Prediction for the Carter finale: they get a new boss, he calls the team in for a mission, tells Carter to go get them coffee. Thompson and Souza are 'Actually, New Chief, we'd like Carter on this one too'.

VDay posted:Sorry if this got asked and I missed it but what was the big silver flashlight/radar gun looking thing that Stark picked up in the lab and said "this is fine here" about? They highlighted it in the last episode as well IIRC and I got the feeling that it's some important or dumb thing/joke/shout-out from the comics, but I forgot to look it up after the episode last week. I think it was just a joke. It was lying on its right side and he put it down on its left to make it safe and acted like the SSR people were idiots for not knowing that.

BatteredFeltFedora posted:Serious question: Aside from Project Rebirth, which piggybacked off of Erskine's research, what have we seen Howard Stark build that actually worked as intended? Seems like everything either breaks in short order or has a ludicrously dangerous side effect. The original larger Arc Reactor? Though he couldn't make it economic in the70s. Nitramene did exactly what it was intended to. Kablooey. Given his immense fortune and the respect his skills are accorded, I assume he's created a shitload of things that we've just never seen because they work.

Other reactions; everyone keeps wonking on about how much they all care about Skye and I think I'm meant to be reading romantic tension between her and Ward but every time people go nuts over her getting threatened it just feels as if the team's getting angry because someone hurt the brain-damaged cat they keep around as a derpy mascot and have all gotten fond of.

Also, was the chronology of the end of SHIELD totally hosed up? It was like four or five days after Hydra surfaced and Maria was employed by Stark and bitching about congressional committees like she'd been seeing them for months.

Finally caught up! Honestly, they made a mistake calling it a city and showing the big holograms. They should've called it straight up a 'temple' or 'labyrinth' or something along those lines and described it as just tunnels, so we weren't built up to expect something more. I don't really care that much what Bobbi and Mack are up to as long as it doesn't get in the way of Mack and Fitz being bros. You hear me, Marvel? Although speaking of that, I always thought it was weird that they brought in the obscure Alphonso Mackenzie from the comics but that they had no similarities between the comic and show characters besides the name - so maybe he'll be CIA like he was in the comics. I can't see any other reason they'd have used an existing name. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 14:08 on Mar 8, 2015 |

notthegoatseguy posted:Lots of characters in the MCU bear little to no resemblance to their comic counterparts, or in the case of characters that have existed for decades, might be a combination of characters from different comic timelines. Daisy in AOS is at least partially Inhuman and had to go through that process for her powers to activate. In the comics she is born with her powers though strangely doesn't have an X gene. I know, but there's usually at least one element of commonality. Daisy has earthquake powers, for example. And a dad named Cal who you wouldn't like when he gets angry.

Xandarians are a species that look basically human, eye colours excepted. The Nova Empire has as bunch of aliens, although Xandarians and Krylorians (the pink people) are the most common. Xandar the planet is pretty cosmopolitan and it's common to see all sorts of species because it's the capital of the empire (and thus sometimes 'Xandar' is used to refer to the empire rather than 'Nova') The Broker guy you linked is presumably one of those aliens and just considers Xandar his home. Basically? Immigration. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Mar 8, 2015 |

I still reckon that Bobbi and Mack are CIA operatives, like Mack was in his comic character. They're definitely not Talbot because he clearly didn't know that much early on when Mack had already joined, but the way they talk makes them sounds like they're some kind of authority and consider themselves on the side of good.

NowonSA posted:Hopefully the Bobbi and Mack mystery will be resolved within the next two episodes, I don't mind it being a thing but it's about time we find out what's up. I do think them working for Stark makes the most sense, and that Fury's magic box is somehow vital to the implementation of the Ultron program, so they steal it or manage to copy it and get it to Stark. I don't think they'll have whatever Age of Ultron tie-in they have planned come out of nowhere, after all. Given what happened with Hunter I assume there's no chance we won't find out next week. Plus the show seems to be keeping things moving at a pretty solid clip lately.

I hope next time Sif comes back for a couple of episodes in a row, hangs out with the team for a small storyline rather than dropping in and out.Stabbey_the_Clown posted:I think that in this situation, Coulson's preference was to avoid atomizing Lady Sif and the friendly-ish Kree.

So my thoughts on how the Inhumans plot will proceed; I think that the society of inhuman people we're seeing has nothing to do with Attilan. That it just formed out of Inhumans that found each other and began to support each other. I think that they'll proceed as though that's the only Inhuman society that's around, then when 2018 rolls around, the Inhumans movie will unveil this entire seperated-from-the-world Attilan city and Royal Family and they'll be able to reconcile it with Agents of SHIELD just by saying 'SHIELD was aware of individuals out there with abilities like this, but we have no idea anything like this existed!'

Blazing Ownager posted:.... you did see the flashback which showed the Inhumans being changed, and training, at Attilan right? LOCATION:UNKNOWN, if I recall correctly. It was three people in a bunker. I agree that Skye's mother was part of some kind of inhuman society, but I don't know that it's the Attilan society or some entirely separate group of inhumans. I reckon that they'll go with the idea of Attilan having cut itself off from humanity thousand years ago or so and won't come back in contact until the 2018 movie, and the society of inhumans that we're dealing with now are a separate set of inhumans who arose within mainline humanity and found each other. It lets them keep the storyline for the movie neat whilst still having inhumans on the show. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 11:19 on Mar 12, 2015 |

Dan Didio posted:Her not being a spy and having something unique about her was the premise of the character, and in large parts, the show, though. It certainly didn't make her some faultless Mary Sue, given the very obvious flaws you've just pointed out. It was possible to be not a spy and still not dumb so often about spycraft, though. The Mary Sue-ness was more in the way Coulson treated her. (And her stupid TV hacking that would keep getting mentioned even when it didn't fit the plot that well or got shoehorned in) Although come to think of it, maybe his insistence on her being 'special' was Kree genetic memory recognising an Inhuman on some subconscious level.

If you were gonna change the lead Doll character on Dollhouse, make it Victor. Enver Gjokaj's acting was astonishing. He's be almost unrecognisable as a different personality despite being physically identical. I hope Carter gives him something more to do next season.
