It kind of tickles me that the actress playing General Mom was previously a regular on, of all shows, The Shield. Can't get away from shields, I guess.

Kheldarn posted:And here I though Kasaius cut off Yo-Yo's arms to keep her from fighting back. That makes more sense than what happened. It's bad enough that she should have seen the chakram and easily avoided it, but then it also somehow managed to cut off both arms, at the same place? I'm assuming that Ruby is not your standard teenage girl, considering the lengths her 'mother' goes to keep her locked up. I'm also not sure they're actually mother and daughter in the biological sense, although I guess it's possible. The whole thing is a little strange, as executing subordinates is usually frowned upon by the Air Force. I'm also bummed that we've already lost not-Enoch.

double nine posted:overall it was a clunky episode, both in terms of setting up plot threads as well as the fighting (I can't be the only one who thought that that encounter with the evil mooks was clunky right?). Regarding the first, a bunch of drama bs is coming from the fact that neither yo-yo nor coulson are talking to each other or the rest of the team. That's just a lazy source of drama. Yeah, this is the one thing that's pissing me off too. She's told Mack at least some parts, but she absolutely needs to come clean to everyone about what she saw. There wasn't time last episode but there certainly was time this episode, and good reason to as well.

I kind of understand Yo-Yo's reluctance though. Time loops are finicky things. For all she knows, coming clean to the team will just end up with them doing things to try to avoid the end result that will inevitably lead to it in the first place. The paradoxical nature of their situation is like navigating a minefield.

Yea, AoS is usually good for not falling into normal cliches of these kinds of shows where characters without information that is important for no real reason other than vague "i didn't want to hurt you" or something like that's reason.

I got confused by the Zima product placement and actually thought it was a smart subtle sign that they time traveled to the 90s instead of their own time.

I can live with her looking so ridiculously Disney Princess but still being deadly if she was made in a lab.

Was it really product placement? I thought we were supposed to laugh at the fact that he preferred the lightweight fruity drink that's usually for women because he had no experience with real beer or any social stigmas around it. But I guess you're right that they probably couldn't mention it by name if they were intentionally giving it a negative connotation. Still I like my interpretation better and I think that makes it funnier if Zima actually paid for that.

bbf2 posted:Was it really product placement? When the bartender set it down, he then turned the bottle so you could clearly see the label, while the camera was focused on it. That's blatant product placement. Seeing a neon sign for Zima on the bar wall while Deke is holding out his arm to pay is general product placement.

Why did no one pick up her arms when they were leaving? Surely you would've just thrown them on the trolley with the bomb?!

And how do you lose both arms as a speedster? after the first was chopped off you think you'd think twice about catching the disk again

We weren't shown, because there isn't really a way that makes sense. Even if it did make sense, they'd be cut off at the wrist or even fingers, not literally above the elbow.

Perhaps Yo-yo had her arms outstretched in front of her to push Mack out of the way and the disc was moving faster than she thought?

I assume she jumped in its path and it sliced through her arms as she had them outreached. But i don't know why the disc sliced through both her arms and didn't just keep going and get Mack. Maybe they lost momentum or something? Maybe the Disney girl has bad aim? I don't know the technology of it. Maybe YoYo pushed him out of the way? Luckily I don't really care.

Yo-Yo losing both arms is silly. She's not a traditional speedster, but we've seen what she sees when she does her thing and the world is frozen. The disk would have to be going faster than her to do what it did, but we could see it even when Yo-Yo was a blur. There is no logical way for it to have done what it did. Not based on what the scene showed us. I'm confused and I hope they have a good explanation on how Ruby / not-Sinara did that. It reminded me of the disk thing from Predator 2. Same sort of unstoppable cutting machine.

I think the writers might not have planned for what exactly cut off Yoyo's arms when they had Future Yoyo show up with no arms, and this was the best they could come up with.

Rocksicles posted:Thunderbolts, yeh pretty much. I'm down for Thunderbolts in a theoretically MCU integrated show. I'm also not too bothered by the practicality of how Yo-Yo got her arms sliced and diced, anytime super speed gets involved you just have to kind of accept that it's not being used at its peak power most of the time, and yo-yo at least has a built in weakness where she gets pulled back to where she started, so having that happen during the pullback seems like a fine enough excuse to me.

That doesn't really make any sense since they easily could have handwaved it away as something Kasius did. Which is what I was figuring anyway since YoYo had her arms in the other future flashbacks. It wasn't a question that needed answering. It was a dramatic choice to give consequence and establish the new villain, as well as something to push YoYo towards the "its all happening the same way" path and keep up her and Daisy's fears that they're just repeating history.

Are we supposed to believe that Fitz and Simmons are going to build real-looking robot replacement arms while hiding in a 45 year-old bunker with no outside help? It was unexpected and dramatic, for sure. I hope it was worth it.

Its entirely plausible that YoYo is wrong and this isn't what happened to Kasius' YoYo and that the future is already changing. We don't know. Maybe in that timeline YoYo doesn't lose her arms until after she's captured by Kasius. Maybe she lost her arms in the same place right here and she gets robot arms sometime before the Earth explodes and we see the flashbacks. Its time travel, who the gently caress knows? But I don't think they're "obligated" to do anything until after the Earth explodes. So YoYo could just spend the rest of the season armless and on the bench. Or she could get robot arms from FitzSimmons using 70s tech. Or maybe she just doesn't get arms becuase they're changing the future. Time travel.

Are we supposed to believe that Fitz and Simmons are going to build real-looking robot replacement arms while hiding in a 45 year-old bunker with no outside help? Several possible solutions to this one: a) Yoyo's wearing gloves and long sleeves in her flashbacks which could be covering a pair of prosthetic arms she received prior to the Kree arrival. b) They built a time machine in the bunker, building robot arms wouldn't necessarily be outside of their capabilities. Particularly as they've done something like it before. c) History has already changed.
