shallownessAgents of SHIELD 4.8 The Laws of Inferno Dynamics
I got riled by the continuity announcer talking about ‘Ghost Rider and team’ before the episode started. Where was he for the first three seasons, pray?
So, you know what I said about Eli being the big bad, er no. I did suspect as the ep went on that it was going to be Ava (but as was obvious when Radcliffe assembled her, something was going to go awry with his RoboSHIELD plan).
MAY! The key thing for me is when she was switched. I am presuming that the answer to the question of ‘to what?’ is a robot. The simplest time would be when she was sent to fetch Ava and Radcliffe, which they didn’t show, so I hope we get a flashback of the switch for confirmation, because from the first interaction with Coulson my shipper antennae were twitching, as they were being so flirty. So, I’d like to know if she was switched before then (but why would she be?) because I thought they were playing it platonic previously.
But srsly, not liking bloodied, abducted May in a secret cupboard. Admittedly, if anyone could rescue themselves, it’d be her, but Ava is a (corrupted by the still rubbish looking book) robot – and Mace did want to terminate her and probably has confused feelings after the whole being attracted to her thing.
Anyway, she’ll be mad to find Coulson flirted with a replacement – and if this all puts the ship back awhile, which it well could, I will be glum.
It took me a while to remember we’ve had an alterna May running around before, Agent Whoever who Ward was hanging with for reasons that barely made sense.
Daisy is officially back in team now that Robbie’s vanished for a while so there’s no-one for her to bounce back off as a vigilante. Should have seen it coming with the new and improved gauntlets (let’s handwave the likely state of her bones. Unless if they arrange for her to meet a magic healer, the state of Daisy’s bones will never not be ridiculous). Last episode, she was sure the missing guys were not dead; this episode, it was Coulson who just knew Robbie’d be back.
As for Daisy as the potential Director, oh Phil, stop letting your paternal feelings get in the way of sense, thought I. And then I presumed it was a comic reference – but I’d be shocked if they didn’t add some all-new continuity for whatever Marvel does next with the Inhumans (is it a film or a TV show?)
Speaking of, as Coulson and Mace discussed how very bad this situation was and how Coulson needed his best team in one breath and Mace mentioned Ultron in the next...is SHIELD not talking to any of the Avengers at all? (Hmm, I seem to have forgotten a lot about Civil War.) Obviously, we all know that nobody in the top tier is going to turn up on this show, but the script was lax there.
You tell Mack, Elena. Dark time, whatever, brainfart, I call it.
