I don't want to say anything prematurely because good shows often have a way of messing up the finales but if the next two episodes are anything like what we have seen in the last few weeks then this storyline could be Marvels most amazing production to date. It was a bit of a bummer that Brett Dalton had no role in this episode (especially to those people who wanted him to return through project looking glass) but the way they have set up the Finale is just brilliant. I still hope the writers bring a character or two back from the framework. It would be interesting to see what now becomes of radcliffe in the framework considering he is aware that Fitz has built the machine and I can only imagine what AIDA has planned next for Fitz. All I can say with certainty is this: After THIS Episode alone if Marvels does not extend this show for Season 5 it would be nothing short of cruel.

It looks like this story arc has concluded with Agent Coulson and the other characters finally getting back to the real world. But wait! We still have more episodes before this season is done. Anyway, I admit that the first half of this episode isn't "that" good, but the second half definitely makes up for it. I just love the idea of all the characters in an imaginary world and having them figuring out which of the other characters are real or not. We finally get to see them go back and we make another great advancement as Aida finally gets a human body. She ends up teleporting away with Fitz or something.

It's also interesting to see the other characters actually allow Mac to stay in the world with his deceased daughter in the real world, Hope. Okay, I doubt that's going to last, but it's a still an original and innovative idea. The way every single character has gone through so much development in these episodes is so impressive. Everyone contributes to the story so wonderfully. The scenes are so wonderfully set up with how dramatic everything is. I'm glad to see how this continues. ****

I was a big fan, but this episode killed my enthusiasm. They find the freaking portal and they have 10 long conversations before jumping through. And Daisy leaves Mack in the unreal world, when she could easily have used her powers to knock him out and drag him through to the real world. Annoyingly stupid.

This whole plot was hard to swallow. It started with some promises, but soon it became clear that it wouldn't deliver.

I'm giving 2 (instead of 1 star) for the good acting. Shame that the plot wasted everything with its annoyance: poor and non-sense dialogues, disconnection from the time in the real world and their lives (even considering a VR), lack of action, undervaluation of some characters (it becomes obvious that the supporting actors are irrelevant, disposable and creates an abyss between them and the main core cast).

But, the worst part of everything is Aida. I was hoping for an Ex-Machina kind of character and instead I got a boring secretary, frustrated with her code and seeking loving and forgiveness for being a bad bot, instead of taking advantage of the Darkhold. She blames Radcliffe for all her damaging actions and run away from her responsibilities. She found a way to go around his code to do damage and kill, but couldn't do the same to do good? I don't buy this half-baked plot. It was a forced path down the hill and an even worse attempt of redemption. In the end of this episode, I was rolling my eyes impatient, praying for its end and wishing the russian would kill her in that corridor and let her to drown forgotten how it should be.
