Just so, so happy I saw AoS last week, then CA2 Friday, and then last night's episode. That was the perfect sequencing of events. The show has gotten much better over the course of this season. The kinda threw a wrench into things last night though, not sure where they will go from here. (Start working on that GotG tie-in!)

Yeah, he was always one of my favoites growing up. Hard to recognize him in photos without that trademark facepaint.

It's gotten so good, last night was the best episode yet IMO. The synergy of tying this in with all the CA2 stuff was brilliant. That is exactly what this show should be, an extension of the films, filling in the gaps in between, etc.

I'm kinda bummed after all the twists last night though, my 2 favorite characters are now bad guys.  :(

I thought it was very enjoyable, plenty of action and lots of good SHIELD scoop. Some of the finer details in the plot seemed a little confusing, but that would probably clear up with subsequent viewings.

What was the signifigance of the cute girl next door that never really developed into anything? Is she a relevant character from the comics? Or some superhero-in-waiting?

Other thing I kept wondering was, with all this major SHIELD stuff going down, shouldn't Hawkeye have made an appearance at some point? Or at least been mentioned in passing? He seems like more of a company guy than Thor, Hulk, or Iron Man.

Very curious to see how they address this on the show. They pretty much wrecked the Triskellion...and what about that squirrely dude in the glasses? He has been a recurring guest on the show a few times. I guess he is Hydra, but not the Clairvoyant? But the woman who I guess IS the Clairvoyant, is she Hydra too? Ugh, too confusing!

Stopped by today and although there was no new vintage out, I did see Wolverine and GI Joe figures there for the first time.

Nice...I'm headed to the late 3D show in about 30 minutes. Good to hear it does not disappoint.

Curious if there will be tie-ins with the current SHIELD series as well, or hows those timelines overlap.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series - 2014 Wave 1

Well, we'll see if my order [6" Stormtrooper] with tru.com went through...

Got the Stormtrooper in the mail today, so I should be happy about it, right?  There's black paint just between the eyes under the brim of the forehead.  *face palm*  I guess I'm not sure whether to take off the paint (not sure how to do it without ruining the figure) or look for a good one in stores.

The one I found at Target has the EXACT same defect and it drives me nuts. I haven't been able to bring myself to open it...I keep hoping I will find another one that looks sharper. Fat chance, seems like.

I don't watch the show, but I made a point to check it out last night. That was some funny ****! I was LOL'ing a few times. Very creative.

Damn, and no on thought to bring it up on TD!

They do some "inside joke" type stuff like that, putting a Boondock Saints poster up in the background for example, but I agree this is sort of different and creepy.

Very cool catch...

That kid from Attack the Block would actually be pretty dope, that movie ruled.

I agree, it will be fun to watch all those rainbow-arcing downfield touchdowns he will be catching next year from RG3. Between him, Garcon, and Jordan Reed, that is going to be one dynamic passing offense.  ;D

Dan hasn't done anything to f this team up in quite awhile. You can thank the Shamahans for the car wreck that was last season.  The team now is a lot closer to 2012 than 2013.

Termites!

Thoroughly enjoyable, maybe not the same impact as previous finales, but felt like the perfect end to this season. I think I would have enjoyed a little more build-up before the Terminus villain-swerve, after all the time they spent getting there it just seemed to go bad a little fast.

That whole scene with Rick and co versus the scruffy dudes was so powerful that the rest of the episode felt a little flat by comparison. That was just brutal...Rick tearing the guy's throat out, Daryl stomping on that dude's head, and then Rick going to work on that sick, fat would-be rapist. Loved that the camera cut away to Carl's face and you could still hear him stabbing that POS! Hell yes.

I have to agree with Rick's assessment at this point - those Termites ARE screwed. Not exactly a bunch of bad-asses to begin with, Rick and crew strolling right through their "back door", being stupid enough to take the watch off Glenn, etc. Lots of creepy stuff going on there though...the room full of candles and the names on the floor, the cage of defleshed bones, etc. Eesh.

Nice that they worked in some extra scenes with Hersel and co...that was a nice parallel I thought.

Andrew Lincoln was great on TD...still freaks me out to hear that English accent.

Super psyched for next season, we're moving into uncharted territory now...

Little disappointing initially but need to see all angles. The ear thingies need to be angled back more it seems like. He also seems to lack that maniacal sort of grin with the slanty eyes and gaping jaws.

Way too early for N---- and the Hilltop crew. They only just got out from the shadow of the Governor this season, it's too soon to introduce another singular uber villain from the same vein. I'm sure they'll get there eventually but they have a lot of ground to cover, both literally and figuratively, first.

Not sure what would push Rick to the breaking point tonight as teased...somehow I still feel worried for Judith. Happy reunion turned tragic?

Other Toy Lines / Re: Pacific Rim Toys

Weird stuff going on with this line at TRU's website...first they jacked up the price on all of them by about $3 each and then they took Cherno And Trespasser off completely. I'm sure they will re-appear at some point but I'm glad I got mine when I did, looking more and more doubtful these will show up in-store.
