Ridiculous.

Daisy and Ghost Rider are going to debate?

What sort of madness is this?

If they're really good we might get some mutual mass debators.

That's a bold strategy, Cotton.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

I think my favorite part of this episode was the bald ghost raving like a madman but nobody could hear him.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Ming Na was/is the voice of Mulan... And Aki from Final Fantasy:TSW but let's continue to forget about that movie. I forget that she's actually been working for like 30 years.

First thing I thought of too.

 

[Jay Shadow]

I like this new Director dude. He's definitely giving off Jeffrey Mace/knockoff Captain America vibes but the Inhuman bit gives me pause.

I think it's just a new origin for an old name. Daisy wasn't an Inhuman either until Marvel retconned her backstory to better match AoS.

I do wanna watch Uncle Tim, so a smart decision on ABC's part.

Watch Luke Cage slowly.

lol

So apparently the closed captioning gave away who the Director is.

Solid get and an easy one to work with. I'd expect he stays around for a while then.

Think he will be a good director? Maybe even a Grand one?

 

[StudioTan]

I am REALLY loving this season so far, even though it's just 2 episodes. Great stuff.

Man, I don't think they'd do that storyline without Cap. Daisy and Coulson aren't strong enough to anchor that on the other side.

Yeah it is nice to dream, I am still amazed we got Nuke

I'm amazed he got out alive as if we're going to be seeing him again.

We're getting Nuke again. Jessica's whole thing for the next season has to relate to the faux-Super Soldier program he came from.

looking at his IMDB, he wouldn't be hard to get if Marvel wanted too

Who doesn't have a bootleg super soldier program? They hand those out like family dollar circulars. Hell Bronsonlee probably has one in his attic.

 

[anaron]

They didn't say Jeffrey's full name though, right?

glad that panned out tho!

I'm honestly expecting them to tie Cage's powers to the same program. Might as well get all their cheap Captain Americas from the same in-universe source.

 

[BrokenFiction]

You get a super soldier! You get a super soldier!

 

[Slayven]

When i first say him, dude i thought "Damn this dude is huge".

Anybody else was hoping Mack was going to get zapped by that chamber and get powers?

I am disappointed

It always bothered me folks keep chasing the SSS, when you obviously have better shit out there. Luke Cage, Wonder Man, etc.

I thought it was going to be similar to the thing in S2 of Agent Carter that zapped Dr. Wilkes

 

[fallengorn]

Turn him into Bushwacker. He can have his shotgun-axe anytime.

 

[anaron]

I love how packed this season is so far.

Ghost Rider/Darkhold, AIDA/LMD, SHIELD returning to the public, Quake being Quake

 

[OdysseusVA]

Yeah, Netflix needs to get a Ghost Rider show going. I've been zoning out until his next scene.

 

[mreddie]

So May flew over the Cuckoos Nest

And 2 week break because PENCE/O'MALLEY

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Same as the old one? Not quite. What follows are my stray observations, ideas and things I found interesting in no particular order:

• Who is the new director? Is he supposed to be Patriot?
• Whoa, the Darkhold? The actual, honest to Chthon, Darkhold? That's... interesting.
• I'm guessing these people aren't normal-ass spirits, either.
• Seems besides the hallucinations, the sprits cause extreme paranoia.
• Daisy, why did you mention his brother? You know you're gonna get wrecked.
• Also, who trapped all these ghosts? Why did they have the Darkhold? So many question.
• Holy shit, where are they taking May? The people she was on the quinjet weren't the congresspeople, right? Where they just generic S.H.I.E.L.D. mooks?
• Wait, so how is Ghost Rider causing the triads to work with the skinheads and for them to be armed by the Watchdogs?
• Piper, it is not appropriate to 'do' your CO, no matter how bangin' she may be.
• We're never getting an Agent Carter continuation are we? I'm sad.
• Actually, isn't the Darkhold way above S.H.I.E.L.D's paygrade? Shouldn't that be taken care of by W.A.N.D?
• Similarly, shouldn't Doctor Strange; or I guess the Masters of the Mystic Arts be all over the Darkhold?
• I like that the Rider never even questioned wether to kill the spirit; souls corrupted by the Darkhold have got to go.
• I liked Coulson giving the tour; of course he know when it was built. The way he bashfully responded to the question was cute.

So, that was a fun episode. Can't wait for the next one next wee- What? A break? We're back to the random breaks? God damn it, that killed all the momentum the first season had! Fix your shit America!

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

It always bothered me folks keep chasing the SSS, when you obviously have better shit out there. Luke Cage, Wonder Man, etc.

In the case of Cage, there probably wasn't sufficient data to figure out how he was made. His origin was that a prison guard tampered with the experiment in order to kill him.

 

[Exploratory]

This is my favorite show on TV right now. I mean Flash and TWD aren't back yet and neither is Vikings but for now AoS has that title.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Wow. That thread title change.

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Wow. That thread title change.

???

That's always been the title.

 

[BLACKLAC]

First 2 episodes have been lit, good job AoS crew.

 

[Wingfan19]

Fairly certain now that our SHIELD MCU crossover episode will be all up in that magic shit. Doc Strange gonna be showing up on SHIELD to lay out some fools (I wish).

 

[anaron]

I think my favourite thing was Quake boosting herself onto the car. They're doing waaaayyy cooler powers demonstration

 

[HooYaH]

Is it me, or did they CG the car at the end as it was driving off? Probably cheaper to CG it then close a street down for filming. Got to pay for Ghost Rider effects.

Ties everything together again to the rest of the Agents of SHIELD plotline and keeps them from retreading failed Super Soldier program plotlines like they did in The Incredible Hulk and Jessica Jones.

They haven't really explored or used it enough to really retread it though. And plus, it wouldn't have been a failed serum if Jeffrey had gotten his powers from it.

Did whoever use that device to turn them into ghosts or where they powering the device in some way?

Looks like it was just there to contain them and/or that chamber is what transformed them
