We have seen blue people in the MCU already:
Makes sense with Asgard playing such a large role in AoS.
Except that dude looks nothing like the alien we see in AoS. I guess they have ONE thing in common in your eyes. >.>

Not just the blue coloring. There's also a matter of scale. If you look at shots with both Coulson and the body, its clearly a larger creature. Probably 8-10 feet tall when whole.
One detail missing is the scar patterns, which could be cutting corners on a TV budget or a caste thing - we've only seen warrior Jotun. The body didn't have red eyes, but it also didn't have eyes at all.

I think it was 8 days.
GotG is in Aug, AoS s2 starts in Sept.
if AoS keeps a schedule similar to how it did this year, and I'm not really sure why they would since as you said, there will be no movies during the s2 run, then it would end just before Avengers 2 launched.
But that was kinda my point. After Cap 2 and GotG, they should have enough doors open to just run freely into the MCU and do what they need to do to keep the story fresh and exciting from the start. They should be able to reference things before they appear in a movie and rapidly expand the MCU before the next movies come out.

Yeah the Jotuns have distinct skin patterns/markings on their bodies that was not present on the alien body in last night's episode. He had an autopsy scar but nothing like the lines you see on a frost giant.
I'm pretty set on it being a Kree, we just don't know if it's Mar-Vehl or someone else, or no one important in particular.

Ron Glass' character is named Dr. Streiten. That's who they were talking about.
Makes sense. They've also talked a lot about an African American agent becoming a regular. If this turns out true, I know of one who'd need re-assignment.
Mar-vehl is a pink Kree

Only in 616. In Ultimate and Earth's Mightiest Heroes, he's blue or green with a human form disguise.
Another possibility is a Centaurian, which is Yondu's species:

And in Marvelboy's universe they are part cockroack, but I doubt marvel will bother with any of those. And didn't they say Yondu's fin will be cgi?

Don't know if this has been suggested already but my initial thought, before I started thinking about aliens was what if this is an Atlantian.

I believe they expire again this year though. I think Marvel last renewed them end of 2010.
Isn't that just Marvel Boy? Marvel Boy being a Kree experiment of some sort.
really needs to pick up the speed and clean house next season. Also for the love of god marvel cut jeph loeb this guy is tv show poison.

One thing I noticed is that he is pretty massive.
Aren't those ice giants pretty massive?

Yep. Jeph Loeb needs to go. It's been proven with three animated series and one live action show that his philosophy does not work. No matter how deluded he may be.
Man Simmons was looking so gorgeous this episode. I hope with the inevitable show retool that she becomes more of a focus. She can really be the driving force that fans connect with and see through.
Pretty short from Constantinople
BRILLIANT!!
That's not good.
Let's assume that was a Kree.
In the comics there are blue and pink Kree, the pinks look like humans but are more durable (like getting shot in the stomach twice durable) than the blues.
We don't know why Sky is an 084 or why people are trying to track her down, my theory is that she is also Kree and that's why the serum worked so quickly on her.

I doubt production changes will get more people to watch this show. The writing's on the wall at this point, sadly enough.
Yeah, they hinted that she's a Kree with her mysterious origins and it not being hard to cure her
Also rules her out of being Ms. Marvel, are there any famous Kree born women in the Marvel Universe?
Kinda wanted her to be jessica drew too :-/
Anyone know if Bill Paxton's character has been in anything else MCU? Seemed kind of random, but maybe I've missed him some other time
Nope. He's brand new to the MCU.
EDIT: read your post wrong! Lol
Huh, interesting
Ultragirl makes sense, not very well known (to me at least) and I doubt she'd be completely new

They can spin it any way they want, but Disney cannot be happy right now. It could be right in line with Arrow's ratings at the end of the season.

But we're obviously deeply connected to Skye. Marvel tells us we are all the time so it must be true.

Agents of SHIELD. I'm with you.
Not sure the alien could be a known Kree or Mar-Vell, since it appears he was buried under tons of rock and thus dead now.
I wonder if I'll like the show more when I rewatch it via Netflix back-to-back, later on. Watching these eps one-at-a-time, I have no sense of continuing drama, unlike back when Lost started, by way of comparison. I hope it gets a 2nd season but it isn't a well-written show.

I think the mysteries are actually starting to get more compelling. I like this stuff.
I assume Quinn will be back in time for the finale, where he'll be offed before giving Coulson a lead.

Holy shit, this episode was actually good.
But only because it was not like the premise of the show.

So another question thats possibly already been asked/answered on here. Is Agent Triplet the same guy who was Triathlon in the comics? Its been a while since I read those Avengers comics.

..the show has been pretty light on anything from the marvel universe i think thats why so any are turned off from it, producers are going to learn the same lesson the Arrow show did apparently.
I fully expect a crap load of marvel U to be in the second season , just like arrow is opening the flood gates after learning its lesson and became a much better show.

No, the overall writing has always been the biggest issue with SHIELD. Not that I disagree that the show can and should be taking more advantage of the shared-universe setting, but that would be much less salient a criticism if the series were consistently delivering strong characterization and interesting storylines, which it's only really pulled off in a handful of episodes thus far (6, 7, 12, 13).
This episode was entertaining enough, as usual, but everything genuinely interesting happened in the last five minutes. Too many scenes of the writers hammering in that we're supposed to love Skye and think she's the greatest character ever, and while I'd like to believe that some of the more morally questionable things that the team did in this episode (beating a captured prisoner, killing two possible SHIELD agents and blowing up an entire facility instead of using non-lethal weaponry) will be addressed down the road, I have no faith that that's going to happen.

How often does that happen though? Typically shows don't see huge growth from season to season, they might get a bump but usually they just follow a trend or stabilize. But also you get slowly dwindling numbers over time with production costs going up with each season.
We're seeing a different trend with serialized cable shows- they're going up season after season as people catch up via DVD/Netflix.

Thing is Shield isn't really serialized. Ot follows the Jeph Loeb tv philosophy of anyone can jump in with any episode. Thing is, anyone can jump out with any episode too.
That only works if people enjoy the first season. Those 10 million people that dropped out, show a problem.
Those cable shows usually had steady ratings and solid word-of-mouth though, SHIELD has neither.
I see only one chance for this show to recover somewhat, if they manage to get Robert Downey Jr. to guest-star and promote the shit out of it. People would tune in just to see him and maybe give the show another shot if they enjoyed the episode. Slim chance of that happening though.
