Spoilers Agents of SHIELD- The Final Season Discussion

That's cool.

 

Cool but unsurprising. Better to create a fictional beer than using a real beer for advertising. As a beer snob, I'm always disappointed when I see favorite characters of mine drinking garbage like Rolling Rock, Stella, or Heineken.

 

Back in the days when you could show cigarettes on television and in movies Morleys were everywhere. Probably most famously on "The X-Files".

 

Oceanic has been used as a fiction airline for decades, it was all ready around long before Lost really made it famous.

 

Interesting what’s going on with Jemma. It sounds like she’s already gone through this.

 

Is this attempt #24 to fix the timeline and beat the Chronicoms?

 

I'm a huge Bones fan, so I'm looking forward to possibly seeing more of Tamara Taylor's Sibyl this week. I'll admit to freaking out just a tiny bit when she popped up in the second episode, I had not heard anything about her being on AOS this season.

 

Aha! I was wondering why she looked familiar.

 

The jumpsuits reminded me more of the blue suits from the Fallout games.
Agent May in "that" purple jump suit and high boots? I guess, as long as it's not gratuitous...LOL

 

I don’t have too much to add but it was a solid episode.

Spoiler: Next Time

Max Headroom Coulson and were those Chopping Mall robots? It’s too bad they are budget crunched I can only imagine what they might’ve whipped up.

 

Slightly off topic, actor Joel Stoffer / Enoch has a role in Stranger Things season 4.

Except those shows are from the sixties, not the seventies. If you're going for seventies vibe, you don't want confuse things by evoking sixties-era spy shows.

Although I confess I'm little disappointed that the show jumped from the fifties to the seventies, skipping the sixties, cause, yeah, an episode done in the style of sixties spy-fi would have been fun.

Godsdamn, that was a rough episode. Poor Mack. He goes through the ringer to rescue his parents only to find out they were long dead and replaced by these fucking bastards. It hurt him so much that he didn't even give a fuck about the Zephyr One jumping forward in time without him.

I love the face off between Coulson and Sibyl and their discussion about the differences between humans and Chronicoms. I was a little worried when Coulson talked about sacrifice and we saw what Sousa was doing at the moment, I feared that Sousa was going to die to save Daisy. Instead, it was Coulson to save everyone else. Yet again. Dying really has become his superpower.

Speaking of Sousa and Daisy, I'm not sure what the whole point of the dead-end side story with Nathaniel, other than to keep Daisy out of action for the main event of the episode and possibly for the foreseeable future. At least Nathaniel died a horrible, painful death. Pity we didn't get to see Whitehall again but considering how that all played out, any appearance from him would've been a waste of Reed Diamond.

Now we finally know where Fitz is and why Simmons must not remember. Question is will we ever get back to him before the end?

Deke continues to be a complete idiot. I was sad that Mack got left behind, but I didn't give a shit about Deke also getting left behind. Just a shame that Mack has to be saddled with him.

 

Fitz

Spoiler

is back in episode 7, I think

 

It's going to be interesting where it goes from there. The time jump happened, but we don't know what year Mack is in. Do we? And then a quick time jump again? Sometimes the time jumps are small, sometimes large. And will they stop at the present day, or will they go to the future?

Is there a way to go backwards again?

If you're trapped in the past, and altered your own history, what do you do to make sure your past self becomes your present self?

Would Mack enter his younger self's life?

If his parents were not supposed to die, would it make sense for Mack to train his younger self so he can save his parents? The possibility would exist if Mack stays behind in 1973. It would only be a 3 year window.

Lots of interesting questions.

 

From the trailer for next week's episode, they're in the 80s.

I hope the season ends with Coulson being dead for good, no copies, no resurrections, just leave him in peace.
