Over the summer the producers said the new Director was a character that went back to the '40s. More than likely he's The Patriot (Jeff Mace). And in the show he's probably a well known war hero that turned out to be activated later as an Inhuman.mikeraskol posted:So who were those people on the plane?

Spergatory posted:So who's Eli going to be? I'm pretty sure he's not going to be who he is in the comics, given that in the comics he's the Ghost in Robbie's Ghost Rider. Is he going to be some reinterpretation of a canonical villain or are they just going to go with "Evil Uncle Eli?" I'd imagine he's a new interpretation of Blackout. The powers of the Dark Force that's he's already displayed, plus his science background matchup pretty well. They've basically given the origin of the original to the Ghost Rider villain with that name. X-O fucked around with this message at 05:15 on Nov 2, 2016 |

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:Wasn't there already a guy called "Blackout" back in Season 1? He was the guy who went after Amy Acker's "Cellist" character. There have been two Blackouts in Marvel's history. The character you're talking about had the same real name name as the the original version from the comics but not really the same powers. His powers were based on the Darkforce but were different. There's also a Ghost Rider villain named Blackout that is a demon. Eli seems to have the powers of the original Blackout from the comic in that he can make matter and constructs out of Darkforce energy. Also it seems he may have the ability to manipulate or create portals to the Darkforce dimension based on the fact that Coulson and Fitz disappeared after getting zapped by the power during his transformation. Those were powers the original version had in the comics. So even though they used the name of the original in the comics and he was kind of related in a sense to the same thing this one seems to be basically taking his powerset. I doubt he'll be named Blackout but he's basically Blackout. In the comics Robbie Reyes is not a regular Ghost Rider (He's not a Spirit of Vengeance like Blaze, Ketch, Badalino) like it seems he is in the show. He's just a guy that's possessed by a criminal ghost name Eli Morrow. So it's not like they're not already just picking and choosing names and powers and throwing them into a blender already.

Start-stop scheduling is part of network TV. Just be glad it's a not a show that picks up immediately every episode with this schedule like the first few seasons of 24.

BrianWilly posted:The Netflix model certainly makes these breaks more noticeable, but AoS's schedule has been ridiculous even by network TV standards. We all watch other shows like Flash and Supergirl week in and week out without any major hitches in its release dates; sure, the winter break is coming up, but that's after nine or ten straight weeks of consistent episodes, capping off with a major mid-season crossover finale. By contrast Agents of SHIELD skipped a week after its second episode of the season. Then it practically takes a whole month off between 11/1 and 11/29. And then it'll probably take another break after two more episodes. That's egregious by any standards. You're comparing the network model and CW model. Even though CW does breaks too, they don't do them like a normal network. The schedule for this show has been pretty consistent with other network shows I've watched this season. The only reason it feels different this year is because there's no Agent Carter in the middle so that this show doesn't have to have the normal breaks other network shows have. This show had a one week break after the second episode because of the debate. Then had a three week break with one of those weeks being for an awards show and the other an election. That's not really that bad at all. X-O fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Nov 24, 2016 |

BrianWilly posted:Supergirl had the same schedule last year, when it was on CBS. How to Get Away With Murder had ten straight uninterrupted weeks too, just like it always does. Might want to look at Supergirl again. It came back from winter break for one episode and then immediately took a week off after being back for only one episode. That's the kind of wacky stuff that happens with network scheduling. Plus it was a slightly shorter season and because of other shows CBS had it ended a whole month before most broadcast shows did in May. How To Get Away With Murder is also a special case because it's a shorter run show.

The casting call for Inhumans is out. These are the characters listed [BRODERICK]Male. 30-40. Caucasian. Can say volumes with just a look. Strong, thoughtful and private, he’s unaccustomed to being questioned or feeling a need to answer to anyone, to an extent that can verge on arrogance. SERIES REGULAR, AEP. [MARJORIE]Female. 30-40. Caucasian. An elegant and intelligent advisor to her husband, she struggles to find her place outside of their relationship, as others tend to view her as just a pretty face. Strong and resourceful, she’s not afraid to break the rules when the situation demands it. SERIES REGULAR, AEP. [MARTY]Male. 30-40. Caucasian. Broderick’s younger brother; he is intelligent, charming and articulate. He comes across as a man of the people but secretly covets power. SERIES REGULAR, AEP. [KEVIN]Male. 30-40. Open. Slight of build, his mind is his greatest asset. Always prepared with a plan, his outlook on life is the glass is always half-empty and often cracked and dirty as well. Though his outlook can be grim he has a droll, dry sense of humor. SERIES REGULAR, AEP. [GRADY]Male. 25-35. Open. Impetuous and brash, he has serious impulse control issues which frequently get him into trouble whether its women, booze or fighting. He loves life and lives in the moment for better or worse. SERIES REGULAR, AEP. [CHRISTINE]Female. 18-25 to play 18. Caucasian. Soulful but still learning the ways of the world, she has the arrogance of youth. Impetuous and independent she is also deeply devoted to her family. SERIES REGULAR, AEP. [TIMOTHY]Male. 25-35. Open. SFXMU required. Supremely athletic. The ultimate picture of cool. He’s calm under pressure and willing to do anything to get the job done. In order those are clearly Black Bolt, Medusa, Maximus, Karnak, Gorgon, Crystal, and Triton. So basically all the Royals.

I think this season of Arrow is about on par with this show in storytelling, but this show has much better actors and much better production values. The other CW shows are mostly a joke at this point.

Then they killed him immediately so no need to watch further. That and Flash have such incomprehensible stories due to time travel bullshit that it's impossible to watch them and not think about how stupid they are.

Yeah sorry, I don't really care. When Flash introduced time travel I said in the thread right there it was a slippery slope and these writers weren't good enough to handle it and it's basically turned both shows completely unwatchable to me. Someone here recently told me to turn my brain off, but my brain doesn't turn that far off. Time travel ruined the shows and that's pretty much the gist of it.

DoctorWhat posted:if you ever care at all about the mechanics of time travel in any story, your brain is broken. stop caring about it, forever. all "rules" of fiction are fake. The mechanics of it aren't what bother me. It's the crutch of having it be a constant part of the show. And with those writers a terrible part. Time travel can be handled well. Really well in fact, 12 Monkeys and Travelers are current shows that are based entirely on it and they're great shows. The Flash writers are just really terrible at it.

Sentinel Red posted:Did anyone else find while watching it that notAida actually made Aida look less real somehow? It sounds weird to say and maybe it was just a location lighting thing but just comparing their faces something about Aida's complexion and expressions suddenly came off as actually looking artificial compared to her human inspiration. I think it just really showed how good the actress is doing with Aida since Agnes was much more full of life, you know until she died.

My impression was you don't get everything you want. I believe they said that your biggest regret is just wiped away. And after that the cards fall where the may. I mean if you got everything you wanted then Simmons wouldn't be in a grave. Also if you got everything you wanted there wouldn't be any danger in dying in the Framework because you wouldn't die.
