Are you joking or do you actually find it weird that she didn't like being turned into a porcupine, and is reacting differently than she would if it happened to someone else?

Are you some sort of alien trying to figure out how humans work?

Yeah, the cosmic irony of the biggest Inhuman Kool-aid drinker drawing an insanely short straw is super great. Giving her a poo poo power-set when she clearly expected something transcendent is one of the strongest decisions they've made, dramatically.

If Raina had the critical distance to accept being a hosed up spike monster right out of the gate, it'd ring incredibly false to me.

She also said her insides feel like gravel, which means that the thorns aren't only on the outside. :gonk:

The best part was when she complained to Cal and he responded with, "well, you did always like flowers. :)" That really made me laugh out loud.

Hello I am an alien please explain to me what happens when a woman and man goes into a hotel room and close the door?

I imagine the reason she's in so much pain is because she doesn't know how to control her powers and there will probably be a subplot where Reader teaches her to control her quills/thorns.

I don't think it was chafing so much as stabbing herself every time she moved.

I keep waiting for Revenge to get cancelled and for Emily VanCamp to move over to Shield. Seems like an easy transition, and I would think the producers would want to snap her up.

Yes please, also grab Madeleine Stowe as well and put her in a villainous role, good god her and Emily are just amazing in Revenge.

Nope. It's ratings have been cratering season after season. Not sure why ABC is keeping it going, this seems like it should be the last season for it.

Questions about tonight's episode:

- How much of a bro will Fitz be?
- Will the power use = slow-mo streak continue for Skye Mary Sue "Daisy Johnson" Zabo-Poots?
- How much poo poo will the Mua'dad gently caress up with his Frankenstein Parade?
- Will Mack a/o Bobbi be successful in their caper? Will Bobbi end up last-minute switching sides back to SHIELD?
- How angry is Hunter going to be when he wakes up?
- How will Simmons cope with Mary Sue Skye "Daisy" Johnson-Zabo Poots' newfound alien lineage?
- Is Ward more or less dead than the dog? Will either return to the show anytime soon?
- How much of a bro will Fitz be?
