They're in space this time! Fridays at 9 EST

It's been so incredibly long since anything Marvel related aired on ABC that I guess we all forgot how to make threads. So here's the season 5 thread, a few weeks late.

Personally I'm looking forward to seeing how Fitz solves everything.

To be fair, the Inhumans thread I made was intended to cover all the ABC Marvel shows this season, but I don't fault anyone for wanting to leave everything that involved that show in the past...

"What makes you think I will help you?", Daisy asks smugly as she is held captive with a chip in her neck and limits her powers. Also Jemma is a prisoner. And Kasius can kill every human on the station but she probably doesn't know that because she ran off half cocked.

I'm glad Yo-yo knows what's up with this poo poo situation they are in but she's also there to keep Mack from spiraling.

I'm a girl, and you're

what? Yikes.
I'm really starting to get tired of the fact that everyone seems to have turned into some kind of extremely naive [non-binary] scout.

"Earth is destroyed, and all the survivors are enslaved and forced to work in miserable conditions collecting scrap metal. That's all fine and doesn't phase me, but I'm completely astounded the same people doing this might s-s-sell people too! Problematic." - Every character in the show

"I've been a special agent for years, I've no doubt shot countless Hydra mooks over the seasons and god knows what else, but are you saying I have to punch a guy? Literally the worst thing that's ever happened to me. I abhor violence!" *hides shotgun axe*

"Aliens have enslaved us, murder us and force us to murder each other on the reg, and are stripping our planet clean of any resources that might be left with zero consideration how it will effect us. But I'm left appalled and speechless that they would impinge on our sacred rights of natural reproduction and even use it as leverage over us! I'm beginning to think these Kree might need to read the Geneva conventions! Let's have a protest."

Yeah, that monolith really wasn't calibrated correctly. Everyone's brain is all hosed up now. I guess Yo-yo's not as bad since she exists on a higher frequency than everyone else though.

Okay, the Mack thing I'll give you, but I thought the baby thing was a perfectly good way to ratchet up the tension. Yes, whatever, aliens using humans as slave labor, it's terrible but it's mundane -- we've been doing it ourselves for literally thousands of years. Actually going so far as sterilizing the population and breeding a limited supply of babies to control them... that goes beyond anything that's ever existed in anything but science fiction. Interfering with a people's reproduction seems a lot more invasive and violating than just forcing them to work.

Just because he's used to violent situations doesn't mean he enjoys beating up people who are unarmed or weaker than him. Also the whole implication is that he's replacing Grill's shitheel enforcer that got chomped the other week.

I was glad of the reveal of TimeFitz as things were getting a little too grim and hopeless for a while there. The show's been somewhat lacking in levity recently.

This season has been a little nuts in terms of changing up your show's premise and setting, of which I am enjoying (dr who styled dystopian space future, sure why not), but the plot feels like its moving a tad too slow. I wish they had at least reached the surface in this episode instead of just talking about it. Hopefully next episode moves things along. And of course :swoon: Hunter!

I do like that they are continuing to touch and build upon the trauma of the Framework and are not brushing it aside as just last season's plot.

I like how the camera cuts off a split second before Daisy presumably gives a great "oh FFS" look when Fitz takes off the helmet.
