"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I feel bad for the fangirls who were *sure* Ward could be saved.
I saw something about how "the Ward you knew and loved is gone"; my mind still boggles at that kind of thing.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Ward is like Angel: he's SO much more interesting to watch when he's evil. And oddly hotter.

I had all my kittens on Mack being gay, but he seems interested in Lady Flash. Though maybe we can still get bisexual Mack.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
At least they waited until Joey was part of the team before hinting at that. Juan Pablo Raba is a pretty good consolation prize.
Ward is much more interesting as a villain, but he's still never engaged my sympathies as a viewer. Back in season 4 of Angel when they added the "us" in promos I did a fist pump and hoped it was a permanent title change.

Ward had a look of not-quite-human and distinctly feral. And I think the actor has lost weight (which would work for the plot) - I could swear I saw ribs last night (and not on the table).

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Those were either makeup or CGI—the actual contours of his torso were not sucked in as they would be if his ribs were actually showing, and he did not have the belly of an emaciated man.

huh ... well, it worked for the character, however achieved
In other news - in re Agent Carter, there was discussion of The Purple Dress. I did some googling and there WERE two purple dresses. This was the one she was wearing in the desert; Another view. It may be a coat over a dark dress. This is the one she was wearing at the end - lighter over something white.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I dig Slingshot and hope we see her again, a lot. Nice to have another WoC, plus one who speaks mostly Spanish. And she's just fun. So she better survive her space adventure! (I was half-afraid that when she got Medusa'd she'd slam into the wall and shatter like a statue.)

I loved that opening. "Here we are in space. Oh, an advanced space ship, how do we get access to one of these? And whose ship is it? Huh, a cross, someone from earth was here, and why is it floating like that? Can't be good--oh, dear, explosions" followed by "Here's the person who owns that cross, how in the world do we get from here to there?"
I am just all over the story construction this season. They're packing so much into it. And I am just thrilled as fuck that Gemma overturns all the TV drama tropes of Not Talking About It to go to Fitz and say what she wants and ask if he wants it too.

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.
I don't think the space adventure goes well for Yo-Yo. The first thing we saw floating inside the spaceship (before the cross) were big red globs that were likely blood.
ETA: I've been skeptical about the Fitz/Simmons ship, but they've been so damn awesome and mature about it that I want to pull for them on that basis alone.
