Being abused does not absolve people of their choices. Ward was given MULTIPLE chances in the show itself to be contrite. He took none of them. He chose to be a bad guy.

Fitz remains an Agent (of SHIELD), he was never just a guy sitting in the lab, even from season 1.

They could show the pile of mail without the specific zoom in to the envelopes.

Just read our Papers…

She had the gauntlets in the opening episode - but then she hasn't gotten into her full quake outfit in the last two episodes. They never really have explained what the gauntlets do, and Daisy being hurt is something the show created.

No, it isn't, and I get to say that as a Panamanian.

Daisy has been less than 100% the entire time, and she has been on those meds the entire time her arm has continued to deteriorate, AND now her supply is cut since Elena has been outed as her source.

Did anyone catch the address on the envelopes in the last scene? They specifically pan into the pile of mail, so obviously the address was meant to be significant in some way.

Well, in the comics is seems that being a latent Inhuman sometimes worked like a recessive gene - not everyone in a family will be one - like how neither of Ms. Marvel's parents appear to be latent Inhumans.

I doubt the show in season 2 had the ability to do anything but have SHIELD underground. A lack of SHIELD is key to the plots of Age of Ultron and Civil War, and the needs of the movies greatly outweigh the needs of the TV shows.

The fight sequences were really good. Unlike Alex I don't think this show has ever had a problem with their fights - at their worst, they are adequate, and they have had several very good ones, including two this episode. Not huge fan of the whole strobe light effect, but what they did with Yo Yo and the glow stick…

Well, except on the one show you seem to hate, which is AoS - they kill plenty of bad guys in that one.

And yet live TV remains one of the few reliable commercial delivery systems.

"And who exactly are the World Security Council"

"Remember what the UN Security Council's plan for handling the Chitauri was in Avengers?"

The the Avengers are put under arrest and in a prison apparently run by the US - that is why Ross is there. I guess the movie decided that showing more that one high functionary of the US government was too much.

JJ's handling of Jessica's powers was one way in which that series did subpar. In terms of their abilities in the comics, this show was much more faithful to that than JJ.

If you want to argue purely from "canon" then lets get canon right - the UN didn't "put Ross in charge" of enforcing the Accords. He happens to be the US Secretary of State while the US is a signatory, and happens to base the Avengers.

The creation of Ultron is really the ONE best piece of evidence for why oversight was necessary - it was created using alien tech by Tony Stark, Avenger.

I will pipe in that Agents of Shield has had a large cast of empowered female characters now for years (hell, one of the biggest moments of the show is their female co-lead becoming a superhero).
