Amph Agents of SHIELD Discussion Thread (and Slingshot)

I have a feeling of excitement and confusion now. Wow.


Sent from my communicator via the all powerful Internet.

 

Calling it right now:

1- Agent Hand is actually in league with Redford's Alexander Pierce from Winter Soldier
2- May was actually in contact with Fury, and it's going to become very useful as they deal with the repercussions of WS.

Lauré

 

Yeah that's what I'm guessing. If May was with Redford she wouldn't have gone after Fitz with a nite-nite gun.

 

I think May is reporting to Hill. Maria knew who Phil wanted on the team and cleared everyone. I could easily see her being the one to force May onto the team before Coulson ever showed up to convince her. Whether or not Fury knows remains to be seen.

Quest: If Hand really did that third possibility, why kill everyone but Coulson? What makes Fitz, Skye, May AND Ward so suspicious but not Coulson? Hand's always been closer to villain side even in the comics. Granted she's more pragmatic, but if she thinks Pierce's way is the right way, it's easy to see her following him and being willing to kill Coulson's renegade team. It's not the first time she's tried to kill them either.

Regardless, can't wait for the movie. Nice choice to have the episode end with Fury.

 

I totally called the reveal about Victoria Hand about halfway through the episode; my only other guess for the Clairvoyant's identity was John Garrett. When the last scene finally happened, I jumped right into "told you so!" mode. That character's been a real witch since her introduction.

 

This show is leaps and bounds above what it was at the start of the season.

 

Promo for next week:

 

It is possible that Garrett could be the Clarirvoyant, or at least working for him. Especially when he wasn't able to remember the details of that mission with Coulson from before his death.

 

I would love for Bill Paxton to become a regular on the show so I hope he doesn't wind up evil and/or dead anytime soon.

 

I'm just now watching the episode and the scene near the beginning with Chloe and Paxton was well done. Which brings me to a question, out of cuiosity. Who is the best actor on the show?

 

Ok so, the best thing they could do is make Ward a secret inside SHIELD villain.

 

Didn't Trip mention his family was rich and had a history in SHIELD? Maybe he's going to become the MCU Baron Zemo.

 

I really dug how on Agents of Shield this week Agent Sitwell literally got pulled from the episode after 10 min to go show up in "Captain America: The Winter Solider". It's like getting called up from the minors mid-game!

 

He isn't. As noted, the Clairvoyant is using their psychological profiles against them. In this case, that Ward can be protective and has a temper, which is why he pulled the trigger. Dude has the hots for Skye.

 

What was the credit sequence with Fury? The 'version' that I was watching did not include that scene.

 

No, my version cut after we saw Hand was behind the plane's course change.

Having gone and seen Winter Soldier last night before I watched this episode of S.H.I.E.L.D. I haven't missed anything.

 

Honestly, that scene was out of place in the timeline going by TWS:

Spoiler

Fury's chase happens very early in the film, yet Simmons tells Fitz that something is up and all the agents are running around. That shouldn't have happened until much later.
