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.
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

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.

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

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, man, I totally missed that she was on that!
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.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
And moved to Friday night.

Ugh. The combination does not bode well.

The mid-season start is so The Inhumans can air for its run. Agents was already set up to have a shorter series to run in that slot as well, see Agent Carter. I think a shorter season makes for better writing, in any case. Friday night is worrisome.

Wait, they're debuting the Inhumans series in the Friday Death Slot?
