That's pretty much the case from what Whedon's been saying; how does the team cope with the fact that there is actual loving magic, that's not just the old "any technology sufficiently advanced enough blah blah blah".

:sigh: It's me. I'm the unfun jerk who hates when shows go "sufficiently advanced technology" for several seasons then pull a switcheroo and go "lol now here's magic".

These are some weird ghosts. They can become tangible whenever they want. It'll probably be explained/it probably has to do with the Darkhold changing them, but it's just wierd.

They pretty clearly seem to be Science Ghosts who are that way because of a Whacky Comic Book Science Whoopsie.

I can't recall - is James the first explicit confirmation that inhumans are immune to their own powers? If so, seems they really are making them their defacto mutants.

It might be on a case by case basis, because Daisy is explicitly NOT immune to her own power.

That's wrong. They are science ghosts.

If they were just regular ghosts no different than any other ghosts, that means that there would be a lot of ghosts around stretching back centuries or millennia. Robbie Reyes would be seeing a LOT of ghosts around, all the time. Instead we had what, four to six ghosts, all of which share a common origin, the strange scientific experiment. They were contained inside containers which are not empty, but have strange components. Fitz cannot understand how those work at the moment, but he can detect them. These ghosts are visible on electronic cameras and to the naked eye by regular people and can communicate with regular people. These ghosts can inflict psychosis on contact, which can be cured with a chemical created using science. The motives of these ghosts are not to haunt the living or places where they died or even really to get revenge, but to find a way to reverse their condition.

Sufficiently analyzed magic is indistinguishable from science!

Wasn't there already a guy called "Blackout" back in Season 1? He was the guy who went after Amy Acker's "Cellist" character.
