Shorter seasons make for tighter story telling
I'd be very happy if all shows were no more than 12 episodes a season.
Having a short season helped Black Lightning a LOT.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Deadpool: Yes! They made a "guy who can't draw feet" joke!

All is well that ends in pizza.
AoS:
So they are going to try and find Frozen!Fitz?
Won't he be surprised to see a ring on Simmon's finger...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I've been trying to wrap my head around cryo-Fitz still being out there somewhere. I've almost managed.
I suspect he'll be surprised by a number of things.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'll watch the last half-season of AoS because I've stuck it out this long and why not, but the fakeout retirement party/funeral scene pissed me off no end. The amount of verbal gymnastics it took to make sure none of the characters said anything about who they were mourning/celebrating until the very end of the scene, is bullshit. That is not a good reveal show, that is pointless manipulation.
I hope they will spend at least some of next season addressing the fact that Fitz DID ACTUALLY DIE, and maybe Simmons should be allowed to feel something about that other than inconvenience at all the stuff she'll have to fill him in on. (I realize that comparing this show to Farscape is not going to end well for AoS, but COME ON.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Okay, I was wrong. I saw Deadpool 2 last night and I'm still laughing. It was ridiculous and perfectly Deadpool. It's even gorier than the first one, but they introduced a cool character and I kinda want to be her. Also there are two end credits scenes... or maybe three, I can't recall, but at least two. Stay to the very end just for the very last song.
DON'T LOOK AT THE WHITEFONT YOU SELF-SPOILING FOOLE According to the lazy-ass writers, DP's time travel really did undo it all. Which is just lazy writing. Or did it? We'll have to wait and see! Which is also just lazy writing. ISTG fucking Deadpool

Agreed.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I don't understand why Cryo-Fitz would be out there somewhere. Can someone explain the timey-wimey?

brillig
Fitz was left behind when the rest of the team was sent to the future. After several adventures, Fitz found a way to do time travel the long way, got himself frozen and tucked away until it was time to meet up with the others in the future.

Yes, I know what happened in that timeline, but didn't the timeline change?
Oh... wait... I think I get it. He *already* cryo-ed himself. The Fitz that died is post-cryo-and-woken-up. I totally missed that.
