We seem to be rapidly flying toward the climax here, and it's not clear how things are going to work out. There are still unknowns at work and revelations being thrown at us-- like Little Boy Blue's secret seer, that he conveniently never mentioned before. Is this another Inhuman who he's been keeping in reserve, or another time traveler? Or another old timer who took the long way to the future? I find it interesting that he recognized YoYo and knew her by name. The last time we saw her in the past, she was heading off, against May's advice, to fight the Kree-- does he know about her because of that, or has he been keeping her alive with Kree blood all this time?
Because he can do that, as we now know, because he brought the Fuzzy mercenary's friend back to life. And threatened to repeatedly resurrect and kill Mack and YoYo-- is this what he's been doing to alternate-past-time loop YoYo for eighty years? And, unfortunately, he has a point: If he and Blue Man Group are ousted, how are the remaining humans going to stay alive? It's not just a question of organization, or a sustainable economy, or even a minimum viable population-- some caves in an asteroid is not a stable long-term environment, especially if you've got super-powered Inhumans running around. The humans would have to be relocated somewhere.
Elsewhere, we're getting closer to a real explanation of how the Earth was destroyed, since we're seeing gravitonium everywhere in those funky Lava Lamps. At the same time, it's interesting that Daisy seems to want to retain her inhibitor implant so that she will not be a danger to anyone-- but I'm betting it turns out that the gravitonium is the cause of the world's destruction and the inhibitor prevented her from saving it. My guess is that disabling the inhibitor is what will ultimately break the time loop.
And the seemingly undefeatable Ball Girl finally met her end, but in a very anticlimactic way--- I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, and not just because there was no gravity. Previously, I had expected her to turn on the boss, since he so easily sent her to what appeared to be certain death, but she retained her loyalty to him without adequate explanation. Did she just see him as a means to an end? Unlikely, since he's such a wimp. Was she romantically interested in him? Unlikely for the same reason. Was it just because he gave her a position and was a good boss. Maybe. But we still don't know. And we still don't know the origin of her ball weapons and her control of them. And why didn't she have them or use them on the ship? Why did she have to grab a knife? Unless there's more to come somehow, it seems like they really dropped the ball on that plot. Pun intended.
