“In what way exactly did she advance the plot of the story? She was the leader of the ATCU, an organization that pretty much has no bearing on the story past this episode. Whose sole purpose for existing was to be exposed as yet another Hydra front, which is collecting inhumans to be part of Hydra.”

Here’s my crazy fan theory. The creature is a body snatcher. The real Will died 14 years ago and IT has been wearing him as meat suit since then. That means that Jemma got jiggy with IT. Episode 8 showed Lash packaged for shipping into the portal. I think they’ll find Wills desiccated body on the planet and be faced…

Yeah, it’s all pretty hazy. I wonder if we will see it clearer in hindsight the moment we find out the truth.

Well, if she didn’t get it then someone on the main team would’ve had to die because he’s normally too rational to fly off the handle. I generally agree with your notion about Marvel movies and women but I’m not so sure that this falls squarely into the ‘fridging’ category. Still, I’m sad to see her go.

That dumbass GF got herself killed. What’d she think Ward was going to do when he saw May’s face? Yeah, yeah I know May set it up, but still not the brightest idea ever. GF always was kinda one sandwich shy of a picnic basket.

And then Ward gives that whole speech later about missing being part of the team and Daisy is like, “nope, still not sorry I shot you.”

(Yawn) done with your little diatribe?

I don’t get why Malick assumes the monster won’t enslave Hydra along with everybody else. He’s assuming it has a sense of honor? That’s not evil.

I actually hope they lean in to the anti-climax full throttle. Like a full on they finally get the Inhuman back to Earth, find a way to contain it enough to communicate, express their plan to take over the world and the Inhuman is just like, “Um.... no thanks?”

I didn’t see anyone mention it, but here’s something that I noticed - Coulson finding the bloodied matchbook, to me, was a callback to the Avengers, when Fury tosses the (faux) blood-stained Captain America trading cards (belonging to COULSON) onto the table to try to galvanize and unite his feuding superteam.

Mack: “What the hell am I supposed to do?”

I was waiting for Ward to ask Fitz or Simmons how they kept the portal open so long, only to have them respond with “Daisy did it!” and then Ward would be all “Who the hell is Daisy?” because no one told him she changed her name from Skye.

... and I can jump off a plane without a parachute like Captain America~

The actress is probably unavailable. She’s mostly a stunt-woman. (She was the primary stunt-double for Bobbi throughout season 2.) She’s currently doing stunts for Gal Gadot over on the set of Wonder Woman.

I could actually hear Coulson yell “Like a glove” as he hit the portal opening.

If I had to lay down money? Next week, Fitz is going to fuck over Ward. Think about it: He’s not the wuss Ward is used to manipulating. He scams terrorists and jumps into wormholes. Ward’s going to assume he’s still the science dweeb, and Fitz is going to make him bleed.

When Son of Coul made that awesome swish into the portal, my wife and I both sat straight up on the couch and (quietly) yelled HOLY SHIT.

There is emerging evidence however, that that is indeed what Socio/Psychopathy is. The unregulated gating of empathy. They feel too much and the brain cant handle it.

I feel like his goals are:

It’s just the old prospector!
