I would've much preferred them encountering a sudden pillar of fire and assuming Robbie was in it but then it turns out to be Spawn, as an April Fools joke.

CornHolio posted:You know, once they're out of the framework, things are going to be really awkward around the office for awhile. Yeah, because they're extremely poo poo at the 'accepting that things aren't real' part of this mission. I bet one of them's gonna hold a grudge against someone for actions in the Framework after they get out. AbstractNapper posted:This could make sense. But mainly it also brought up an issue that I did not pay much attention too. Skye and Simmons were both in the framework world and probably part of a scripted narrative that Aida created (perhaps after it was confirmed that they could not capture them and put them in the framework like Coulson et al), before the real ones hacked into and took their place -- I don't know why I missed this or chose to ignore it, because the show does not hide it. They were also both seemingly going to be eliminated according to that "narrative" (Simmons as a SHIELD agent was already shot and buried, and Skye as a "potential" inhuman would probably follow. Skye was fine for the most part because Ward was keeping an eye on her. That's the entire reason he's not a loyal HYDRA agent here. They'd (probably) kill her if they found out. STAC Goat posted:Yeah, everyone's been working with the assumption that Aida is fulfilling everyone's regret but I've never really accepted that because (a) Aida has no way of knowing their regrets, she just found out May's thing from Radcliffe and (b) that seems very complicated and Aida doesn't seem nearly that devoted to helping people, she just wanted to make May complicit and she's shown that getting them in the Framework is her sole meaningful "command". That was Radcliffe's original rationalization and since AIDA has no imagination she's just continuing that work. How things got flipped turned upside down like this though is beyond me. Metropolis posted:May must be woke, because how else would she know to bring Mack in to trick Daisy? Him not being on Hydra's radar in any way was mentioned several times in the episode. So I think that's a pretty big hint. May's been in it the longest. Her biggest regret (not saving the girl) turned into what might be an even bigger regret (saving the girl who caused the incident that let Hydra rise to power, and ultimately failing to save the girl since she just died a bit later). They came after Mack for that drone Hope foolishly decided to customize and disassemble into a hoverdrone of her own. She doesn't know who any of these people are, she's just using them because they're there and Skye's being so bizarrely friendly with them so they must be useful if utilized properly. Plus it makes sure that they toe the line in the future as well.

Blazing Ownager posted:SHIELD is a show I will use an example for years for how if you lose people in the first half of the first season, no matter how loving awesome you get after that, it will always be a struggle. Yeah that's how it goes. I'm a perfect example of that because I watched like five episodes of Supergirl and I can't work up the motivation to get back into it despite hearing that it largely improved. I mean...My god that Red Tornado outfit. Blazing Ownager posted:Hell I consider the 2nd season of Agent Carter to be a miracle it happened at all. That show.. I don't know why that show bombed. It was awesome and it started pretty good. I kind of look at Carter as a miniseries, you can absolutely watch it get most plots wrapped up satisfyingly. Though the whole "Can't have kids" thing they dropped with Jarvis's wife at the end will probably dangle forever, that's pretty drat minor. I think the reasons previously covered was that Carter was bizarrely restrictive in how you could watch episodes or something.

Andrew has been surprisingly absent so far. Did he get guillotined off screen for being an Inhuman or is he just doing something else and can't show up on the show?

Tad SG posted:Maybe he was killed as part of the incident in Cambridge, further explaining May's framework persona. STAC Goat posted:I want to say they made some passing mention of Andrew being an inhuman who was killed or something? Like just his name on some passing file or something. I may be totally wrong, though. Last time I remember hearing anything about him, May was talking to him on the phone right after saving the kid instead of killing her in the Framework, so I could buy either one.

I wonder how long the half-life on taking someone out of the Framework and them going crazy is. Also, watch Aida get herself a real body and immediately shut down the Framework and get everyone out because she suddenly has a conscience.

I'm glad I was right about Radcliffe playing the long game and only agreeing to help Fitz to get him out of the Framework. Also yeah, Daisy should've just said Mack didn't have a kid in the real world.

Anyone have a list of all these not SHIELD organizations?STAC Goat posted:I rewatched the end to be sure but I actually think we might be jumping the gun entirely on even assuming that they were taken up to space and that scene was the same Coulson in the diner. I don't really have any basis for it but my first thought when I saw it was that its a different Coulson who's been in space for awhile, for whatever reason, and that's the secret Ghost Rider knew. The deal is that Coulson has to tell Hulk that he didn't die first.

They don't find Ward, they find W.A.R.D. Also, I echo also wanting an extremely climatic final battle with Aida and Ghost Rider but seeing her get played like she did when Coulson's head burst into flames was also very cool.

Now if I want to watch it, it doesn't count as family time I mean, it's a good show but I would say maybe be 15 or older if you're gonna watch it I still can't get over corpse-coat Hive. Couldn't look at him, just made me horribly uncomfortable.

Darth Brooks posted:My wife decided to stop watching AOS because it was getting more violent. We have an impressionable toddler, so that's actually a concern. I had decided to keep watching because I didn't think it was more violent than it had been. Next episode was the one with Simmons stabbing the snot out of of Fitzbot. My son was sitting on my lap when the scene happened and I tried to rotate him away from the screen so he wouldn't see what really looked like a murder. He kept twisting his head to see and I kept rotating the chair so he couldn't. We went back and forth for the length of sequence and later I had to admit to her that the show was not kid safe. More violent?! First episode is Ward punching a guy unconscious through a utensil drawer. And then they're shooting everyone dead for like four episodes before they actually get ICErs. Seriously, it's a cool show if you're a teenager or older but it wasn't really a for-kids show from the beginning unless you're the kinda person who watched R-rated movies when you were like 11.

Phenotype posted:Eh, when I was a kid I feel like you saw people shooting guns and punching the bad guys in every TV show. It's kinda generalized violence and typically not very explicit or bloody, whereas a woman screaming and stabbing her boyfriend in the chest, or a very human-looking eye getting power drilled, are much more real, and I would definitely think the one could cause nightmares where the other wouldn't. I still think this isn't exactly toddler-friendly programming at the least.

Maxwell Lord posted:Gemma's transformation into the last person you ever wanna gently caress with has been one of the most satisfying arcs of the series. Getting stranded on an alien planet really made a badass out of her. It's not like she was going to stay spineless forever or something. With Fitz's brain problems, The HYDRA double agent poo poo, becoming a certified field operative, the alien planet stranding and finding herself buried alive suddenly, she was gonna improve no matter what happened.

Blazing Ownager posted:A far cry from the early days where I literally couldn't understand why they needed Fitz AND Simmons, it seemed utterly redundant and they did the same thing. Then again I also felt that way about Ward and May. And Skye was annoying.  Fitz was the tech guy and Simmons was basically the biologist/medic. And since they've known and worked in close proximity with each other for a while I couldn't say I was shocked that their fields of expertise ended up mixing together.Plus, it's based on comic books, where if you're a scientist or engineer of any kind then you're basically qualified to do everything ever, as opposed to the real version, where people very knowledgeable at one subject thinks that remains the same for every one of them.
