Those early episodes are extremely important which is why I'm still pissed that the pacing was absolute poo poo. They were stuck stuck in a holding pattern for Cap2. Why didn't they hold back the Premier then? Ten episodes of tracking Garrett would have been fantastic if they could have pushed it later into May-June.

His dad is James Bond, there's all sorts of crazy sci-fi tropes flying around (the current one is he mind-wiped himself), tons of Firefly references, giant gov't conspiracies, etc. It's gone from a semi-serious procedural to a vehicle for Nathan Fillion to do whatever the gently caress he wants. In short,

Wait...What! How why when? The gently caress? I stopped watching it a few years ago even with my totally healthy Stana Katic fixation. It's become entertaining again?

gently caress are you talking about, Twin Peaks is one of the most notable cultural cornerstones of the 90s. Agents of SHIELD would not exist today if it weren't for Twin Peaks basically reinventing television at the time, and it is coming back in a big way.

Maybe the TV Universe is actually a real part of the MCU rather than a sideshow like you've been implying then? (Implication coming from the tone of your posts. I don't think you've actually used the word 'sideshow' much like the show has not used the word 'Inhuman')

That overarching fear was pretty much what the Cold War was all about. It was a nebulous sense of dread of 'us' versus 'them'. I'm in my 50s and I clearly remember the 'enemy' being a faceless entity.

Really? Maybe it's me growing up in the Cold War that I see all the paranoia from my childhood. My next door neighbors had a fallout shelter in their backyard and I remember them showing it to my family when I was like five. It freaked me out that there was some group that wanted to kill us all.

Does ABC pay you to stay alive? I mean an entire series costing millions of dollars to please one person seems like a pretty risky business practice, so I am guessing they have invested quite a bit in you at this point.

Well gee, I don't think so? It would be awfully nice of them if they did, but I wasn't the only person born my year (or the year before or the year after) I imagine. I'm also pretty certain I'm not the only one that watches TV from my generation. I may also not be the only person that understands Cold War politics from my generation or even the generations after mine.

But it isn't really translating onto the screen, is the problem. Leviathan is the big bad of the arc, but we've seen relatively little from them.

It was/is translating to the screen. You just couldn't see it for some reason. Why? I don't know, maybe personal experience, but it was very clear to me.

I've been tired of the Bobbi/Mack secret for awhile. They definitely know how to keep up the pace on plot threads given they already outed Skye one episode after Fitz tried to keep it a secret. I realize they can't do that for everything, but for Christ's sake, either make the slow build subtle or give it some actual meat beyond "Bobbi and Mack whisper secretively about their super secret for the fifth time".

Dushku's one of those people who should be typecast, because she's very good at playing a particular type of role (Faith, basically), and really, really bad at everything else. Being cast to display the kind of range demanded by a doll in Dollhouse was a mistake, and ~~Enver Gjokaj and Dichen Lachman (to a lesser extent)~~ everybody being awesome made her look even worse.

Questions about tonight's episode:

- How much of a bro will Fitz be?
- Will the power use = slow-mo streak continue for Skye Mary Sue "Daisy Johnson" Zabo-Poots?
- How much poo poo will the Mua'dad gently caress up with his Frankenstein Parade?
- Will Mack a/o Bobbi be successful in their caper? Will Bobbi end up last-minute switching sides back to SHIELD?
- How angry is Hunter going to be when he wakes up?
- How will Simmons cope with Mary Sue Skye "Daisy" Johnson-Zabo Poots' newfound alien lineage?
- Is Ward more or less dead than the dog? Will either return to the show anytime soon?
- How much of a bro will Fitz be?

Confused? You won't be after this episode of...S.H.I.E.L.D!
