I didn’t think it possible in season one but AoS has managed to make Daisy Johnson my favourite on screen superhero. I wish she could show up in other MCU shows/films (or get that Agents of SWORD spin-off) because it feels like such a waste to drop the character now. And her relationships with all the members of the

Everyone uses kilometres (and metric system) except a few English speaking weirdos (even adding you all up it’s like 5% of humanity). ;P

Of course it’s not WWI. It’s a dream. And since that dream puts together a lot of real and fictional elements from various times it’s hard to say decisively what belongs to when.

Still, those trenches look very WWI (in WWII and later photos they are usually more simple) and the way it’s in black and white also made me think he’s dreaming up something he saw on screen not experienced. 

As kids played in the open spray of a busted fire hydrant and the army recruited young men outside a busy shop corner, decades blurred into a single never-ending moment.

For me it’s the people always forgetting that all of us start our lives as a low probability event. Our parents had to have sex (or fertility treatment) in that exact moment and had to produce gametes that went through that specific meiosis with those specific genes ending in chromosomes after crossover recombination

Or Talbot didn’t exist. Or Hydra didn’t built the machine. Or Talbot didn’t become Graviton. We don’t know how it went there. I would love if SHIELD saving the day only for Avengers to fail to stop the other invasion was part of official MCU but once they started doing time travel in season 5 they always had that denia

Yes, the most commonly used time travel mechanics in fiction is horrible. The whole Back to the Future type of thing when on one hand you can be erased by changes but they also don’t change you in any other way - memory, personality, etc. And then of course all the paradoxes created along the way. And I always liked

I don’t see why having access to Pym tech would indicate mid-Blip since all the Pyms were gone and Scott was trapped in Quantum Realm so there couldn’t share the tech and the time travel this way was only invented for Endgame. Access to Time Stream explanation for helping to invent it makes much more sense but that

What I meant was that the world, or at least US, shown during the Blip is full of trash and abandoned places (buildings, boats, sports arenas). The world we see in AoS is brand new and shiny and no one is mourning.

I loved how the show both reinvented itself in every season sometimes half a season) and a stay true to the characters and their arcs all the way through.

Thank you! It helps me order my thoughts and it was great to have a space to do that here.

I would like to thank you, Alex, for these reviews and giving us space to talk and obsess over the show. Or just spill out all that came to our minds (often excessively in my case). It was fun ride and I’m happy to have done it together.

I’m hoping Deke will intervene early about Ward parents and both Grant and Christian grow up not evil. And save Elena’s family too.

She stated with nothing and now girl has everything - family, boyfriend, spaceship, superpowers.

We don’t know but I suppose it doesn’t matter. I think either stay on Earth or build themselves Chronyca-3 (time travel to save Chronyca-2 just means another alternate timeline). It’s a happy ending so I suppose it’s whatever they chose.

She may not have it in original timeline but they had Malick since 1950s. They could’ve easily attacked them earlier.

I loved all the final references and call backs. From 084 to Hand and Grace to Lola. I loved that Piper and Flint were back and that Davis got resurrected. I loved the one final tie-in into movies with Endgame quantum real time travel even though it looks like Snap didn’t happen in the timeline of Agent’s of SHIELD

I also loved the construction of the story.
