Amph Agents of SHIELD Discussion Thread (and Slingshot)

Spoiler

And the birth of Quake

 

Wow. Just wow (I am not being sarcastic).

 

Well that's my luck

Spoiler

A character I actually like dies, and the villain that had potential to be great ended up being nothing at all. Inhuman birth part was well done though. Shrugs for rest of the episode.

 

Spoiler

Trip was charismatic but, to he honest, the character was given nothing to do this season. He was wall dressing. His death was a foregone conclusion.

 

Spoiler

Though he is probably dead, he got hit with the mist too, they have an out if they want to bring him back

 

Spoiler

No doubt it was terrigenesis, right? The small quake at the end was cool. And I wonder what Raina has become! Tigra?

Any theories for the eyeless inhuman at the end? There's a blind character in the current Inhuman series, but he's kind of a Gambit-like rogue and I doubt they would waste him like that.

 

Spoiler

I thought Raina had quills on her as well as claws

I don't know, maybe their own show created Inhumans? Feels like they will be the new focus for now, Hydra probably taking a backseat with Whitehall dead.

 

Spoiler

There's also Fake!May around. If they go the Madame Masque way with her, she could easily be the focus for normal non-supers spy action.

 

Spoiler

and she's with Ward now, two Hydra agents who were only loyal to their Hydra superior now on their own.

That said Skye shooting Ward was priceless, he looked so shocked by it

 

That was my favorite part of the episode.

 

I hope Whitehall gets saved by being put into the Kraken suit. We really need that Mr. Hyde vs Kraken showdown, they've been teasing it for a while. Coulson coming in and shooting the villain while he isn't looking is getting real old. Other than that, great episode.

 

This episode was amazing.

Spoiler

The only eyeless Inhuman I can think of is Videmus from Son of M but I doubt this is him.

 

More like March. Agent Carter will premiere in January in SHIELD's slot until then.

 

I noticed that. I was like "Where have I heard that before... Oh right."

 

I straight up cheered at that part.

 

Yeah I gotta admit I cackled in glee when that happened

 

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is quickly becoming the most badass film/tv project ever.

Before this season is even over, we're gonna get an entire miniseries set in World War II, then immediately after we get Daredevil, Age of Ultron, and Ant Man.

Wow.

 

Big points for the ep's final closing minutes with the whole "mist" scene, very excellently done. I loved the shot of Skye, had to do some google-fu to figure out who the reveal of her name was but it makes sense with her reaction at the end.

Spoiler

Even though Trip death was kind of random, I thought it clicked emotionally. The whole mists turning them into Inhumans was freakin' great. I guess, and hope, when the Inhumans movie happens we'll see basically the same type of "transformation" effect style.

Skye's dad is Mister Hyde and she's Quake, that's a great, deep-cuts pull from the MCU. They got a bona fide superhero on the team! With a relatively easy power to show on TV (shake the camera, throw dust at it).

 

This was a great episode. I totally loved it. What mind boggles me is what on earth is on that thumb drive Bobbi is secretly keeping from Hunter.
