Agents of SHIELD: Season 3 - Discussion (SPOILERS LIKELY)

^^ That's exactly what I would have done. Or put him in stasis. Definitely an oversight leaving the super-bodyguard who can beat up everybody unguarded, as well as not very effectively contained. They're in big trouble now.
 
A fine episode. I like the Secret Warriors set up and I can't wait to see what happens next with the rest of the team. I do have a problem with this future crap. If I saw myself die in a black suit, I'd wear green shorts or something. It all just seems changeable.
But then the green shorts would get dirty and all you'd have to wear is the back suit.:D

At the very least they need a more substantial lock on that door. I mean he was able to pry that open with a seatbelt buckle? Really? Seems a little too easy. But then after Magneto's "compressing iron out of an man's blood into deadly ball-bearings" jailbreak in X2, it's gonna be tough for anything like to look interesting or impressive.
 
^^ And why was there even a seatbelt buckle in there? The guy can levitate things and turn them into weapons. They really should have cleared the room. That was a bit of lazy writing.
 
I'd have to rewatch again, but the way I remember it, the buckle was outside the pod, not inside it. And since the pod was supposed to neutralize his abilities, I assumed he escaped because Hive somehow supercharged him making his abilities stronger than the technology was designed for.

No, we've seen that people inside the pods still have their abilities (like Andrew turning into Lash), they just can't affect things outside or destroy the pod. There was an earlier point where Giyera was starting to affect objects outside of the pod while the door was open, and they shut the door on him and the effect stopped. I think what must've happened is that Giyera managed to levitate the buckle inside with him before the door closed, then later used it to wedge the door open.
 
I've been enjoying this season a lot, and it was great fun to see Whitehall again, though I'd totally forgotten about him being German, so his accent threw me off at first. (That said, isn't it high time we saw one of the Koenigs again?! It's been ages!)

Also, who's looking after Blonsky these days? One of the Koenigs, I hope? And how about a Liv Tyler cameo at some point? Surely she could help the gang science something up...

ETA: Here's a clever, if somewhat rough, fan-edited appearance of the AoS theme during Age of Ultron's helicarrier appearance. Missed opportunity!

It is going to be an interesting month of Tuesdays. Maybe they really are going in all alone without a tie to Captain America Civil War. If the rest of this arc is at good as the recent weeks then I am fne with that.
 
Well, now we know how her nickname gets upgraded from "Tremors" to "Quake" (not that I'd consider a fugly 90's FPS game preferable to a Kevin Bacon B-movie about giant man eating earthworms, but there you go. ;) )
 
I pretty much guessed that Daisy would turn out to be the infected one, largely because it would carry more dramatic weight if it was one of the series leads. I guess technically Lincoln is one of the leads now, but he's still lower on the totem pole.

I did not expect Malick to be taken out of play so soon, though. Since we didn't see his death scene until the end, and since the body was blown up before it could be examined, I was half-expecting that he would turn out to have faked his death and orchestrated the attack on the base.

I like it that half the team is Spanish-speaking and SHIELD is learning to be bilingual.
 
How is this show able to make me feel bad for characters being killed that I would have cheered them being killed earlier? Damn you for making me have feelings.

I don't mind if there isn't a direct tie in, but then the Watchdogs and Pres. Ellis seemed like a tie in already.
 
Awesome episode, the Secret Warriors action was really good. They got in, kicked some ass then got out. Mission accomplished.

And anybody noticed that we are nearing the end of the season finale and Daisey is tricked to work for the bad guys... again? Though Hive Ward still calls her Skye because he had no way to hear her real name, nice touch.
