Toob Thoughts

I will admit it: "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is improving. At least the latest episode, "Seeds", was a vast improvement over the previous offerings. Set in one of the S.H.I.E.L.D. academies, it had mad science, a nefarious and shadowy villain, and the birth of a probable super-villain. It also started to do something interesting with the lackluster character of "Skye".

If the writers can keep the rest of the season at this level or (preferably) better, then there's hope for this show.




"Person of Interest" keeps going at its usual level of excellence. This time they went back to the basics and kept the POI crew on Reese and Finch with a little bit of Shaw. With the latest person of interest on an airplane, the story was both familiar and well-executed. It's refreshing to see Reese back to being an unstoppable badass as well as getting a little bit of primary focus.




I recorded the second episode of "Intelligence" but haven't had the time (or the heart) to watch it yet. I need to get around to seeing the recording of S03E03 of "Sherlock" at some point. Why does real life insist on interfering with my entertainment time? Why????
