The diviner metal is what killed people. It literally "divined" who was genetically suited to becoming inhuman and killed anyone unworthy. When the terrigen crystals went to the bottom of the ocean, the terrigen dissolved but the diviner metal didn't. So the result is the fish oil will affect people who can become Inhumans but not affect anyone else at all.

So what killed Triplett then? Thought he kicked and broke the activated crystal and its shards got him, not Diviner metal pieces.
That crystal was intertwined with diviner stuff.
he died because he kicked it, it exploded, and a shard of diviner got lodged in his stomach.
he would be alive if he wasn't so reckless and assumed the worst, though it was a air play upon seeing them turn to "stone"
Ok, so the crystal Jiaying used to kill Gonzales was infused with Diviner as well? If so, guess it was from different batch than the "pure" ones that sank to the bottom of the ocean and became fish food?
Edit: Also, what about the crystal that Coulson grabbed and turned his arm to ash?
Sorry for more questions, but faster to get answers here than going back and watching the S2 again.

Diviner infused crystals. upon breaking small shards are sent in every which way, and contact is what you'd expect
Incredible opening sequence. Really cannot wait for next week!
She says that they melted down the old diviners to create new ones, but that the new ones have the metal fused inside. When these ones sank, it dissolved the terrigen but left the metal behind.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
No, the crystals all had diviner metal marbled throughout them. When they went into the water the crystal part dissolved into the water and the metal sank to the bottom of the ocean.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Was that a rebranded Helicarrier or just a new ship?
I like how the opening shot of this season is a smooth transition from the end of the last.

If it's SWORD, I'm going to mark the fuck out.
Its definitely not a hellicarrier, was far too small for that. guessing its a new model of the boat, since it looked like an oversized Quinjet.
No, I'm seriously wondering. I'm investigating the International Fish Oil Standards Program website and am considering emailing them that very question.
It'll be a stand-in for SWORD with a made-up name so as not to step on the movies' toes with any potential future plotlines.
I hope the buzz gives a nice boost to the show, people seem to be really embracing based on reactions to the clip and Daisy and whatnot.
also the new bus or rather mini helicarrier is called the "Zephyr One"

I want this

Oversized Quinjet is good enough. Helicarrier is pretty old tech now anyway. I'm still wondering where they get the budget for all this.

Probably a combination of Fury's reserves from when he transferred everything to Coulson, and I wouldn't be surprised if Maria Hill is sharing resources from Stark Industries with S.H.I.E.L.D. as well, especially after the return of Fury and his hellicarrier at the end of Age of Ultron, since its easy enough for her to say its for Fury now Stark knows he is alive and back.
Besides, we don't know yet if during the break Fury was placed back at the top of the rebuilt S.H.I.E.L.D. (remember Coulson even says to Gonzalez towards the end of "The Dirty Half Dozen" that Fury will want his black box back, which to me implies Fury intended to return to a figurehead role within S.H.I.E.L.D.) which would make that transition and a return to funding even simpler.

I sent that email to the International Fish Oil Standards Program. Hope I get a reply! Then we'll have an idea about how long the break probably is supposed to be.
I know, they mean for it to just span the summer, whatever.

Did they just Fulton extract that dude?
It's just reactions to the opening preview (which is super sick.) No actual other spoilers are out there except for hints from the cast/production as to what happened with Simmons.

It's called Advanced Threat Containment Unit (ATCU). Y'all need to keep up with news about this show better.
LOL, I had the same thought.
Would love to see SWORD/Abigail Vrand.
It'd be appropriate for AoS to get that stuff too, since Whedon created it.
This is Agent Carter related, but until the Season 2 thread opens, I'm posting this fun Hayley tweet here involving Dominic Cooper on the set.

Ohhhh my god. Yes. It's basically everything I wanted.
But the rest of this thread? I'm hitting the lockdown button on opening it again. When I see text spoilers the line has been crossed.

Just finished watching Season 2. Oh man, I had a blast. Looking forward to Season 3!

Pretty hyped but this is getting pushed back to Wednesday viewing for me once the CW is back on. Flash, iZombie and Scream Queens will be my Tuesday night triple-header for the rest of the fall.
Sounds like they do have something in mind, not sure if the restructuring will effect it though.

Jiaying tried to manufacture Terrigen crystals because they were running out. The problem with the process (can't remember if she describes it or not) was that the crystals still had Diviner pieces in the crystal. Therefore the same effect that occurred when touching a Diviner occurred when touching the synthesized crystals.
When the crystals fell into the ocean, the Terrigen dissolved, but not the Diviner metal. Therefore the fish oil pills contain Terrigen, but no Diviner pieces. Therefore they are nonlethal, and only affect potential Inhumans.
Tripp died because the crystal he kicked exploded along with the Diviner pieces, which is what got lodged in his stomach.
I think
Coulson was just fucking with him. Besides, Fury is heading up Avengers Initiative stuff right now.

Some of the responses in that other AoS thread are incredibly annoying. Complaining you don't like a show after watching two or three random episodes, and deciding to start watching the show at Season 3 for... reasons.
How do these people exist?

In all fairness, AoS is an incredibly uneven show. It has amazing episodes followed by the worst kind of network crap followed by flashes of brilliance, and usually wrapped in super low, 90's-like production values. I'm not saying that I hate watch it like I do with The Walking Dead, but there were times where I had to drag myself through it.
Also, could Mack get any more swole?
Bruh.
Needs more fire axe. Seriously, somebody at R&D needs to build him a suped up one.Also, could Mack get any more swole?

You know what else is super annoying? People who like to comment about other threads in threads they post regularly in. Not wanting to engage in debate with others, but feeling fine about whining about them somewhere else.
