Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Was it? I missed that.

That's kind of disappointing, actually. <.< Both of their characters are much more engaging when they're interacting with others in the cast than when they're interacting with each other. Both are great characters and fun to have around, but their onscreen chemistry isn't spectacular.

I see no reason why Ward can't still turn up in a Hunter/Bobbi spin-off.

The question I have is, is Mack staying on Ao S, or joining Hunter and Bobbi?

I think it was confirmed they'd be in it. It hasn't been confirmed that they'd be the central characters.

Age of Ultron spoilers below, AVERT YOUR EYES

Having Coulson find the intel on Strucker's location was a clever way to link Ao S to Age of Ultron without creating any real continuity lockout to this who only watched the movies.

I wonder if theta protocol is just Captain America's new headquarters or goes beyond that. The base would cover most of what we know about theta protocol, but I still feel like there's something deeper and more important to the events specific to the show going on.

Is there even anything confirmed concerning the spin-off? I thought so far we only got rumours.

Come to think of it, I don't think anything has been officially confirmed by Marvel or ABC. All we have are reports, though they seem credible enough.

It's sometimes hard to separate the rumors to what's been officially confirmed. Heck, technically speaking Spider-man hasn't been confirmed to appear in Civil War, just that he'll be in a Marvel movie prior to appearing in the standalone Spider-man. People just assumed that would be Civil War because that feels like it makes the most sense.

The spin-off hasn't even been confirmed yet, also can we please avoid age of Ultron spoilers here, even properly marked they make it difficult for people to put spoiler view on and read show spoilers without accidentally getting spoiled for the film.

Yeah people. Language!

@ Falrinn: ^{ULTRON SPOILERS!}  The base is probably part of Theta Protocol, but I think the Helicarrier was too. Fury calls it "A gift from some old friends," which sounds like "Coulson set this up, but I can't mention him by name because you all still think he's dead." Steve's "This is what SHIELD is supposed to be" sounds exactly like he's unknowingly describing Coulson.

So... am I the only freaking out about how Coulson sacrificed The Bus like that? Shouldn't we, like, have a moment of silence or something? That plane had a bar on it.

A really nice one too.

Boom.

This isn't One Piece where people are going to get weepy over a vehicle but a 'my god what have I done' 'what you've always done. Gave us a fighting chance BY DAMAGING AN EXPENSIVE AIRCRAFT' moment might have been nice.

I suppose though they didn't want to spend the time

As long as Lola was not on it (and she wasn't) I am fine. The bus had become mostly obsolete either way. The show spend more time on base or location than in it.

You know as awesome as these last two episodes were I still can't get over the fact that this show actually referenced Sonic of all things.

I know, right? Straight out of left field.

You have a point.

(x3) But - it had - a BAR.

But no fishtank!

I'm really hoping that Season 3 opens with them having constructed a new Bus. With a fishtank.

But then Fitzsimmons will have to mourn the fish if the new bus ever gets shot down.

Having seen Age of Ultron last night, I wonder if Agent Hill will appear on this show, with a limp.

That'd be an interesting Continuity Nod.

It will have bullet proof glass.

I just did a quick search on Marvel's Mr. Hyde.

Holy mother of god. And all this time I was annoyed at how Cal never got the chance to transform because of something or other.

Probably not going to be that powerful, but A) I expect him to have a Super Mode, since he seemed to be holding back both times against Whitehall, and B) he was in front of a gun at least twice and didn't seem phased. First when Skye petrified that HYDRA mook, Cal's only concern was that Skye would "see him" tear Whitehall apart. Later, when Whitehall points a gun he just stalks toward him, doesn't run or take cover, just stalks.

Yeah, I also get the feeling we haven't seen Cal at his best given how utterly unimpressed he's consistently been by the prospect of people shooting him.

Cal behaves like someone who knows damned well that he's invulnerable. He is completely devoid of a "Is somebody going to shoot me in the face for saying or doing this?" social filter.

Similarly, Jiaying seems completely unwilling to entertain the idea of having Cal put to death. It might be emotional sentiment towards him, but I haven't gotten the impression she cares overmuch about anyone who isn't an Inhuman. She was willing to strand him in the human world and let countless people die in the inevitable rampage rather than kill him. Maybe she knows that's a much harder prospect than it sounds.

She wants him gone, but constantly appeases him when he's around. Jiaying has very little faith in the prospect of her people winning a fight with Hyde, at least without significant casualties.

He's clearly a little stronger and tougher than human just by default, but I'm also expecting a Super Mode.

Yeah, I think (and hope) that we will see a true Mr. Hyde moment towards the end of the season.

And wouldn't it be awesome if he said, "I'm Mister Hyde!"

New Clip

Aw shet. Dis gun b gud.

This network does good previews.
