Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

This week's episodes blew me away.  That the survivor survived was completely unexpected.  The identity of Lash was even more unexpected.  But the top thing that happened - Powers Boothe showed up!  Playing, one must assume, the same character he played in The Avengers!  The Security Council dude who tried to nuke NYC!!  And he's with Hydra!!!  I was like "holy crap!" over and over and over again.

Every single episode this season has knocked it out of the park.

I'm still mad about last week's episode. 

Why do the writers hate Fitz?!?!

[Nicklab]

It's the long play.  It makes the payoff that much better when Fitz & Simmons eventually get together.

I think it was awesome to see Powers Boothe in the episode.  The tie-in of his character from the first Avengers film as a member of the World Security Council was great.  And it keeps the whole storyline of Hydra having inflitrated it's way into SHIELD that much more insidious.

As for Lash's identity?  There was a moment during this week's episode that clued me in on the possibility that it was someone close to SHIELD.  And when the reveal came at the end of the episode I wasn't that surprised.

But the fight sequence between Bobbie and Ward's chief goon?  That was good.  And when she shocked the hell out of him in the water?  It showed just how ruthless she can be!

So I'm guessing he's skipping Daisy because Daisy is very effective at drawing out Inhumans to eliminate?  It can't be just so he can get to the lightning dude.

That's what I'm thinking... he's using her to draw the Inhumans out.

As for last weeks episode.  I loved seeing Simmons on Survivor: Portal World.  When she ran into the Astronaut, I kind of figured there'd be a hitch to the Fitz-Simmons relationship.

So, I finally caught up to the Season 2 finale via Netflex.  Comcast has S3 Episodes On Demand, but starting with epsidoe 3.  Any suggestions on a good source to catch the first two episodes from this season?

[P-Siddy]

I was going to suggest abc.com, but it looks like they don't have S3 E1 or 2 either.  No idea then... hope you find them.

[DSJ™]

I use this site Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Just finding the links that work.

SPOILERS!

SHIELD sure did a heck of a job this week tying up every single loose end into one cohesive plot.  I was thinking "Oh, the alien planet thing - that's a totally different plot from The Inhumans."  "Oh the Ward revenge thing - that's not connected at all to The Inhumans."

But... NOPE!  Everything is The Inhumans.

I can't imagine they planned all this from the beginning.  I'm talking Cap: First Avenger beginning.  Because that'd just be ridiculous.

Any guesses on the Hydra Leader on the alien planet?

[P-Siddy]

I was thinking it could be Simmons' boyfriend back on the planet as you never see the mysterious guy and the astronaut together.  We hear him calling to Jemma but you never see it.  That could be a twist, especially if Jemma is pregnant with a human-Inhuman hybrid.

[McMetal]

I just want to ask the writers if they ever plan on killing Ward or should I just check out and stop watching now.

Because I've had enough of that cocky dbag to last a lifetime. Off him already. If Grey's Anatomy can kill McDreamy, NO ONE should be untouchable on that network.

+1

[Nicklab]

I think the show has to go there eventually.  And with this possible threat from the alien planet, plus the Powers Boothe faction of Hydra?  I think the show runners have somewhere to go if they kill off Ward. 

[P-Siddy]

And it could be as early as next week as the preview seems like it's action packed.  I doubt it but I bet by the end of the season, Ward's gone.

[BillCable]

Funny - seems like Ward is generating almost Joeffrey-like hatred from some of you guys.   

I actually like him as the foil.  I'll be sad to see him eventually buy it.  Though I think they still have something in store with his relationship with Daisy.
