Safe assumption lol. His corruption surprised me more than anything else in the movie. I thought Zola's return was great (not sure how people thought he was MODOK, but okay), they definitely made him and Hydra in general much scarier than they were in the first flick.

I dunno if they should bring Red Skull back, not sure he could get much deader than what happened to him in the last movie lol. Much as I love Christoph Waltz though, I'm not sure he'd be great as RS. I'm sure he could pull it off acting wise, but don't think he has the right shaped face for it. Also, for those that haven't scene it yet, we get a quick but nice close up of Scarlett Johansson's belly button (unless they used a stunt belly for whatever reason, but this was filmed well before she got pregnant, so I can't imagine why it wouldn't be her).

To keep this on topic of TV shows though, anyone else watch the season premier for Game of Thrones? Pretty solid first episode, but the scene at the end with Arya and the Hound was amazing, best part by far for me :D

After looking at a few pics of her on here, I do believe that it was Scarlett in that scene. You are definitely right about the Arya/Hound scene. That was gold!

I also really enjoyed seeing Jamie go to Brienne after having that moment Cersei, that was really cool despite how it ended.

Yes, that was a nice little treat.

I also loved the mid-credits scene. It was like a big middle finger to Fox and Whedon saying "Haha, I got them on screen before you did!"

Schattenu

@Mystery: Jaime and Brienne have developed some fantastic chemistry with each other since last season, I love it when they're on screen together. Jon Snow was awesome too, has had quite enough of this pseudo-political BS lol.

@Mike: I can say that they definitely look way better than the actors/designs in X-Men, although I'm still pretty interested in Days of Future Past. Love the guy they got to play Baron Wolfgang von Strucker, too, never seen him before but he looks the part perfectly! :D

Good lord, another crazy episode of Agents of Shield. And even with the new plot twist, I love Bill Pullman's character even more. I will be so pissed if they kill him off.

Schattenu

Tonight's Shield episode can be boiled down to something I just kept repeating in the second half of the episode (and pardon my language for a moment): Holy fucking shit.

Glad I saw Winter Soldier this weekend lol, but damn, that episode had an unbelievable amount of twists. Spoilers for those that haven't seen it or the new Captain America: I loved the ominous detail they added of replaced the Shield symbol at the end with Hydra's. Damn impressive that one movie and one episode managed to change a fairly run-of-the-mill evil organization in the first movie to the scariest antagonist in the MCU yet, beating out the more god-like villains like Loki and Malekith and Kurse and Killian.

New Agents of Shield ... just the best writing of the entire series so far. Bill Paxton and Clark Gregg are gods among mortals on that show.

Schattenu

SHIELD was fantastic, Clark Gregg was incredible in portraying Coulson's (understandable) breakdown. I loved Bill Paxton's crack at Hydra's old, over the top salute ha. Can't wait to see how things play out, bad Ward is really entertaining to watch.

POI was pretty phenomenal tonight, too. Love some of the moral dilemmas that show brings up, makes for some very interesting and intriguing storytelling.

Sodo

Agreed, Schattenu. But aaaaaaaaaaaah. I want an episode next week!

Schattenu

Yeah, the scheduling of several shows this year is driving me freaking nuts. I dunno how networks expect some shows to have consistent viewing numbers when they force us to hunt the internet for if and when episodes air.

Still, since I did hunt it down, thankfully it'll only be off next week (for whatever reason) and then it will be back for the last three episodes of the season without any more breaks. :D

Sodo

Since it's going to head into a fourth season, what do you expect/want to happen by the end of this one?

Schattenu

I'd like to see Decima and Vigilance, or at least just Decima, at least partially dealt with by the finale. They've been involved in almost every episode since Reese came back from his bout of depression, so it certainly feels like their conclusion is coming up soon. Besides, if/when they stop Samaritan, what else can Decima do? That's always been their endgame, as I understand it.

If they are taken care of in the next three episodes, that'll be pretty interesting, since they'll have put an end to two major antagonists in a single season, after taking out HR. This storyline has been really cool, and having Decima as the "evil counterpart" to the heroes has been awesome. But at the same time, I'd love to get back to New York and see some more of Elias and whatnot, or even introduce some new baddies.

Sodo

Agreed.

Do you think they will ever add in a new team member? Will Fusco find out about the Machine?

Schattenu

At this point, the show has caught me off guard so many times, I can honestly say I have no idea XD New, interesting characters are always cool, though. But I like the rather small team dynamic they have, so I hope they keep it that way.

Latest Agents of Shield. Some big reveals and some very good acting, too. Hopefully, they will spill all the beans over the next two episodes.

Schattenu

Shield is getting so damn crazy, I love it. I appreciate that Ward isn't turning into a mustache-twirling villain and that it's a little more complicated, but I sincerely hope he's not accepted back into the team in the future. Regardless of reasons, I feel he's well beyond redemption at this point.

Person of Interest was another "holy shit" episode tonight, too. Shows are all gearing up for their season finales, and everything that could hit the fan is hitting it.

Two great episodes of The Blacklist this week and last week. Two more and then we're done until Season 2. Really enjoyed this week's episode...

Can't believe Blacklist's season is almost over already, seemed to go by fast. Getting awesome though, James Spader has yet to disappoint! :D

lol@ "the show your mom likes" omg. I have mixed thoughts on this. Right now, the whole show needs a 'really evil bad guy' someone who jane can really sink his teeth into. The show is slow for me atm, I got to admit. With red john delt with, the show isn't as exciting to watch.
