This was a lot better than the opener; there were some good bits of dialogue that helped. But the plot...a little too similar to 'The Framework' arc on Agents of SHIELD which aired just last season (they did it better).

I disliked this SHIELD in Space storyline when it started, but I'm hooked.

I've been a fan of this show since season 1, but this year just seems off. Sometimes a series will do a 'bottle' show to keep down costs: film everything on a sound stage, no locations, lots of talking. I get the feeling SHIELD is going them one better by doing a bottle arc, and I can't wait for it to end. This last episode was so much talk and so little plot advancement, until the last five seconds. It's so dark at times it's hard to tell what's going on. I'll suffer through the rest of it but they better get off this rock soon. This is not the SHIELD I was hoping for.

I almost quit after the first 4 eps but 5 it started to click and held me to the end. Sex and violence a bit much, and it didn’t need to be 13 episodes, but I’m in for season 2 which has been announced.

Agree with the above. It was better than I expected. JAG did some really memorable Christmas episodes and this wasn't quite up to that level, but it was pretty darn good.

I almost didn't watch because I wasn't in the mood for an hour of angsty angst about the sisters' lost loves. But the flashback won me over, especially with the Noel Neill mention (and despite the reference to the mess that was Smallville).

This was a good wrap-up for a so-so season. Things took a bit too long to get started, the gang were split apart and off doing different things too much, El was separated for too long and in clumsy, cliched ways (like the stereotypical misunderstood non-romantic encounter), and don't get me started on that episode from some other show that popped up right in the middle of a cliffhanger. Still, I'm a sucker for the Hardy Boys/Goonies teen adventure genre, newcomers Max and Bob were good, and when the show clicked it was first-rate. One more gripe: does every show have to include a presage-of-doom tag ending? Can't people be happy for a few months until the evil returns, as it inevitably will? But if you must leave on a note of impending evil, make it a little more gripping than the one they came up with. Overall: a solid B.

The low point of the series. This ep felt like it was part of another show altogether. In fact it reminded me of a 'nested pilot' for a proposed spin-off producers occasionally inflict on a series. A spin-off I would never watch based on this.

This was almost like a comedy episode: a Blacklist version of Midnight Run. Odd.

Amen to the complaints about intrusive funky music and fight scenes so dark and so choppily edited that I just gave up trying to figure out who was pounding on who. Whom. Series started slow, peaked half way thru, then slipped back to something above mediocrity but not outstanding. Agents of Shield's most recent season was more compelling overall.

What's more, when he hit that sour note and mentioned it was a d-sharp, it actually WAS a d-sharp. That usually doesn't happen in movies/tv.

Series started out slow but it gelled in E3 and hit its stride with 4. Jessica has the best wisecracks; I don't think I could have taken the somber tone of E1 for the entire run. I dissent from those who like the funky music every time Luke Cage is on screen. It's too different from the rest of the scoring, and way too stereotypical--it would be like having him eat fried chicken at every meal.

This was pretty good except for Jane not wanting to kill Roman.. She couldn't just shoot him in the leg? She didn't have to take a kill shot.

dwmarch - That must be it. I watch The Blacklist too so I'm sure I saw that. Both shows on the same network using the same plot idea within months of each other. As some wag once said, 'Imitation is the sincerest form of television.'

Maybe it's a case of video deja vu but this whole plot idea with a bunch of hackers assembled at a secret location to compete with the winner getting something seems awfully familiar. I'd swear some other show used this set-up not that long ago but my memory is vague enough I can't recall which one.

I was fooled by that pointless close-up of the Ford remote start app. I figured there was a reason for that, like maybe a bomb in the car or something. No, it was just cheesy product placement.

This was like It's a Wonderful Life except minus the happy ending; enough already. But I'm stuck on figuring out why everyone in the future was surprised to see Barry 2017 show up. They were there when he took that trip back in 2017. Did they all forget it happened? Or is this some other convenient time travel wrinkle that has to be hand waved away?

Radcliff's home in the framework sure looked quite a bit like Mr Roark's house on Fantasy Island. For me this season of SHIELD has been better than any of the Netflix shows. But Agent Carter is still #1 in my book.

The scheming Meachum brother reminded of a lot of someone and then it came to me, he sounds and talks almost exactly like Agent Aubrey from Bones. They even look a bit similar.

They showed a dossier on a guy named Leonid Something While talking about him as Victor Something. Isnt Lizzie starting to wonder where her hubby is by now?

That was the Adagio from Bach's Keyboard (because it can be played on piano or harpsichord) Concerto in d minor. Bach wrote so much numbers are assigned to his works so people don't confuse them. This one is BWV 974. I found this episode more gripping than any since the premiere.

I'd swear the house where the wrong doer was arrested at the end of the show was used in an earlier season as one of Hetty's hideaways. Maybe she rents it out.

Joe puts a gun to his head, three speedsters are standing in front of him, and nobody grabs the gun? They wait for him to pull the trigger? I didn't get that.

I hope this arc is finally over; if we get even occasional appearances from the Admiral that will have made the endurance worthwhile. I doubt any other character from JAG is likely to appear on any NCIS show so AJ (the J is for Jethro, as in Leroy Jethro Gibbs) is most welcome. How a retired Navy admiral can go on the NCIS payroll with the snap of Hetty's fingers is beyond me, but I'll hand wave whatever hand-wave they come up with.

This revamped version of the show isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I still have little use for their businessman villain. Besides, every time he's on screen I think of Prof Irwin Corey.
