Amph Agents of SHIELD Discussion Thread (and Slingshot)

Well, ScarJo's currently pregnant...

 

Yes but this is a movie universe. James Bond has been seen by millions of people in his own universe yet he's still a spy.

Covers are only important if the story says it is.

 

Unless you buy the "Bond has had plastic surgery" or "There's been more than one James Bond, which is just a code name" theory.

 

Clark Gregg interview (spoilers)

 

Coulson confirmed for Iron Fist mini-series...

 

That was pretty nice. Can't wait for the finale.

 

Spoiler

Geez Ward, you drop Fitz and Simmons into the ocean inside of an airtight compartment, their scientists! They'll Macguyver their way out you idiot!

Unless they really are dead as the impact of hitting the water at that speed smashed them and broke every bone in their bodies. In which case... your redemption chances are going down Ward.

 

Get ready for a file transfer...

lol

Yeah, if they're dead I lost lot of interest in this show. They are my favorite characters.

 

It's a Whedon brand show. Somebody from the main cast has to bite it, and we already know it's not going to be Coulson.

 

Spoiler

Can it just be Fitz...

 

Loved the file transfer bit

Didn't like most of the Ward flashback scenes. What they were trying to establish, blah blah blah all fine. Just ... Didn't like the specifics they put in there.

 

Did the dog die?

 

So how did the Bus take off after Fitz set off the emp... wouldn't that disable it?

 

That emp only has a 10 foot radius bro

 

I wanted to see

Spoiler

Gabe Jones' trumpet in the suitcase. He used to use it in battle, but I don't remember how.

 

Can we please stop with the casual racism and not assume that Trip is Gabe Jones' grandson?

Until proven otherwise, I believe he is one of dozens of Dum Dum Dugan's grandkids from multiple women.

 

Trip mentioned his grandfather's trunk containing stuff used in his days with the Howling Commandos. The only black member of that team we've seen so far is Gabe Jones. It's not hateful or arrogant to reach an obvious conclusion.

 

I actually thought it was kind of funny...

 

This episode continued all the suspense and fun that's been in 90% of the season so far. I really loved Coulson being excited about the stuff in Trip's trunk, since he's clearly a WW2 history fan (remember the Captain America trading cards?). I also loved the extra info about Skye's parents; someone on another website suggested she might be something called an Inhuman. The comedic stuff with Coulson & May was fun, and I was shocked to learn Garrett was a prototype for the Deathlok program.

 

Casual racism. Case in point. Thank you.

 

Racism isn't taking notice of a person's heritage, but hating them or thinking they're inferior because of it. My comments indicated neither, so please back off.
