How many more episodes do we get before winter hiatus (and Agent Carter yaaaay)?

We have 9 more episodes left, then Agent Carter happens in January. Then the final 13 episodes come after that.

You know, Agent Poots got the alien juice as well, I wonder why she's not going crazy and why Coulson doesn't seem concerned putting her on the job to study the writing.

Because of her lineage.

It's kind of a moot point however, as neither Mutants nor Spider-Man exist in the MCU... for now anyway. Who knows what kind of inter-studio hankey pankey Disney's concocting for the Phase 3 MCU.

Considering they managed to negotiate & purchase the rights to show the Oscorp Tower in Avengers*, I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to get Spidey into Civil War somehow...

*By the time the negotiations & purchase was done, the CGI work for NYC was finsihed, and they didn't have time to go back and add it. :(

Or maybe it could be just what Agent Blake said in "Fzzt" - Coulson's personality has changed a bit since his death. She never said that she saw anything different with Coulson via X-ray, just that he'd changed.

It's probably the right response, leaks are functionally impossible to plug once they are in the wild. They might toss some extra stinger footage on the AoS release to keep ABC happy.

My understanding is that what we're supposed to get Tuesday will show all of the characters. Vision is missing from this, and the one on io9...

Also, I think Marvel's initial reaction on Twitter was great:

People keep saying this, and I have no idea why. Has he ever mimicked someone's skills at any point? Or is there more to Taskmaster than that?

People are trying to force existing characters into the show. Ward will never be Taskmaster. Skyedad will never be Mr. Hyde. Skye won't be... whoever they were trying to say.

They're pretty much their own characters. For the most part, Powered People will only show up as cameoes/guests. They won't be Full Time Cast Members.

Hydra was in place from the start of AoS simply under a pseudonym before the Winter Solider reveal. Why can't Skye and dad be aliens who's real origins aren't explored until the Inhuman movie?

The team will think Skyedad is Asguardian (maybe Kree), and he won't tell them they're wrong. They might think Skye is half-Asguardian (-Kree). They'll discover later that they're Inhumans.

It looks to me he became crazy because of what he need to do instead of doing what he does because he is crazy.

Yeah, they planned it from the start. Brett Ward gave an interview after the episode with his HYDRA reveal aired. He said he was told to talk to the writers while they were shooting an episode, and he delayed it as long as he could, because he was thinking, "This is a Whedon show. Characters get killed off on Whedon shows. I guess it's my turn.".

When he finally went to talk to them, he was very surprised about the change they had planned, and loved it. And, of course, that it had to be kept secret until after TWS.

The show has been ticking up the last few episodes but this episode was up almost several hundred thousand viewers from last. (5.30 million vs 4.58 million) I'm happy to see the show firing on all cylinders is bringing people back. Or if it's not that then whatever it is.

I think a part of it is that Season 1 is now on Netflix, so a lot of people were able to bing watch, and then just decided to tune in and see how the new seaons compared.

IIRC, this is the first episode to air since Season 1 showed up on Netflix...

Nice new thread title!


Also, I've been sick all week, and while attempting to sleep last night, my mind kept wandering back to the question someone asked earlier in the thread: How are they going to get away from the HYDRA planes that just got the order to shoot them down?

My brain said that May will turn off the engines, making the S.H.I.E.L.D. plane plummet, and then she'll pull a Han Solo, and fly out of there in a fancy Millennium Falcon maneuver.
