Anyone who doesn't like Mack is crazy. Hes so reliable and just a good dude. Hes the kind of character I wouldn't mind drinking a beer with.

Totally disagree, but I do worry it predescribes season 4 drama for them.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Given the complete abandonment of the Fitz/Mack stuff being hinted at in S2, I'm inclined to agree.
im' not sure consent laws count if you're dead
considering the fact that Hive can control dead bodies, and can spread his parasites around at will, i see no reason he can't control multiple bodies at once, escpeially two, very able bodies
You mean something like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMam6Fj_uaU
Who's head was Talbot referring to? Zemo? Also: you really should not want to use head allegories when talking shit at Hydra, Talbot. =/

Has anyone made the connection between Fitz saying that picture of space is beautiful and the SHIELD agent being killed in space? (I'm sure lots of people have noticed that already, I'm just slow)

don't you put that out there
plus, doesn't an inhuman need to be turned before they can be controlled?

She was an inhuman all along, cue flashback.
yes but HIVE is always inside a walking human corpse anyway
maybe he can control all corpses, and he doesn't just kill the inhumans first because he genuinely believes he's supposed to lead them into his utopia or whatever
Hive will be treated like a virus. The cure will heal that and then Brett will be back to being Grant Ward

...With all the knowledge from the other bodies / minds, so he's now an expert on even more weapons / fighting styles.
Becoming a husk of a man with great hand/eye coordination.

Wouldn't they have noticed something on Simmons if she died? Some sort of trauma?

Just joking, I'm not a fan of Wardmaster. As long as they keep Brett on the show I'm happy.

Nah, Mack can't die. I won't allow it.
It'll be Mr I Melt Metal Man. The first new guy Daisy recruited to her team, the cross is a red herring (we'll think it's her then that is too obvious, she gives it to Mack, we think it's him but it's not). Mr Melty would then have the emotional impact on Daisy of being responsible for his death (training him, bringing him into this, maybe even killing him in Bad Daisy mode).
Either that or one of Fitzsimmons will go because the two nerds can never be happy.

Kills the parasite but keeps the body (and host mind) alive.

Imagine if Hive made Jemma had sex with Fitz to repay him (via mind control or something like that), like if Ward wanted to atone for his sins after the ocean thing. Fitz would blast himself off into space with Hive to kill himself because of the remorse and Hive because of what he did so far.

Can totally see Hive getting killed (or removed or banished back to the planet or whatever) and Ward being ok. Like Hive repaired the damage to the body so it's alive again but without Hive driving it's now blank. Like Ward is alive, well but no memory, or just fragments of memory. This somehow gives him the ability to perfectly copy any action he sees performed and becomes Taskmaster.
You guys are never going to let that go, are you?

Never.

They should do with Taskmaster the same thing they did with John Garrett's final form, it would be hilarious.
This dead Jemma theory is grim as fuck lol. But yeah, it doesn't work as far as what we know of how Hive works.
-For humans he needs to physically jump from one dead human body to another in order to be able to control it. He retains memories from all the hosts he used, but can only use the body of a single one. The body remains technically dead, but he's able to restore it by sucking the life from other bodies.
-For Inhumans he applies a different form of control, more akin to a hivemind (lol). He makes other Inhumans feel good for doing what he wants and in turn they become heavily "addicted" to him. As of now this form of control doesn't seem to have any limitations, it continues as long as Hive is alive and his parasites remain inside the infected Inhuman.

Talbot: We're about to defeat Hydra now, and...oh my god, Captain America is cleaning house. Coulson, are you getting this? And there's Iron Man! He's lighting them up real good! This is unbelievable. Uh oh, it's all over now. Here comes the Hulk. Coulson, I wish you could see what I'm seeing!

Seriously though.
This was a strange subplot they brought up from almost nowhere.
Is that it for HYDRA now? Just HIVE and co left? (And Zemo I suppose)

Well, yeah, they had to do something to show they got rid of Hydra, given the back half of this season established that there was still an entire ruling body that was just somehow exceptionally well-hidden and didn't bother asserting themselves when Ward claimed Hydra for himself. Written out about as fast as they were written in.

Hydra is dead.., until they need them to comeback again.

that's like the 2nd or 3rd time they've claimed to wipe out all the heads of Hydra

Need to get rid of Hydra for the MCU where Hyrda was wiped out in Age of Ultron. Gotta keep pretending it's all connected.

I thought the exact same thing.

That's not true. Baron Zemo is around for Civil War. Hydra will always come back in some form or another.

Coulson having US Agent and Taskmaster ' s photonic shield was a cool touch.
I haven't watched CW yet either, but I think it's supposed to be:
-If you only watch the movies: the Avengers were successful in eliminating all the remnant active Hydra bases in Age of Ultron.
-If you watch AoS: SHIELD and the USA government continued to fight Hydra on the sidelines and were successful in eliminating the organization in the latest episode.
