I'm way behind (at least 2 weeks?), so I just swung by to note that Agents of Shield season 1 is now on Netflix.

BOY WAS I EXCITED FOR THAT DANCING WITH THE STARS EPISODE.

At least Flash is continuing to be good. Until December 2nd when they're pulling a Batman vs Superman Arrow vs Flash episode. It already feels like chewing an aluminum just thinking about it.

Really liked last night's Flash. But now I have to catch up on Arrow. I think I'm on season 2 episode 2 on Netflix. I have season 3 recorded in my DVR.

Slowly watching it. Trying to ignore episode previews while watching Flash.

I'm not sure, but I find it ridiculous that she's suddenly capable of putting up anything resembling a fight against someone that was almost a match for May. Which, ha, called it. She's totally Madam Masque, though not quite Maggia. I kind of hope it leads in that direction eventually. Having only a single evil organization gets kind of stale, especially when there's a wonderful wealth of those in the world.

So how many Life Model Decoy Pattons are we betting there are? I think they were honest with thirteen.

There's no real significance to Puerto Rico in 616 so I'm not sure where that is heading, but they did finally name drop Kree and associated them with blue people, though I guess that's a bit moot considering Guardians already covered that. It does pretty much knock out K'un L'un and the Ancient One's Temple, which I'm glad to be wrong about. Though Attilan was located off the coast of Iceland (200 miles southwest, if you really want specifics) in the Northern Atlantic so yeah. No clue as far as source material.

And finally, I hope Lil' Mac is okay.

I really hope Mac becomes Luke Cage, because that would be awesome.

I really don't think they'll find Attilan on Earth, but perhaps some terrigen mists?

Between Sky's training with Ward & May & her whole being an Inhuman - who even before terrigenesis are superior to humans, her kick assedness should not be questioned.

The brothers/twins/whatever cracked me up several times. I especially liked the off-screen comments during the conversation with Coulson.

"May electrocuted her right in the face." - "Oh, that is so badass!"

Agreed. Would be a shame if he died.

And honestly, agent 33 or whatever she's called wasn't really remotely close to being a challenge for May. IIRC, there were other interruptions which gave her a shot, and she still got her butt whupped.

Managed to stick it through Arrow for the second half of the crossover. Which went to show that you just can't make a boomerang based villain that isn't a major joke. The puns didn't help. Was that supposed to be Amanda Waller? Where was the other two-thirds of her?

New theory making the rounds is that Sky could be Daisy Johnson/Quake, based upon the song "Daisy Bell" that the music box played in the last episode. That would make her Dad Mr. Hyde which would kind of fit, provided they are Inhumans in the MCU.

They're just screwing* (* Seriously?) with us with Patton now. His "brother's" circuits are fried and he's recharging his batteries? Come on! I don't care if her real name is Daisy, she'll always be Mary Sue Poots to me, but at the very least thank god she ain't Carol Danvers. Would have been nice to have an actual Jekyl/Hyde transformation and not just being really, really angry. Ward got jacked up.

Terrigan Crystal. Terrigenesis cocoons.

RIP in peace BlackFitz. Smiley: frown

No real surprises, but well done for a season finale. Or a mid-season finale. Why do we even have this distinction anyway? Kind of annoying. Seeing Absorbing Man during the credits was great. I want more of that in Agents of SHIELD. Forget realism, I'm not watching the MCU for that.

Commercial for Galavant. Weird Al as a singing monk. I'll be watching that.

Also, anyone else watching Forever? I'm enjoying Reed Richards as an immortal coroner. Amusingly it's how I picture a CSI-like show would be done in the Marvel Universe. It's not all that exciting, but something about it makes me stick around.

Monks doing jazz hands. And I got a kick out of Ricky Gervais turning the frog into a man. I watch Once Upon a Time, so I've been seeing the commercials for Galavant a lot.


On Topic:
Did we see Raina crumble or emerge during that final scene? I don't recall seeing either.

She kind of sort of was emerging, with the thick hairs around her eyes. She looks less human because she's a bad guy.

Ah, I saw the hairy faced one, didn't realize it was Raina. Thought "Wait, what happened to those hairs on Skye? Eh, what ever, black guy crumbling now and Skye is sad."

Maybe it's too soon after Beth died on The Walking Dead, but my wife lost it when Tripp died, then she got mad at herself for how much she's into the show. She had to be consoled again, anyway, & I did warn her that one of them (Tripp/Mac) would probably die at some point because of the black guy tropes.

Anyhoo, great episode, too bad about Tripp but I'm very happy we got Mac back! Cue the plot where Sky/Daisy/Quake is torn up about using her powers 'cause she remembers Tripp died when she got them every time she uses them. The is he/isn't he an LMD with Patton Oswalt is great.

I guess Marvels just going to use Inhumans in place of mutants, which works to some degree. I just don't want to see any of the Inhuman royalty until their movie or it kinda cheapens it.

I wonder what Raina morphed into? Oh, & no ****ing way Whitehall is dead with immortal organs & ****. I also look forward to the further adventures of Ward & Madame Masque/Agent 33/Evil May.

My first thought after Raina emerged from her cocoon was 'oh noez, it's Tigra'.

Sad about Tripps. Happy Ward is not dead. But what did stop/slow the bullets? Did he just carry a metal plate under his jacket? Did not quite get that.

My comic book knowledge was not sufficient to identify the eyeless spook at the end. Any suggestions?

I thought that was part of what ever show came on after it. Was that part of SHIELD?

My DVR wonked out at the very end and I didn't know what shows were still what.

It was still AoS. He picks up a second obelisk and makes a phone call to tell whoever was on the other end that the chamber was activated I think.

While I'm thinking about it, here's my predictions: Bobbi was hiding a flashdrive near the middle of the episode, which I believe is information about the current roster of members. I believe she's doing it for Steve, who was pretty much the most affected by the SHIELD/Hydra infiltration thing so he doesn't trust them and he sent in Mockingbird to spy on the spies, while also being able to keep track of Hydra as a bonus. Could also be Fury. I'm thinking Steve because it would show how much he distrusts the government, and SHIELD specifically, while Tony would be alright with their existence for the greater good they do which overall leads us to the next Cap movie, a Spider-Man-less Civil War.

Which I'm still bent over. Also Pym was apparently active during World War II, so I kind of expect to see something related to that on Agent Carter in January. I'm half-way bent about that, because source material wise it's pants-on-head retarded, but if the rumors are true that Tony is jump-starting a defense plan based on AI from the past, then that's an in for "Pym created Ultron," which overall I can get behind.

I'd say it seems like something Fury does on a daily basis while Steve... even if he distrusts SHIELD that's not his style.

I wonder if we'll see more and more superpowered villains from now on, like Creel and Deathlok, now that Skye has become Quake.

I totally missed any bit showing Raina, so not sure at all.

Yeah. I was a bit annoyed with the whole "plot twist just changed which black guy dies" bit they did there. Also not sure about the whole deal where Mac gets infected/transformed/whatever by the city defenses like 5 feet in, but Tripp and Coulson are able to run all over the place without problems later. Defenses work at the speed of plot, I guess. The Ward thing I saw more as a weak explanation for him to survive. See, he was wearing body armor, and he holds it up to show the audience this fact so that we're not all like "why didn't he die?". Bit ham fisted, but possible, I suppose. Of course, body armor is also subject to the needs of plot. Totally worthless for the stormtroopersHydra guards, who are wearing full tactical gear, but mostly effective for Ward, who was at best wearing a light vest under his shirt (of course why he'd still have it on when he was tied up by Whitehall for betraying him is kind of a mystery, maybe they just didn't have time to search him and remove anything he might use against them later?). Again, plot trumps logic.

I've seen much worse, so I'm not really sweating it.

No clue. Probably not necessary to know anything about him other than his role in the series going forward though, so not a problem IMO.

Yeah. Totally. They were way too cavalier with that IMO. Given all these people have seen, you'd think there would be a bit more "let's make sure". But that's a staple of comics as well, so you just roll with it. But yeah, expect a "surprise" return from him.

Actually, you'd think Skye's father would have torn him apart, rather than just leaving him lying there with one bullet in him. Again though, plot.

I think Mac touched something which in turn triggered a response while Coulson and the Tripp-FitzSimmons crew were more careful. Convenient for the story, sure, but not too far reaching.
