I sympathize with Talbot. He's always 5 steps behind the plot and forced to go along with things on faith that SHIELD isn't lying, or that people are who they say they are.

I guess where I'm going is that as a supernatural being The Spirit of Vengeance can go anywhere it needs to — real or virtual.

I'm wondering if Ghost Rider can go wherever he wants with regard to the Framework. Ghost Rider/Robbie will probably persuade Mack to leave The Framework.

Right. It seemed like it was possible she'd been collecting and cataloguing various Inhuman abilities and incorporating them into the genetics of her new body. Teleporting is unlikely the only thing she can do; I'd think she'd have any ability we've seen previously from an Inhuman, like Quake's.

- Mace dying was pretty transparent over the course of the season. The character was literally begging for a hero's death. Never say never, but it seems like his story ended the way it was always intended. If the show wasn't on the cancellation bubble, maybe he'd have a future, but I think that's it for The Patriot.

I had hoped Stark would "find out" around the time of Civil War. From his position now, he should know or at least know that SHIELD has gone public.

I feel like a Netflix or ABC movie is how that would play out.

I keep thinking a shortened fifth season is the likely solution, returning after Inhumans finishes up.

Maybe after Fitz experiments on her, she escapes to find Cal and her mother— so she can get full terregenisis.

I'd say AoS under-served it's entire concept, but served it's characters fine.

That's definitely a way out, but the choices of the show leans in favor of it being the real Fitz and giving him a season 5 arc.

Probably, but Hydra always comes back, and I'm guessing this is the means by which some thread or element of Hydra returns to the real world.

More of the Netflix shows need to take a cue from AoS and DD s2 — break up the season. Tell more than one story.

Let's see if the show does the really brave thing and kills off an original cast member.

So far. We haven't really gotten to know Framework May. Though she does have the scary scowl down pat.

Yeah I'm really surprised the Netflix and CW shows haven't taken cues from the way AoS breaks down a single season.

I can see Ward getting out, but I don't necessarily think he'll be a series regular.

If there's a season 5 I'd assume that's when we'll dive into the Fitz's father subplot.

That's probably the only bit that's bugged me so far — Jemma outright says that the world isn't real on more than one occasion, and Mace and Ward haven't yet refused to lift a finger until she explains what she means.

My guess is that's when Ghost Rider re-enters Mack's story.
