God drat. Remember how sure we all were that Coulson's resurrection was related to LMD's?

Talbot whips off the moustache to reveal...a smaller moustache!!! He's still Glenn Talbot, but he just bought a new pair of trimmers and he wanted to try them out. What do you think? Is it too much? Maybe he should just shave his moustache entirely, but you know how it is...he's had a moustache his whole adult life. You grow weirdly attached to things like that, y'know? Anyways, what was he talking about?

Or maybe it could be just what Agent Blake said in "Fzzt" - Coulson's personality has changed a bit since his death. She never said that she saw anything different with Coulson via X-ray, just that he'd changed.

Kheldarn posted:I think Jamesman was talking about Akela in the episode "Eye Spy"... ... yes, I know. I was trying to make the point that in the tag of that other episode, Agent Blake also commented that Coulson's personality seemed different, and as far as we know, he doesn't have a robot eye. So therefore, Akela's comment could easily have been just about his personality, not about anything she saw with the X-ray vision. Jamesman posted:The conversation that took place heavily implied she saw something inside of him. Thinking about it some more, I guess she could have seen that his skull was cut open at some point. That also works, I'm sure that would probably leave some kind of mark on the skull. Stabbey_the_Clown fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Oct 19, 2014 |

Hadn't he had extensive surgeries to fix the fact he'd started to decay as well? He's exterior might look okay but he could be all sorts of hosed up inside.

Technically the Avengers were never offically 'mantled' though, I thought? My impression was that Fury's plan was to have a super-threat response team built up as a total last resort when necessary, only he got caught out mid-planning/red tape stage, hence it being the 'rag-tag' team that was forced into action/called up/hoped upon/risked/etc, and that it worked was somewhat skin of the teeth (and the fact it was an offworld based threat). E: I'm talking purely the world that the movies are building, not comics.

Captain America favoring superheroes, who regularly intervene violently in major conflicts with resultant massive collateral damage, having no oversight by or accountability to a democratically appointed/elected representative of the people in the country they operate in is one my personal WTF moments.

Didn't they toss anyone who objected into a war camp? It's been years since I read it, but between that and Robo-Thor murdering the poo poo out of the rebels once they were helpless it had a pretty strong WWII vibe.

Yeah that was pretty much the gist of it. Cap wasn't that against the registration but he loathed the ways it was being implemented and abused. Rogers is kind of a non crazy libertarian at heart.

Even with the time traveler, there's still plenty of room for him being a stealthy nutcase. Even the "invisibility suit" from the last episode is just a couple steps up from these things.

Yeah, it was sold as the heroes being held accountable and finally making sure they were all formally trained and held to a certain standard. What we got was interdimensional torture camps in a universe which sends you insane and people getting their arms eaten.

Was that before or after aliens showed up? They weren't really aliens of course, that would be ridiculous. Instead they were the comic book version of SHIELD with a leader that Castle had previously shadowed (and maybe dated? I forget). For all of the hubbub around Flash/Arrow/Gotham/AoS, Castle is steadily becoming more of a comic book show than any of them

The premise of Castle is that he writes popular mystery books and has a mind for mysteries. He joins a sub-par and almost completely inept police force as research and is able to solve the crimes they can't solve even though they should be able to do so.

Castle ragging on Commander Riker (Frakes directed the ep), then going on to solve a death by phaser murder is awesome. Castle hunting for WMDs, not so much. There's way more goofy episodes than serious ones, although the 2-part eps have gotten so over the top (my dad is a super spy!) that they're unintentionally funny as well. e: to get this back on track, when is Ward going to become Frank Castle and murder the hell out of everyone?
