Really good episode. Too bad they can't all be like this.

Am I the only one that LIKES Walker? He's scum, sure ... but I just dig him. And now he's all hopped up on screamers! Battle Star is a letdown. Dude is worthless.

Two episode left. Predictions: The PB will be revealed at the very end to set up a movie, Flag crew will get dealt except for the ginger who will escape, Walker will lose the shield, Sam will take the shield, Bucky will go back to his list, and Zemo will be sitting pretty on a yacht somewhere.

I'll say this, Anthony Mackie has been great this series.  Just wonderful as Sam trying to figure out that HE is the Captain America everyone needs.

As for Walker, I saw an article about how he's not just trying to navigate Wyatt's way out of the shadows of greatness, but his own since his parents are Hollywood Royalty (Kurt Russle and Goldie Hawn).  I never thought about that 😃

I just hate that Sam and Bucky had to fight the Wakandians.  It seemed really out of character for them to jump in against them.  I'd rather they have joined Zemo on the exit from the room.

I feel Carter is the Power Broker. Seems like the kind of swerve that many won't see coming but will make a whole lot of sense. There's something more there. I'm really digging this series.

I’ll try to not throw my shoulder out patting myself on the back

I really liked the final episode.  Sure, it's going to be quite polarizing, but Sam said what needed to be said.  Was it pandering?  Absolutely!  But it was necessary in the world we live in.  The truth of the matter is that his point about the hate was 100% true and accurate.  It's a point that needs to be made, that needs to be heard.

Of course, the culture warriors will rack this up to "ruining" their super heroes with politics or over stepping.  I guess that's more of a discussion for the TB.

This does set up a cool dynamic for Captain America 4 with Sam as the cap.  I love that he took the title instead of waiting for someone else to give it to him.  

Functionally, the episode was a poo show of random stuff that was pulled together by Anthony Mack in the last 15 minutes.  Poor direction.  Lots of missed opportunities in the script.

But for me, Sam in the suit did it for me.  I can forgive a lot of garbage if I like certain parts enough.  That's kind of been the way the show has run.  Some of the low points drove me nuts, but the highs were great for me.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
