Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 4x16 - What If...

[existingtm]

If I had a nickel for every time Agents of SHIELD dropped a seemingly dead, super powered character into the ocean while showing their abilities possibly preserving their life, and then never following up on it, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

[hitchell-mope]

Ohhhh. It’s Vijay Nadeer

Manish Dayal as Dr. Devon Pravesh on The Resident

[incorrectagentsofshieldquotes]

Ellen: I don’t really mind you being homosexual, I just don’t like you dating men.

Vijay: You really haven’t grasped the concept of this whole gay thing yet, have you?

Ellen: Well, there must be homosexuals who date women!

Vijay: Yeah, they’re called lesbians.

Catch me being angry about Vijay Nadeer's unresolved plot thread again

[eclecticmuses]

So AOS S5 resolved the Dr Hall/Ian Quinn/gravitonium storyline that had been left alone since S1. Which dropped storyline do you most wish would be resolved in S7? Ignoring actor availability, pure wishlist. Ex Donnie Gill, Vijay Nadeer (they really like leaving powered characters somewhat dead in the ocean), Joey the inhuman, even Snowflake (like is she just in prison...?)

DONNIE GILL DONNIE GILL DONNIE GILL

I’ve been saying since season 2 that we never saw a body so he’s probably still a frozen chunk on the bottom of the harbor. I’d love to see Vijay resolved for much the same reason--no 100% confirmed dead body, so my man is just chilling out in a husk on the ocean floor waiting for whatever.

It would be nice to see Joey again too (actually my wishlist of past characters to see revisited given the s7 format is a mile long and right at the top is my fervent wish that Bill Paxton wasn’t dead) and yeah even though I’m ambivalent on Snowflake as a character I kinda hope they let us know what happened to her, too. Did the Chronicoms kill her? Did she get out? Bueller? Also I really hope we haven’t seen the last of Flint. I know from social media posts that Briana Venskus came back for the finale so Piper at least is still around, but I hope we get some closure on Flint as well and that maybe he can finally get some tacos.

now accepting curious anons!

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 4x09 - Broken Promises

[ryder616]

Rewatching Deals with our Devils

AKA the episode where the second load of good intentions is delivered to finish paving the road to the fascist mind prison. With a side order of red herrings, because where’s the fun otherwise.

Radcliffe glimpses briefly at the Darkhold - by May’s request - and shuts it down in fear, then AIDA reads it - by Fitz’s request - and ends the episode working on some holographic brain with the same Darkhold-inspired gloves she used to build the gateway. It’s very ominous, but she is not the one we needed to worry about just yet.

In retrospect, it becomes obvious. Radcliffe has no ethical concern that cannot be immediately superseded by the prospect of cool, cutting edge science and the Darkhold is the key to the coolest and most cutting. There was no way he could glimpse at the unlimited possibilities offered by the Darkhold and not being seduced, even  if the book didn’t exert a corrupting influence. And it also does that.

Poor Agents. How often has this happened to them? To save someone, they unwittingly end up paving the way for a bigger crisis down the road. Coulson led Garrett to the GH 325 to save Skye, Fitz made Hive’s return possible to save Simmons, and now May enabled Radcliffe’s descent into mad science to save Coulson and Fitz. No good deed is ever not followed by some crazy, quasi apocalyptic horror later.

Too Legit To Quit:

Unlike Robbie, who can still be himself with the Rider inside him, at least until the Rider exerts itself fully, Mack didn’t seem to have much control at all.

It looked like the Rider latched on Mack’s desire to bring Eli to justice for the murdered redshirts and, maybe because there was no deal and he forced itself on him, Mack’s personality was overwhelmed.

It’s also possible that five years of co-habitation have taught Robbie how to assert himself and he was equally overwhelmed in the beginning. One more thing we’ll likely never know about live action Robbie.😢

Biochemical Shenanigans:

What a difference two years and at least 3 Inhuman personal friends make. Back in S2, when she had no knowledge of Inhumanity and her last alien experience had been a deadly virus, Jemma fumbled dealing with Skye’s transformation. With Vijay, however, she knows what it is all about and there’s no fear or overeaction. Only expertise and the desire to help.

Stuff:

This is evil. Well. It’s not good, that’s for sure.

Whatever you're gonna say, don't. I see the way you're all looking at that screen. We don't know what happened. [...] it’s S.H.I.E.L.D. Impossible things happen all the time. [...] I know it’s crazy, but Coulson came back from the dead, Fitz pulled Simmons through space through a rock, and Robbie’s head lights on fire. Oh, thank Asgard, at least one of you has watched the show!

We need to approach this with level heads. What? No! How is that going to be any fun?😁

No. Daisy’s right. Oh, I do like the sound of that...

[The Darkhold] might be our only shot at saving them. -- Melinda, don’t you dare. I believe this is the first time Mack calls her by her first name.

I know the feeling, when someone’s gone, and I don’t feel that now. Oh, girl...I wish I could give you all the hugs.

Regular Mack is already a pretty cool guy, what with the shotgun-axe, that body, that voice and his motorcycle. Mack Rider, though? Next level.🔥🔥🔥

One of my favorite things, VFX wise, is all the different looks for the various Ghost Riders. Robbie has a cracked skull and Johnny Blaze had the bullet hole, since that’s how they died. Mack’s and, later in the season, Coulson’s skulls don’t have visible scars but they still differ in shape and size a bit. Very cool.

Fitz still calls Coulson “sir” even though technically I don’t think he outranks him at this stage.

Burrows again with The Suitcase(tm).

You’re not allowed to be gone. Not yet. Not ever would be my choice. Unfortunately for you both, it’s not up to me.😢

Thank you, someone listens! What a mood. This is basically me watching the show and yelling at the characters. Except they never listen to me. 🤭

Never tell your brother about this next part. How happy am I that Daisy drove both Lola and the Hell Charger? Extremely.

What's going on? -- Oh, nothing. Just Mack's the Ghost Rider now, but you can't hear us, so... bloody hell. Another big mood and this is me again, after I have yelled at the characters for 30 minutes straight and have finally resigned myself to the inevitable. Until the following episode, when the cycle begins anew. 😁

It heals itself. Scientifically impossible self-healing car. 🤣🤣 

They're out of their minds. They are out of their minds. Driving off against orders... with no helmet? Mack knows better. I love how Mace’s already at the point where insubordination hardly fazes him anymore but carelessness with safety measures? That’s unacceptable.🤣

See the younger Reyes boy gets some counseling. Mace is good people.

You... What's your name? -- Nathanson, ma'am. What can I do? -- Get lost, Nathanson. And Poor Nathanson remains unwanted and unloved.

[Aida]’s as above board as a secret android could be. 🤣🤣

Daisy knocks a guy off with a cool car manoeuvre, then fights the other two hand to hand with one arm, taking the gun when she needs one. Master May would be proud.

What are you so angry about? Hey, be happy he’s not calling you traitor.😁

Because you used to make decisions like that all the time, and then you stepped down. [...] Everybody is trying to do their best to prevent another tragedy... like Lincoln. For you and Daisy, that meant throwing in the towel, but we built Aida to protect agents like him. And boy, is it going to backfire spectacularly...

I didn't throw in the towel. I ran an illegal spy agency using powered operatives on American soil. Do you think the President loved that about me? I had to step down so that you could all continue in S.H.I.E.L.D. Yet Coulson would have suggested to put one of those very same powered operatives, who had been illegally spying for him for the better part of three years, as his replacement, if Daisy hadn’t gone inconveniently rogue. How was that ever going to fly with the President and the military?

You handed it over to a director who betrayed Simmons! He sent her off, God knows where! Fitz, calm down. She’s still on the planet, still in the present, still in her native dimension. Save the meltdown for a real crisis, mate. 😁

On your left. [Daisy steers right]. Fair enough. Dude. She hardly listens when it’s corporeal people telling her what to do...😂

If this works, I could die happy. -- If it fails, you might die quickly. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Give me my vengeance on Eli. Settle my score, and I'll settle yours...All of yours! Robbie, you are a terrible negotiator. At least try to haggle a little before going all in?

You know, when this is over...you and I have a bottle of Haig to open. When this is over, she might prefer motor oil...

[agents-of-frickle-frackle]

Maybe the seer is Vijay Nadeer. You know, since they left that plot thread hanging last season.

WHEN WILL AOS RETURN VIJAY NADEER BACK TO ME I MISS HIM

im down for this tbh but i don’t see it happening. isn’t manish on a new show? not that that would immediately rule him out, but….. 

plus i feel like if they EVER DO DECIDE TO REVISIT THAT PLOT THEY DROPPED HINT HINT it’ll probably be in our own time, not in the future. (or maybe that’s just me being hopeful)

[wanderingthroughwickford]

Just finished rewatching S4 E7 of Agents of Shield (I’m going to go on to E8 afterwards to finish up the Ghost Rider arc). Damn ... what a good episode. Such great character interactions, such great acting on everybody’s part ... I’m just always blown away by this show, especially when the stakes are so high and the emotions are so intense. 

One thing that always strikes me is Robbie’s utter selflessness in this episode. It’s been made perfectly clear that having the Rider inside him is a torture to him, one that he hopes he can end once he settles all of his scores. But, after being freed of that, he willingly takes all that torment on again to save Mack - who he barely knows - from a lifetime of being possessed by the Ghost Rider. And he specifies as part of the deal that he wants to settle all the Rider’s scores, not his own, so this might mean he’ll be the Ghost Rider for life. Just ... that’s one of the most selfless and heartbreaking things I can think of?

Also, poor Gabe. Think about it - this kid lost his parents, then some years later almost died in a car crash, lost the use of his legs, and had his uncle go to jail. Then he had some semblance of a stable and happy life, making peace with his disability, until finding out that his brother is possessed by a hell demon and has killed countless people, and that his uncle himself is evil. He thinks that his brother’s dead, only for him to come back, but then he gets sucked into a portal to hell again and his uncle dies for real. And even at the end of the season when Robbie comes back, he has to go away again. Gabe is all alone. Like ... that’s really fucking tragic? The kid probably isn’t even 18 yet and he’s already had more than enough hardships for a lifetime?

One thing I’ll miss from this episode is good!AIDA. Don’t get me wrong, she worked excellently as an antagonist and her villain arc is well set-up, but ... man, she had so much potential to be a good guy. How cool would that have been, to have a robot team member? I love the part where she’s the only one who can safely read the Darkhold because she doesn’t have a human mind, and the text appears in 1s and 0s. It’s just such a shame that, in order to save Fitz, Coulson and Robbie, Radcliffe and AIDA had to be exposed to the Darkhold, inevitably corrupting them. 

And speaking of things that are a shame, it’s sad that Simmons rescues Vijay from his cocoon only for him to die two episodes later at the hands of his own sister. The scene where she reassures him everything’s going to be okay is so heartwarming and really makes me wish that he made it.

What ever happened to Ivanov’s head?

[butterfliesinwonderland]

I want to see our underwater princes again, Donnie and Vijay, the latter HAS to make a come back, but I would really like to see them both back, since I don’t think Donnie is dead
