Does that mean there is a chance that Coulson shows up? Cuz it this point they really should know he is alive.

Nope and that's why we'll love it

I've been thinking that The Face on the Milk Carton series would make a great show, probably would fit very well on Freeform.

That's a good point. It's not the producers fault if Jaime is unavailable. And I'm also considering source material here. Comic books aren't really going to provide a fount of female characters, to ensure the subsequent movie has gender parity and you can only include so many original characters. I think the women we've seen portrayed so far, in both Thor and the other movies, have been interesting, intelligent, resourceful, tough and all around kick ass people. Yes there have been more men than women but I do think source material has to be taken into account.

I imagine that's quite the balancing act for Marvel. They want the coolness of Iron Man on screen but want their money's worth when paying RDJ prices.

He's 40?!

How long Earth are they going to keep Ian Anthony Dale around without Grace Park?

Given that The Ranch stars two of his former That 70's Show costars, I'm not surprised. Apparently they're all pretty tight.

Oh yes! Yummy.

Anna is due to whelp again soon isn't she?

I really really hope that Tony Stark is made aware of those PSA's that Cap filmed. Once they are back on speaking terms he will never let Steve live that down!

I would love it if Jon Stewart is the one to present the award for the Best Variety series, since Stephen Colbert, Samantha Bee, and John Oliver all came from The Daily Show.

Yes, thank you!

Oh god. I know it's coming and that practicality dictates that actors are human and age but I'm so not looking forward to losing one of our Original Six. And whoever said upthread about losing at least one in Infinity War, I think you are right. Especially since it's going to be 2 movies, I'd put money that the first one ends on someone's death and they are all potential victims: Thor, Cap and Iron Man have all had 3 stand-alone movies (and aren't contacted for more so far as I know), Hulk can't have his own movie (legal issues) and there's never been anything but rumor about putting Nat or Barton into a stand-alone. Versus the Guardians, Black Panther, Spiderman and Ant-Man all having contracts that take them past Infinity War. I think I'm crying already.

She published this essay in Glamour on the topic. Apparently she had a miscarriage previous to this. Must have made the Halley storyline especially poignant for her. Congrats to her and husband! https://www.glamour.com/story/actress-melissa-rauch-announces-pregnancy-and-reflects-on-miscarriage

I found Ned a bit annoying too but only because he's so perfectly embodied a teenage boy finding out his best friend is secretly a superhero. I feel like he reacted perfectly which I find irritating as an adult who is long past her teenage years and didn't enjoy them the first time around. Of course Ned is focused on the cool pieces and won't stop talking about it and thinks it's the best thing ever and wants to know if his friend has met the Avengers. He's a 15 year old boy this is exactly how he's going to react. The fact that it's irritating means he played it well because it's very true to life. At least my opinion.

I don't think Tony wants this kind of control over Spider-Man, I think he certainly has better things he prefer to be doing with his time and I noticed he was pretty quick to hand supervision over to happy Hogan. But I think he does recognize that you have a superpower teen running around who idolizes The Avengers and has absolutely no decent training on how to responsibly use his powers. This isn't Tony looking for more control, this is Tony trying to do the responsible thing and really just keep Peter from getting killed. The only major mistake I saw Tony make was not letting Peter know that he had taken his call about Toomes seriously and that he had alerted the FBI. Had Peter know that he might still have been on the boat because well watching an FBI take down is cool, at least to a 15 year old, but he wouldn't have felt like he had to handle it all on his own.

A small thing that stood out for me was that the Department of Damage Control wasn't Tony trying to make money off the clean-up after the Battle of New York. He was their source of funding and it was basically him paying to get the mess cleaned up and the alien tech secured. I'm guessing that if Tony was aware of the people with contracts that got screwed (like Toomes) he might have done what he could to mitigate it. I'm not going to hold it against Tony that he sees the damage that was caused and wants to fix it.

It wasn't the sceptre that went back to Asguard, it was the Tesseract. Last we saw of the sceptre in Avengers was Nat using it to close the portal. She probably handed it over to SHIELD right after.

Is anyone else hoping that Groot ends a twig again in Infinity Wars? Just so that we get Baby Groot again in Vol. 3, plus the awesomely funny and face-palming reaction coming from the Guardians when they realize they have to raise him *again*,

Really? I don't think DDK has missed an episode (and if he has, it's certainly not as many as SC) and I think GP was only gone for her maternity leave. Which she shot a bunch of stuff for in advance, keeping Kono in most episodes. I'd say they've both made considerable effort to work their other projects around 5-0. And also, the thought just occurred to me that losing Chin and Kono will make Scott's already considerable absences even *more* noticeable as now it's just McGarrett and Grover to cover for him. Are we going to see Jerry suddenly in the field and chasing down suspects?

In all fairness Peter Lenkov might not have been the decision maker here. When all that stuff when down on Criminal Minds with JJ/Prentiss being fired to allow budget for a spin-off (that failed), the show's producers were *very* opposed to the move but got over-ruled by the CBS execs.

That is really disappointing to hear. I'm especially not pleased that a show set in Hawaii has gone from a majority-minority cast to majority Caucasian.

I think Doodlebug is a forum poster who is a practicing OBGYN. Not a nickname for Jill.

Poor guy!
