Luckily Luke Cage and The Flash will give me my fix with there being no Shield next week.

Episode 3 looks a little more interesting than episode 2 did, imo. I'm really diggin' Robbie.

This is why I'm glad Channel 4 don't give us these breaks in the UK. Still wish they'd start airing Season 4 sooner and keep the mid-season break though.

Man, still can't see it till tomorrow!

 

[Mike Murdock]

Alright, strong pot of coffee brewing (just kidding), I'm ready for tonight's episode.

 

[Mike Murdock]

Ouch, they just said Eli committed "Attempted Manslaughter." You can't attempt manslaughter because manslaughter is without intent while attempt has to have the specific intent to commit a crime. It's basically saying attempting to accidentally kill someone.

Side note, Eli is apparently not dead, which would be a big change from the comics if my limited understanding of this Ghost Rider is correct.

 

[giveyourself12%]

Checking in for this episode.

 

[giveyourself12%]

Reminds me of Killian's "big brain" from IM3.

 

[Mike Murdock]

I will say I'm not a huge fan of how out there the Inhumans are. I'm fine with them as a mutant metaphor or whatever, but it'll make things tricky for any future movie with the royal family.

 

[giveyourself12%]

I thought Fury was walking in. I was like, "Yes!".

Also, from Agent Carter to that. Sigh.

 

[Vartha]

I WISH marvel would at LEAST have Lockjaw appear and disappear in one show

 

[giveyourself12%]

Intense.

 

[Vartha]

I'll see it tomorrow maybe. Gotta go guys have fun!

 

[giveyourself12%]

Man Coulson needs to still be the director.

 

[giveyourself12%]

I'll see it tomorrow maybe. Gotta go guys have fun!

Later, bro!

 

[giveyourself12%]

Wow, she's keeping a terragenesis cocoon.

 

[Flint Marko]

Are we supposed to know who that woman was at the end? I didn't recognize her and I didn't hear exactly what she said.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I don't see Mace as a bad guy in the sense that Alexander Pierce is. I see him more as a "by-the-book" good guy in that he follows the rules to the letter.

Although he loosened up a bit tonight.

Parminda Nagra, she was last on the Blacklist. She was also in ER at the same time as Ming Na.

I think I liked him here a lot more than last week, and I kinda saw his big speech at the end as him possibly willing to listen to Phil's advice.

Shes the one with the beef against the inhumans, looks to be her brother got hit with a terigineis crystal, if i remember thats what happens to humans if they dont turn inhuman.

Very fun episode luna is killing it as Robbie, been a great season so far.

Also they need to add yoyo as a regular cast member shes great every time shes on the show.

 

[Uskok]

Jemma did what hundreds of bad guys couldn't - she killed Melinda May. t:

 

[Vartha]

But did she? lol

So Reyes is definitely possessed by Zarathos, which is fine by me. Haven't read the comics, but I don't like the idea that a Ghost can imbue a person with the same powers as Zarathos.
