I still think the poster that said Kreel was going to be the one to make contact with the gravitonium is still spot on.

They even mention how the accelerator they are looking for can.. dun dun dun.. create someone just like Kreel. Isn't that how he got his powers in the first place?

He's such an obvious choice over either Daisy or Murder Barbie (I still can't remember her name).

I thought the implication was that Creel was a more or less successful trial subject.

Tomorrow?
So I was going to rewatch some old episodes on account of having the flu again, and I'm on episode 8.

In the flashback where May and Yo-yo argue while Robin is talking about Flint, Yo-Yo's arms are fully covered, particularly her hands have the rubber/leather gloves similar to Coulson's early prosthetics.

Also, when May says to remember who they are, Yo-Yo says something along the lines of "What happened to SHIELD? We don't even call ourselves that anymore."

So even in flashbacks to the original future, Yo-Yo may have prosthetic arms, and they're possibly teamed up with Hale Hydra, which means they haven't changed anything yet.

Everything will follow the plot of the flashbacks until the last episode or two. That's when things will change.

That's interesting. I don't remember seeing any dogs (or other animals) around in the future, alien cockroaches aside.
Maybe he killed all the dogs, not just some.

Sitwell, who was murdered about 2 seconds after being outed as Hydra.

I was rewatching some S1 episodes and it's amazing how much the show has evolved from there and the characters have grown

Can you picture Cassisus being the sort to want to eat a dog?

Make them into a coat like a Disney villain, sure. Maybe ship some off world to sell for meager profits as alien curiosities. But to a guy like that it'd probably be like an ambassador eating rat from a 3rd world country.

It does actually.

Also, since I'm not caught up on the thread, I must have missed the discussion. The Corporation guy shrouded in the shadows seems really familiar. When I watched the last episode, it kinda looked like the messenger guy that gets punted into the well in 300. Peter Mensah?

If a man and a dog have a fight where both would die in a lethal stalemate, is it moraly correct to kill the dog to save the human? Consider the fact that the dog would have dies either way. Unless you Had killed the human.

Now what would be the correct choice of you'd replace the dog with something else, like a human?

The value of a neutral human's life is greater than that of a neutral dog's.

A good doggo, of course, outranks an evil person, though that's not the same thing as all dogs are unconditionally better than all humans.

The way some people phrase it it implies they value a dog's life far above that of a stranger's, and that kind of hyperbole is incredibly frightening to me.

My grandmother used to love to tell a story about how when I was an infant I'd always reach out of my stroller to dogs every time until one snapped at me and then I stopped.

So clearly we're all just divided between people who suffered their first unspeakable and undeserved trauma at the hands of humans or dogs.

And the people who delude themselves into thinking their cats aren't plotting ways to kill them
