I also wanted Daisy to force Mack through the portal, but knew that she wouldn't, that forcing Mack to leave against his will was just too much. <br /><br />What an outstanding arc for Iain de Caestecker. And yay for John Hannah's Radcliffe.

There's no question about it. Can you say the same about Mack from their world? It's harder to say. He's not doing anything bad and he gets to be with his daughter, even though it's only his virtual daughter. It's entirely possible that if Daisy forced Mack out of the Framework he might never forgive her.Mariannahttp://www.mariannahorn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-35171594547201974662017-05-11T21:19:55.567-04:002017-05-11T21:19:55.567-04:00Thank you, Thomas. :) AoS deserves it.Thank you, Thomas. :) AoS deserves it.Lamounierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225447169375363236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-56333180600767798022017-05-11T19:52:58.957-04:002017-05-11T19:52:58.957-04:00Congrats on the renewal!Congrats on the renewal!Thomas Ijon Tichyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01401298696128080459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-46631953173156505412017-05-07T17:45:41.175-04:002017-05-07T17:45:41.175-04:00migmit, I agree that this was a great episode desp...migmit, I agree that this was a great episode despite some logic flaws here and there. And, yep, it’s likely that Skye didn’t come back after Daisy left. Poor Framework Ward.<br /><br /><i>I also wanted Daisy to just Quake Mack. But, I guess, she respects him too much.</i><br /><br />I get that, but I think I would agree with it if Mack had his real memories and could make a fully informed decision. As it was, she left behind a friend whose decision was biased by his fake memories. But, again, it’s a detail. I understand why the writers wanted to leave a main character behind.<br /><br />Patryk, I don’t think it would be the best move to have Hope become real. Unless, like I’ve been saying, they create a dilemma for Mack of what is real, what means to be human, can an “artificial” creature have a soul and so on. Actually, I’m wondering if they’ll kill Mack in the real world and have him return through the body building machine, so that he’ll question his own existence. That would be an interesting turn for the character.<br /><br />I think Aida has multiple Inhuman powers.Lamounierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225447169375363236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-88507162809112798332017-05-07T15:36:29.210-04:002017-05-07T15:36:29.210-04:00I guess Radcliffe is still in the framework and Hy...I guess Radcliffe is still in the framework and Hydra has lost all of it's leadership so if they don't destroy the system he can still try to get a hold of the body building technology and come back, or make even Mack's daughter, Tripp or Ward real. So I don't think the framework is done quite yet.<br /><br />How clever of Aida to design herself not a human body but an inhuman body. A robot-souled inhuman, now that's one scary villian, definately much more then Hive. What if she has multiple inhuman powers not just teleporting.Patrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662838711958747484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-55520420832858688392017-05-05T21:19:46.998-04:002017-05-05T21:19:46.998-04:00Some more thoughts:

And, unlike Fitz, he remained himself in the Framework.<br /><br />Aida Gordoning away with Fitz in tow was... not a really great idea. He kinda killed Gordon, outrunning Mack at this.<br /><br />And for political quotes: this time they talked about chalking the ugly truth up as "fake news".migmithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06981055611018991476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-48074581459738547082017-05-05T21:04:47.219-04:002017-05-05T21:04:47.219-04:00Wow. When they mentioned Hope's mother, I was ...Wow. When they mentioned Hope's mother, I was sure that Mack would come through, trusting his ex-wife to take a good care of their daughter. Did not happen... yet. We'll see.<br /><br />Another shenanigans for your collection: nobody is guarding the room with several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents — unconscious, but capable of waking up. Given that Aida can walk between worlds at will, she should've notified Ivanov (seriously, I thought US filmmakers would know some other Russian last names by now). He probably couldn't order to just kill them... But he definitely could order to restrain them. Or, you know, he could at least keep them handcuffed.<br /><br />But hey, we got a really great episode, quite worthy of the previous one. Some bits of fridge logic here and there aren't going to change this. And, I guess, Skye didn't come back after Daisy left.migmithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06981055611018991476noreply@blogger.com
