Man that was a great loving episode of a spy show right there. Doublecrosses, twists, red herrings, and everything pointing to one set of events happening and then turning it into completely the opposite. Bravo show, bravo indeed.

I'm sure the helicarrier houses a lot of people. My brother is stationed on a large boat with the Coast Guard and they will go out for months at a time. People gotta sleep on something. I imagine it's much the same for a giant flying aircraft carrier except even more so.

The beds would be build into it though.

I thought the implication was Coulson built the New Avengers facility (AoU spoiler)

At this point is seems like it was just the Helicarrier, but yeah, it's possible that Theta Protocol became a catch-all for "Secret Avengers Support Stuff" and that included building of the new base. Really the only reason I give that any weight is because I don't know what else the spin-off would be about.

It's almost like it was obviously the helicarrier but they realised that they were being too subtle for the fans.

Also Cal was loving killing it this entire episode. Between "Sorry was that old? It looked old :ohdear:" and the goofy shrug and "I'unno!" when asked about the Hyde juice. Never leave us Cal Zabo :allears:

Agreed. MacLachlan's performance has been the single biggest factor in keeping me with the show this season (although it's been a good season in most other regards too). He'd better be given more chances to really shine, and he'd better not get killed by Jiaying or any of her incredibly uninteresting lackeys. (I'm like fifteen minutes into the latest episode, so I've yet to see what really plays out this week)

e: Seriously, I want him to pull the eyeless douchebag's head off.

Theta protocol being the helicarrier is all well and good but I'm still trying to figure out how that fits with Coulson saying to enact it if he's killed. "If I'm dead, launch the carrier." "Yes.....sir?"

Gonzales being the good guy?
SkyeMom being as unbalanced as SkyeDad?

I honestly did not expect any of that, but it works in hindsight. Bravo bravo bravo.

Unfortunately next week the second hour of Flash overlaps with the first hour of SHIELD. That's gonna be annoying. At least the CW has their shows hit the web quickly unlike ABC.

I could have sworn they had 2 more hours and were ending next week. I apologize for any misinformation, let me check my notes...

I imagine he just meant to like...start it up and get it in the air and then inform Fury that it's done or something. But yeah, definitely seemed like something they just wrote in to make Theta Protocol seem like it could some kind of crazy mysterious thing and to keep people guessing.

Almost makes me wonder if the movie people told the TV people to write in some ~~mystery thing~~ without elaborating on what it actually was, or that they told them one thing then switched gears after that scene happened.

poo poo's gonna be crazy next with the following factions all in play simultaneously:

Jiaying and most of the inhumans trying to kill them
Raina and possibly Gordon trying to get control of the inhumans
Skye trying to get them all to chill
Cal being Cal

I really hope Skye is smart enough to quickly put 2 & 2 together and realize that despite being an rear end in a top hat, Gonzalez wasn't an idiot. She knows that he knew that her mom was an immortal being that could regenerate from a vivisected corpse and wouldn't have "tried to kill her" by simply shooting her in the shoulder with a pistol.

If only Raina hadn't tried to combine her well-intentioned effort to stop a war with a power-play, she might have succeeded. You're wanted by SHIELD for killing SHIELD agents woman, there was no way suggesting yourself was going to seem like you were acting in good faith!

More than likely she'll buy it initially, then see the box with her medal while investigating and be all NOW WAIT JUST ONE SECOND SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SEEMS OFF!

RIP Gonzales. You were a good man, I'm sorry to have doubted you. :smith:

I figured Raina would be right, but I was also pretty confident that Gonzalez would be the one to kick things off. Going the other way wasn't just a fun twist, it makes everything else a lot more interesting.

Cal continues to be amazing, good poo poo in pretty much every scene.

Mack leaving was pretty abrupt and strange. I understand the reasoning behind it from his perspective, I guess, but I'd also think it'd make it easier for him to commiserate with Coulson. Maybe I should just be glad they didn't kill him off.

Gonna be a real short lived rebellion seeing as SHIELD have jets and bombs and can track Gordon. Good job getting all your people killed Jiaying.
