Super pissed that we didn't actually see Raina's transformation. But we did get another quick glimpse after the eyeball/face-spike closeup that nobody's noticed yet, and I think it might be significant: When Right after that, we get a montage of reaction shots as the earthquake hits. The first shot is really fast -- but I'm pretty sure it's Raina! Still in the room, staring with weird eyes, hard to see -- just a face amidst swirling smoke. Maybe she's become invisible, or transparent? Hard to say with such a quick shot, but that overhead where she was nowhere to be found might be a clue... Seriously I have to wait until March for this? Argh.

Could be either one, though, good eye on the overhead.

People went nuts with Star Trek fan-fic

Seeing Coulson bust out some BJJ moves on daddy was awesome. Clark Gregg is a pretty capable fighter himself and it's cool that they let him use it in the show.

Himuro posted:I don't like season 2 of Agents of SHIELD so far. I prefer S2 but you still make some valid points. It's a shame that Skye's politics have been tossed to the wayside so completely. They could have handled it at least a little bit better. Other things you say are true, too. And you're right that it's become super serious compared to season one. I just generally think that's a good thing. RVamp sums up my thoughts best: Republican Vampire posted:If you know the Marvel universe it's just "Oh, that's how they're doing Mr. Hyde and Quake", whereas if you don't, your understanding of Skye is more complex. You can see how she's shed her Rising Tide ideals after seeing how out of their depth they are, being betrayed by a fellow member, and seeing the more relateable side of SHIELD. You can see her growing tougher and more calloused, especially when it comes to her relationship with ward. And then you can see her getting super powers out of nowhere with mysterious hints to a backstory to be revealed. It's about character development and poo poo. If you took Season 2 Skye compared to Season 1 Skye, completely out of context, S1 is more interesting. S2 Skye was basically just a newbie SHIELD agent with no actual interesting traits of her own. She had a vague mysterious past and is tied to interesting characters, but those aren't really traits of her own. Comparatively, S1 Skye has more interesting skills and viewpoints. But that's only if you take her completely out of context, which you can't do. Season 2 Skye becomes interesting when you look at her holistically, see who she is now compared to where she came from, see her current relationship and interactions with Ward compared to where she started. I felt the same way about FitzSimmons, the evolution of their relationship and Fitz's new struggles were really interesting to watch, considering where they came from. Their old dynamic was cute, but often trite. There are hundreds of shows with empty banter between static characters already, I much prefer a show with dynamic characters that change and shift.

Wow. Yeah, I'm in the "DVRed it, saw 650 replies, knew it would be good" club, too. If that's the MID season finale, I'm excited to see how it ramps up even further from here. Definitely lots of "why didn't you put a bullet in their head" moments, though. Yeah, shots to center of mass usually do the trick but they're already so familiar with lots of different serums, devices and alien tech at this point that nothing should be taken for granted.

Really hope that's not the end for Whitehall, though he's kind of extraneous at this point -- the Agent 33 plot is certainly going to benefit from him being dead, at least in the short term. Reed Diamond was the loving man, though. Totally commanding performance as a believably repulsive human being. That moment when he turned and looked at the Doctor, just before Whitehall dies, was chilling. Completely unintimidated. Kinda hope his magic organs save his life in the short term, because I was looking forward to him being smashed into a pulp (though I appreciate the irony of the control freak being undermined by an anti-climactic bullet to the back). His buttoned down, hands-off crazy is a great contrast to Cal's barely restrained madness. I'd love to have seen more of that.

New cast member incoming: Blair Underwood. Time to start taking bets on how long he lives? Will he get the Lucy Lawless, and be offed in his first epsiode? Or will he go the B.J. Britt route, and get offed after showing up briefly in a handful of episodes? Or will he not be offed at all? And for the Marvel Comics Super  s, is Dr. Andrew Garner an existing character, or brand new?

The cast put together a really sweet farewell video to B.J. Britt.  http://abc.go.com/shows/marvels-agents-of-shield/news/fan-hq/12102014-goodbye-trip-bj-britt Some really fun behind the scenes shots, an adorable farewell from Brett Dalton and his daughter(?), and Clark Gregg wants to do a #TripLives campaign. Really cool to see the camaraderie among the cast.

Regarde Aduck posted:In this episode Skye acts retarded with a gun and does gets into crazy situations because she is a professional. You're dumb. She acted quite competently with a gun. She put three in Ward, and left because execution is different than combat. She wanted to kill her dad but couldn't, and who could blame her? He had mental issues but obviously cared deeply for her. She was apologetic to Coulson because she felt like she just chose one dad over another. You expect her to double tap a downed opponent like she's the Punisher or it's Call of Duty?

Bruceski posted:I still don't know what Trainspotting's real name is, when someone says it I can remember for about three minutes. "British Hawkeye."  Gonz posted:Of course the daughter of Muad'Dad knows the weirding way.  Whitehall was old when he got the MomSpleen, it rejuvenated him. He MIGHT come back from being shot once. We'll see what the story requires. Mr. Hyde, in the original short story, was a lunatic who had no self control and was freakishly strong, probably due to adrenaline. This portrayal of him is actually more frightening than someone who hulks out, because you never know if if he's going to throttle you and throw you around until he's doing it. I like what they're doing on this show. Barry Convex posted:Yes, and the Kree corpse that was "introduced" on SHIELD was relevant to the two living Kree that appeared in GOTG because They're all Kree. What is wrong with you. Dan Didio posted:Crazy to look back at a time when S.H.I.E.L.D. existed. RIP. You guys can't see the forest for the trees, but there is a League of Negative Nancy's (L.O.N.N.) forming here. The Contrarian, the Pedant, and the Newcomer (forums posters Dan Didio, Barry Convex, and Himuro, respectively) have already made their appearances, but will not officially team up yet until all members make an appearance. I'm pretty close to losing my poo poo and joining, as the Vindicated, honestly, but my origin story is taking for loving ever to play out. tl;dr: Listen to me, chuckleheads. I'm always right and I need you to acknowledge it, 1984-style, before I destroy you.

Metropolis posted:If Ward is serious about getting together with Skye, he needs the DL on the face-changing technology Agent 33 used. Then he can re-infiltrate SHIELD, join Skye's team, and try to get her to fall in love with him while hoping to christ his disguise isn't compromised. Why would Ward have to use the face-changing technology on himself? There's a much creepier way that he could use the face-changing technology...

I like what they're doing on this show. Besides, you never know if his current state is the result of Hyde potion 1.0, and he could return with a new and improved version that is more like the comic's hulk-out style. If Whitehall does return somehow, and Cal hears about it, that sounds like a believable crazy person progression. "Oh yeah? I'm going to kill that son of a bitch even deader than before!

I've definitely been enjoying that part of the story so here's to hoping it comes back. Edit: Dante is the main character the first few issues of Inhuman. From what I can see aside form the royal drama the series ,Inhuman, is about new Inhumans dealing with their powers. Elucidarius fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Dec 11, 2014 |

So is the basic thinking that the Inhumans movie will end with a terragenesis bomb transforming large parts of the world into super people and Civil War about Iron Man wanting to have these guys registered since they're untrained and dangerous and Captain America opposing that because that's basically World War 2 nazi thinking?
