me very impressed so far. Not any interesting or well developed plot points as of yet, and the characters are also feeling a bit dumber. Hope it picks up.
I think it's amazing how much I don't care.
Just throwing together all the slasher movie tropes that ever existed doesn't make a good horror story.
Really sweet scene at the end with Petra and Jane. I love their sisterhood.
Skipping this episode because I care nothing about any of these characters.
the blurring thing becomes annoying and distracting
I'm very pleased to say that I really loved this! As much as I enjoyed the premiere, it didn't fully feel like a Doctor Who episode to me. This one, however, absolutely did. I think it captured the essence of the show perfectly.
Something that Chibnall does very skillfully is create an engaging mystery that really draws you in. I was on the edge of my seat for a big part of the episode, waiting to find out what happened to the population of the planet. And what do you know, it looks like the Stenza are going to be a recurring theme this season! I'm curious to see how that will play out. And what - or who - could the timeless child be?
One of the strongest points of this season is the cinematography. Some of the wide shots that we got in this episode looked like they belonged in a Star Wars movie. And the music is excellent as well. It's kind of subtler than what I've gotten used to with Doctor Who, but it's lovely. The new composer is doing a great job.
Another strong point is obviously the acting. While I do think that Jodie, just like every Doctor, will need a few episodes to fully come into her own, I love everything she's given us so far. The quick wit, the quirks, the boundless energy, the enthusiasm and the charm that she brings to the role - it's all exactly right. And I'll be honest, the emotional moments in this episode really got me. Her face when she saw the hologram of the Ghost Monument and realized it was the TARDIS! And the reunion was so soft and gentle and wonderful! I actually cried happy tears when she said "You've done yourself up! Very nice". I adore Thirteen. And the companions are growing on me too. I like the interactions between the three of them and the Doctor. I can't wait to see these individual dynamics develop over the course of the season.
The opening credits are awesome. I've never seen the classic series, but the theme has a very retro vibe to it and I like the color scheme. It looks like a kaleidoscope. I dig it.
And finally, the TARDIS! She's redecorated all right! The interior looks more organic, kind of like Nine's and Ten's were. I liked the sleek, mechanical designs of the Moffat era, but this one is so appropriately alien. The biscuit dispenser is a cute little touch, especially considering that they put it there as a gift to Jodie and packed it with her favorite custard creams.
Overall, I thought this was a really great episode. Now that we have the TARDIS back, I'm excited to see what adventures await us.

To be honest, I'm not really feeling this whole story arc. I don't know, maybe it's just Teen Wolf fatigue (I think we can all agree that the show is long past its season 3 prime). But season 6B has mostly pissed me off so far. The idea that the citizens of Beacon Hills find out about the supernatural and rise up against them is so annoying. If I were Scott, I'd be like "LOL, bye, you bunch of ungrateful bitches, hope you'll enjoy dying at the hands of the next monster that comes along without me here to stop it" and get the fuck out of there. And don't even get me started on other issues, like: why the fuck did they decide to introduce all those new kids like Nolan and Sydney? I couldn't care less about them. Why are they bringing back old characters at the last possible minute? Also, the fact that Gerard is the main villain again bores me. Scott should've killed that old geezer a long time ago. Lastly, I know Dylan O'Brien is like famous now and doing big movies (which he totally deserves, but that's not the point), but leaving the show just before the finish line kind of feels like a dick move. Stiles has been such an integral part of this thing since day one. It's not the same without him. Plus, as a Stydia shipper, I feel absolutely robbed. They just got together, for fuck's sake. And while I do enjoy Scott and Malia (definitely the highlight of season 6B), the rest is just a big mess, which will probably leave a bad taste in my mouth long after the show ends. But alas, one more to go.
