I intentionally avoid them because they spoil everything.
Agents of Shield - Season 4
- Thread starter MarsWeeps
- Start date
I imagine that it's a budget thing (in world and out).
Sure, they've back out in the public eye now, so it makes sense Mace would want to do a bit of PR.
Here's how Mace's end of things looked.

It does look ambiguously staged. ABC camera crew or SHIELD-supplied feed to ABC?

We do know where the CIA's offices are located, though -- an office complex in Langley, Virginia, as just about any work of fiction involving the CIA will frequently remind us. But as I said, the Playground is supposed to be an undisclosed location. It's an old SSR bunker left over from Agent Carter's day. Nobody outside of SHIELD was supposed to know where it was. Even Coulson had never heard of it until Fury pointed him in the right direction.
It's hard to imagine they can keep it a secret when official, though - particularly as they massively expand the size of their personnel.
As I just said, it was secret the last time SHIELD was an official organization -- even secret to most of SHIELD's own members. That's the only reason it survived the post-HYDRA government purge. Although I guess the difference is that it wasn't their main headquarters then. Now that it's their core facility, I suppose they kinda had to come out in the open with it.
Yeah, Triskellion wasn't a secret.
I can't see Fury doing PR. Maybe Robert Redford handled that.
I was thinking maybe there were tech or power requirements that exclude it from being worn, like Daisy's braces, so it must be piggybacked on Coulson's prosthesis. He doesn't seem to use it much.
Probably, but it probably also constantly recharged itself Data-style.What's the battery life on Coulson's hand anyways? With and without the shield powered on? Does he have to put it in a charging stand overnight?
Does it use one of Fitz's super cell phone batteries?
Gyroscopic power generation?
So basically constantly converting Coulson's motion into electric energy to sustain the battery over the day?
Doing fancy tricks like the shield though, probably drains it almost immediately.
It kinda reminds me of a comic strip I once read where the characters in a world with robots note that if nuclear weapons were automated, then they would likely require massive quantities of therapy.

Agreed. Now that it seems that the Playground has to serve as the Triskelion did from 1989 to 2014, as the public HQ of the Division...and it's not as if they really bothered hiding the comings and goings of the Bus, assorted Quinjets and Zephyr One as it was...
