There really was a lot happening without much actually happening if that makes sense.

For me thats always the sign of something good going on laying the ground work for future episodes/films.

except that coulson just took out all of HYDRAS hierarchy in one swoop, gonna be interesting to see what happens them now, will coulson start reacquiring stolen facilities, and getting SHIELD back to somewhat full functionality

As they have the next few movies all mapped out already Age of Ultron, Thor Ragnarock and ultimately Civil War lots of ground work will be getting done in the tv shows again, Fury gave control to Agent Coulson but I do think he still has an eye on him maybe it is Mack and Bobby could be something entirely different going on too though.

dont forget the Inhumans film

one thing i thought when this show started was that it would be a good investment, it got off to a slow start, but i knew a bigger plan was in place, this is one of a few shows where ratings dont really matter, there is such a bigger plan in place that this show will easily run for 7 seasons plus, its just such a great launch vehicle for the larger Marvel universe that their building, disney has to much invested in the MCU to worry about a show that costs probably 100-120 million dollars a year to make, and can be used so well in the bigger scheme of things,

Simmons will be interesting going forward the hate is strong in her now.

Now thats how you open with a mid season break!
Def felt more of a Cap 3/Civil War thing

Excellent episode!

maybe, but daniel whitehall was HYDRAS leader leader, wasnt he, or have i missed something, and the bunch who met were all talking about each of them taking over from him, so to me they would be fairly senior members of the organisation,

not saying the whole organisation will simply fall, but i do think coulson has done a good bit or damage to them, maybe it could just be one cell in the north american branch, but i dont think so myself,

Baron von Strukcer seems to be the head honcho.

Agent Coulson wrote: »

No he answered to someone who will be in Avengers.

Don't forget Whitehall was in prison for decades so there is no way he was the leader of Hydra.

He was given freedom to do as he wanted because he went after artifacts.

yeah true i suppose, but hasnt he been out for a while, he killed skyes mother over 20 years ago, but yeah hes not the leader, but was it ever explained what it is he was in charge of, so coulson took out his cell, how much damage has that done, or do we even know,

if you wanted to find out more would you then not shoot that guy in the head, he was one of the seven wasn't he?

He was and I agree shooting him was strange.

But for me what this episode was I wonder will that shooting play a part.

I found the change of attitude to wanting to kill raina by Gemma, kinda sudden and out of character to be honest. maybe it was just me but i felt they just changed her character too much too quickly in that episode, where she is basically saying they are all a disease, i felt that was out of sorts for her established character in earlier episodes.

Possibly being undercover in Hydra for so long, coupled with the amount of danger they've faced over the last 2 seasons, the death of Trip, and the way it's making Coulson change (they knew him a lot longer than Skye, and he's gone from calm, cool and collected to angry, harsh and authoritative), maybe it's all just after bubbling up. I can see why she's changed, and it may have been better to have been fleshed out a bit more, but they only have about 7/9 more episodes to change her mind again!

I like this episode. I'll be curious to see where the Skye Fitz story is going. And what's going to happen to Ward. No sign of him this week.

It's found a better time slot instead of 5pm on a Sunday to sit down & watch it (again)

Having said that, I reckon that the blood shots after Raina attacked the technicians might not make the Channel 4 edit.

So much in this episode the MCU ground work laying is amazing.

yeah a pretty big info dump last night, and still managing to make it a brilliant episode overall,

did skye walk out in the end, i wonder if the other inhumans know about skye, will raina tell them that a second person turned with her,

must say im starting to take a disliking to some (most really) of the team the way their just turning on skye, whos clearly more worried about whats happening than anyone else, its a wonder lady sif and the kree fella didnt convince then to look at skye to give some kind of indication as to how she can handle her powers of something,

Loki is posing as Odin at least at this time as seen in the last Thor movie. This might explain why Lady Sif was really after a Kree. As already said lots of ground work here and not just for the Inhuman storyline but Civil War too, Mack and Bobby aren't Hydra but could they be working for A.I.M. ?

I'm thinking

I read a marvel comic recently called Secret War, Skyes character(Daisy) is in it as a SHIELD agent not an Inhuman.

Yeah the only thing Skye has in common with comic book Daisy is her powers and her father.

Sudden Valley wrote: »

I used to think Skye was a stupid name but a grown woman called Daisy sounds worse. disappointed they didn't continue with Raina's story this week it was sort of a cliff hanger at the end of the last episode.

I too, wanted to see if they give her a costume and also see where they are going with the blind guy , he has potential to be very interesting. All the talk between Sif and the kree guy seemed to be focused on how the transformation in the cave has turned Skye and Raina into weapons now, Raina will embrace this rather than reject it like Skye has/will.
