Where, Ada is an sentient android.<br /><br />Turns out that Marvel's Aida has been around since 1985 in the Marvel books. Sort of. <br /><br />https://imagecomics.com/comics/series/alex-ada<br /><br /><br />http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence_Data_Analyser_(Earth-712) garybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637500979727068557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-47532587778855464582016-09-23T00:49:38.893-04:002016-09-23T00:49:38.893-04:00I suppose it was piloty, but it was a pilot for a ...I suppose it was piloty, but it was a pilot for a show I'm very interested in. The show seems darker and more intriguing.<br /><br />I don't know who the new SHIELD director is, but I don't think it's a Koenig. Getting in the way of Coulson and his team seems like something he absolutely wouldn't do. I'd say it's someone government-appointed.Mariannahttp://www.mariannahorn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-23896068373548581262016-09-22T14:40:14.139-04:002016-09-22T14:40:14.139-04:00I didn't think it was a mess, but the various ...I didn't think it was a mess, but the various plot threads didn't mesh together well. I'm having trouble buying that Coulson and May would just relinquish control of SHIELD to someone they don't seem to trust without a fight. There was an entire story arc in season two about Coulson fighting for control of SHIELD for crying out loud.

Although i see where you are coming from as you highlighted some flaws i didn't see.<br /><br />It was not a mess but i agree that it was somewhat pilot like..<br />But that was the aim so they succeeded. AoS season 1-3 was a pretty serialized and contained story which ended all the respective arcs that began in season 1. How could the show carry on without a soft reboot.<br />The time jump was made clear at the end of last season so should not have been a surprise.<br />While i agree there was alot of exposition (tell) they did (show) alot while this was going on..I felt they made a good balance of showing and telling, while retaining some mystery...What is the point if everything you want to see happens or is resolved in the first episode. An example when Yo Yo come to see Mack..<br />Shield is government run again and out of the shadows due to the Sokovia accords.<br />Coulson who is still presumed dead can no longer be the leader of Shield can he. <br />Also these are the consequences of of lasts seasons events. Despite how heroic the team is, from a logical standpoint an Inhuman god was unleashed on earth due to them and they told no one...Yes they won but that's beside the point..I find it realistic that some oversight would happen to their team.<br />Yo Yo and Mack have not even been on a date yet so i don't see how alot could have happened. Again i think you missed the part with the Sokovia accords and the kind of man Mack is.<br />Really disagree with the Jemma 'spent a solid part of last season being a victim'.<br />I don't recall that at all at any moment..Even when she came back traumatized she was mostly upset of Fitz finding out she wanted to go back and why. Yes she was part of a triangle (that never really existed to me) with two men trying to save her but given the circumstances how could Will and Fitz not try regardless of the fact that Jemma was being a badass. Shes no May or Daisy in the field but is just as tough if not tougher.<br />Fitz and Simmons hardly see each other at work...May is sectioned off with the new recruits, Coulson and Mack are in the skies for 6 weeks at a time and Daisy has been gone for 6 months. <br />The team is split and cleverly done.They remain assets to Shield but no longer THE TEAM.<br />The android is an LMD (Life model decoy) something i expected the Koenigs to be, she could be used badly but in the comics they are mostly good.<br />Daisy seems to to be in that suicidal self destruction stage of her exile...Loved that the Ghost rider recognized she was not 'evil' despite her attack and powers against his possessed form.<br />Good start to Marvel opening up to the 'magic' side..With Doctor strange coming up and also Iron fist coming early next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-58351652787057485112016-09-21T18:41:05.119-04:002016-09-21T18:41:05.119-04:00I've never read the comics, but I heard there ...I've never read the comics, but I heard there were actually four Ghost Riders (five if you count the ex-cowboy who's vehicle of choice was his horse — I think he made an appearence in the first Cage movie).<br /><br />When Yo-Yo walked into that plane, which is like The Bus but not, I thought for a second it was Bobbi. No such luck.<br /><br />All in all, it wasn't as exciting as I hoped. Something feels wrong and I can't exactly figure out what.<br /><br />As for the new director: Koenig would be cool, but a) which one? and b) I think Gemma said explicitly that she doesn't know this guy, while in season 2 Koenigs weren't always on screen, but they were supposed to be working closely with the rest of the team, so, they should know each other well.migmithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06981055611018991476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-22433472119649177872016-09-21T16:06:26.093-04:002016-09-21T16:06:26.093-04:00sunbunny, I had a very different reaction to this ...sunbunny, I had a very different reaction to this episode. I dropped AoS a couple of episodes after the midseason finale last season because the hook, for me, was gone. But this episode really brought me back into the show. I thought it was amazing.<br /><br />Since I took a long break from the series, I didn’t mind the amount of changes. May I say, thank god Ward, in whatever incarnation, is gone. It’s clear the producers loved the actor, but the character had expired its welcome a long time ago. With Hunter and Bobbi gone, and Lincoln dead, the writers can devote a little more time to the remaining principal characters, even if there’s still a lot going on and they are not a team anymore.<br /><br />As for the Ghost Rider, I’ve read there are two versions of it. One of them drives a car. I’m okay with that. He was very cool and the special effects were awesome. His scenes and Daisy’s were my favorites. God, Rogue Daisy rules! Can she hold her own or what? I loved Yo-Yo backing her up. In fact, Yo-Yo was a hoot (“good to see you too, Coulson”).<br /><br />For now, I’m excited. Let’s hope this season doesn’t go south.Lamounierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225447169375363236noreply@blogger.com
