Especially if Daredevil and friends ends up being a success.

Except Netflix doesn't announce viewership numbers, so we'll never know just how successful they are. Though they might share the info internally to Disney, but up to this point they've kept that close to the vest with everyone.

The general public not knowing the metrics of success for a given show at Netflix has absolutely no effect on its actual success or how that effects their development strategy going forward...
No, I get that, but Netflix doesn't share their numbers with anyone. It's been a bone of contention between Netflix and programmers for a while now.

Honestly, I fully expected they were going to start this season doing escaped metahuman of the week plots. That they haven't is kind of blowing my mind.

Also, Reed Diamond is pretty good.

THe Kree would be thinking about it because they wanted to check in on their experiments maybe?
They also said the Kree was thousands of years old, so maybe it dates back to when they were loving around with the Inhumans?

I keep hearing this "the season ends before AoU" nonsense; do people think AoU is opening Memorial Day weekend rather than May 1, or later, or what? Unless ABC cuts the show's order, there will be at least three episodes airing after AOU is releases There were always going to be at least two; 22-episode TV seasons never end before mid-May, or at least, I can't recall the last time one did.

It depends on how many episodes they're showing before the holidays and Agent Carter. I guess they're doing a 10/12 split so the finale should be on May 17 I think?

I think the real problem was that they were serialized stories that didn't have a real endpoint. In the case of Galactica, I'm pretty sure Moore and Eick always knew how they wanted to end the show, but didn't know how many episodes they had to get there, until right before season 4. And the consensus on Lost was always that the show flailed until they agreed on that final three season deal. Nowadays I think show writers have a better sense of where the beginning, middle, and end of their stories are, and thus can make the serialized arc fit better.

Also, is it just me or did the show just kind of drop Deathlok completely? Did they ever tie up his plot and I just missed/don't remember it?

He's out there somewhere in the LA Underground. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire Deathlok.
