So, not that anyone actually cares but, uhhh... what happens to Gabe now? Isn't he a minor? Whose last living relatives just took the highway to hell? Are they just gonna... wheel him back to his empty house, give him a pat on the back and wish him good luck?

He becomes the next Ghost Rider in his wheelchair.

I feel like he needs to kind of transform and have legs that end in giant flaming wheels, a Segway Centaur from Hell.

This made me go on a wiki search and I just found out that J.A.R.V.I.S. is also Vision. Which is just kinda...huh.

It's even stranger when you realize J.A.R.V.I.S. was based on a mind scan of his father's butler, the actual Jarvis. It's kind of a shame Vision only shows up in the huge movies, as a result, because man that's got to be a mind gently caress.

They didn't though? I'm pretty sure she always ends up back where she started at the end of every speedy sequence.

They really did get it wrong this time though, she was in speed-mode way too long.

I won't even argue it was for effect reasons, because the second time, it would have been cooler to see her ping-ponging to deal with each thing rather than dealing with it all in a single run; I'm sure there's a million ways they could have visualized this (like showing them all happening at once in a blur or the like).

Her power worked in a very specific way up until now, and unshackling her actually hurts the uniqueness of it.

Honestly, I quit months ago. When TV Johnny Depp was at that camp where people were feeding themselves to zombies. It's actually pretty impressive, I'll watch some unmitigated garbage but Fear was just a bridge too far to me. The premise could have been good too, and no comic baggage but nahhhhh.

Oh no, I'm not saying it's weird I'm just saying 'Oh. I did not know that. I'm surprised they sorta made it into its own character' is all.

Also, I can't wait for something to get blown up and LMD May to shield the team by holding up six tons of building from crushing them.

I just hope they give not-May a day or two span after she finds out she's not actually May but doesn't tell anybody, to give Ming-Na Wen something to do other than scowl for a while. She then tells everybody all the things May has never told them, goes out in a blaze of glory saving Coulson, and then real May has to come back and face everybody knowing what she's been hiding all along.

Darkhold seems to make its readers want to create new life. Now that Aida has, she's only really been evil in trying to conceal it. That's a more interesting angle than just the usual crazy robot spy takeover storyline that this could be heading towards.

Did not see May LMD already being in the field coming. I wanted Aida to be a good sorceress bot but she's already killed so the law of robotics is out the window :smith:

TVLine's pretty good at predicting what's getting renewed and what isn't and they don't have very high hopes for Agents.

I saw a commercial for Agents of Shield being moved to MeTV, so that pretty much means it's dead.

You know, the channel that runs nothing but Matlock and MacGuyver re-runs.

That means it's in syndication. It's not for first run episodes.

Infinity War is out in May 2018, one full season away. That would be the logical place to bring SHIELD back to the movies if that is something they are planning to do.

The show probably wouldn't survive SHIELD being back in the movies, good ratings or not.

If they do cancel Agents of SHIELD, a neat thing to do (that they probably won't do) would be to have little hints and cameos in the existing shows to give a vague impression that SHIELD is still a thing and what they're up to.

Watched them all. Could have easily be part of regular episodes, but I'll watch it and Like it if that is what it takes for ABC to realize that people like the show.
