After seeing multiple people talking about how mean and troublesome dalmatians are, I have to say, as someone who grew up with a dalmatian as the family dog and now has a dalmatian/dachshund mix(she is actually in my profile pic), I just have to say that they are not that bad. While they can be high energy, and deafness(which can make a dog fearful and on edge and cause violent reactions) has a high prevalence in the breed, with good training and exercise they can be great family pets. Just saying... :) That said, apart from the Emma ending (only in this show would someone killing someone holding their kid at gunpoint, by a cliff no less, be a sign of going dark), I liked this episode. I thought the Cruella back-story was intriguing and the reveal she was the killer was awesome. I actually liked her and the author together. Sad she's gone, but hopefully she will be back in flashbacks.... Also; loved Regina and Hook trying to talk to Emma about her parents. I could actually agree with what all three were saying. Loved Emma's snark about Regina's vendetta against a 10 year old's mistake.

Possible Age of Ultron end credits scene leaked. Even though it has been reported there won't be one, the article actually includes video of what is reported to be at the end of the credits. http://www.technobuffalo.com/2015/04/20/avengers-age-of-ultron-may-have-an-amazing-post-credits-scene/ If true, it is awesome!

That is a good point. I had forgotten how long it took for just that area to be rebuilt. Funny you mention the WTC attack, because I kinda see the end battle of Avengers as a kind of 9/11 for the MCU.

As someone who does not know anything about the character, I thought this was a great introduction to Daredevil. I was able to understand who this guy is and what kind of world he exists in. I liked that they tied into the Avengers and how "the incident" has impacted NYC nearly 3 years out. It kinda shows what happens after the credits roll on the big superhero blockbuster. Life won't just go back to normal. Stuff needs to be rebuilt and people are going to take advantage of that opportunity. I liked the villian talking about how when superheros and their like show up, they make money. While it is kind of questionable that such a big, important city like NYC would still be heavily rebuilding (wouldn't it have gone faster, gotten a lot of assistance and be made more of a priority to get the city back to normal?) three years out, it would have seemed weird to hear nothing about it and it fits people would still be talking about it. ETA; Love the opening credits. Fits perfectly with the mood of the show.

Apparently there will not be any post-credits scene in Ultron... http://www.ew.com/article/2015/04/07/avengers-age-ultron-wont-have-post-credit-scene-joss-whedon-says

All I could keep thinking was "why is nobody questioning why someone so hesitant and fearful of reprisal would go public within such a short time?" All they are hearing is that "she doesn't want to come forward" and then she pops up at a campus rally? I wish that idiot professor and (to a lesser extent as she seemed goaded into it by the professor)Heather would have faced some legal reprisal and had been made examples of. I know it is a TV show, but they basically ruined those guys reputations to make a point. Stuff like that just puts undue doubt on actual victims and makes it harder to bring real rapists to justice.

Actually, didn't she graduate from middle school at the end of the second season? This means she would be a senior. I thought this episode was going to be very gimmicky, but ended up enjoying it. It still kind of screamed "Emmy bait" to me though... Actually, wasn't the Vegas episode they won the Emmy for last year released about the same time in the season?

She tripped and hit her head. Overall a good episode. I liked the theme that everyone has skeletons in their past. Also; I thought Jim was not getting help from Oswald anymore! What gives? Loeb's daughter was creepy. I am not that versed much in the Batman comics, is she a villain of some sort?

Overall, good episode. Should be great to watch Rumple and the Queens of Darkness interact with each other. Loved Rumple and his expressions at the drive-thru. It was about halfway in when I realized Charming had yet to make an appearance or get a mention. Am I the only person who who wondered why no one at all noticed that HUGE demon flying off into the sky when the fairies were released. They were still right there!

I figured I would start this thread for discussion of callbacks or foreshadowing found while watching the show. I have been catching up on missed episodes via Netflix and found something interesting in an episode from season 2. In the episode "The Set-Up" Ann sets Leslie up on a date with an obnoxious MRI tech. He ends up taking her to a hospital to give her an MRI after she mentions she never has gotten one. He is commenting on her MRI, and says that she has a good-sized uterus and could have triplets.

I enjoyed this episode. Good to see the Howling Commandos again. Liked seeing Peggy in a group where she is more respected then she normally is. Interesting to see the background of the Black Widow. Wish we had more Peggy and Jarvis. Also hope Sousa doesn't turn on her... Something stupid was bugging me in Dottie's training flashback. It says 1937. Being a bit of a Disney nerd, that seemed too early for them to have Snow White on a film reel. I googled it, and sure enough, the film had it's premiere on December 21st. 1937. Since they do not look dressed for winter, this means they are watching the film before it is even released... I know it isn't important, just a nitpick as the MCU is usually better at continuity. Also; between this and the Age of Ultron trailer, they are getting a lot of use from their partnership with Disney...

In the first episode, during Skye's opening monologue about SHIELD being out of the shadows and people knowing there are heroes and monsters after the events of The Avengers(which is wrong now that I think about it, as the first Iron Man ended with Tony "outing himself" as IM), they show a shot of the Hulk and a quick, long-distance, CGI shot of someone(IM or Thor) flying. Not much but something... I totally agree with the similarities to Tony at the committee in IM2. Hilarious, and Cooper does a good job of making me go, "Yep... That is definitely Tony Stark's dad." I really enjoyed it. I loved the suspense and period piece aspects the most. Loved all the actors. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out. And add me to those saying Agents of Shield is much better this year. CA2 was the best thing to happen to that show... Turned it into appointment TV for me.

In the show, the first act breaks right at the end of the song "ever after." In fact, I volunteer as an usher at a theater and we did Into the Woods. I remember hearing some people walked out at intermission thinking the show was over. Guess they didn't read the playbill or missed other people staying?

Yeah, the one-shot "All Hail the King." Think it was on the Thor 2 Blu-ray and digital extras.

They were originally going to have Ursula and Triton be siblings, so maybe they are going back to them being related? This show is not exactly known for sticking to the original, or even Disney, mythologies of stories and characters they portray. however...

An article from Aubrey Anderson-Emmons' (Lily) mom. https://www.yahoo.com/parenting/aspiring-actress-mom-admits-daughters-modern-104689841722.html

It is interesting people are mentioning Claire and the drinking thing. I find it annoying to. Speaking as someone who has seen family members with drinking issues, alcoholism is not funny. When did Claire seeming to drink a lot start? I have only started noticing it this season, with the crummy hotel episode.

Ha!

I had forgotten that! At least Phoebe STARTED to get a tattoo (the dot) before chickening out.

Ha! Loved him realizing how they sounded and trying to correct it... Phil definitely is impulsive and doesn't think things through, huh?

Interesting. It was preempted here in Phoenix for a football game, but shown on another local station which I guess is a CBS sister station or affiliate.

Right? I was driving family cars until I was 24, and even then it was used and the only help my parents gave was money towards a down payment and cosigning the loan. Funny episode overall. I like Lily better when she is actually talking like a normal 7 year old, like in this episode, and not a snarky, catty diva. Thought the bar and tattoo plots were good even though I thought it was kinda bad of Gloria to encourage the tattoo thing when I am assuming she knew Claire wasn't crazy about it and it was HORRIBLE of Haley to back out after convincing Claire to get a tattoo. That is permanent, painful and something Claire did ONLY because Haley was going to get one as well. Loved Jay and Phil at the dealership and the reveal that Jay paid so much more then Phil was going to.

So we are supposed to a cop with no connection to either Dandy or Regina will be offered a million dollars and be like "screw it, I'm in?" and shoot Regina with NO second thoughts? Right... As much as I hate GS's acting and am glad she (hopefully) won't be around anymore this season, It bothered me how unrealistic that scene was. As others have pointed out he had no assurance Dandy would pay the money or even that Dandy wouldn't just kill him. It would be more realistic if they just had the cop not believe Regina, dismissing the word of the black women against the white man, and leave. That would have at least been true to the 1950's setting. I actually thought that is what was going to happen at the beginning of the scene, as it seemed the cop was kind of dismissive of what she was saying about Dandy and seemed to not believe her until he made that digging a hole comment. That was my main takeaway from the episode. Also; Glad we saw Ethel in ghost form! Would be sad if last week was the last we saw of her. And I am the only one who thought Dandy seemed actually normal and charming when he was at the door of the party? It was like a totally different guy.

Thinking about the big reveal of Arendelle being frozen for 30 years, I had an Epiphany... It makes NO SENSE! Wasn't the first curse happening 30 years ago? Even if it happened 31 years ago, that doesn't work out. We see Charming still at home as a farmer when he meets Anna. You still need a couple of years at least for him to become Prince James, meet Snow and fall in love, have them defeat Regina, marry Snow and for Snow to become pregnant and have a full pregnancy. Major plot-hole!

Anyone else feel that it was in bad taste for Franco and Rogan to make fun of the Sony hack? I mean, Sony employees were sent emails in which their families where threatened because of their movie. While they had nothing to do with the hacks, it still seems insensitive for them to joke about it.
