That's the first time that chrysalis was seen. I believe she mentioned she was at her brother's place, so I'm assuming that's him.

Oh wow, I totally missed a lot of the finer details then. I thought that was just a party. I didn't even catch the part about someone getting married.

To be honest, I think it was "just a party". But they talked about how Yo-Yo needed to get the dress for the wedding and other wedding things before the lights went out.

No, it will be for Yo-Żo to rescue, and she can disdainfully tell her to go away.
Because that's literally what already happened in the last episode.

I just realised the entire watchdog plan would have fallen on its face if YoYo had just stayed upstairs. Or gone for a walk.

I think the voice on the phone with senator Nadeer at the end said they killed 17 inhumans. They black out a bunch of cities, probably killed thousands and injured tens of thousands and killed barely a handful of inhumans.

The plan certainly worked as the largest act of terror in human history, but was utterly pathetic in its primary goal. Talk about bass ackwards.

All those normal dead humans were race traitors for not having joined the uprising against the foreign threat already. Extremism in action.

Besides, they were trying to pin the whole thing on inhumans, so it'd be kinda suspect if they went out of their way to avoid anyone but inhumans dying.

Yeah, that plan is actually horrific if you give it any thought at all. Just think about all the people in hospitals it would've killed. A power outage would've been one thing, because most hospitals have backup generators, but with the EMP Techno-Magic Power Drain Device, not even that would've been able to save them. :(

Also, the more non-inhumans killed, the more deaths are blamed on inhumans.

I think at this point it can be assumed the Watch Dogs have morphed into something a lot more insidious than "we hate and want to kill powered people." Daisy pointed out in an earlier episode that their methodology was changing in strange ways.

In regards to the repeated mentioning of "The Incident" in the Netflix shows as opposed to all of the other disasters, all of the Netflix shows take place in small parts of New York, where "The Incident" took place. It kind of makes sense that that would be more immediate for New Yorkers than Sokovia or whatever.

I really wish they'd actually use the characters' names instead of the stupid "green guy" stuff though.

They got better about this Luke Cage at least where they explicitly say "Captain America" and "Tony Stark." I think part of it is they want the show to stand on its own to an extent so they don't want to talk too much about other super heroes. They even refer to JJ as Luke's "rebound" for a while until late into the season when the night nurse says her name.

There's also the fact that even in the movies, they've almost never uttered any codenames. We've never heard them say Black Widow, Hawkeye, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, or Black Panther. War Machine was practically a throw-away line in Iron Man 2, Winter Soldier was apparently the name of the program the Russains used to make people like Bucky, and I don't recall them saying Ant-Man in his movie, though it might have been a throw-away line as well.

They all just call each other by their regular names, except Steve, whom they alternate between calling Cap and Steve.

Which is weird because I swear they showed off Avengers Tower in some promotional stuff for Daredevil season 1.

But seriously, the reason no contemporary movie is referenced is probably because they haven't happened yet. Not anything dumb like "lol New Yorkahs only talkin about New Yoak"

Like, the only reason I could see the accords referenced is when (Late Luke Cage S1 spoiler) Black Mariah is riling up the town against Luke Cage/Capes in general.

SHIELD has more of a reason to reference it, being directly affected by it, but the Netflix shows are much more street level, and I don't think what the guys up top do matter all that much to them.

So Jed Whedon had this to say about how May will deal with her "death":

quote:

Well, she's May, so she's kind of like, 'Oh, that happened.' But she now has common ground with Coulson...

And Maurissa Tancharoen added:

quote:

[Dying] will impact her life in ways that you may not expect at this point in time.


So what's the over/under on May and Coulson talking then shooting Ward's dog?

A.I.M. made a fake Mandarin that pretended to be a part of the Ten Rings. The Ten Rings are a real organization in the MCU though and apparently because of a Marvel short there is a real Mandarin as well.

So, I don't know, maybe we'll get the Mandarin in Agents of SHIELD because they aren't going to be making more Iron Man movies and they're introducing magic?

Is "patriots" really the right word for dudes who killed thousands of innocent bystanders in hospitals and is "outside threat" really the right term for American citizens? Hm.
