I do interviews and write articles for the site in addition to reviewing a number of shows, including Supernatural, Arrow, Agents of Shield, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Forever, Defiance, Bitten, Glee, and a few others! Highlights of this past year include covering San Diego Comic Con as press and a set visit to Bitten. When I'm not writing about television shows, I'm often writing about entertainment and media law in my capacity as a legal scholar. I also work in theatre when the opportunity arises.

Entire episode. :)
ReplyDeleteit's a cliche, but agreed that the entire ep was too great to single out any one moment, way too many to choose from
ReplyDeleteThe entire episode as my favorite
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! How to pick? What a great episode!
ReplyDeleteIt was one of the show's strongest episodes, and probably one of the best episodes of television for this year. Setting the bar high with tonight (factoring in Agent Carter!).
ReplyDeleteSome of the Root-Shaw bits were heavy-handed, but highly appreciated. Especially necessary if Shaw does indeed die (and frankly, I can't imagine she won't. Shame).
Terrific episode. 8/10
I might be biased but I thought me getting a little kissy kissy was the best part by far!!
ReplyDeleteThat scene where it started, to that scene where it ended
ReplyDeleteMy vote for Other was Shaw's surprise arrival and the jump in the 'probability of success' stats.
ReplyDeletePicked Shaw/Root, but really the option should be "all of the whole damn amazing spectacular mind blowing mind numbing savagely incredible hour". PSA: If you are not watching this show, for whatever reason, please consult a medical professional. You may have a mental illness.
ReplyDelete(Not in any way making light of mental illness)
I don't think I've ever ticked so many boxes lol
ReplyDeletesimplifying the situation was something I've never seen before :D
ReplyDeleteIn my head, the Shaw saves the team was the whole thing from her arrival to the end - but I think that's technically cheating!
ReplyDeleteFunny, I also checked alla nd then went backwards to uncheck a few. Overall fantastic return in 2015.
ReplyDeleteThe simplified simulation scene was one of the best and most clever scenes I've seen on TV.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing episode! *_* I loved the flashbacks so much.
ReplyDeletethe entirety of it. the machine played simulations but it took into account the 'players' personalities, speech patterns etc into the senario (i mean, wow, it knew/predicted that 'admin' would notice the original Dega and stop to admire and then would get upset when it was shot!) which is more impressive than i can express; the machine knows them! it knows them as different people, not just assets it moves around like toy soldiers! and it has a sense of humour or a sense of ...petulance?..well...something, i mean in it's senarios the leader of the oposition told Martine to 'have fun' with her job of killing the machine's assets and that little detail was enough to show that the machine doesn't like them. It doesn't simply see them as the oposition but it doesn't like them; it sees them as the proverbial black hats.
ReplyDeletesituation, lol, simulation... My hands must have been still shaking after the episode ;p
