Hydra? really?? I didn't like that twist... they kinda changed the entire direction of the show...

I like Hydra as the big bad better than the entrepreneur guy. A much bigger threat.
I very much liked the big game changer from the last episode.
 
The actress who plays "Agent Hand" (Saffron Burrows who's usually a decent actress) sucks in her part.
Very wooden acting and her lines are delivered like...she's...reading...them...off...cue...cards. IMO, she's a bad fit for the part.
 
So. Many. Twists.

Faking that 'Murican accent doesn't help one bit.
 
I personally wasn't sure if I was going to be able to stick through this show after the first few episodes, but the past four or five have really gotten good. Deathlok, HYDRA, all that...it's getting interesting in it's own right instead of just movie tie ins.
 
The acting in this show is pretty bad. Sadly, I have watched every episode though. I am glad with the Captain America tie in, but other than hoping to get information on future Marvel movies, the show is pretty much just filler for me.

I hate pretty much all the characters except Ming-Na, but that is because she is hot in a milf that was Mulan kind of way. >_<

sorry i was asking you, since that is the only thing that would make this show interesting

An Amy Acker sighting. It wouldn't be because Whedon directed the Avengers, now would it? Or is Acker just one of those scifi related actresses who tends to appear in many of scifi themed shows?

It didn't occur to me she was THAT cellist until the episode was like three quarters over.

Anyway, a filler episode. Not up to the standards of the last few.

Because it's polite not to have spoilers out in the open when it has only been a couple of days since the program has aired. A lot of people DVR shows now and watch them a few days later.

It also has a lot of plot twists, so one comment could ruin the show for someone.
 
Then don't read the damn thread if you haven't watched the show. It looks fucking retarded to open a thread and have so many post show as nothing but black blobs.

^ This.

I really don't understand people who think they should read show threads and yet somehow have spoilers blocked. If you don't want to know, don't read about it. I mean 😕

What do they want us to talk about otherwise? "Hey guys, did you see that the opening credits did that Marvel comic flippy thing again? The one part in the middle by that one person was pretty nice. And then at the end of the show, they scrolled a list of credits with people who worked on the show? It was a great episode!"
 
I agree this last episode was a letdown after all the excitement the previous two. I am glad Colston's plotlines are getting wrapped up, I like it more when he was more of a mystery.
 
Not sure why this had to be spoilered out:

I really hope agent impossibly handsome has the hots for Simmons because I dread seeing a lot more hacker girl. Chloe Bennet started off a singer and this is only her second acting gig, and it shows.

Personally I think the character portrayed by Chloe Bennet (nee Chloe Wang) is the soul of the show and thing she's doing reasonably well with her acting. No Emmy any time soon, but otherwise decent enough. I think the main issue is she really doesn't seem hackerish enough. She actually fits the China-pop-star mould a little bit better in terms of just appearance.

We'll just have to agree to disagree. I think her acting hasn't improved since the beginning of the show. I do agree that she can't pass for a hacker babe, not even in the tv world where breaking into the most secure websites on the world takes less than an hour.
 
I gotta say that the sudden violent twist seems to just be, well, violent. It's almost like one of the producers watched The Blacklist, '24' or Game of Thrones and said, "We gotta be violent like those shows!"

Personally, it spoils it for me. There are only so many times I want to see soldiers and agents get shot in the back of the head in the Marvel Universe (this one at least). Either that, or just say fuck it and get The Punisher to show up.

Wouldn't it be kinda weird if Hydra was able to take over without any violence? And they didn't even show Ward killing Koenig.

I hope May or Skye ends up giving it to him (and Bill Paxton) with that plasma gun thingy. Triplett is a much more interesting character and would make a good replacement.

Loved how Skye was able to pull it together at the end.
