I'm going back and rewatching the Agents of Hydra stuff. That was, IMO, Agents of Shield at its absolute best. It's all really good but I think that was the peak right there.

Aida's whole arc was really some excellent writing. I think everybody's arc had excellent writing. I forgot just how brutal Fitz and Mack had it, for completely different reasons, in the framework. I wonder if we're going to have to watch OG Fitz deal with who he was in the Framework all over again.

Schoolteacher Coulson leads the group after Mace dies and goes on TV to expose Hydra for what they are and ends it with "I am Phil Coulson and I am an Agent of Shield.' It's so goddamn good. I hate that so many people I know won't watch it because the first season was slow and they gave up on it.

swickles posted:Didn't Kasius serve Xandarian Snail at his dinner/auction of Quake. Nobody has interfered with Fitz's timeline, right? So we can assume that until Jemma and Quake interfere, this is the path that somehow leads him back to Kasius in the future, right? So the Fitz we saw last season is this Fitz in the future.

I thought I heard somewhere that everything so far has been pre-snap. I don't know that I'm optimistic but they did call for two seasons at once, so they very well could finish this season with the snap and address it next season.

I thought a lot of the music and shots in that episode had a distinct Blade Runner feel to them. I thought it was a great episode and I'm really digging this season.

Usually you end up with stupid looking humanoids (Star Wars or Star Trek generally, hell Alein, Predator, etc) or something so hosed up that we can't identify with it (Life, Andromeda Strain).

Strom Cuzewon posted:Davis was out of shot for just long enough at the end there that I was certain he got Snapped. Then I remembered this wasn't the finale. I couldn't help but notice they said that Daisy and her team had been gone for five years, so five years happened between the end of last season and the beginning of this season. Is that their way of working around the snap?

Rocksicles posted:He's been a solid B-teamer since season 1. He deserved a glorious death. Has he been on the show that long? I kinda figure next season he'll still be around and when somebody asks him about it he'll just say he got better. Didn't he go up against AIDA solo and somehow, off-screen, survive?

I'm wondering this as well. I'm guessing years. It seems a lot has happened between when they ran off with Enoch and when they rescued everybody at the temple. It was kind of a Deus Ex Machina, but the best kind. The way she just casually strolls in there and "May won't die, you're all coming with me, this team will collect evidence, let's board this huge ship and go to the thirties, NBD"

I miss that era of Doctor Who though. Between Matt Smith, Arthur Darvill and Karen Gillan, they had some excellent acting that they really never got back. I keep meaning to get back into it, but I'll watch an episode and just not feel it...

I followed the show since the start but the latest season didn't grab me after the first four episodes so I dropped it. Really good. Not as good as season four, but definitely up there. It was a fun, wild ride.

I was just skimming over some choice parts of the past six seasons and man this has been consistently an awesome show. Season two and its "Science, beeyotch!" from Fitz, season three with Jemma falling in love with a dude on a distant planet and Fitz going there to save him (and being forced to by Ward...) and Coulson's jump from a plane straight into the portal right before it closes, Aida being awesome, the entire team except for Jemma and Daisy being replaced by LMDs and them suddenly realizing it (and robo-May sacrificing herself so they could escape), Agents of Hydra and Ward being a good guy, Talbot "fixing" things and eating all the gravitonium, Jemma and Fitz getting married only for him to die, Kitson, the crazy dream episode inside Fitz and Simmons heads where Fitz catches up on everything he's missed... It's one of the few shows I could rewatch every episode forever and never get tired of it. We didn't deserve such a good show. Also, I'm glad all six seasons are on Netflix.

Slashrat posted:Coulson binged all of both season 5 and 6 in his mind in 2 minutes, yeah Reminds me of when Fitz had to catch up with all of season five in the span of a couple of minutes. Him dying, finding out he got married, then Coulson dying... I don't think he even noticed Yoyo's hands. I rememeber Jemma is trying to cheer him up by telling him "there was a lot of death, yes, but there was also beauty!" and Fitz is all "what, more death than this?" just as Coulson walks in. It really made me realize how dark season five really was.

Surprising, too, since the last few seasons have been varying degrees of disappointing. Yeah I'm gonna disagree, I still think 4 is my favorite but going back and rewatching bits of 5 and six, they were absolutely amazing.

I'm expecting them to somehow save Coulson from dying in the first Avengers movie, thus preventing him from going through TAHITI and preventing this group from forming. It could pretty easily be done, just divert a younger Coulson elsewhere so he isn't on that ship or something.

Suppose they let real Coulson die in the Avengers, and TAHITI is just the LMD Coulson taking his place, so it's been LMD Coulson all along, living a loop.

It's especially great when you realize Daisy had to convince everybody that they were in a time loop, and she had to explain this many, many times. She probably had her spiel memorized and fully efficient by the time she was done. GUYS, BLAH BLAH TIME LOOP, BLAH BLAH HERE'S PROOF, OK NOW FOLLOW MY VERY EXPLICIT INSTRUCTIONS.

I'd also like to note, I really like the change in tone after Daisy realizes that Enoch has to be sacrificed. The somber music, how calm she is as she tells everybody that things are going to be alright and to meet in the LMD control room, her accepting reaction to Deke saying they were less than one kilometer away... that gets me more than Enoch actually dying. It's some great acting and some great directing (is this Jemma's directing debut??? She has a future ahead of her.) and really conveys the gravity of what's happening.

So watching it again... did the team plan on Daisy suiciding herself? They kinda left her there, saying she has to play her part... seems they got kinda lucky that she wasn't obliterated in the explosion.

Azhais posted:The thing that really bugged me the most about the whole season is why Sybil didn't just go back to like 1992 and steal the black and gray monoliths from the lighthouse. Yeah she ended up being a lot less powerful than I would have thought. I originally thought she was essentially an omnipresent being that existed out of time and could see all things past and all future possibilites, kind of like Chronicom Muad'Dib. Even then when I found out she was just reading a piece of tech to determine the likelihood of possible outcomes, she should have been nearly impossible to beat because with every piece of additional information she has, it should adjust things accordingly and she should have always been able to be one step ahead of her enemies. Like, she should have been able to expect how Cora turned and how Malick was going to turn out. I guess in the end she got chumped by hubris. Still enjoyed it, but Sibyl/Malick/Cora were quite a bit lamer than most of the previous villians they have faced.
