The villains become more interesting and the story starts to deliver. This and the next episode are my favorite of this arc. Reading your comment I remembered how much fun I had watching this episode. The end, with Coulson piloting the ship, was such a hoot.<br /><br />Like CelStudios, the second half of the season is great. As a whole, I'd say season five is Agents' better structured season. I love it.Lamounierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225447169375363236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-68091531763826839872022-06-20T08:39:06.129-04:002022-06-20T08:39:06.129-04:00Terrific episode.

I just don't feel that she's truly loyal to him. I could be wrong.<br /><br />Enoch is wonderful. What a great character. And I want to know what he really looks like. Is he a Gray? I also really liked those two make-up moments, Lamounier. And the Fitszimmons scenes. And Coulson as pilot.<br /><br />So maybe I'm enjoying this arc more as it progresses.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-71297673323836331072020-11-04T21:14:16.584-05:002020-11-04T21:14:16.584-05:00Hi, Unknown (I just read your username Enoch style...Hi, Unknown (I just read your username Enoch style). I don't remember very well... Maybe he was just grazed by the bullet? I do recall Simmons patching him up while they cursed Deke for selling Daisy to Kasius.

And great catch, the ER reference went over my head.<br /><br />As for Daisy's inhibitor, I get that there are budget issues and there were already lots of VFX in this episode, which is probably why the producers wanted to keep her without her powers. But I agree with this:<br /><br /><i>Now maybe they couldn't remove it for whatever reason or couldn't find one of those remotes to deactivate it for whatever reason but the fact that none of these options were mentioned at all was weird.</i><br /><br />Exactly. If they had at least *mentioned* or tried something, I would have been okay with it. I mean, Fitz took the mute device out of Simmons' ear without knowing what it was nor if it would make her head explode. It's weird that they didn't even discuss Daisy's situation.<br /><br />As for characters I care about the most, I would have to go with the original five, especially Fitz, Simmons and Daisy.Lamounierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225447169375363236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-20852421825157691512018-01-16T03:25:29.378-05:002018-01-16T03:25:29.378-05:00Perhaps a better alternative would be to put Daisy...Perhaps a better alternative would be to put Daisy in fewer situations where she'd be forced to use her powers. I'm sure you could get real creative with it. Unfortunately as an comic book action show I suppose that would be kind of tricky. Also the whole dystopia space-arc they set up probably didn't help either what with the dangerous situation and the vistas of space (and with the serialized form they went with are gonna be stuck there for a while). Doesn't help that we had to add another expensive power person into the mix (probably for a long term payoff down the line). <br /><br />Definitely down for the return of some standalone episodes if we can afford it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-9099089432363866112018-01-16T02:40:14.198-05:002018-01-16T02:40:14.198-05:00Whenever a show refuses to use a characters power ...Whenever a show refuses to use a characters power or powers down said character it means one thing...Budget.and shield had one hell of a cut this season..I for one think they have navigated it brilliantly so far.<br />I forgive all minor flaws because they always work a certain magic like somehow making Kassius an interesting villain after weeks of annoying me..<br />I loved how pissy Sinara was in this episode...Its like the more she had to speak with these morons the more irritated she got.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-23009542234406027602018-01-16T02:14:15.414-05:002018-01-16T02:14:15.414-05:00Simmons' ear implant was hurting, maybe killin...Simmons' ear implant was hurting, maybe killing her. Removing it was a top priority. Daisy is just a little less formidable with hers, so, it takes a back seat for now.<br /><br />Agents, when some youngster runs under the approaching tank, you follow. Then you lightly tap him on the head and get his unconscious body to safety. In full compliance with "leave no man behind" principle. Even if he is boring.<br /><br />I agree about Enoch. He's great.migmithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06981055611018991476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-76419756043088256222018-01-16T02:02:19.042-05:002018-01-16T02:02:19.042-05:00Congrats on catching up sun bunny.

Also heads up for everybody I there's probably going to be a hiatus after the 10th episode at the beginning of February since the 100th episode has a date that wouldn't align otherwise.<br /><br />I'm in a similar boat though it's more like Daisy, Fitz and then Mack. Everyone else is fine though. Still not sure the writing for them has been as strong as S3 though (though Evil Fitz was pretty cool).<br /><br />The whole thing with Daisy's inhibitor was annoying me. Now maybe they couldn't remove it for whatever reason or couldn't find one of those remotes to deactivate it for whatever reason but the fact that none of these options were mentioned at all was weird. Also it's another repetition of the Framework arc (along with the being captured for being an Inhuman thing) where we have Daisy without her powers again. Isn't removing people's powers the kind of thing Heroes got a lot of crap for. Sure it's nice to see Chloe Bennet/Daisy kick some ass without them but you it's still annoying to keep holding her back. Season 4 wasn't so bad with this but they're starting to push it a bit. Hopefully the repetition of Daisy guilt we might be getting next week isn't too egregious.<br /><br />Also a nitpick I mentioned elsewhere is why did they decide to send up Elena up the shaft by herself when they already established that two people could go up at once. Weren't they kind of pressed for time?<br /><br />Not sure if Flint could travel back in time with them for too long if they plan on altering the future at some point (same with Deke maybe). Paradoxes and all that. Although at this point I'm not sure how much the rules of time are going to be bent since they were originally all "you can't alter the past" when they're probably gonna have to alter time so the MCU can continue for a good long while.<br /><br />The aliens do look a lot better now that you mention it. Don't have that weird turquoise look going on. Also hail the return of Gravitonium.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-45395459601207717262018-01-15T23:28:53.681-05:002018-01-15T23:28:53.681-05:00Guess who's all caught up?!

I read Enoch...Guess who's all caught up?! (me)<br /><br />I read Enoch's teasing May about being a doctor as an in-joke about Ming-Na's role on ER. I hope they're not seriously considering retiring her as a fighter. She's too awesome.<br /><br />Also wondering why Daisy (or, more appropriately, Simmons) didn't remove Daisy's inhibitor. <br /><br />I'm honestly having trouble caring about characters who aren't Mack or Daisy. It's a chronic problem for me on this show.<br /><br />Deke is way too Ward-like to be even remotely trusted.sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.com
