Sorry, misheard. Still be cool if it was linked was an IL storythough.

At the very least she has a funeral to attend and a sonic device to pick up.

One for the deep fans here: I was kind of hoping the Apocalypse Virus was either going to be Apokolips or instead of just a virus, a person: In the comics a minor heroine called Infectious Lass (with the power to cause any disease) was thrown into the timestream and it would have been a cool variation on the outbreak

If this show is a hall of limitless possibility then the writers are too timid to even enter the lobby. You don't have to do timey-wimey paradox plots every week, but this episode at least flirted with removing a major figure of history. The writing on the show is constantly lazy and instead of thrilling with us

I was all 'FINALLY someone remembered!' Generally the show is all about why they can't use those powers and it's a huge frustration. It'd be great if they have Firestorm start doing other stuff than throwing fireballs around and they could maybe even save money if they do the sfx low-key.

They may have said Inhumanity, my sound system isn't really the latest.

That's the explanation they gave for Inhumans previously and in this episode itself. I like the idea that it's a self-imposed belief system, lot of story potential in that kind of thing.

Half the time they were directly telling us 'Oh that's the same as the vision' instead of anything else. The training-for-it montage was clever, but the rest was just rote.

Don't they go around introducing themselves to people as Shield half the time anyway? Not the brightest bunch of agents when it comes to the day to day stuff.

One of the best things about this show is that it trusts it's audience. Major explaining his reasoning, flawed or not, to Ravi is far more interesting than two hunk-types glowering inarticulately at each other as we so often see on scifi shows (and some recent movies).
Major on positivity brain was funny but I hope

Aren't the Spiderbait & 'Gurge songs about the same A&R guy? There was a third by another band, but I can't remember it.

Bets on Clive being in peril from a defrosting storage shed?

I love that he's playing the same guy from the movie, but further on. He might be a bad guy, he's certainly taken on darker colours. Whether that's ultimately good or bad isn't set in stone.

There have whole movies and tv series, let alone Marvel comics, about just how unchangeable visions of the future are, so Fitz saying that it *must* work the one way was not only annoying but just bad science. Throw in the wonky ways Inhuman powers work & there was nowhere near enough evidence to pronounce this and

Valencia needs to do more than a few of her own mental breakthroughs before this becomes a possibility.

That dynamic has been there since the scene where she sung the West Covina duet reprise in the pilot (and reinforced lots since). It was honestly how Rachel Bloom acted in that one scene that got me coming back to this show.

Because people can be lied to and manipulated a lot easier than asteroids can.

The thing that I loved about this series was the slow realization of just how the main characters fit together.
At first I thought it was going to be the story of strangers who cross paths but as it becomes clearer there is indeed a central link I started enjoying it more.

"How many sleeping pills have you had?"
"So, SO many!"

If you want to get all logic-y about it remember that Rebecca is damn smart and occasionally manipulative and the what's-happening-back-home scenario was entirely consistent with what she knows about everyone.
It works for Sherlock and his ilk, but I'm fine with dream ghost magic.
