The MSJ posted:I want to believe that this insurance company that have robot death insurance went bankrupt after Age of Ultron. They probably didn't start offering it until after Ultron. Wait, the Chitauri weren't robots right? Because otherwise, they would've started offering it after New York.

And while I can understand not being into the Nadeer family stuff, that was kinda eh, this was far from the worst episode even if you ignore Season 1. We got an interesting take on robot sentience, evil John Hannah, nerdy sci-fi references, and a Shotgun-Axe decapitation. I'm pretty happy. It had to have been the acting because it was just so... poor. Like everyone trying to be season 1 Brett Dalton poor. CW poor. I dunno, this show usually has a whole lot of leeway for me. Mack's quips were about the only thing that went right. And I'm sad that we have evil John Hannah. I liked him the grey area. Evil scientist is boring.

I'm not convinced that Aida wasn't affected by the Darkholde and she doesn't want it. All we really found out was that Radcliffe was plotting it and he thinks Aida is unaffected. That still leaves the possibility that Aida really is doing her own thing and is just playing along with Radcliffe. There were just too many little scenes of not just Aida acting on her own but also the May LMD seeming to act odd. Like, why would Aida have spoken the way she did to May about her plans if she was just following Radcliffe's orders? It might have all turned out to be lazy and cheap red herrings that don't make sense, but SHIELD has generally been better than that. Most of the time when there's a little unresolved issue or something that looks odd it leads to something. I see no reason to assume the worst here just because they didn't give us a teaser of Aida smiling or something. But we'll see. I'm fine to wait it out.

muscles like this! posted:It would be kind of funny if Vijay had the power of a DC comics character, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resurrection_Man_(comics) Every time he dies he comes back to life with a different power. Whatever his deal is, he's the closest thing to a Spider-Man we've got so far. Spergatory posted:I think Vijay's probably the Inhuman equivalent of Darwin. His power seems to be tied to his life being threatened; until that guy pulled a gun on him, he didn't seem to have any powers at all, whereas most other Inhumans have really obvious powers that they have a hard time controlling at first. He didn't seem to be fully aware of himself during the fight, either, operating more or less on pure instinct until his sister snapped him out of it. So I think his superpower is basically just "survive." He couldn't do anything about his sister's bullet because he didn't see it coming, so instead his powers just shoved him into a regenerative cocoon as soon as he was away from her. hope and vaseline posted:Same thought I had. He's just gonna keep evolving powers on the fly that'll keep him alive. Sounds like you're just describing Doomsday here. Watch him come back and the only changes are him being anaerobic and having bulletproof abs. RareAcumen fucked around with this message at 10:13 on Jan 12, 2017 |

Doomsday/Resurrection Man only get a new power/immunity when something full-on kills them. Vijay seemed to get a new power the moment his life was threatened at least once, which is closer to Darwin, which makes more sense given that Darwin is a Marvel character where the other two are DC dudes.

Grognan posted:I did not like the betrayal of the dude in the copter If you make a sacred pact with your sister, that one of you will for sure kill the other if they ever get changed into an inhuman, you probably shouldn't be so incredulous when you turn into an inhuman and your sister tries to kill you, and maybe not get into a helicopter with her right after the goons she hired tried to kill you. That was pretty dumb, yeah. Maybe it's because of Westworld, but I like evil scientist man being behind things instead of evil robots turning evil just because they're robots and they have feelings now.

Isn't Darwin an X-Men character? Even less likely than a DC character if so.

Something to ponder: Aida may not be sentient after all, but LMD-May definitely is (or should be, based on what we've seen). She was created from May's brainscan, and Aida was doing her light-weaving thing constructing the neuronal structure of a brain (presumably May's). Aida's emulating emotion, but LMD-May has a brain (or, at least, is running a brain as software). Cogito ergo sum and all that. Ming-Na Wen must be annoyed though. Could they really not have found someone who hasn't already had a "was impersonated by someone/something else" storyline?

I'm actually wondering if this might be a plot point -- she and Coulson could have cooked up a way to ID a clone / doppleganger / mimic / whatever and that's why he acted like such a yutz in the room with her.

I'm still thinking they'll kill off Gemma somehow, and she'll be replaced by an LMD. Basically, so Gemma is still a character on the show, but with that as an emotional punch towards the end of the season. Basically, it'd be Fred and Illyria all over again. Tons of brooding "you're not her" moments. And a resident LMD character if the show continues, since that's such a SHIELD thing.

Can't kill Jemma! Someone deserves to be happy. I really don't like Radcliff as the Superior, as it just turns him into the one behind everything evil, and I don't think that works from what we've seen. That would mean he was also behind the Watchdogs, which would mean he was involved with things before Hive recruited him. It will probably turn out to be someone else, though it would be cool if they used this to work into the Inhumans show, so it's actually Maximus. But that would be really forward thinking.

Yeah, that whole Blake as mastermind behind the Watchdogs really went anywhere other than establishing the Watchdogs as a bigger threat than rednecks in pickup trucks who found nifty weapons. I can see them doing a callback and having the reveal be that Blake is the Superior.

Eh, Radcliff doesn't want to copy himself. He wants he, himself, the current iteration of his consciousness, to live forever (along with ostensibly everyone else). There's a difference between creating a copy of something and preserving the original so that it never dies or decays.

Well, at least everyone human. I was definitely wrong about it changing Aida, but I didn't allow for Radcliffe doing his best Batiatus impression. I guess you don't need a lot of exposure to it to start down that road. He barely glanced at the thing.

Radcliffe didn't really need to be magically influenced by the Darkhold to want it. The guy's entire resume is genetically modifying humans with cyborg tech, trying to turn them into Inhumans, and then building androids. I don't think he needed much of a push to want to get ahold of a book that he thinks could give him unending knowledge and the key to power and eternal life. I mean, Radcliffe's always been a mad scientist who only plays nice with the good guys to stay out of jail.

I don't think Radcliffe is any more evil than he ever was, remember he went along with a plan to turn the entire human race into slaves of Hive, just to keep himself alive. Aida could easily have killed Fitz and May, but i assume she didn't because Radcliffe doesn't want any of his team mates to die if he can help it (generic Shield agents don't count).
