Damn, you really have been gone for a long time.
You know, what kept me from watching Season 3 was moviebob's "Agents of Ship."
I know these shows have to feature this crap... but man, it's a chore to get to the good bits sometimes. I think I was still fresh of the Flash which also had this type of thing. I didn't want to endure it again so soon.
EDIT: And I know Skye became Quake/Daisy. That was part of the season 2 finale. It will be hard to get use to calling her otherwise since she is pretty much an original character appropriating an existing name.
The other way around. She was an existing character hiding in plain sight.
That was the middle of season 2 actually.
But the producers had always planned to introduce Inhumans and for Skye to be one. While I don't know if they always planned to have her also be Daisy Johnson specifically, it seems likely considering they planted the Inhuman seeds so early:
This is from episode 4 of the first season. It went fairly unnoticed when it first aired but it ended up being the alien writing that Garrett and Coulson drew at the end of the season, which then turned out to be a map to the Inhuman city.
It's funny seeing that episode on rewatches. Despite the pain of not being able to mention the word "Hydra" for most of season 1, the writers clearly had a general plan in place.
I'm not sure if this is correct or not, but those letters on the right look like Kree symbols... was it obvious it was Kree from way back in S1E4?
Looks like no more Ward for the season.
I'm out.
Next week is the finale. They haven't confirmed a season renewal yet.
Ah right, thanks.
Just caught up today. This show is firing on all cylinders.
Made me bust out laughing. The white lady's face plus the racist comment was just too much. I'm disappointed no one has made a gif yet.
Fitz has always been a leaf on the wind. He and Simmons were never going to have a happy ending, that has been clear since episode one. The best we can hope for is that Simmons gets taken instead.

Week after next. Finale is on May 16th.
Someone did one, albeit no white lady
I didn't get this.
She was staring at two Chinese women?
Yes?
Uhm yes, she even lived in china
funny thing she changed her name because she was having a hard time finding roles
Okay, that's cool. I had no idea.

Skye should've been a popstar in the Framework.

Makes sense. I think Episode 2 is one of the worst in the series lol
She changed her name because she wasn't getting any work and i doubt AOS is that big of a sell
Oh God, I thought I had forgotten this...
I'm hoping they'll announce renewal soon, but perhaps they're waiting to see if the Writers Guild goes on strike first.

After season 3 I wouldn't have been mad at a cancellation of AoS. It was solid and but I thought the series had already peaked with season 2.
After season 4 I desperately want them to continue it. Best comic book show out there right now.

No one would hire her for non-Chinese roles and she wasn't Chinese enough for Asian stereotype roles.
I wish, I've always found Skye/Daisy the least interesting character in the show. Up there with pre-hydra Ward but unlike him she stayed boring
Didn't Vin Diesel make a short about this exact issue when he was first starting out?
Nah, after she got her powers, she finally became pretty cool imo
Before that, the show kept going on and on about how special she is, which is the most annoying thing ever when said character's actions isn't really matching up to such a proclamation
Now she has powers, and she's really come a long way. The only thing really against her is that people like Jemma, Fitz, and Coulson just be hogging the spotlight with how talented their performances are.
Chloe continues to pass

Didn't she shoot Ward with most cold "fuck you" face before Terrigenisys? I think that, like the show, the character became on it's steady rise to greatness since the Turn Turn Turn.
EDTI: rewatched that scene on the youtube, sorry, was remembering wrong... it wasn't a cold "fuck you" face, it was just "you're my enemy, fuck you".

The problem for me wasn't that she wasn't as special as they made her out to be, in fact I liked it a lot more when she didn't have powers. Back in season 1 she was just a hacker and that was fine but every season she's been getting more and more adept at everything to the point where she's almost flawless. I like her interactions with Coulson, Ward and her father but outside of that she just annoys me.
I thought it was always obvious she was but I guess not to everyone.
Her having a Chinese mother in the show probably should have tipped people off, however.
I know she is, but I can't see it.
My favorite thing about this is that from the point of Turn, Turn, Turn there were quite a lot of people in those early threads already bemoaning how the show would go the trope route and have Ward eventually get a redemption arc and do a face turn and Daisy would still fall in love with him. Nope - he's a persistent enemy of dubious morals at best, whom she treats with outright disgust and then just cold-bloodily shoots point blank in the chest and leaves for dead. There is no reconciliation, no flirting, no "he's the bad guy to her good girl and she'll fall for his bad boy charms".
Ironically, a couple seasons later and we now have Ward 3.0, but that's not our Grant Ward.

EP Jeff Bell in on Marvel's THWIP this week talking AoS.

He really emphasized their love of the old 'What If?' comics, and that spurred on the whole 3rd arc. Also, all 3 arcs will be tied together into a lovely bow of awesome.

Oh yea, true, that was fucking amazing.
I will always love AoS for not doing the obvious thing. Ironically they ended keeping Ward around, but in much more interesting ways rather than do the stupid redemption arc thing
Even when his purpose had run his course, they still ingeniously brought him back as both an alien and now part of the Framework
He's like the CW's version of Wells, except scarier
This comment went from 0-100 super quick lol. Will catch up on this episode tomorrow lol.

Can't wait to see Tripp 3-D printed
You're making this wait unbearable. Two hours more over here.
It's actually the only one I watch. I'm not really too big a fan of the superhero genre. The MCU -- albeit unevenly -- has made me, at times, care quite a bit about these characters and their world. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D most of all.
Admittedly I haven't given other comic book shows much of a chance. My most recent attempt was the first episodes of Arrow. I detested it, heh. D:
