swanpride July 4, 2020 Share July 4, 2020 It would be nice to have a breather, just long enough to get Sousa up to speed and give him a proper prosthetic, damnit. Maybe that will happen off-screen next week? 2 Link to comment

swanpride July 4, 2020 Share July 4, 2020 Maybe. So far I put it down to them simply not having the time but yeah, I guess they would need Fitz. Link to comment

They look and sound so much alike, it's driving me nuts. I can't confirm it but you're right he looks like he could be Evan's brother. I guess they've spoiled me because I thought the title card was boooooring! This episode was just okay but poor Mack :-( and now he's alone with Deke. Please come back Fitz! Link to comment
swanpride July 4, 2020 Share July 4, 2020 Yeah, they put the bar with the title card/sequence so high that a simple "scifi" card really didn't do it. Of all the episodes this was also easily the least distinctive. Link to comment

Maybe something along the Six Million Dollar Man level of tech like Coulson's old hand or Yo-Yo's would need Fitz but with the real world stuff we have now upgrading from a post WWII prosthetic should be right in Simmons' wheelhouse assuming they ever get time during the Chronicom chase to outfit Chief Sousa 1 Link to comment

What's that? Seriously, I'm not sure they are even getting downtime for a good night's sleep during this mission, never mind time for niceties such as mission briefings, analysis of Yoyo's loss of powers, or the creation of a new prosthetic! They just seem to bounce straight from one crisis to another. 1 Link to comment
swanpride July 5, 2020 Share July 5, 2020 They barely have time to sleep under normal circumstances...I am not sure if they had ANY downtime since the backend of season 4. 3 Link to comment

Let me take random stuff from her, have it ejected into me, and not consider that my body can't handle the power." Dummy! Do we know how Nathaniel Malick died in the original timeline? Was it strictly a case of "Too Dumb To Live"? Link to comment

He was sacrificed to Hive in an ancient Hydra ceremony that involved drawing lots. He and Gideon had discovered that their father always cheated the draw and agreed among themselves to play it fairly. Gideon then cheated to save himself, while Nathaniel drew the short straw and was sent through the portal to Hive's planet, where he died. Edit: I think it's a different actor playing the character now than back in S3 though. Edited July 6, 2020 by Llywela 3 Link to comment

(I feel somehow certain that if the same actor were playing this (younger?) version, I might've recalled the character better? But perhaps not.) 1 Link to comment
swanpride July 6, 2020 Share July 6, 2020 They used the same actor for young Gideon, so most likely not. I just hope that Nathaniel died. The timeline is messed up as it is, but I can just believe that it can go back on track if Mack and Deke spend some time to slow down the technological push the chronicons gave S.H.I.E.L.D. Hopefully we get a breather this week. The last episode felt like a kind of mid-season finale. 1 Link to comment

Judging from the movie's Howard Stark and Hank Pym tech what Malick did was in line with what Deke's company did. Only it was still held by S.H.I.E.L.D./Hydra Link to comment

Maybe it was the same one from the LMD year. 1 Link to comment
AKA...CJ86 July 10, 2020 Share July 10, 2020 (edited) So Disney, I'm going to need a Skye/Sousa spinoff Asap. Okay, Thanks. Was really enjoying the title cards and they went back to the standard one when they started the space adventures. Edited July 10, 2020 by AKA...CJ86 Link to comment

AOS doesn't have a standard title card, it's been different every season, often changing during the season as well. This season has had a different title card for every episode, designed to match the aesthetic of the era in which each episode is set. This one...was kinda boring compared to earlier efforts, true, but if you look back at a few shows from the late 70s, you'll see that the style is correct for the era. I would watch a Daisy-Sousa spin-off 😄 2 Link to comment
