Or Coulson.<br /><br />That Fitzsimmons moment where she looked at him was excellent. We knew what she was thinking. Fitz is still Fitz, except maybe he's not. <br /><br />I was more than ready for Kasius to bite the dust. I only wish Sinara had killed him. Instead, she pretty much died still his servant/slave/whatever.

Especially Enoch will be sorely missed.<br /><br />The episode did belong to Yo-Yo, great scene. Kasius went out with a bang, really good fight scene and the Shotgun-axe delivers again. :)Patrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662838711958747484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-15184059218912975152018-02-03T18:54:29.038-05:002018-02-03T18:54:29.038-05:00I guess I figured if she told her what was up with...I guess I figured if she told her what was up with Coulson she'd be able to know what to look out for to not save him. I suppose you could be right that not going into specifics could make them not try and cure him but I dunno. I still feel that it couldn't be too difficult to just say what it was or at least provide more of a hint, especially since it apparently led to the apocalypse that you're at kind of trying to prevent. And yeah more information could explain this but I got to be honest and say my patience is wearing a bit thin. Just seems there were better ways to use time travel in this show but whatever.<br /><br />It was a fairly well done scene in spite of all that though.

I mean, she said that saving Coulson was the first event in the chain of events that led to the world's end. But I agree that she was very vague in general... except for "let Coulson die", there was no specific instruction. Maybe that was the only instruction needed, we have to wait and see. Regardless, I thought that was the best scene of the episode and one of the best of the season. Emotionally dark and powerful and Natalia knocked it out of the park.Lamounierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225447169375363236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-52344520502381734672018-02-03T17:22:51.082-05:002018-02-03T17:22:51.082-05:00Yeah you were right about being vague on how to ai...Yeah you were right about being vague on how to aim the portal to get them where they want to go. Also based on the next time trailer could they maybe not have aimed the portal a couple months earlier so that they might be able to prevent their reputations from being drenched into the mud. If we're altering the future anyway does it really matter if we decide to change something. I mean as long as they don't encounter themselves they should relatively be fine. <br /><br />I'm kind of hoping Daisy a bit pissed just cause it'd probably be interesting to see. Coulson's been pretty reckless and emotional and there should be some consequences. My totally probably not gonna happen theory for now is that Coulson will be given the blame for all the stuff that happened at the end of S4 in order to clear the names of the rest of the crew. That way they can focus on saving Earth. <br /><br />As for him dying at this point it's either down to the Ghost Rider deal, the TAHITI procedure starting to fail or when he got attacked in this episode. You know it's a shame future Elena couldn't just tell our Elena what was up with him but I guess we still got to be cryptic to fuel the season (and part of why it's been frustrating me so much). Also nice catch to the people who saw the similarities to Coulson's condition and Tony's in Iron Man 2, I probably wouldn't have picked that up. Anyway kind of hoping he does die just to shake things up (Maria Hill is unlikely to replace him but it'd be nice, maybe Agent 13?)<br /><br />So what happened to those other aliens that were bidding on the Inhumans? Did they just hightail it out of there after Daisy escaped. They didn't really go into it that much. Also I really hope she is able to get that implant out of her soon because it's a pretty frustrating narrative device, especially since it seems like there a bunch of things they could try to get the remote to turn it off. Like did none of the Kree transporting the Inhumans in this episode have one of them. I swear if this whole plot only existed to justify turning her powers off (and I guess make Kassius look like an asshole) that's pretty disappointing. Plus the arena/Spartacus stuff was done better in Thor Ragnarok anyway just on the grounds that it didn't take itself as seriously and didn't feel a constrictive.<br /><br />Also kind of weird that that Black Oil steroid thing was never brought up before now. Like I guess it kills the person who uses it anyway (I guess) but setting that up might have been a good move. It also kind of reminded me of Caleb's condition in the Buffy series finale so that's kind of amusing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-67029779204217796592018-02-03T16:19:14.890-05:002018-02-03T16:19:14.890-05:00For a season that I was sure was just going to be ...For a season that I was sure was just going to be a fun romp and set up for Infinity War, it's turned into one of the best shows on TV.<br />I love that they exist in the MCU but are not bound by the other shows or movies. They have their own stories, their own issues and definitely their own character development. Enjoying this season a lot.<br /> I'm hoping that Coulson does not die (again).
