Ooh. Interesting. Penultimate episode (technically) - this will be awesome.
ReplyDeleteI'd bet the other Koenig has been running the base where/whatever it is, also Coulson told them to activate Theta Protocol if San Juan ended up with the teams destruction. So I'd go with yeah they know.
ReplyDeleteThink everyone did, even the Coulson team have shown issues with her powers, Other Shield seems to have substantial/massive issues with gifted so that's not surprising. The Inhumans most likely have issues with her working with an agency designed in part to control gifted. We knew that Skye wasn't going to be staying in Afterlife.
ReplyDeleteYeah, though they might not be spelling things out, maybe there will be twists in the show itself?
ReplyDeleteI would love for the theory that whatever Coulson's hiding is connected to the Secret Warriors to be true. That would be awesome. Uh oh, looks like SHIELD and the Inhumans are going to war with each other. Poor Skye having to choose between the two but hopefully she'll make the right decision in the end (Coulson and the team of course).
ReplyDeleteGifted people? Who are Alisha and Michael?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that whatever it is is the spin off being set up. As for Skye, she just can't get a break, no matter which side she picks she's going to end up losing.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, kind of sad that it's going to end up in conflict for Skye but yeah that was always the likely outcome.
ReplyDeleteJust a question, shouldn't the first sneak peak be up by now? Thought it was Friday's and Monday's?
I'm pretty sure he already told them in the midseason finale. It was something along lines of if things didn't go according to plan in the alien city, he told them to activate the Theta Protocol.
ReplyDeleteThe show runners are super fans of the secret warrior comics so there is a great chance is related and if not i'm sure at some point thye will go that route. The tension will rise on the 20 and the finale will be even better. I can't wait to see what side she chooses.
ReplyDeleteYeah and they made a face like, "Oh no, not the Theta Protocol!!!!"
ReplyDeleteI hope so. It would be really disappointing if this was a paint-by-numbers storyline.
ReplyDeleteIt should but as always it looks like they are holding back. They barely gave us a promo so just release the sneak peek already!
ReplyDeleteYes, sneak peak, we already got hardly anything in the promo, we deserve that much!!!
ReplyDeleteA third nipple?
ReplyDeleteYeah things were finally looking up for the poor girl and now she has to deal with more heartbreak :(
ReplyDeleteOf course that in the end Skye will choose Coulson although the Inhumans are much cooler and she could reconnect with her family and culture. I mean, no xmen would choose government job over Chavier academy.
ReplyDeleteTrue, maybe it could be connected to the Theta Protocol, say something like Coulson actually setting up gifted teams, which I'm guessing the Inhumans would have issues with...
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's always interesting when you think about some comments from past episodes like that (for example I went back and watched Season 1 again, and stuff like Ward's reaction to Skye is completely different when you know he was doing FAR worse than she ever did.
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten about that line. So, I wonder why he trusted them with that info but not May?
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize he was Chandler.
ReplyDeleteIt really does suck, bet the fallout might be one of the major issues flagged in the finale
ReplyDeleteIf it is "weaponising" Gifted, I could see why he would given her history.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see Skye making the surprising decision which would be the inhumans but sounds unlikely. By the press release we know she is back as agent Skye. She can't stay away from SHIELD for long. Daisy was a SHIELD agent and i get the feeling her mom will do a sacrifice for her and end up dying that's how she will take the Daisy name she choosed for her.
ReplyDeleteJust because they're blood doesn't mean Skye should choose them. Also, the Inhumans are shady and I don't trust any of them.
ReplyDeleteUgh, the fact that we don't have the sneak peek yet is driving me up the wall.
ReplyDeleteI know, the promo was Ultron, AoS deserves it's own.
ReplyDeleteUgh, I think they were trying to hype us up for AoU but I already am so give me the promo for the show I'm watching, ABC. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI figured that it might be alright. I'm trying to guess what will be in it...
ReplyDeleteI think Skye's going to stay Skye but she will choose Quake as her superhero name.
ReplyDeleteUh boy make or break time. Coulson my love this better be good!
ReplyDeleteSounds so good. I just hope Skye's mama isn't bad like I am suspecting.
ReplyDeleteYeah, given the suggestion that May has doubts as well now he better have a really good idea on handling the fallout.
ReplyDeleteI doubt they'll go all the way to Quake yet.
ReplyDeleteOnly as an alias. Sometimes he goes by Chanandler Bong.
ReplyDeleteAfter calling her Skye for so long would be weird to change and Daisy doesn't really suit her so i would be fine if they didn't change but by interviews fom the producers i got the feeling eventually she would change.
ReplyDeletei knew this would happen!!!! DAMN IT, Skye your family is SHIELD not that cult!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you to someone else thinking it's a cult. Everyone seems to be buying into it and refuse to see the Inhumans are shady but I'm not falling for it.
ReplyDeleteThey are a entire race that's been living secretly since by the suggestion the end of te Kree experiments, I don't think they are a cult, just different.
ReplyDeleteDon't think anyone has disagreed that they have their plans/objectives, doesn't make them a Cult.
ReplyDeleteAs I said in the Melinda episode, I hope the writers realise that Skye deserves some good pay off from her lifelong quest. If she ends up screwed again it's going to be horrible for her. I can see her Mum trying to get her away from Shield but that doesn't make her evil.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't trust SHIELD with powered people at all either.
ReplyDeleteThere is that, I mean did we ever find out who was experimenting on the shadow guy that went after Coulson's girlfriend. I would say Hydra, but he was at the Fridge and they didn't seem to have active agents there.
ReplyDeleteGiven Other Shield's position on the Gifted as well, and even the fear that Coulson and Co had over one of their most trusted friends, yeah I can agree with you that Shield may not be the best place either.
technically they are....plus they're not a cult.
ReplyDeleteAlso...why is there such a "family" obsession within this fandom? I agree that they're all close but calling them family makes it sound as if people expect the show to be something else than it is
The episode after Age of Ultron, this is gonna be awesome.
ReplyDeleteWe've had the Coulson-Cal dad-off so I hope this will provide us with May-Jiaying mum-up. That's it, that's my wish for this.
ReplyDeleteEpic, but think of the fallou if May learns about Barahain?
ReplyDeleteits up on ABC right now
ReplyDeletethis could put coulson team including skye at war with the inhumans which gives it a nice twist
ReplyDeleteThe most recent Avengers tv spot with War Machine has a pretty spoilery bit involving SHIELD.
ReplyDeleteJust watched the sneak peek - Fitz in a suit literally on the run is my new favorite AOS character.
ReplyDeleteReally, is there a link?
ReplyDeleteI dont know why they dont update the guy that plays Mack as regular :s
ReplyDeleteWill eh tell them why he was buiding those places?
Hopefully Skye's choice is more interesting than just the inhumans or SHIElD, maybe she finds a way to choose herself over the above.
ReplyDeleteAmen even I find the mama may papa coulson stuff creepy they are professionals and have strong friendships. What's ward then like a rapey cousin eww.
ReplyDeleteThey're not shady. They just have to take certain precautions to protect the secret of their existence. Seeing how groups such as Hydra and NuShield react to people with powers, their approach is not unreasonable.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.comingsoon.net/movies/trailers/431061-war-machine-enters-the-fray-in-new-avengers-age-of-ultron-tv-spot
ReplyDeleteWitches!!!
ReplyDeleteCheer's looks like the original carrier survived then.
ReplyDeleteIf you right about Phil planning Weaponising Inhumans Gifted, Forever see Phil as bad as Whitehall even Kree
ReplyDeleteFor me I choose my Kind over Other Kind
ReplyDeleteIt's a contract thing, so it could mean a number of things: from they are not sure what to do him in the future, they are going to kill him off someday not too far away, the actor wants to keep his options open, and so on and so forth.
ReplyDeleteYay Patton Oswalt is back! I know he is busy with loads of other things but his absence has been noticeable.
ReplyDeleteSky Should Choose her side, and do right by the Inhumans for taking her in when the world and friends doubted her and wanted only to restrain her abilities. Then she can go back to Shield if she wants to.
ReplyDeletenice one episode 2.20

My two top favorite characters is in trouble. I'm not okay with it I don't want to be in Skye position seriously her being an inhuman isn't a gift and Coulson is finally telling his big secret.
ReplyDelete*Miss Chanandler Bong.
ReplyDeleteI get your frustration but family doesn't always follow biology. The fandom's overreaction is one thing but however you may feel about them still doesn't negate the fact that Skye herself sees SHIELD (Coulson, May, Jemma and Fitz) as her family.
ReplyDeleteThey are a different culture going on for thousands of years, not a cult.
ReplyDeleteI think the mother (and Cal) is hiding something but not evil.
ReplyDeleteI'm fine if the inhumans call her by her given name and Shield call her by her chosen name. I have two first names and go by both daily, some call me Penelope others call me by my African name, this is so normal for the majority of the population here in South Africa.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if she got to know her kind more, I'd see her making this decision but I doubt it. I don't think she will think less of her own people, it's just a case of what she's familiar with. And based on comics we know she continues being a SHIELD agent and I don't think this will change as long as Coulson's still a part of SHIELD. And going back to SHIELD doesn't mean cutting all ties with her people.
ReplyDeleteYay, the Koenigs are back! Now I want them to tell Gonzales that he DOESN'T get a lanyard and kick him out.
ReplyDeleteThe reveal of what the Theta Protocol is...? Ooh.
Skye being torn between the two groups is inevitable, now I just hope the show resists the temptation to make the Inhumans an evil group that tries to keep Skye by force. It's too simplistic and too predictable. I prefer a conflict that has layers.
Jiaying and Cal are her biological parents. They never abandoned her or anything, she was taken away from them and they moved heaven and earth to find her. How is it odd that she wants to spend time with them and make up for 25 (or 26, whatever) lost years?
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I know Cal is technically a monster and a killer, but it's clear he hasn't been in his right mind ever since the horrors that happened to him and I think Skye is coming to understand that. Plus, most people are going to be more forgiving towards close family than everyone else, it's only natural.
Yeah. As much as I see Coulson and May as parental figures towards Skye, this whole "Papa Coulson and Mama May need to get married and adopt Skye so they can all live happily ever after! Aww!" cheesefest has gone too far.
ReplyDeleteSkye's closeness to her friends at SHIELD doesn't mean she should pass up the chance to get to know the parents she missed out on 26 years with. And the fact is, the Inhumans CAN help Skye understand and control her powers in a way that SHIELD can't. So this insistence that she must stay away from the Inhumans or else she's somehow betraying her "SHIELD family" is tiresome.
Yeh, even you could trust Coulson,which past history of SHIELD indicates no, "REAL" SHIELD obviously won't accept gifteds under any circumstances, and it looks like a merger of the two factions is coming.
ReplyDeleteMight even be the one Gonzales is using as his base for all we know! :)
ReplyDeleteWith "Civil War" coming next year I don't think the situation for Skye will change (possibly until Avengers 3). As the Inhumans will have their own movie I doubt they will be portrayed as evil, even though to their laws Skye and Raina are in serious danger.
ReplyDeleteShould the Spin-Off be "Secret Warriors" slowly but surely I can see Skye beeing part of it!
Ming herself has referred to her as Mama May so...
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/MingNa/status/578054238770630658
And Chloe, Clark, and Ming have repeatedly said in multiple interviews that they consider Skye to be Coulson and May's daughter.
They said she is hiding something, and it depends on your perspective if it's bad or good after all she has been through.
ReplyDeletethis is the episode after ultron 18 and 19 would be those that tie in i would think
ReplyDeletePlus, I'm so sick of betrayals. We need to have some positive relationships between characters on this show. It's not like everything is smiles and roses for Skye as it is - apart from being hunted for who she is, her dad is crazy and a killer. At least let her mom be good, and don't kill her (which would be really horrible for Skye right after she got her back). Like you, I'd have absolutely no trouble understanding it if Jiaying simply wanted to keep Skye safe from SHIELD which she perceived as a threat, but no evil hidden agendas, please.
ReplyDeleteWhat I hope happens: the Inhumans come to realize that Coulson's SHIELD is not their enemy and that Skye feels like she belongs there. They give her their blessing to go back and tell her to keep them on speed-dial if she's ever in a tight spot.
ReplyDeleteWhat I fear will happen: the Inhumans turn out to be eeeeeevil, hold Skye by force because they want to use her for some nefarious purpose and launch an all-out war with Coulson. Sigh.
That's the blue sky scenario I think most of us are hoping for. Being that optimistic with AoS usually doesn't pay off for me though.
ReplyDeleteFairly sure from looking at in AoS that it's a normal CVN, it doesn't have the split deck of the helicarriers.
ReplyDeleteYeah, total agree with you, with having the two Shields acting against each other, and all the other issues the show would really be going over the same ground if they have Skye's family betray her (particularly after searching for her for decades). Now I can see conflict between Skye and her parents and the rest of the Inhumans over her wanting to return to the rest of the World. But that just makes sense based on their community.
ReplyDeleteYour theory in the second paragraph is alright with me. Like mutants, who Inhumans are apparently filling for in the MCU, there are obviously going to be Inhumans who don't play well with everyone else, to say the least. But I don't want the entire Inhuman race, or Afterlife, or Skye's parents, to be presented as villainous (well, Cal already IS villainous... sort of... depending on how much you think his craziness is a mitigating factor in everything he's done, but I digress). I think that's pretty easy fodder for audience hate along the lines of "they're trying to keep Skye from her REAL family! Go get them, Coulson!". I'm not a fan of that simplicity. I already feel like Olmost SHIELD has been portrayed in a more negative light than it should've been, and I don't want the same for the inhumans.
ReplyDeleteI don't think they can afford to go too negative with the Inhumans with the film on the horizon. The last thing Marvel wants is a large chunk of their movie-going audience to dislike the subjects of their film by the time it's released.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's a good point. I have no idea what's planned for the film (especially as I'm unfamiliar with the source material), but I can't imagine it's about an entire group/race of evil characters... the bad guys are rarely the protagonists of films, especially in this genre.
ReplyDeleteI'm really, really tempted to say something about how certain fans' opinions of the Inhumans might be slightly skewed by the fact that one of said Inhumans is a possible love interest for Skye, which wouldn't bode too well for Skyeward if it were to pan out...
ReplyDeleteWhat, I'm shocked at the suggestion Sir, SHOCKED! Having said that I think you might be on to something there. I mean so far we have seen Skye get what she's been searching for all her life, with a Mom that seems to care.
ReplyDeleteCould he actually be the Man with the Golden Gun?
ReplyDeleteWell most likely the movie will be around the Royal Family or something along those lines, with the AoS being somewhat restricted, so who knows, they could show the Earth based Inhumans as being more conservative then the others...
ReplyDeleteGood point about the Olmost Shield (though that might be also to maybe create a situation for Bobbi to ralign with the other team (otherwise I have no idea how they keep her as a full cast member). In terms of the Inhumans, with the restrictions of Gordon being the transport system, not sure how they could organise enough to be trouble unless the elders back some form of conflict between the Inhumans and the rest.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, regarding that last point - I wonder if Gordon is the only one who CAN come and go, or if he's the only one ALLOWED to? If it's the latter, some pesky Inhumans could still leave without permission and cause trouble, even if the Elders are on the up and up.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I hope Gordon gets paid or something. Imagine being at the eternal beck-and-call of your people for when someone wants to come or go, or even when everyone wants pizza! Sounds exhausting.
The actress that is playing her(Alisha) is AP's stunt double
ReplyDeleteAnd she has been Wonder Woman (BVS)
Dottie (Agent Carter)
Sarah (Chuck)
Charlie (Revolution)
Skye also doesn't know there are two SHIELDs. May told her SHIELD was coming after her, then got cut off without explaining anything else. Add to that seeing Bobbi with the agents who tried to shoot her and Skye has to be pretty confused about what's going on. The only person she knows she can trust is May, since she warned her. One can assume she wants to trust Coulson too, but as far as she knows he's the only one who could send SHIELD agents after her.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
