Marvel's The Avengers - Loved it, and glad it didn't take itself too seriously. The action was awesome, could've used more character bits. ScarJo's Widow went above and beyond, but I wanted Hawkeye to have more moments. I actually loved Ruffalo's Banner, and he played him differently than Norton, but still enjoyable. I figured the tag, despite being at the end, happened before Thor and Loki went off. Maybe SHIELD detained Loki for a while to study him while Thor joined the others for shawarma. I miss Coulson already (I guess now we know why he has time to do Ultimate Spider-Man), shame he had to take an apple for the team.

Young Justice: Invasion "Earthlings" - Jury is still out about flashforward, but I am wondering about M'Gann and what she could've done to freak out Superboy.

Green Lantern: The Animated Series "Regime Change" - I did love the episode, Ganthet made it and I forgot Ian Abercrombie had died. But I do agree this is more set-up and expanding on the backstory, such as the Manhunters.

Animal Man #4 - Darkseid cracked me up, best Animal Man short ever.

ThunderCats "Curse Of Ratilla" - Those rats were disgusting, but this was one of the better episodes, certainly.

Ultimate Spider-Man "Why I Hate Gym" - Taskmaster is more of a traditionally Captain America villain, but he worked well in this episode, and it was great to actually see Spidey and Tiger working together.

The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes "To Steal An Ant-Man" - I thought this was a weak episode but not because of the reasons you list. I like Hank being a non-hero, it adds diversity to the group, and I've always been a fan of Scott Lang, so it was cool to see him back, and while Luke and Danny were fun, the story was just...slow...especially the explanation of Ant-Man's powers.

Once Upon A Time "An Apple As Red As Blood" - How badass were Snow and co?! Poor Henry, here's hoping he wakes Emma up to the truth. Agreed about seeing Jefferson again.

The Simpsons "The Spy Who Learned Me" - I loved the Stradivarius character too, but I hated the ending of the episode. Buff Nelson was more frightening than he was funny.

American Dad "Ricky Spanish" - Didn't like the Bullock thing, but yeah, the Ricky Spanish stuff was funny, especially when it was some of the low key stuff.

Community "Course Listing Unavaible" - Poor, stupid Britta. Also, Chang won't completely get away with it, they're setting something up for the finale, I'm sure.

30 Rock "Queen Of Jordan 2: The Mystery Of The Phantom Pooper" - Eh, I liked this one, but I hate Jack and Avery's mom too.

The Office "Turf War" - I loved Andy being smarter than Michael Scott. Hate Robert California, but felt bad for Nellie.

Parks And Recreation "Bus Tour" - Just because Leslie committed a political faux pas doesn't mean she deserves to lose the election. She's still the most qualified candidate BY FAR!

Also...where is your Smallville review?

[mattzimmer]

The Avengers: Yay! It's officially a thing! And yeah, the tag happening after the climax but before the ending makes sense.

Young Justice: Invasion: Me too. I bet it was freaky.

The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes: I just hate Hank with a passion and the new Ant-Man isn't any better. The episode sucked.

Once Upon A Time: Yup.

The Simpsons: What did you hate about the ending?

Community: You are most definitely right.

The Office: They blew it in the season finale but I was so relieved by it I let it slide.

Parks and Recreation: Martha Coakley was FAR more quailified to be Massachusetts' Senator than Scott Brown but she was such a horrible candidate she didn't deserve to win and didn't. I honestly think Leslie's gaffe was almost as bad as anything Coakley ever did and I'm surprised the writers actually went there especially since she won in the season finale. I guess her speech in the debate made up for a lot. It WAS pretty awesome.

Smallville: Fixed.

The Simpsons: That Nelson became an even bigger bully than before and it showed him beating down a bunch of people including the principal. Even with Lisa swooning, I didn't find it funny.

Parks and Recreation: They did it so that Leslie wouldn't have a smooth campaign, and despite how qualified she is, I doubt she'll have a smooth term either.

[mattzimmer]

The Simpsons: That's weird. I didn't even notice that.

[90scartoonman]

Guess it was because it was the B-story and not the conclusion of the episode.

[mattzimmer]

I never seem to remember the B stories.
