As soon as I saw that scene this post came to mind
And I laughed
He controlled both the buckle and the belt itself independently. It was the belt (which is not metal) that was wedged in the door. Fitz found the buckle on the ground close to where he picked it up.

The last 3 episodes have been really solid imo. I'm liking where this season is going now

Those containment modules just roll off a factory line, don't they? They have one for Lash and another one for Giyera (which obviously didn't work).
Mack didn't try hard enough to choke out Giyera. Smart move by Fitz to give him a non-loaded gun.

Feeling the exact same, especially since we'll be getting more inhumans on screen soon. Thought the first half stumbled a bit. Though the Coulson and Rosalind interactions were entertaining.

LOL introduces the daughter, death flag for her raised instantly. I guess we weren't meant to care anyway but still, lol.

Well yes, that too.
Yo-Yo obviously the traitor, obviously the one that dies in space.
Goddammit I liked yo-yo
Some might say...too obvious.
Good
Giyera fucking shit up.
Nice to see Dacascos having a chance to do his thing for a bit in the fight with May. I still feel that it's a loss to get an actor with skills in different styles of martial arts in a show like this and have him be character with a power that gives him no reason to use them.

Giyera-May fight was pretty weak. May with a crotch shot is bad form and out of character. Couple of out-of-place slow-mo parkour bits, and too many overhead shots that scream "stunt doubles". Compared to the May-Agent 13 fight and even some of the May-Daisy training it wasn't very impressive.
Yeah, not saying it was great, but back when they announced his casting I got hyped for some major moves. Then they made him telekinetic.

Hunter started out in the comics. He's the director of STRIKE, SHIELD ' S British counterpart.
Gideon is going to try and help SHIELD kill Hive. That's how his vision will come true.
The Elite
BOSS
He's not a good guy. He's not a bad guy.
Actually far more annoying, TV Tropes pointed out to me he wasn't going by Whitehall at the time, they should have been using his original name. ARGGHHH.
Oh man Malick's daughter. She was already giving off replacement wife vibes and then "when mom died" and then "I'll have a scotch waiting for you" and I wanted to scream.
Glad that is over with.
Loved the Hydra guy going "That is Grant Ward!"
The episode with Mack's brother was stupid and predictable, but not as stupid as the Russia episode. The episode Spacetime shit was also stupid because it didn't seem to really serve any purpose other than to hype HiveWard up more (worth it). The fight between Malick and Daisy is nonsense. There's no reason why she couldn't wipe the floor with him. Did she forget how to use her powers? Also tired of seeing the Yoyo-dead-in-space teaser that they've been trying to push since the season returned. Lol.
Season 3 is pretty rocky. When the scenes are good it's pretty good, but never as great as season 2 was, but when it tanks it kinda almost feels like season 1 all over again. :/

She's on the SW team call list, IIRC.
This is a dead-on assessment. That they're now at the S1 cast -Ward + Lincoln/Mack REALLY doesn't help.
Things I really like about Season 3:
- Ward's great, HiveWard is even better.
- Daisy taking control and having authority is really nice to see.
- SHIELD vs Hydra feels like a proper spy vs spy ongoing status quo now, both operate in the shadows and aren't supposed to exist, and they have fully staffed bases and resources.
Things I don't care for at all:
- The Lash thing with May and Andrew really fizzled out, it's salvageable.
- The Bobby/Hunter thing was bad but the way they removed them from the show was even worse.
- For all the hype they had for Secret Warriors, they seem to be doing jack shit with it. Really disappointed.
- The entire season lacks a strong anchor point. In Season 2 the Inhumans served as both a fun mystery and a strong anchor point for all the heroes and villains in terms of motivations. Nothing like that here, feels like everyone is just treading water until something hits (is Civil War doing to SHIELD what Winter Soldier did to SHIELD in S1?).

She's also played by Bobbi's stunt double fwiw.

Is it not rather the opposite?
The buckle was used to open the door:
And the rest of belt was on the floor:
I'm hoping Lincoln's backstory is unreliable as told by him because god that was cliche and lame. Pleaseeeere let him be a traitor or something interesting for once in his existence.
I miss my Bobbi so much. T_T
Show is super sloppy lately but I'm hoping next week picks up with the SW formation after 15 fucking episodes. They never should have teased their arrival.

How did he get the buckle in his cell, and is he so powerfull he can still use his powers inside the cell, even though it's designed to negate them?
He grabbed it when the cell was still open (the scene where he's starting to wake up). I think he made the tablet move as a distraction and get the belt at the same time.

When the S.H.I.E.L.D. team was transporting him to his cell, I think he was able to get the buckle inside his cell just in time before Coulson said to the team to get out of the cell and to close the door.
We don't see where the buckle is or went...

That's my guess. The plot is pretty sluggish even compared to the first half of the season.

Hmm still pretty sad that AOS is so reactive instead of standing on its own more . The recent interview on Jimmy Kimmel seems so pathetic , AOS can't even says that its really all connected.
That's my guess. Lash is a check and balance for Hive, I'm guessing.

They've pretty much all but gone out of their way to say this. What with terrigenesis providing needed powers at a given time.
As soon as the serum failed and they had him locked up, I figured Coulson would just drop him on Hive like his own personal Hulk and...

Totally forgot to factor that in. Huh. Guess I'll watch and see if these next couple of episodes hint at the movie at all. Movie was great, btw..
That's the issue, unlike Winter Soldier or halfassing involvement in Ultron, I feel something like the Accords is moot if the Agents are already government lapdogs.
SHIELD still isn't public so maybe the conflict will arise from making themselves known again vs not?

Cool episode. I still think Whitehall was a much better villain than Feckless Evil Old Man, but the action was more or less solid and it is so nice to see more SHIELD tech in use. A marqued improvement over the terribad episodes of previous weeks.
Hiveward delivered.
Just look at this animu motherfucker.
