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

I hope James sticks around next season. He is infinitely more enjoyable to watch than Lincoln.

James will do a heel face turn and become Ghost Rider after signing a deal with the devil played by Nicholas Cage

Not see how Daisy's blood is a better solution.

Because it's fresher maybe.

Hive has been alive for years, jumping from body to body.

The blood Daisy has in her is only three years old, and she was already an inhuman. Maybe it'll be more viable.

I find it odd that the part of him that's Ward didn't remember that that had happened. Or maybe he didn't want to risk her by trying something like that. Because when you think about it, he should have tried that from the start.

Daisy went through terragenesis after that happen. Even if the Kree blood was still in her system, wouldn't it be altered as well?

The major difference between the two is that hive is inside a corpse and Daisy is a living breathing body. Though how well her blood might work is a good question.

They also might need more blood at some point.

I thought it was really funny that Hive was upset at Daisy when he killed his Kree Reaper on purpose.

Going by the conversations they had only Daisy was suppose to keep her's alive, though it would have been nice to have the spare.

I believe that was the plan also, but that generally is why one keeps a spare. So you are not back to square one if something goes wrong.

Well, Hive's superpower isn't.. exactly well suited for non-fatal attacks.

...dude, this is totally not the first TV show to do this.

That said, I was surprised they brought the Kree Blood transfusion back into the plot.

Nothing is new under the sun. But it is still very rare that a show has such an intricate plot in which details from the first season are still important way later.

That's...

Lost, Person of Interest, Fringe, Boy Meets World, Weeds, Full House, Battlestar Galactica, Farscape, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Sliders, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Breaking Bad, I can go on.

Come to think of it, Hive reminds me of Flocke, character and abilitywise:

• Brought back from the dead.
• Brought because the actor was too good to kill off.
• Bizarre, supernatural powers.
• Immune to bullets.

Main difference being Flocke was an Evil Counterpart and Squid Ward is an... evil-er counterpart?

Most of the show you mentioned have call-backs. That is NOT the same as picking up a plot threat from way past and letting it have an impact way later.

So the next episode has Civil War spoilers?

I guess I'd better see that before next week then...

Look, I can pretty much assure you that's not the case with most of those and list out how those aren't just Call-Back's. Every show that has a Myth Arc across seasons generally has to bring back a plot point from an earlier season.

The Kree Blood could easily have been forgotten, just like Quinn and the Gravitonium, which had far more precedent for coming up again since it would've introduced an existing villain. I'm surprised it was used again, but I wouldn't say AOS is ingeniously-written because of it. The show's ingenuity, if any, is the fantastic baiting-and-switching of the Big Bad's each season.

(see also 24)

I would it exactly call gravitron since this is a character that regular agents probably won't be able to handle. If earth's mightiest heroes is anything to go by it required Iron Man, wasp, Thor, the Hulk, Ant Man to defeat him.

I could imagine him being where he is a few years before a series of events leads to his escape and seeking those that trapped him.

I will check if there are any Civil War spoilers and post my judgement here.

Concerning Graviton: I think all the Inhumans together could handle him. Perfect end-villain for season 4.

Oh man, I won't be able to see CW until Saturday or Sunday. I'll be disowning this thread just in case something slips through spoiler tags.

Okay, those who want to avoid the threat, feel free to pm and ask me if the episode is safe to watch.

Fridge Logic: did anyone even had the idea to check if a splinter bomb works on Hive? Worst case scenario, he'd end up as two handfuls of live bait in boots.

Aren't the splinter bombs made from the Diviner? He'd be immune as an Inhuman. Of course, that leads to the question of why the Kree would design the Diviners to affect them as well.

The diviners were a security protocol to prevent unauthorized access to the terrigen - And given the kree were working on neolithic human tribes, it wasn't human unauthorized access they wanted to stop. The Kree reapers were kind of fridge horror on reflection. So they just went into stasis around a primitive world on the ass end of the galaxy... just in case someone might pull the fire alarm? And if noone ever did, they'd just float there until the machines keeping them in stasis broke or the local primitives reached the stage of going through all the floating crap in the system with a fine comb / a mining ship? Talk about jumping into the future blind.

Was anyone else seriously reminded of Steve vs Bucky during Mack vs Daisy?
