Finally caught up. A part of me is wondering if this is gonna lead to Coulson's SHIELD expanding into being based off the helicarrier after all this realSHIELD bullshit is wrapped up.

twistedmentat posted:

Man, Bobbi is totally going to change sides next episode. Fitz will totally turn Mack to.

Mack will be all "Fury kept secrets! Coulson is just honkey Fury!"
and Fitz come back with "Yea but at least he was out there doing stuff!? Where was real SHIELD when Hydra tried to get the Diviner? Where were they when *other stuff* happend?" and Mack will relent, because its Fitz.

Honestly, with the dissatisfaction Fitz is showing towards how they're handling Skye and how Simmons is going evil, I could see him flipping to realSHIELD.

I'm in pieces.
I would expect the opposite, actually. From what we've seen of RealSHIELD, along with the transparency business (while they sit on an aircraft carrier doing nothing for nobody) they also seem to be far more paranoid about enhanced humans and alien influences than Coulson is. I would expect Simmons to jump ship far more readily than Fitz would on that count, but I also wouldn't be surprised if they showed both of them being tempted at least briefly by the "transparency" angle.

I know it's been officially denied, but honestly this new "branch" of SHIELD seems like it would transition awfully well into SWORD if the show-runners wanted it to.

Twice actually. With a third coming since she's cast as the lead of a new spinoff.

'Died' on the Queen's Gambit, 'Died' on the Tanker, 'Died' swallowing poison when Nyssa first came to Starling to bring her back, 'Died' when she was shot full of arrows. I really liked Sara, but I'm really sick of watching people be sad about her. It makes up like 40% of the show by volume.

The more I think about it, the more I think it's a shame that they already cast someone as Luke Cage.

Mack could totally pull it off, and they already have the beginnings of an origin story for him. Sure, it's different than the comics origin, but still. Mack was down in the Temple, and it affected him. Made him super strong and tough. All they have to do is have him get hit with the Mists, and he gets Luke's powers. It's more than he can take, so he leaves S.H.I.E.L.D., assumes the name Luke Cage to make it harder for S.H.I.E.L.D. to find him, and heads to New York, where he meets Jessica Jones and Danny Rand (Iron Fist). His friendship with Rand reminds him of his friendship with Fitz, so he learns to control his powers...

Also, the guy they have cast as Luke Cage is an awful actor.

Steven doesn't want me watching him sleep anymore.
As far as I'm concerned they should just say "gently caress it" and go full Heimdall and let him be whoever. Marvel's got plenty of perfectly good white heroes he could be. He could be Wonder Man, that dudes goes back and forth between happy fun-times and total dick.

Or, Guantlet would be a good match too, no blackwashing needed.

The only time she actually died in the narrative where we thought she was dead but she wasn't was on the Queen's Gambit. The death on the tanker was only that Ollie thought she died there as we as the audience had already seen that she was alive in present day.

EDIT: Wait this isn't the Arrow thread. Quit talking about Arrow in the SHIELD thread! That goes for me too!

Yeah I not even started the third season yet and don't want to get spoiled again! Anyway I can't wait for tomorrow even if I hoping the New Shield plot doesn't last too long, as I more interesting in seeing more Mr Hyde going after the group some more.

She played Isabelle Hartley, Hunter's boss in that little merc unit that worked with Coulson and Company in the first episode of the season. She unwisely touched the Diviner and died.

Actually, she was (briefly) the only human to survive touching it (because they lopped off her arm immediately) - she died in a car crash.

Oh. Her death was very downplayed for how much they put into that character. I stopped caring and forgot about her about as quickly as Hunter did.

I'm torn. I don't care much about New Shield, but any chance to listen to EJO talk into my ears with his EJO voice and his bucket full of gravel is most welcome.

If by the end of this season we don't get Skye dropping out of VTOL C-17 into the signature kneeling, fist in the pavement pose and causing a giant gently caress-off earthquake I'm gonna be a little disappointed. On the off chance however they're saving this for an Avengers cameo then it's all good.

I'm down for that especially if they bring back the tactical hoodie/turtleneck.
