What I am saying is only pay enough attention to the ratings insofar as to understand that they can be bad and this show can still escape cancellation if only just.

Agent Carter had good Live+3 numbers too

So Daisy is totally turning her powers in on herself either consciously or unconsciously, right? As part of some self-penance thing? Because she didn't have any problems last season when she was confident in what was going on.

I'm guessing the writers are using it as a way to keep her from solving every problem with her powers.

and or they forgot about last season stuff.

spoilers: AoS doesn't get referenced in Luke Cage. They don't even mention the Sokovia accords and how this bulletproof man might be an Inhuman or powered person who needs to get registered. TV really is the redheaded stepchild of the MCU that must never be brought up.

I don't know if that's exactly the case in this...case...and more that the Luke Cage showrunners were just doing their own thing without paying that much attention to AoS or Civil War. They did bring up Hammer Industries a lot and referenced DD and JJ.

Seems to be Movies > Netflix > AoS where you can reference things above you but never below.

It didn't seem like an actual EMP device, seeing as power came back on when they shut it down. Just pretend it was a city wide electronic shutter downer device because comics.

but regardless, thousands of people probably died

lol Simmons. I can't believe you didn't tell everything so I could fail the lie detector test. Interesting that Simmons calls Aida an it while Fitz calls it a she. He's going to gently caress that robot :roboluv:.

I wish they would give Daisy something to do besides mope. Get your poo poo together. Even Fitz could do it.

It wasn't, exactly, however.

What she said wasn't "If you put me in the chair, I will tell them about you" it was "If you put them in the chair, I won't be able to lie about what I now know about you."

Thus it's not really blackmail. She'd not saying she's blow him on purpose, she's saying she'd blow him in unwillingly if she's put in that position, same as she was about to gently caress up for Fitz. She did it for her own reasons, but it's not really untrue, either.

Yea that's still blackmail

Presumably they'll do another Marvel show after SHIELD is over, right? I remember some talk about the Runaways. I think that'd work better, it wouldn't be tied into the movies as much.

They tried another Marvel show but Agent Carter was even more of a failure.

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of this season so far. Last season hit the ground running. But this one feels more like it's continuously trying to set up something without much happening. Maybe I just don't like broody ghost stories.

Will there be a Doctor Strange tie-in? I don't want to be spoilered for the movie. If the following episode has a spoiling substory, it might actually be good to have a 3 week gap between episodes.

Maybe the ghost poo poo will be resolved soon so something interesting can happen.

I wonder what the implications are for Agents though. Does this mean we might get movie tie-ins again, maybe another guest from the movies, like Cobie Smulders or Samuel L. Jackson coming on the show?

I'm sure there will be exactly the same amount of movie tie-ins as there have been so far for AoS. And wouldn't they use that money / starpower for the Inhumans show?

I like that Dr. Radcliffe was like "oh gently caress this poo poo" and closed the darkhold immediately. He may be amoral, but he's not stupid.

I wonder what is Aida making with her spooky evil magic powers. I'm disappointed that Coulson didn't push for her to be rebooted immediately especially since they all know how dangerous the darkhold is.

I think the more interesting play would be...he did. And they did reboot her. And it didn't help.

I doubt that is the case but it would be cool!

Weren't they also complaining that there were so few crystals left? I bet that they didn't know because they would have diluted a few of them to ensure they had enough to turn everyone forever.

counterfeitsaint posted:

The whole not-Shangri-la plotline had a bunch of inconsistencies. One of the characters specifically has a line saying they've tried and couldn't figure out how to separate the death metal (:black101:) from the crystals. They also constantly complain about how there's not enough crystals. Apparently both of these problems can be solved by dropping them in water.

This confirms that their inhuman splinter group was a bunch of retards

Amoral in the sense that he would go to the underground and black market to advance his research, but he was never outright malicious or evil.

SHIELD reached out to him because they saw good in him. They kept him on after Hive because they saw good in him. They were right, too. He saved the lives of half the team thanks to his work, and doing stupid things and going out of bounds and being ethically dubious is what SHIELD is all about.

He's a good dude. I don't want the show to write him off as evil and kill him just because of the same poo poo that almost everyone else on the team has dealt with. He's not Ward for crying out loud.

He's basically Wernher von Braun.

He will work for anyone that will let him advance his goals to science stuff. He's not a moustache twirling saturday morning cartoon villain, but he's definitely not a good person.
