Agents of SHIELD season 5

And Inhumans was a flop, so AoS is still all they've got.
With TV show revivals all the rage now (X-Files, Roseanne, Will&Grace, Murphy Brown) is it too soon to hope for Agent Carter S3 to happen?!
Also, I saw where Anson Mount(Black Bolt/Inhumans) has been cast to be Christopher Pike on S2 of Star Trek: Discovery. It could be one episode or a few. Either way it is fairly certain Inhumans is cancelled so give us more Agent Carter!
 
Yes, I believe it's too soon for "Agent Carter". In fact, I don't see a reboot happening.

Daisy in charge does remind me of Coulson.

It looks as if Daisy is trying to impersonate Coulson to me. I find this whole scenario ridiculous. Thanks a lot Mutant Enemy for ruining it for me by confirming that Daisy is, without a doubt, a Mary Sue.
 
Gods damnit, right until the final seconds, I was thinking about how I was really happy with how things were going with Talbot. Thanks to the help from Phil and Daisy, Talbot was beginning the long process of healing after being captured, tortured, and humiliated. Until we found out that Hale turned him into a Manchurian candidate. :scream:

I'm more mad about that than any of the stupid shit Deke has done all season (and he added to that long list in this episode). Haven't the writers done enough to this man? Fuck.

Some nice character moments throughout the episode with Jemma and Leo, Piper and Mac, and especially Melinda and Phil. I really liked how she professed her love to him while razing him for all of his recent reckless actions. "I thought that would shut you up." For once, Phil didn't have a witty quip handy. :lol:

I like the development that Yo-Yo can't move superfast with her new bionic arms because of the circuitry, and now with Jemma and Leo captured by Ruby and Alex, Leo won't be able to calibrate them for her anytime soon. Just when Daisy finally got her powers back, Yo-Yo has now become hampered.

Yet another round of Deke being a useless pile of crap while thinking he's doing something good. While I'm glad the show didn't do the predictable "accidentally shoot the friend during a fight, leading to their capture" shtick, I am left wondering why the hell Deke went with Daisy and May in the first place, other than getting shot and causing problems? The show has gotten so much better than it was in the beginning, so it's disappointing to see lazy writing like this crop up from time to time.

In retrospect, we should've seen that coming.

I still find it weird that AoS has made us sympathize with Glenn Talbot. In the comics, he was a real creep.
 
We're still only seven episodes into season five, but I am still struggling. I've not been the biggest fan of AoS, but I did enjoy season four.

This one ? Not very much.

Perhaps we should've but that doesn't make it hurt any less.

MCU seems to be a place for giving mishandled-in-the-comics characters a new lease on life in several ways, doesn't it?
That's how I look at it, although I've never read any issues with Talbot and all I knew about him before this series was that he was a nemesis of the Hulk like Ross. I've really enjoyed the show's take on the character and a large part of that is due to Adrian Pasdar's performance.

How longer before Fitz-Simmons decide the future is just worth being grandparents to a Deke?
 
Preempted by Trump's speech here, damn it.

Have to try to find it on-line.

ABC only postponed it in these parts, and I think we're in the same time zone. Once the special report ended at 9:17 Eastern, they picked up exactly where they'd left off with the final moments of Once Upon a Time and then ran the full AoS episode. I almost decided to turn it off and wait to watch it on demand, but I decided to stick around (though with the sound off for the actual speech) and see what they did with AoS, and it's a good thing I did.
 
Ah, I guess I was too impatient. I fired up my recording, saw Trump approach the podium, and decided a crossword puzzle would be a better use of my time. Chances are, I didn't record the whole ep anyway.

Yeah, that seems likely. Thank goodness for On Demand cable and online streaming sites.

I still remember that time I missed the back half of an episode from the 1990 The Flash because it was pre-empted by nearly 30 minutes of Dan Rather talking about President Bush's ultimately inconsequential health scare that day. It was memorable because of the perfectly awful timing -- Bill Mumy's character was wrestling with his more evil partner over a gun, the gun had just gone off between them, we were waiting to see which one had been hit... and then "This is a CBS News Special Report!" It was easy to guess which character got killed, but still, wow. It's like they did that on purpose to screw with us. I don't think I ever got to see the rest of that episode until the Sci-Fi Channel reran it years later.
 
Heck, I remember being very pissed off back in 1973 when Spiro Agnew's resignation preempted a new TV-movie version of DRACULA, starring Jack Palance and scripted by Richard Matheson. I had been waiting all week for that DRACULA movie and the damn Vice-President had to choose that day to resign! :)

(It was rescheduled and finally aired a week later, as I recall.)
 
So, just in case anyone else made the same mistake I did, I hadn't realized that was the real Ivanov at the Hydra lab, so that's the Superior off the board. They probably could've been clearer that he'd moved his head out of its jar and mounted it to one of his doubles, though I suppose the fact that he intended to use the chamber himself, the fact that we'd never seen an Ivanov copy bring down all the others around when it was destroyed, and the very gooey head injury when he died was supposed to all make it clear it was really him. I figured he'd just had a limited supply of full-quality robots after Ada was destroyed, but I guess he didn't have any and we've been seeing the real guy this whole time.

Well, considering Leo is just as frustrated with Deke as I am... :lol:

What makes you so sure the body Yo-Yo killed was the real Ivanov? Granted I wasn't paying too close attention to him because I've always been rather indifferent towards the character, but my impression that it was another copy.
 
They are all copies.

Although, it was said earlier that he is careful about handicapping copies who might potentially start acting too independent, like how Donald used to shake Eric as a baby.
