    Oh yeah, what's with the spelling of these names? I always have to go running to the wiki to find out how I'm supposed to spell "AIDA", "Izel", or "Kora". None of which was ever a problem when I was just watching the show, but when you go online to discuss it on a message board...

    Series just ended... I watched entirety. It was a very good show. Could have been better. Was still very good.

    Most of those spellings are pretty intuitive, I thought- they're spelled how they sound. AIDA is "aid"-"a" (plus you have the whole "AI" angle to get you halfway there). Izel has a shortened Israel-like sound, but with a "z" (though i admit, since S6 is my least favorite season and still newish, I did have to doublecheck if it was pronounced "Izel" or "Isel" because it hadn't sunk in yet). And I did often have to verify if it was "Jemma" or "Gemma" (as they're both real names one has likely encountered). Deke vs Deak took one look-up as well.

    Kora is the only one that really annoys me because I can never remember if it's two "r"'s or one. But I think that only trips people up up because they are probably aware of The Legend of Korra (even if they've never watched it). I mean, I suppose you could also think it was spelled Quora- but even I, as a mega Tron fan, assumed they weren't spelling it that way.

    Could be worse- they could have named a character Kristen, Kirsten, Kathryn, Erin, Stephen, Sean, Lindsay, etc ;).

    I've always watched the show with subtitles on so this never tripped me up. The only one I have trouble spelling is Jiaying.

    The show utilized the One Steve Limit nicely, because who here knows even one Izel? Now Mike, [as in Mike Peters (Deathlok) is common. I know tons of Mikes/Michaels.

    Had a few too many people names Agent though. Hard to keep up.

    Snap was addressed in finale and cut out. Showrunners going with Quantum alternative timeline time travel saving from Thanos. Both Endgame and S7 basically lean towards alt timelines.

    https://mcucosmic.com/2020/08/16/agents-of-s-h-i-e-l-d-s-snap-reference-was-cut-due-to-time/


    "Some of the stuff they did with time travel in “Endgame” indicated that there are other timelines where other adventures are occurring. We’re following the multi-verse rule. The only way that someone survives Thanos’s snap in the movies is go into the quantum realm, and we originally did plan to give that a mention — because we used the quantum realm to move between timelines — but it got cut for time."

    That statement doesn't actually confirm AOS is in a different timeline, though- only that they utilized the multiverse (which they did, via the alternate timeline the Chronicoms created) and that they used the quantum realm to move between timelines (which they also did). The Thanos mention seems to be a context description for the interview statement.

    Unless we see the actual mention (and assuming it was actually shot [and, thus, potentially canon] as opposed to cut from the script for time [like, apparently, Deke's Nick Fury stinger]) it's not that useful for speculation because the reference could be "we may have been able to even survive the decimation/snap/blip using this". And, even if it isn't that and something more concretely linked to the Snap, there's no point where their time travels could have put them in the Quantum Realm to survive the Snap (since Season 6 was a year after it) or to have influenced the events in Wakanda to prevent the Snap.

    Even if you inserted an off-screen adventure between seasons (or, really, immediately after Season 5) where the crew went quantum abaord the Zephyr to avoid the Snap, that leaves May and Coulson exposed to the odds. And, if you're going to be inserting new offscreen adventures in order to make the scenario work, I don't see how that's not a poorer option than just letting what did play out, play out offscreen between seasons.

    Does anyone know when Seasons 6 and 7 will be made available for Disney+ on the UK? Tried looking online but not seeing any informaion, maybe it's somehow tied up exclusively on a different platform?

    Binged the whole season yesterday. Good times for sure. It won't be the same no matter how many more shows they launch on D+

    It was very good, wasn't it? How would it have improved? I enjoyed the show's finale as much as Star Trek: DS9, TNG, Voyager *meh on that one* and Desperate Housewives', also followed start to finish.[face_love]

    I would have liked to have seen one or more Sisters at Skye's orphanage come into the show, especially during Ghostrider.[face_devil]

    The man you quote was wrong, and is still wrong in this scenario ;).

    Would have been nice to see at least one of the MCU SHIELD agents like Nick Fury or Maria Hill just to bring it all together to the beginning. I'm OK without that but would have been a nice touch.

    Started a rewatch this weekend and had to chuckle at how young some of them looked. Also made me wish Ward had somehow had a part in this last season. His multiple roles were good.

    Ward was memorable, for sure. Really missed him, and the Adrianne Palicki character (Bobbi Morse)

    Yeah, Bobbi and Hunter's absence this season or two was felt the most, IMO. Would have been great if they had used an episode of S6 between Izel arcs to do a "Most Wanted" stand alone episode as a final farewell, or at least show up with the group at the end. I assume it was because Adrianne was busy with Orville at the time they filmed these last year.

    One thing that struck me as funny is that every episode of season 7 has a 2019 copyright.

    Probably because they were filmed last summer, in 2019.

    Yeah, they filmed Seasons 6 & 7 back to back. They essentially filmed one season with 3 or 4 extra episodes and split it into two seasons across two years. Limited their ability to tie into Endgame but also saved them from any Covid delays.

    Oh, yeah, I know, and @The2ndQuest just mentioned it in his previous post.

    The thing is, with most movies and TV shows, they try to get the copyright for the year in which it will be aired or released to theaters. Since the 7th season was always meant to air this year, I thought they'd go with a 2020 copyright notice.

    Yeah, and in case you're wondering, I always stay put until the end of the credits in the theater and make a mental note of the year of copyright and the MPAA certificate number. :p

    I guess Coulson kinda became the new Ward? Always find a way to stick him back in.

    Well considering the show was created around resurrecting him in the first place...
