It’s possible, if unlikely, that the final three episodes take place in a very short time frame that wraps the season before the finger snap of doom. Which is like AT MOST 3 a day or two after “the weird stuff in New York”

I was beginning to think this day would never come, the day when Nathan Petrelli finally gets his powers back.

On the preview for the next episode, Talbot looked similar to this...

I thought Mack was being quite hypocritical with his reaction to Elena’s “I was only trying to save you,” after spending half a season spouting that same bullshit every other minute. At least she was actually doing something, all he wanted was to find a gilded cage and lock her in it.

Whichever agent did the lettering and stencil work on the side of the Gravitonium box that read “Danger! Gravitonium” gets my vote for Agent of the Month.

that’s often been how it feels to read Marvel Comics — at any given time, a hero or villain from some other book might make a brief cameo and mention some big storyline going on in their own series, but people who don’t read that series will just get that fragment and have to live with the lack of context.

Also, it was Agent Davis. And I loved the fact that he had this badass story about his scar that nonetheless no one cares to hear about. I can appreciate a character getting meta.

I’m sure she had one. Wong lived in a secret monastery for his whole life but she used to live among humans and needed documents and a surname. Although one would think her American grave would say Jiaying Johnson.

And yet, Daisy was the one who was right in that argument. Elena did it for revenge - she admits it later with Mack and it did nothing to stop the broken Earth future from happening. In fact it ensured Glenn Talbot, Destroyer of Worlds.

I know but I also love it and I kind of wish they actually did a flashback to Davis’s miraculous survival.

I was looking forward to crazy Ian Hart as Graviton, but this works too.

“You see the weird stuff happening in New York?”

I don’t think Daisy is the problem with the team. It’s everyone thinking they know the one true solution to the Earth destruction and them willing to do anything to achieve their vision. It especially true with the Invincibles but no one is exempt. Coulson did it too with forcing Daisy to come back and be the leader.…

“Do we want to talk about the odd attempts to introduce backstory to Agent Thomas? (I even had to go look up his name.) That whole recurring exchange between him and Piper, where she calls out his one scar and luck, felt very strange.”

Even at its most ragtag, Agents of SHIELD will spontaneously generate nameless canon fodder agents we’ve never seen before.

Aw, Talbot. Didn’t see the crazy coming up with that, but I’m sure everything’s going to work out fine. If there’s anybody on the planet I want having godlike powers, it’s good old level-headed Glenn Talbot.

It was a bit of both. Haven’t watched the show since Season 3 so I might have forgotten some things. My bad.

I was just thinking of Agents of SHIELD as an example of a show that has female characters who are attractive (because everybody on TV is attractive) but are never served up as sex objects.

Quake’s evolution is staggering. I adore her. Daisy Johnson is a complicated, flawed, but ultimately kick-ass hero. She’s fantastic.

“Mary Sue Poots” is a TV canon name as given to her by her orphanage.
