Batmasterson posted:I think the Fitz Simmons stuff has been done so many times in this show that it is now incredibly funny to me, and I hope they never stop doing it. Pretty much this. Especially with how sudden it was this time. Also we need them to get back together soon for the amazing "well I married future you then he died. Also, you're scary as gently caress and tortured Daisy"

I really like how rather than an epiphany which solves everything their conclusion is "we totally need therapy" If only there was a convenient SHIELD shrink who was familiar with what they'd been through and also had first-hand experience of dealing with their darker side hurting people they cared about

Who would have thought that the plucky dweebs would turn out to be such badasses and kinda cold and brutal jesus dude that's messed up I think this guy is legit a psycho. Like for Fitz there's the poo poo with Daisy, spacing people, the cheese wiring etc etc. Simmons is kinda behind the curve, what other really cold poo poo has she done other than disintegrate Bakshi?

Last season was pretty great, but this year is giving me the same joyously comic vibe as S4. Aliens, clones, fire breathing bikers, it should be completely absurd but everything is done with just the right level of seriousness, it's funny, but never silly. Kinda hoping Fitzsimmons go on their own little drug tour during their journey home.

PoI is a weird loving show - crime procedural cyberpunk conspiracy mashup. It mostly works though. It's goofy sense of humour is amazing though - badass vigilantes going all gooey over babies/good dogs in their secret lair, the various machine glitches, fat policeman going on an epic and romantic adventure with a hot Russian (almost entirely offscreen), its barmy. I like how far the procedural bits run with its premise though. For the uninitiated - the idea is that the government has a super-AI Panopticon, and our vigilantes have a backdoor to the machine which supplies them the social security number of the eponymous People of Interest, but with no guidance on whether they're the perpetrator or the victim. So the basic gist is they track down the person, figure out what crime is about to happen, and shoot peoples kneecaps until the problem is solved. But they take that gimmick of "all we have is an SSN" and twist and fold it into every circumstance you care to think of. Multiple people with the same SSN? One person with multiple SSN? Maybe the victim is really the perp? Maybe the perp is really the victim? Maybe the victim is the perp in another crime? Maybe the perp is the victim of the victim they're the perp for? It's very agents of shield in the way its genre savvy enough to play around with its premise, but it never makes fun of the premise.

Re-watching S1 and its rough about the edges but it still has some great moments. The end of eye-spy is a legit awesome twist. FZZT is also pretty emotional, and Fitz faffing about with the parachute while Ward grabs it and jumps without a second thought owns. Makes me feel like he actually did care about them, he probably was a bit sad to drop em in the ocean.

Whole episode was great, and I feel like they balance all the different spy/superhero stuff way better than the movies ever did (before the movies became CGI smashy fightman nonsense) Really looking forward to a Coulson LMD that knows he's an LMD. Coulson lived for SHIELD so I feel he's the most likely person to be okay with him being a robot.

LividLiquid posted:I haven't rewatched in a while. Do I have a total block on Amy being abusive or was I just not looking for it? She was kind of dismissive and constantly treating him as a backup boyfriend when The Doctor wasn't around, and making fun of him for being a nurse and not a doctor. Eventually it morphed into a weird one-upping when each was trying to prove they were more in love through ridiculous grand gestures like spending 2000 years as a robot roman or leaping into a black hole or some bullshit. Kind of like Fitzsimmonds, but with none of the playful squabbling , none of the self awareness, none of the actual developing as individuals and a couple. Fucks sake, when did Fitzsimmonds become relationship goals?

Azhais posted:Current Doctor is really being let down by the writers having no idea how to do endings It's really tragic, because the cast are so good. Capaldi was a great irritable Doctor, evil Mary Poppins chewing the scenery was a delight, and Moffat ruined it by being so horribly up his own rear end. Same with the new series - Jodie Whittaker and Bradley Walsh are a fantastic double act (other two are...okay) and they're getting the lamest, blandest plots I've ever seen. Demons of the Punjab was great though, absolute top-tier of what Doctor Who should be doing with its historical episodes

Bruceski posted:Marvel superhero, Disney princess, here's crossing fingers for Jedi. Given her fighting skills it would seem a waste to not have her be a jedi. Although "stern and uptight warrior" is already her thing, would be cool seeing her playing someone rougher and looser. Although the brief glimpses we see of pre-traumatised, happy and chill May are pretty wonderful. The S4 flashback of her flirting with Phil is great, and it's such a  moment when she's joking about how her date with some psychologist dude is probably gonna be awful.

Had a rewatch binge of the first four seasons, and holy poo poo everything about Fitzsimmons is wonderful. Simmons slowly turning into a badass spy ("I think jemma has been kidnapped.... 4 or 5 times since I've known her"), the wonderful awkwardness of their early relationship (and a clearly horny Simmons cutting through Fitz's hesitance about sex) The highpoint has to be when Simmons first sees Aida, pulls Fitz aside to comment on how beautiful she is, and pauses just long enough for the audience to roll their eyes at the incoming forced misunderstanding before revealing she instantly knew aida was a robot. They skirt a little too close to playing flesh-and-blood Aida as a murderous scorned woman, but I think they do a decent job of focusing on how impossible it is to handle All Human Emotions Ever when they suddenly hit you at the same time.

I'm kind of annoyed that they gave away "to save SHIELD, we have to save Hydra" in the trailers, because Koenig's casual "old man Mallick" line was perfectly timed for maximum "wait, what?"

I loved how long they dragged out the punchline of "we had to get creative with Simmon's ID". It reminds of that Mitchell and Webb sketch with the Brain Surgeon, where you can see the punchline coming a mile off, which somehow makes it even funnier.

cant cook creole bream posted:I gotta say, Deke really managed to melt into the main cast quite well. Last season, he was more of a weirdo outsider, everyone treated as a liability. Now he has a bit more rapport with his teammates and can contribute stuff. He briefly hallucinates her at the end of S5 during all the Fear Dimension stuff, I think you're thinking of that. She's never "really" appeared on screen - she's dead by the future, and there's nothing to indicate Simmons is pregnant. (Although she does throw up from shock when Deke reveals the truth, which kinda comes off as a pregnancy reveal. It's never followed up though)

Also the rookie agents (Skye, Fitz, Simmons) were kind of annoying early on. Less "fresh and untested" and more "childish and immature". They got better though. And then they just kept on getting better.

cant cook creole bream posted:Was that the same cross which the agents used to play a fatal game of hot potato? I don't actually remember the exact circumstances, but there was a vision where the one who had it would die in a space shuttle and it kept switching hands. The exact circumstances are the best bit! Daisy gets a vision from the death-vision guy of somebody floating in space with Elena's crucifix and a SHIELD hoodie. Elena gives the cross to Mack. Mack tries to return it, Elena scolds him and makes him hold onto it. Mack leaves it in a hoodie, I think Simmons then finds it. Next episode, the team all roll out in matching SHIELD hoodies. It's like the LMD episode - they take a dumb cliche (oooh somebody's a robot!) and just loving run with it so hard it loops back around to being awesome.

Thought the resolution of the threats was a little too convoluted, they had to rattle through a load of stuff that it felt kinda rushed, but also I don't care, because its basically a victory lap at this point, let them kick rear end. I liked how they didn't focus on the separation of the team, and went more for how special reunions can be. Yeah, it can suck when your friends move away, but those moments when you get back in touch and see how their life has changed, those moments loving own. Probably the best show send-off since New Girl.
