And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

(I was impressed when she was just playing the LMD version and getting across "this is a robot mimicking human emotional responses rather than actually experiencing them" and then they added Agnes, Madame Hydra and Ophelia.)

She is also terrifically fun on Galavant.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

One of the other scenes that sticks with me is Jemma and Daisy realizing the other one is real during the LMD attack and the two of them just clutching each other for dear life.

Such a great scene.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Oh, man, I totally missed that she was on that!

I feel sorry for Ophelia, because she has no understanding of emotions, and she got thrown into a battlezone. She was so triumphant when she was able to rescue Mac, then Fitz told her the cornerstone of the universe, that Simmons is it for him, and he is it for her (lord, that wordless scene of her going in and sitting down and wrapping her arms around him).

Finally caught up on AoS and I concur that the actress who plays Aida is knocking it out of the park! She's fantastic. This has definitely been the most fully realized arc that the show has ever done. Although I'm pissed that all the brown people on the team are now trapped in the framework. I want them all back in the real world, Mac, Tripp, even Yo-Yo though she's sometimes annoying. Really happy that this show is coming back next season.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Yeah, while Aida/Ophelia's done some really terrible things to a lot of people, a lot of the blame falls on Radcliffe. (Though credit to him for saving Fitz in the end) As the Russian pointed out, she's basically an infant with the powers of a god; every new experience is the best/worst thing she's ever had happen to her.

Almost all of it, I'd say. It's hard for me to assign blame to Ada when she's only had free will for what, half a day?

I completely failed to identify her until I looked her up. It's a shame that she's not getting to be funny as Aida.

So yes, Radcliffe is to blame, but isn't the implication that it's the Darkhold is ultimately responsible? It "infected" Aida, or whatever, which gave it an opening to get to Radcliffe.

Though man, John Hannah is good at playing a weasel.

Radcliffe has been pretty terrible since he hooked up with Hive, though. The Darkhold just allowed him to be terrible on a grander scale.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

It looks like AoS won't be returning until midseason next year after tonight's season finale.
