I was just coming to post this. So the headline "The last part of season 4 will reward long time viewers" was actually a hidden pun.

Wow. What an episode. I can't wait to see weird world. Also that fight with robo Mace was such a Terminator love letter. The background even looked like the mental asylum in T2, red shifted instead of blue. It was great.

C'mon, Sonic Boom.




Can we call this the New Ward Order?


Edit: I totally agree with every instance of "Holy poo poo!" and "gently caress!"

June, Coultron, and Mackro, and Macebook were all pretty dead, but I think Fitzbit and the DaisySwarm probably are around.

So assuming its 2017 in the show, then Gemma is 30, then she was 25 when she joined SHIELD? Not really out of the ordinary really.

You know, if they ever did a smartest people in the MCU, I'm sure Gemma and Fitz would rank pretty high, only slightly behind Bruce Banner and Hank Pym.

Random thing I learned on the internet:



November 5 2013 is the airdate of the episode FTZZ (the one where she got the exploding head disease from the Chitauri helmet). Not sure what that means, but it's maybe something?

Butt first, let's

God drat, that was an amazing, intense episode. Can someone give Elizabeth Henstridge an award for that? Because drat. She ran the gauntlet in that episode.

And really, the main reason I was hoping/expecting Daisy to not be a LMD isn't because I'm clever or anything. Its just because I couldn't imagine this episode not having her kick some robot rear end in amazing ways. And I was not disappointed.

Jesus, that Hydra world being slowly unveiled was one hell of a cliffhanger. Leave it to Radcliffe/Aida to decide that the perfect world was the one where the Nazis won.

There are people like that? That should be amusing when Daisy has to send episodes holding back her vomit whenever Ward touches her.

Its both. His body is dead and his consciousness is in the Framework. That's what Radcliffe accidently convinced Aida was all that mattered right before she slashed both of his wrists.

Ah, Radcliffe. Brought down by his own mad scientist rantings. A truly fitting quasi-end.

At least until he goes all mad scientist in the Framework.

Yakmouth posted:

It's wasteful.

Considering the whole episode was spent establishing that (a) your consciousness can exist in the Framework even after you body dies, (b) they can die in the Framework, and (c) Aida's figured out how to have a LMD controlled by decapitated brain... I'd say there's really no guarantee that everyone's making it out of this season in the same form they entered it in.

Like Daisy, I fear for FitzSimmons.

I realize that nothing is guaranteed, but I'd had my heart set on LMD May becoming long term. My second choice would have been LMD Mac or Mace, and I'm feeling like those particular avenues have been pretty conclusively blocked off.

It's a minor disappointment, not even really a criticism -- I know how much plot Season 4 can deliver over the next seven episodes and I plan on loving every minute.


I'm really scratching my head over which regret got erased for Fitz to end up where he has... something to do with his father, right?
