Same here. The space stuff seems interesting and consequential. So far, the time spent on Earth felt like a show we've probably already seen.

And I am REALLY not into relationship drama with Yo Yo and random agent.

I liked the snails were from Xandar.

Space Fitz is certainly the most interesting part of the show, but the Not Coulson stuff was way more interesting now. Was the birbs flying around in the memory the same ones that came through in the first episode?

Doctor Scotch is my favorite character on the show.

That's honestly the only way to do Galactus in a live-action movie and not look ridiculous. Giant purple fork helmet guy just doesn't work.

Marvel would be able to make that work. But I think its really clever to have something that is easily seen as just a standard portal thing could be the actual thing that is the driver of the plot.

Chloe Bennet does a fun Johnny Depp impression.

That was great, i loved that like Ragnarok, the space stuff has a synth track, though it was more Mass Effect than Mothersbaugh. Simmons and Daisy bonding though was pretty drat good.

God drat Agent Khan brings the .50 cals to the gun show.

*looks at the weights sitting under his chair* aaah...my carpel tunnel you see.

Okay, I'm on board with the Earth stuff now. Space Stuff is still better, but not by much. Glad they finally caught someone so maybe they can get an exposition dump.

Also this show has never been afraid to get super gross, but drat Agent Deathmark's crystal death was certainly up there.

Mack's reaction to the Framework Daisy was so loving great.

It was like when your friend is using your computer and accidentally starts up the last porn you were looking at.

I was actually thinking this. Like there's always an Ian Quinn, a famous billionaire with visionary tech diverting money to Secret Schemes

Just let Deke do that for SHIELD! He can have facilities all over the place, and all sorts of silliness.

Also I love Trevor Khan, Agent of SHIELD, he is my favorite

In Men in Black, K explains MIB holds the patent for velcro and cds and a bunch of other common (at the time) items that pays for everything. SHIELD probably has something like that. They created Bluetooth. It's not named after Harad Bluetooth, but after a Kree they found. The Danish thing is a red herring.

This show has always been great about the way the characters handle drama. My favorite example is when evil Ward was still in love with Daisy and how other shows would probably have had Daisy struggle with that. But the first chance she gets she just shoots him. Because he betrayed them all and she hated him.

If this had been a CW Show Daisy would be "I Know Ward is dead and his body is being hosted to the parasite that founded Hydra, but I think there's still good in him! So instead of taking opportunities to otherwise remove his threat, I will constantly try to talk to them and give them time to escape, call in help, or set off their trap."

May already took him down by herself so that one's not surprising. I'm just waiting for his second power up, unless them corralling the two Shrike together failing catastrophically was the whole plan and Jaco trying to break free was just a red herring.

Sarge probably has seen people like SHIELD before that think they can save the infected, and knew they'd put them together, so he used that as a backup. He's certainly written as a "hard man, making hard decisions, thinks everyone else is too soft to do whats needed to do" kind of character.

Yeah, they might do a switcheroo where May is possessed and the pilot is fine but I'm betting more money in that she just killed Sarge on her own volition.

Sarge has shown he is way too quick to sacrifice people, completely amoral outside of "the mission" and its goals. Plus he straight up directly responsible for the deaths of a bunch of SHIELD agents.

Chloe's purple highlights put her on another level of "holy crap."

Does anyone else follow Ming Ne Wen on Instagram? It made me realize that on AoS, she is putting on a full time scowl-face, even in scenes where May is supposed to be happy. Because in her video posts she's got this incredible joyful energy and I'm just amazing at her facial acting prowess.

Tbh it doesn't really make any sense that most people would be unable to pull one of those bats out of their own mouth, they take like 5 seconds to crawl in. But all anyone ever does it paw ineffectually around their chin.

Christ, just bite down.

They're probably made of some space metal or something else.

And it's been established that Yo-Yo isn't the flash, she has to use her speed like you'd have to take a deep breath or some other physical action.

I expected May to come back with some demon inside her but she had complete control of it because she's loving Melinda May. Killing them and throwing their stones out of the portal was almost as good. Izel's "the gently caress?" reaction to that was fantastic.

Man, can Flint stay around? I want to see him completely gorge on tacos. I'm also really looking forward to 1930s adventures, though I wonder if this will be Marvel past were racism wasn't as big of a deal (The First Avengers showed both in film and in the battlefield the US army was integrated, something that didn't happen until after the war. yes there were some combat units of black soldiers in the real world but you clearly see guys of multiple races in the soldiers at the front and in Cap's movie there are black soldiers) or the real world where the early 30s was racist as gently caress. Though I'd like to see some weedy Klan guy try to push Mack around.

Though is Fitz in the future or the past? Either the 2019 future or beyond that, or waiting for them in Prohibition NYC?

Patrick Warburton said he's coming back this season, so it sounds to me like this is going to be a "SHIELD's greatest TV-permissible hits" season. I guess Fury and Hill might be a cool final guest appearance, but I'm not holding my breath.
