The stinger for Apocalypse happens 46 years before this film so there's still plenty of time for Essex Corp/Mister Sinister to turn up - perhaps in New Mutants or X-Men 7 or Gambit etc.

I'm hoping Tony Stark makes a grand sacrifice during the Infinity War films.

The timeline splits during the 1973 portion of Days of Future Past;

Not this season. Having three distinct but connected arcs works better than dragging one story out like the Netflix shows do. Plus, each AoS episode has to work as it's own little story.

We got into it travelling around Asia - breakfast was usually black tea, egg and toast. Even though we are now back in the UK my wife still only drinks black tea.

My first taste of Chai was from a street vendor in Kolkata, served in a little clay cup. When finished you throw the cup on the floor (it naturally bio-degrades and is washed into the drains). And each day new ones are made from the clay from the river bed!

It's the type of milk that makes the difference. Normally in the UK we use regular milk but in HK they use Evaporated Milk - a completely different thing.

Black Tea is quite nice though. Although it needs to be in a glass with lots of sugar.

I tried this at the top of Victoria Peak in Hong Kong - and it was pretty disgusting. Very thick, rich and sickly.

No, I think it just seems to be going somewhere in the recent episodes.

AoS has a different tone but this season is on par with best of the Netflix shows (which seem to have length/pacing issues recently)

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D is the best comic/superhero related TV show this season.
The Inhuman 'royal family' will feature in their own TV show so I was thinking of them rather than the other Inhumans.

And Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and Inhumans!

I hope this happens. Even if he is a minor villain in the first act to set up a larger, more blockbuster style threat for the main film.

I liked this episode. This half of the season is already better than the first half as it feels like stuff is happening - even in a slower episode.

I'd be suprised if it happens. It feels like this IMAX/TV show is very much it's replacement.

Now do I do the same as Supergirl (not watch it until it is announced as part of the Arrowverse, then binge watch it and rather enioy it) or do I just watch it deom the beginning and assume it will eventually become part of the Arrowverse?

In theory, but we've yet to have them mentioned in the movies.

Surely these sort of things (e.g. more than one draft/writer) have always gone on in Hollywood but now every single event is reported and made into a big deal for clicks - either as great if MCU or disaster if DCEU or somewhere in between for Fox.

So the land that Summerland is on was "inherited in the 40's" and the centre/buildings were "built 30 years ago" - so when does that suggest this is taking place? Late 1970's?
