I don't love the Pylea arc, but at least it was fun, this storyline was just kind of depressing.<br /><br />Having dropped the show a few episodes into Season 5 when it was first airing, I rewatched the series recently and decided to push through the start of Season 5 and I'm so glad I did because the second half of Season 5 is actually one of my favorite parts of the show, right behind the Framework.CelStudioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789188290026471568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-38934218024703459152022-06-17T23:21:17.057-04:002022-06-17T23:21:17.057-04:00Lamounier, I get where you're coming from.

If we take this "fight to death" completely literally, then he would lose either his best warrior, or his most valuable merchandise. So, what did he expect? I mean, sure, it turned out the best for him — he kept Sinara, and has all reasons to believe he will recapture Daisy; but I highly doubt he expected THAT outcome.<br /><br />(sorry, it's migmit — I'm sick of Google's attempts to protect me)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-22845125380477698332018-01-15T14:30:03.188-05:002018-01-15T14:30:03.188-05:00Daisy was likely prolonging the fight until Fitz m...Daisy was likely prolonging the fight until Fitz made his move - after all, it was his suggestion that she fight to the death. If she won quickly, they'd turn off her powers, and there would go their chance to escape. Fitz was trying to bring everything together - all three in the same room (he didn't know about May), the element of surprise, and Daisy's powers on. Just the gun and the element of surprise knocked off a few of the bad guys, but the escape was sloppy since they turned off Daisy's powers.<br /><br />Um, migmit - you do know what a fight to the death means, right? Kasius didn't plan to have Sinara fight, and if Daisy beat her, the best case scenario would be that she got thrown to the roaches like May. Generally, if you throw a fight to the death, you die. Not that Sinara would be the type to do that anyway.<br /><br />This arc is awesome. It was a trifle too dark for me around episodes 3 and 4, but I really love how they are mixing all the elements - remnants of old Earth, alien tech, Inhumans, the optimism of the team vs. the realism of the other humans, mystery of what really happened, etc.Katie Hart - Pinterest Managerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892763965326103296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-7594239409600833492018-01-09T01:36:49.665-05:002018-01-09T01:36:49.665-05:00OK, I finally caught up with the show. Took me a w...OK, I finally caught up with the show. Took me a while, mostly because this future arc just doesn't click with me. It seems so... unimaginative. Like somebody took a stock dystopian setting and redressed some of the generic characters in SHIELD clothes. So much so that I'm actually glad Tess is dead — she annoyed the hell out of me. Can we please get rid of Deke as well?<br /><br />Can somebody explain to me — why didn't Fitz use the same gun earlier? If it's so easy to knock down all those aliens, why couldn't he just blast his way through them before? In particular, he could save May — well, of course she is going to survive, but in-universe he doesn't know that.<br /><br />And what's the deal with Daisy's fight? What did Kasius plan? That Daisy would kill her opponent, whose name I can't memorize no matter how hard I try? And he honestly expected the latter to just go along with that plan? Even if it is so, why not just have her throw the fight? And why didn't his brother assume that she would throw the fight?<br /><br />So far I'm disappointed with this arc.migmithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06981055611018991476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-44800917685155388182018-01-09T00:43:12.397-05:002018-01-09T00:43:12.397-05:00I'm with you on this arc needing to end. There...I'm with you on this arc needing to end. There's been some good stuff but I'd like to get back to Earth sometime (although we're probably gonna have to deal with more renegade stuff...dammit). Though the suggestion is out there they might have to do some more time travel in order to deal with some of the lingering mysteries (maybe to Agent Carter times hopefully)..though hopefully nothing too too long term. I have less of a problem being used as much as them being used in this particular manner, just seems kind of gruelling or something.<br /><br />Yeah Daisy really shouldn't have been struggling that much in the fight (the Roach explosion thing didn't even occur to me...I was thinking more of her heart explosion trick that she used on Wolverine in the comics...this is just from basic Wiki research). Tis a shame her powers had to be shut off...again. These devices never seem to be around when it's convenient. Kind of hoping she pulls an Darth Vader at the end of Rogue One on these guys but that might be too easy. Also maybe Fitz/Simmons could have saved their proposal until after they helped moved their friend for fell several feet off the ground. Still I guess she's fairly durable and I guess it was a good moment for them.<br /><br />Someone over on AV Club suggested that Flint could potentially be involved in what happened to the Earth. It's certainly possible given the rules of time travel are less clear cut than they were in S3. At least he can cover the expensive power usage while Daisy's been inhibited.<br /><br />Tess' death was one of the more shocking in the series (probably the most for good guy since Rosalind). Not sure if that's necessarilly a good thing here but I can't say it wasn't effective so...<br /><br />Speaking of deaths at least ONE of the main cast has to die by the end of the season right? I mean even putting aside the likelihood of renewal it kind of seems like something that might have to be done. If they were willing to do it I'd put Coulson on the slab just cause it would lead to a heck of a dynamic shake-up (and it kind of feels like the character's arc is nearing its end, unless they got some wacky stuff up their sleeve). And there are plenty of new leader possibilities. Not sure if it would be related to that Ghost Rider deal but either way whole arrangement gonna have to have a pretty good payoff given how lacklustre giving Coulson the Rider was in the S4 finale. More Supernatural Season 3 than Season 10 (though the latter did at least result in a much better season so mixed blessing there).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-90261722380551925522018-01-09T00:06:25.989-05:002018-01-09T00:06:25.989-05:00The Daisy and Jemma conversation was the best thin...The Daisy and Jemma conversation was the best thing ever. <br />I get that some people don't like all of this new arc...But its what makes Shield the best show...They fully commit to the project and idea they are doing...Something other shows like Flash could take a leaf out of especially when all they have to do is adapt existing storylines...Flashpoint and Barry in the speed force all done in less than an episode...<br />Also the Kree have been heavily involved in the series since season 1...I think the build up to this has been nothing short of masterful storytelling.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
