This season is so good! Also, since Endgame ruined the Sousa/Carter relationship, I am all for Sousa/Daisy

I don't really see age being an issue between Daisy and Sousa, since they never made it a thing about it anyway. Sousa likes Daisy because she shares the same badass qualities he saw in Peggy, and Daisy likes that he supports her because of those qualities. Age between two consenting adults is only ever an issue if either of them only have a thing for younger/older people, that's it. Also, what is this ship being called? Sousy? Doozy?

From wikipedia he's got two TV shows and a short-film out this year. Yeah and it also seemed that them filming 7 right after 6 caused conflicts. He will be in the show, but probably not until the last few episodes.

OB_Juan posted:Eh, maybe Coulson could work in the movies. It would be fun to see Mack and Yo-Yo show up in a movie, but explaining the Shotgun Axe might be a big ask for a side character. It would? "It's a shotgun-axe. Started as a joke but I actually like it."

It wouldn't be hard to transition any of the characters from the show back into the movies. Either do a new SHIELD movie starring Samuel L. Jackson, or another movie similar to Winter Soldier where SHIELD heavily figures into the plot. Just have a brief intro for Daisy and what she's all about, and explain that Coulson's still dead but he's a robot now. I don't really see them wanting to transition the rest of the supporting cast into the movies though, except possibly May. There are already a ton of supporting characters to keep track of.

I don't think any of the characters are unable to fit in any MCU movie. Coulson coming back in Thor 4 would be solid, because you can do some closure on Thor's guilt for letting him die the first time.

I don't want them in the movies because they'll be used as cannon fodder... or hey, that means they can use Davis and just have him keep coming back and letting the audience just narrowly miss the story of how he escaped Galactus eating a planet.

I don't think they'd be cannon fodder. Chloe Bennet is exactly who you want to have involved in things. I can see her in moves or a Disney+ series continuing on with Quake. Clark Gregg was already cannon fodder and that didn't stick. Ming Na is a good name. Outside of them I could see FitzSimmons getting cameos or being brought back for a larger role if someone wanted.

It's especially great when you realize Daisy had to convince everybody that they were in a time loop, and she had to explain this many, many times. She probably had her spiel memorized and fully efficient by the time she was done. GUYS, BLAH BLAH TIME LOOP, BLAH BLAH HERE'S PROOF, OK NOW FOLLOW MY VERY EXPLICIT INSTRUCTIONS.

I don't think she had to do much convincing at all, really. The few people she told took it in stride, and at the end all she had to do was say "trust me" and everyone stopped and let her take over. Jemma probably just needed an extra jolt of phlebotinum to convince her that removing the implant was necessary.

Which was cute, because that's a term the Buffy writer's room used for a magical whatever device that served a plot purpose and since the Buffy writers spread out to all the other writing rooms, the term is pretty popular now. ::Shh:: Half this show's writers are Buffy / Angel writers, including the guy who wrote this ep.

I think I said so in this thread, but my mom has been binging the show while my step dad recovers from heart surgery. I was visiting over the weekend and she just finished season 6. She should catch up by next week, but cant wait for her to get to the moat recent episode. She is a sci fi novice so any trope will blow her mind, and a time loop and Enoch death is gonna send her.

I'd also like to note, I really like the change in tone after Daisy realizes that Enoch has to be sacrificed. The somber music, how calm she is as she tells everybody that things are going to be alright and to meet in the LMD control room, her accepting reaction to Deke saying they were less than one kilometer away... that gets me more than Enoch actually dying. It's some great acting and some great directing (is this Jemma's directing debut??? She has a future ahead of her.) and really conveys the gravity of what's happening.

The interesting thing is that I believe due to time shenanigans, Malick has had the quake powers longer than Daisy (he's at around 10 years, she's closer to maybe 5?). Might complicate things in a fight, though obviously I would love it if she just annihilates him immediately.

This episode was Elizabeth Henstridge's first directing credit, yes. Really impressive, especially for a first timer. Though I felt like the editing was even more impressive. The way the episode was cut must have taken a lot of work, and a lot of takes to sort through. Imagine as an editor sorting through multiple takes of the same scenes that also take place in a specific chronological order. Of course there are markers for that, but if you find a take from a later scene that works better earlier, it must be overwhelming to keep track of it.

Yeah, but with the next ending the final scene would just be Fitz saying "I made a mistake", reversing time, and walking over the the s1e1 storyboard to make a minor change before starting the whole thing over

Next was based on a short story from Philip K Dick and the story is actually pretty interesting. It takes place in a future where humanity keeps mutating due to a massive nuclear war and the government rounds up mutants. The main mutant of the story (which is technically Cage's character from Next) is described as an incredibly handsome golden man who doesn't talk but has the ability to see the future. When government scientists bring him in to study they discover that he isn't actually sapient and instead just reacts to external stimulus using his future sight to keep surviving. The story ends with him escaping from the government and some scientists musing about how his mutation will replace humanity because of how he's much better at surviving than baseline people.
