Also, the beginning bit, cross is a red herring.

 

[neojubei]

I'll never understand where does sheild get their funding? Who pays for their salaries and what's the operational budget. Since the president is ok with sheild are they paid by military funding?

Make S.H.I.E.L.D. Great Again

Coulson is terrible. He's a lightweight. We're losing to Hydra. We're losing to Lash. When I'm Director of SHIELD, we're going to win. We're going to win so much, we won't need the Avengers.

I get along great with Inhumans, but the bad ones got to go. We're going to have a wall. Boltagon is paying for it.

Stark creates Ultron and almost ends the world? Nobody cares.

WTF do you think Civil War is about?

 

[MHWilliams]

I hope not. Asian Magneto and Hispanic Gorgon are the makings of a solid bad guy team.

This literally had me laughing out loudl.

So Ward is Dust now?

Ward is Hive.

Did they just snatch him like 80s cartoon villains?

Yep. 100 percent straight up G.I. Joe/Cobra shit right here.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I loved this episode a lot. I have a good feeling about the Ward/Hive stuff.

 

[NobleXenon]

I enjoyed this episode; glad the show is back.

I guess I missed a Daredevil ad? Anyone have a video of it?

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Stray thoughts and observations in no particular order.

• That was Yo-Yo in the ship (Quinjet?), no? That was her cross.
• Love the slow-mo effect on Slingshot.
• Lincoln/Daisy continue to be the most forced couple.
• Hah, flesh hand for Coulson; that's convenient to the props department.
• "You two deserve each other" and a spin-off show, apparently.
• Goddamn it, Fitz-Simmons is being awkward again.
• What was Hive even doing there at the end?
• Yay, more Talbot!
• Why is Mack flirting with Yo-Yo? What is this?
• Also, no qualms about basically torturing a comatose person, Lincoln? Where's your Hippocratic oath?
• "Fox News won't shut up." Accurate.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

The flashback has me curious, and I liked the stuff with Yo-Yo, but other than that I thought it was a pretty boring episode.

 

[dead souls]

Dull, dull, dull. Terrible episode to come back from a long hiatus with.

I'm sorry

 

[LaNaranja]

Fantastic episode. Although what the fuck? They are seriously writing out the two hispanic characters but keeping Lincoln?

If nothing else this episode showed me that they don't need Bobbi and Hunter. Joey and Yo-Yo would be great replacements.

I'll never understand where does sheild get their funding? Who pays for their salaries and what's the operational budget. Since the president is ok with sheild are they paid by military funding?

Maria Hill was embezzling money from Stark during season 2. Now it is government funded on the down low.

 

[DangerMouse]

lol, just the beginning of that conversation you knew immediately they were talking about Talbot

Yeah LOL, that was hilarious. It was like the President was trolling with some of his lines during that conversation too lol. Talbot taking orders from Coulson should be really fun lol.

 

[kirblar]

Lincolns a regular, they are not. Theyll be back.

Also, Lincoln is totally dying.

Mack and the cross is what she gave him before he went on a sacrifice mission

Minority quota reached sorry sir.

 

[Nokagi]

Decent episode I guess. Honestly I'm mostly just watching for Ward/Hive at this point. The other story lines are pretty boring and these budget X-men aren't doing it for me.

 

[The Elite]

Yeah, I don't get that.

So we're getting a new black character by the end of the season, making Mack expendable? Or maybe they'll make May's ex a regular.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Yeah I liked the episode but it felt pretty damn anticlimactic for Daisy to just send off two of the members like that. She was even willing to let Lincoln go do his thing. What happened to building a new team?

 

[Shuggananas]

Didn't know this restarted already, only watched 2 episodes of agent carter and then forgot it existed
Was S2 of carter any good ?

 

[Maintenance]

I hate when things start from the ending. It's pretty obvious that low budget Quicksilver is not the one in

Meh episode.

I don't think they are disbanding the team. Daisy just realized it's important that these people have a normal life as well. They don't need to be locked away in some facility all the time once they are deemed safe and have control over their abilities.

Also, after Lash made a buffet out of all the Inhumans in the mid-season finale, maybe it gave her doubt of all of them being together.

 

[Lashley]

Decent enough episode.

Excited to see Ward evolve from this Hive form into Ultimate Taskmaster Hive.

What's pretty obvious is that they want us to think it's Helena, with how it prominently featured the cross. If they wanted a mysterious flashforward "someone is dying at the end of the season and it was hidden in plain sight" then it's terribly done.

I'm guessing she got in a fight and her cross is ripped off. The female shoulder belongs to a yet unknown Hydra agent who infiltrated Shield.

 

[Dunlop]

Reading that description for Hive, it seems rather underwhelming for a being (parasite?) that Hydra has been trying to free for a thousand years.

It an I missing something?

If the ability to enslave a bunch of powered people to your will in a quest for world domination doesn't bother you, I don't know what would.

They're probably taking massive liberties with the concept.

 

[DietRob]

Season opener was weak. Especially after such a strong Agent Carter season.
I too do not like starting off the season with what will likely be the ending shot.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Money down Ward/whatever he is right now is on that ship.

 

[Keyser Soze]

If the opening shot really is YoYo it is a pretty good visual of how much her powers will grow over the course of the rest of the season. Also, if in three months her powers allow her to YoYo all the way to space, then I am would not be surprised if everyone else's powers will be supercharged in some way by the end of the season.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Disappointed that Mack didn't try to choke Elena.

 

[Pachimari]

Just watched the episode and I really liked it. One of the best episodes of this season, and the effects this time were really good. I hope to see more of Yo-Yo.

What about that woman who could multiply herself? Isn't she coming back?

 

[Dunlop]

If the ability to enslave a bunch of powered people to your will in a quest for world domination doesn't bother you, I don't know what would.

I read it as they can control a single body. I know nothing about the character.

She was in one of the promo trailers recently so yeah shell probably be back

Episode just rushed along. Liked it.

But man, HiveWard is creepy as fuck.

 

[Danthrax]

It's pretty good for its first half, then becomes great in its second half until the last episode, which was only OK.

I hate when things start from the ending..

It's some Battlestar Galactica shit, which was cool, like, the first time they used it on that show, then it just became a trope they leaned on when they had an episode that was going to be boring for its first 55 minutes.

It did seem to be an awkward usage on SHIELD if nothing else.

 

[Escape Goat]

What was with the tweet that the first 30 seconds of this epidode would totally fuck our shit up.

Twitter hype, please.

 

[BBboy20]

The SHIELD patch was the older one. SHIELD/Hydra agents stuck in space before 2012?

 

[Seigyoku]

This translating is so... authentic?
Coooooooool.

Interpreting. He was interpreting, not translating.

(Nitpick as I've lived with translators and interpreters most of my life.)

"We're running out of budget for special effects for Coulson's hand so we're gonna let the actor use his real hand but make it glow sometimes to acknowledge that it's not real in the show."

Oldest trick in the book.

"We're running out of budget for special effects for Coulson's hand so we're gonna let the actor use his real hand but make it glow sometimes to acknowledge that it's not real in the show."

Yep. I'm not even mad though because it's hard enough for Coulson to blend in with all his swag that an obviously fake hand would stand out too much.

 

[BrokenFiction]

How does he not have one of these yet:

I'm going to harp on the most obvious solution ever until they add it.

I mean, before that they were using a black leather glove. That trick goes back to Return of the Jedi.

 

[StudioTan]

Finally had a chance to watch the episode. I thought it started off a bit slow but the team up rescue was fantastic. I loved the look on Yo-yo's face when she was snatching weapons from the police, hilarious.

Also loved Hydra's on-hold music.
