Agents of SHIELD - Season 2 Discussion Threads. (Spoilers Likely)

I don't know who Mockingbird is but I enjoyed seeing "Wonder Woman"'s turn at a badass SHIELD agent. Her height helps to sell it also. I was really caught off-guard at Coulson's play so the whole countdown thing with Raina played out nicely. All-in-all pretty good episode.

I didn't even realize Mockingbird's actress was the woman who played Wonder Woman in that horrible pilot. I knew she looked familiar, but I couldn't figure out where I'd seen her before. Well, her role as a SHIELD agent is already 1000x more successful then her role as an Amazon princess :lol:. She was also good in GI Joe: Retaliation. I'm also hoping that she gets Mockingbird as an official codename.
 
Yeah, the "Hellcow" thing was amusing. You just know that someone's going to want that followed up.

I'm also tempted to support the Maximus theory. Not much for me to hang onto in terms of evidence, but it's tempting.
 
The guessing is almost as much fun as the watching, it's nice to see something that caters to people that know stuff as well as good for people that don't. Like that Hellcow refrence, that wouldn't have hurt anyone, like me, not catching it, it didn't slow the plot or cause a problem, but for the people who recognized it, it was great.
I don't word things very well, my point is that small refrences can mean a lot to some people and really enhance their enjoyment without slowing or derailing the plot or alienating the larger audience.

When Mockie whipped out those silver batons and smacked everyone, that was great. :guffaw:

And as bad as that pilot was, she even looks like WW in this SHIELD episode more than in that, and she even had an invisible jet! I think someone is have fun as someone else's expense, and I approve. :lol:

The invisible jet thing flew right past me (pun not intended). Good catch, Spocktoberfest.

I agree with you on the Easter eggs in our current crop of comic book shows. Little throwaway lines like references to Bessie or, like in the latest Flash episode, a theatre marquee advertising a Rita Farr bio-flick are aimed squarely at the long-time fans but don't detract from the larger narrative. I appreciate these small nods to the fandom.

She's also Sam's flaming dead girlfriend on Supernatural.
 
^I'm not sure why they're doing it but it might have something to do with how long it takes to get to somewhere else. If you don't know the location of the base, you can't say "how'd they get there so fast?"

We do know the Shield headquarters is in a city.
 
Some are saying they white haired guy below is Whitehall. It's also rumoured that B.J. Brit will be in the AoU cast (based on IMDB) and that the Avengers will be taking down a Hydra baddie early in the movie (someone on another website forum failed to spoil it and I'm not following up on it to not spoil it more).

Yeah, it's nonsense. I'm not saying it's not true, but there's certainly nothing clear enough to be probative there.

Regarding the other character
BJ Britt has been rumored for some time but the rumor is based on someone who thought they saw him. It's more likely they confused him for Falcon, who is apparently in the movie.

IGN theorized that it was Baron Von Strucker in a Black Widow flashback. That seems a lot more likely to me than Whitehall.
 
1) Simmons's means of evading suspicion--intentional, or not? If so, that's dark even for her.

Naw. I was wondering why in the meeting when Simmons said it could kill millions, even billions, he responded with "Pretty awesome, huh?". I think that gave her justification (to herself) to set him up.
 
A person who could say that about such things without qualms? I can't say that I'd blame Simmons for setting Turgeon up like that.
