Kassius doesn't seem like he's really that perceptive.

Is there anything special about the Kree? They're just really strong and have some advanced tech? They don't seem like the brightest entities in the universe. Are they basically just alien muscle?

They used to be the top-dog super advanced species of the galaxy but they hit an evolutionary dead-end. That's what inhumans are all about, the Kree attempting to kickstart their own evolution again.

Only Coulson hasn't been abused in some way so far.
There was also the part in this last episode where the boss-guy told Mack "I literally own you" which... yeah.

When the emissary showed up and looked human-ish I thought they were going with the story line from a few years ago where the Inhumans ruled the Kree Empire, but I guess they were just Spartoi?

I think people are going to jump on you for saying this -- and yeah, she's not explicitly a sex slave, she's more a pretty ornament with bonus utility -- but yeah, it's weird and gross in universe while also being uncomfortable to watch. That, and Yoyo being tortured and May getting a pipe through her leg (i.e. most of the women getting abused) were a big sticking point with a friend who I watched the premier with. I wasn't personally affected, but I see his point.

Inevitably this is all set up to establish this universe as the darkest timeline so we'll be basically fine with it being erased, but it's still uncomfortable to watch.

(I'm enjoying the season though.)

Don't know if you know this but the pipe through May's leg was because Ming-Na Wen was recovering from knee surgery.

Was anyone else a little uncomfortable watching that girl get the poo poo beat out of her for a few scenes? Like I knew what was going to happen, but it was a little gnarly for my tastes.

If you want vampires in your Marvel, you'll have to look towards Sony. They're doing a Morbius movie for some reason.

Yes? What the hell are you expecting people to say here? 'No and I hope she has a seizure and that guy tears her head off?'

I feel like every point that's been brought up in a 'oh man, did anyone else hate when' manner has earned a pretty solid 'Yeah, that sucked.' I think they've all been great for a motivation standpoint so now Mack and Simmons have antagonists so when Grills gets thrown out an airlock and Kassius gets melted into a puddle it'll be even more cathartic.

:shrug: I dunno. I mean, they did it here, so I have an idea of what the issue is. I mean, sure, they could sit in a chair, stroking an alien cat for 14 episodes instead but, at this point, I'm really looking forward to Simmons making a Trawler+Kassius+Lighthouse sandwich.

This and Grills are supposed to make you uncomfortable, they are evil things done by the villains. Characters looking the other way is to remind you that this is the system. The opposition our heroes are up against has broken our humanity and normalised abuse and slavery.

So it's gonna be great when they are defeated.
