  1. I'm pretty sure Mixon had a baby in March, so either this was filmed much earlier in the season or they literally just shot it. The jacket story could have cringeworthy, but I like that Bader just went for it. ETA: per Mixon's twitter, they filmed this ep in Dec when she was five months pregnant, and she still has 2.5 weeks to go.
  2. For me, it's not about a character getting a "happy" ending; it's about a character getting an ending with at least some degree of finality and closure. I think Ward finally got that via Framework!Ward two episodes ago. But Tripp and Mack's stories still feel so unfinished.
  3. I thought they filmed inside an actual former/now closed big box store. If it was just sets on the Universal lot, I wonder why they tore it down after the season.
  4. I'm looking forward to everything they set-up for season three, especially Sandra vs. Carol! There was an episode earlier this season where Dina and Mateo were showing off pictures of a remodeld store. I really liked the way Amy looked at Jonah as he walked away towards Mateo & Marcus.
  5. ABC also wanted Atwell in a female-led procedural, which they thought would be a winning ticket. Obviously that was a huge failure.
  6. Jed & Mo are on record that AoS ends the season with several cliffhangers.
  7. Everytime I think this arc is going to zig, it doesnt zag but does something else I never anticipated. I was convinced that either Fitzler would replace Fitz, or it'd be a Jekyll & Hyde scenario. I never imagined that all of them would retain their framework memories/experiences/lives and as Mo and Jed said essentially have "two lifetimes". I really hope the denouement of this arc is Mack showing up with his shotgun!axe and ending Aida. But who the hell knows. Whatever happens, I'm sure it'll kick-ass.
  8. For the seventh episode in a row, AoS retained 100% of its total viewer and all demo numbers from start to finish. It's uncanny for any show to that, except for rare marvel's like This Is Us that grow during the hour, and it's astonishing for any 10pm show to do so.
  9. Make of this what you will, but allegedly like Castle last season, both Once and Quantico were asked to produce alternate endings, whereas Shield and Designated were not and producers of those shows are on record that they end on multiple cliffhangers.
  10. Wow. That's all I got. I already thought FitzSimmons was done, but after tonight there is no writer on earth that could write them as a legitimate couple.
  11. The potential writers strike has been averted.
  12. When the fuck did The Assy One aka Rump put his child, or ANYONE ELSE, first?!? And Aeriel and Jasmine did the magic carpet ride, not Jaladdin.
  13. That link takes me to a page to log-into / sign-up-for Tumblr. But yeah Jessy Schram as Cinderella, the Tremaine actress as Tremaine, Karen David, Oded Fehr (note: NOT their characters, which is on the writers not them), Joanna Garcia as Ariel, and Zelena mowing down Black have been the only good parts of this season for me.
  14. Does anyone have a gif of Zelena mowing down Black? That was the single best moment in six seasons of the show, and frankly one of the best things I've seen on tv in general in some time.
  15. There are ao many guests that should be there supporting Emma and Hook that won't be, and no offense to those actors but theyre not exactly big names that would be cost prohibitive. Ernie Hudson may have been prohibited because he's on contract with FOX's APB, and it's possible some of them were busy with pilots or other projects. What they could have done, at the be ve tumblr least, is do what other shows have done in similar situations and show the character from the back talking to Hook, whoever with it being 'this is Ariel, but Joanna is unavailable so we can't show the face'. The point is, those people should be there.
  16. Zelena mowing down Black was hysterical. I may or may not have re-wound and watch it 12 times. And I'm still chuckling about it. Black's backstory, and all the retcons, didnt make a lick of sense.
  17. The family on NBC's The Carmichael Show is relatively middle class. I believe it's coming back for a third season this summer.
  18. If the show really wanted to be bold, it'd have Fitzler take over Fitz's body permanantly with the man who existed before literally erased. It'd be akin to Illyria taking over Fred's body on Angel, but with a bigger emotional punch since Fitzler is also Fitz but not really.
  19. I would have loved this episodes if Dre hadnt been in them. His behavior towards Junior AND Bow is atrocious and deeply unfunny. That said, the presence of Anna Deveare Smith as D'Alicia made me like Johan! I would gladly watch a spinoff with Anna, Beau, Rashida, the dude playing Johan, and Maya as the Rudolph as the other/third sister.
  20. Hollywood frequently engages in, ahem, creative accounting. And I think your focusing way too much on the live + same day U.S. ratings. For example, the reason The Big Bang Theory is a huge success isn't because it's been the # 1 comedy with huge first and repeat numbers on CBS. It's a huge success because it has made its production studio and distributors a shit ton of money in syndication, off-network, and international sales. AoS landed these deals after only three seasons/66 episodes. Hell, Quantico is still in consideration for renewal despite its awful ratings on ABC solely because its making bags of money in international sales for ABC Studios.
  21. While they needed something with more depth than 'im prettier than her', it didnt matter whether the Daniel reveal had been episode 2 or 22 as its completely fucking ridiculous that Gina blamed Snow in the firat place for what CORA did. Snow was a child who was manipulated by Cora. Also, Cora actually killed him. Gina blamed the wrong person.
  22. As I've posted before, this show desperatly wants to be the next ER but totally fails at both the single episode procedural aspect and the episode-to-episode character building aspect. The Robin is crazy story, Noah in general, and Nat/Halstead just arent working, yet those are the horses its riding for the finale and into next season.
  23. I really liked Myrtle thinking Bo was a butch lesbian, Garrett doing announcements, and Sandra finding some bit of happiness. But I hated Jeff's ranting at Mateo (and I hate Mateo, sheesh), Dina making every little thing all about her particularly the photoshoot, and Adam/Amy/Jonah/gf being beyond awkward as fuck. I'm glad they advanced that story, and some degree of awkwardness was necessary, but that was way over the top to the point of being extremely uncomfortable to watch. I think the problem with this episode and with the show at times is the writers AND actors dial things up to eleventy when a four would suffice.
  24. I wouldnt be surprised if they did use a minor character like that as IIRC, Mephisto, Dormammu, the N'Gari, and the other more well-known demonic characters were all on that list of characters that were included in the Spiderman, FF, and X packages that Sony and Fox bought years ago.
  25. Though it's never been confirmed, it's been widely rumoured that production costs for five seasons of the show was included in the budget for the first Avengers movie. Also, the international and off-network sales and ratings have been strong. Heck, compare it to its timeslot competitor Chicago Fire, which happens to be the #1 show at 10pm on television. Despite largely being a procedural from Dick Wolf and having many more episodes than Shield produced, it still hasnt been sold off-network or into ayndication and has yet to even an a single international deal. Also, Shield continues to put, relatively, amazing men 18-34 numbers. At least a year ago it was #2 in all of tv non-sports behind only Walking Dead in that demo.
