They couldn't be more obvious Inhumans are about to be introduced and quite likely next week.

Even assuming we're talking about Inhumans, that depends what you mean by "introduced." I have a feeling we won't get much more exposition about the Kree next episode.

Are there really that many people who would watch Agent Carter that aren't already watching shield?

The show has been ticking up the last few episodes but this episode was up almost several hundred thousand viewers from last. (5.30 million vs 4.58 million) I'm happy to see the show firing on all cylinders is bringing people back. Or if it's not that then whatever it is.

I hope the midseason break doesn't kill it's momentum. :ohdear:

I admittedly know nothing about comic book TV/movie demographics. Maybe Agent Carter will pull in the Alias crowd that wasn't watching SHIELD? I know someone was posting about how they have a friend who loves AoS but hasn't watched any of the movies so who knows?

Not that I know of? I mean there was an Inhuman comic that started earlier this year and got delayed because of a notoriously slow as hell artist but they got rid of him after a couple issues and put someone else on. Now it comes out on time every two weeks. It also has a new Inhuman character that is pretty awesome and would fit in great on this show.

I think that is the one I am talking about. All I knew was that the "Inhumanity" event they hyped after Infinity never happened because the central comic got delayed. I don't really have a local comic shop, so unless I make an effort to keep up with this kind of news, I easily fall out of the loop.

Honestly I do hope Skye gets powers. Last season I would have said blah, but she's 100x better this season. The fight with fake May was great.

I've always thought it was possible that it was The Inhumans but I just wasn't sure enough to make that guess. I still don't think the city is Attilan. Or at least an 'in use' Attilan. And I know for sure they're not going to do anything with Inhuman culture or the royal family which severely limits what they will be able to do on the show. I think if they do go down that road they most they can do is introduce a few new Inhumans and maybe use it to explain Skye and that be it. But it just as easily could all be a big fakeout.

Also, I've been sick all week, and while attempting to sleep last night, my mind kept wandering back to the question someone asked earlier in the thread: How are they going to get away from the HYDRA planes that just got the order to shoot them down?

My brain said that May will turn off the engines, making the S.H.I.E.L.D. plane plummet, and then she'll pull a Han Solo, and fly out of there in a fancy Millennium Falcon maneuver.

I think that there is a good chance that some crazy Ward-plan will save the bus - he has to keep his word to Skye. :shepface:

I'd be happy with an Anti-hero ward. Though I don't know how they could have a constant appearance on the show though.

There were so many genuinely entertaining things from that last episode, most of it from Patton Oswalt, but in retrospect so much of it was also arbitrary padding. So much talking heads. At least those heads do manage to move around and actually do things instead of standing still delivering exposition like they did in season 1, but the show still hasn't completely shaken off the inborn DNA of boring-rear end exposition that dragged down so many of the season 1 episodes.

AFAIK there hasn't. Specifically, even Lockjaw is an Inhuman that turned into what he looks like now after exposure to the Terrigen Mists.

Well, you see, it's because I said it was gonna happen, so of course nobody believed me because I am basically the ancient Trojan princess/priestess Cassandra and I am fated to tell it like it is but not have anyone believe me, especially forums poster Dan DiDidio, who insists that S.H.I.E.L.D. is gone despite evidence to the contrary.
