Amph Agents of SHIELD Discussion Thread (and Slingshot)

I think the issue is the show is going in so many directions. You have one part of the show that wants to go Inhumans, another that wants to be spy vs spy, another that's just a movie tie in that keeps everyone up to speed on the whole MCU.

If anything these last few episodes have felt like crossovers with two other shows rather than one show itself.

 

Quite simply put, they risk pulling a comic book convolusion. Wanna get back into Batman? I think there are at least 5 titles for Batman. Marvel X-Anything? A dozen? Two Dozen? One Marvel show is all they need.

 

But convolusion is one of the things I love about this genre!

Besides, they have 4 Netflix shows as well. WB has 3 DC tv shows now all in the same universe, with the possibility of crossovers with other ones.

2 more Marvel shows isn't really a issue, and honestly I feel it's needed. AoS is really feeling like a soft pilot for two other shows at this point.

 

I wonder if ultron bots are going show up next week.

 

So, these last two episodes were awesome. I still can't tell if May has full-on bought into bringing Coulson in, or if Simmons is playing everyone again like she did with Bobbi, but that's what I love about May.

I, too, wonder if there's something with the 1988 date mismatching Skye's supposed age...

 

Nah, they are going to assault the same arctic HYDRA base featured in AoU.

Ethan. A short life, but a merry one, I suppose, except for its end.

 

So much stuff happening I already forgot what happened the first half of the season.

 

Given May's backstory, I think she is VERY suspicious about powered people and feels that Coulson having such a big project and hints at being involved with more powered people... to her it probably seems like a betrayal given Coulson should know she would not be okay with that, or at the very least should've been in the loop on it.

 

At the end of the previous episode, when Fitz was trapped the bathroom, whatshisname asked if there was an electric hand dryer. Why? At the beginning of this one Fitz had already left the restaurant. I'm guessing something was cut?

 

Nothing was cut. You aren't meant to know what the dryer was for. That's the joke.

 

Last episode ended with Hunter instructing Fitz how to evade the agents. The next episode cut to after that when Fitz was escaping.

You fill in the blanks on you Fitz got that far yourself. We know Hunter instructed him and Fitz evaded 'real'SHIELD. The details are up to the imagination.

 

So neither of you know.

 

Noodle Incident...

 

Citing MacGyver's ingenuity in similar circumstances, it may be that Hunter said to reverse the polarity of the hand-dryer, and then ... *mumble*

 

I prefer this one myself.

 

Wow... that was a good episode.

Daisy's action scene... wow...

And I'm so happy my theory for how Coulson, SHIELD, Maria, Fury, and the Age of Ultron were all linked turned out 100% correct.

 

Very good episode. Really showed how far this show has come this season and how the characters have evolved. And yeah, that action scene was awesome. Very well done.

RIP Bus.

 

Fury will be pissed...

 

"spoiler alert"

 

Spoiler

Noooo, Bakshi got vaporized. I was just getting to like his new and improved self.

 

She has come a long way from being a nerdy computer hacker in a van.

 

Daisy's fight scene:



So, we've now got confirmation that Gonzales' ship-hold whatever is very bad juju and I loved Coulson and Hill being all like "he takes votes, whaaaaaaaaaa?" Also, clearly setting up more friction with NuSHIELD being ridiculously xenophobic in regards to powered people and Bobbi and Mack almost certainly jumping off from that.

EDIT: Also, if it wasn't obvious, the same dude that gave us the below is the same dude who gave us Skye's sequence above:
