WondLa Season 2 Review


Hello friends, I am back with season 2 of WondLa. Season One had me hooked, but it's about to get far more chaotic this season. 

Episode 1 - Turns out that the human was a hologram, like back in the sanctuary. Until another one comes out: a younger man and an older man. The group travels to New Attica. But Kit and Otto don't want to stay. Eva gets in the transport; Meego pops up to give her a history lesson. 2.2 million people live there; she is no longer the last human. The transport leaves her in a park. She finally meets Cadmus, the guy who has been sending her hologram messages a few times to her. His children show her around, and she is treated like a celebrity, and not in a good way. The girls take her into a game about the outside world; it's all wrong. She doesn't feel at home. Cadmus leaves a gift for her in her room, and she thinks it's her mother, but it's just another mother bot. She closes the door to her balcony and spots someone who looks just like her.

Episode 2 - The next day, Eva sees that woman again and chases after her. She jumps into a waterfall to follow this woman; it's a sanctuary. Eva meets Eva 8, the one who came before her. Eva 8 goes to the meeting with Eva 9 to see Cadmus, where they get swarmed by birds, and she gets a message from Otto in her mind that the flicker man is not nice. Otto means Cadmus.

Episode 3 - Eva finds her friends with Eva 8's help. Eva 8 gets scared of the aliens, but from what it seems, no one else has been able to communicate with the aliens. Kit is injured, so they all help to get him back to his people in his village. Then a giant metal spider thing starts shooting at them, Hayley, the first human Eva ever met. They escape and fly towards the wasteland.

Episode 4 - They crash because of the metal spider thing shooting at them, taking out a thruster. The ship they were flying in kind of looks like Eve's from WALL-E. They have to walk through the wasteland after they crash-landed because of the sky Whales taking out the other thruster. They run to the walking tree for cover. They meet the bartender's cousin from the place with the fish race; Eva gets advice from these characters, and they head into the sandstorm. In the sandstorm, they come across bones that they had been warned to stay away from, as a monster was there. They run to a nearby car for shelter and camp out there. Eva wakes up, and Kit is missing; she walks out of the cave to find him limping off to be eaten by the monster so the rest will be saved. The monster then makes contact with Eva and lands right in front of her. This is the biggest, most stunningly beautiful butterfly just staring right at her. Eva thinks she has made a friend, but the butterfly was ready to strike when Eva 8 attacked it, saving Eva. The three of them all go back to camp, and Eva 8 tells them of her experience in the wasteland. That's where she lost Freya, because of that butterfly.

Episode 5 - They make it back to Kit's home, but the people at the gate turn them away, saying they can't help humans and it's no home to Kit. She sneaks Kit in through the gate, past the guards, and heads towards where she can get some medicine. She steals the medicine but gets discovered; the leader of the village is Kit's father but turns him away. Eva stands up to the leader and leaves to find a bird of truth for a ceremony. Eva is about to get a lesson on the Serulians. If Eva wins, Kit will be treated; if he fails, he gets banished. The leader tells a story of a storm taking lots of villagers' lives, and they needed Kit to find a new path for a new home, but instead he left. This is the storm where Kit lost his family. Eva has a turn to speak, declaring that Kit is her father because he saved her and stayed by her side. The leader decides he wants to save his son. The community celebrates, and Eva 8 looks upset, probably because she doesn't have a father, just her sister.

Episode 6 - Eva gets shown around the village, and the leader says she is welcome in the village, and it's her home now. Eva 8 leaves to go find her friends because the village is not her home. There is a celebration in the village: dancing, music, flowers, the whole shebang. Eva gets a vision of the heart of the forest. The war machine spiders find the village, and Eva leads them away with Otto and Haley. Kit helps save the three on his pet with another villager and their pet after they had nowhere else to run. Otto tells them to head for sticky mud, and the three spider things get trapped, but one escapes and starts shooting at all of them. Eva gets stranded on an island, and Teal,  Kit's pet, jumps back over to save her but gets a foot stuck in the mud. Teal throws Eva to safety, and Kit jumps over, frees Teal's foot, and they all run off together. Haley gets knocked down while running and hurts his leg, calling for Eva. They are trapped once again, and another machine lands. Cadmus lands. He reveals Haley had them tracked. Eva 8 shows up and gets electrocuted trying to save her sister, who had also been electrocuted. Cadmus wants to save the human race with the source. The heart of the forest can save the humans, but the humans have become lazy and spoiled with technology from Cadmus.

Episode 7 - Eva 8 wakes up in a cell; Eva 9 is being held in some seat thing. Cadmus tells her a small amount of alien spores contaminated her sanctuary; that's why she is able to communicate with all of the life forms. Cadmus starts driving the machine using Eva as a compass towards the heart. Cadmus crashes when Eva escapes, and 8 manages to escape, but Eva runs off before 8 can make her stick around. Cadmus stuns 8 and tries to convince her that Eva needs their help. 8 accepts his hand and tackles him to the floor, stunning him with his electrocution omnipod. 8 announces she will protect Eva. Eva is bleeding internally but still continues on and finds sanctuary 118. The heart seems to be calling her to the tunnel. Eva goes down the tunnel, her injury worsening. The heart is in a mother unit. That's why the voice she was hearing was her mother; it was a mother, just not her own. The heart connects to Eva. Eva wakes up in her sanctuary with Meego and her mother, but Eva realises that she is not her mother; she is the heart. 8 finds her in the sanctuary and starts undoing all the vines between her and the heart, but stops and moves towards the mother unit. 8 pulls the heart out of the mother unit's hands, and all the plant life starts dying around her. 8 takes the vines off Eva to reveal Eva has gone grey, and then 8 gets kidnapped by Cadmus. As the camera pans back, we see all the surrounding trees and plant life dying.

It's a very sad moment to see Eva get defeated by Cadmus. It did seem like he would be the villain, but I am getting bad vibes from 8; maybe it's because she is traumatised by the outside world, but I just don't really like her character. She seems too needy, but again that could just be trauma, but I am loving this series, es and I cannot believe I didn't look this up sooner because it seems to just get more interesting the longer you watch. My eyes are glued to the screen. This cannot be the end of Obona (what the aliens are calling Earth now). I am very much looking forward to seeing what happens next season.

WondLa Season 1 Review


Hello and welcome to another review. I had seen a few clips from this show on tiktok and decided to check it out as it does seem interesting from the few minutes I have seen, I know there is a few seasons so I am very much looking forward to following the journey all the way though. I hope you enjoy.

Episode 1 - We meet Eva; we see her grow up alone. It's later revealed she was meant to grow up with 5 other children, but we don't find out why she grew up alone. For years, she trains to be allowed to leave the sanctuary. She enters a restricted area and finds the other door to the surface slightly open, with a note caught in some vines saying, " Eva, find me." Her robot mother makes her go to the surface because something had broken into the sanctuary. Eva escapes and is on her own, really on her own for the first time ever. She falls off a cliff, and that ends the first episode.

Episode 2 - Eva awakes in a walking tree; she hops out as it is closing around her. She spots a creature she thinks is a human; they are not. Eva almost gets eaten by a plant, and he saves her. Along the way they encounter the beast who attacked her in the santurary and he ties them up in a tree, thats where she meets otto. Eva gets out of the ropes and drops her laser pen; this pen is then stolen by what looks like a spider. She frees Otto, a large orangy creature, and then frees the blue man from his ropes. They all escape on Otto's back with Muthrr. Muthr is not functioning, so Eva has to fix her circuit board. Muthr tells Eva she is one of a few generations to grow up in the sanctuary, but there was a contamination in all but one of the pods: Eva's pod. That is why she grew up alone, but it seems she is not on Earth where they are meant to be.

Episode 3 - The blue man (Kit) is taking them on an adventure to where he bought the dynasty patch. A patch suposidly made by humans. They come across a baby sand sniper stuck in what looks like a bear trap. Eva tries to save it, but Bastilee the monster gets there before she can release it. Kit makes Eva and Muthr wear clothes so they blend in a little more. There are spider fish races in this village. Eva bets Muthr on Ole Crusty to win the race so she can get three hundred shellacks for the information on where the trader got the dynasty patch. Eva wins the race,e and Kit takes them tofriends's house in a tree for the night. Eva tries a new food,ood and the kids in the house are so curious about humans. The kids ask questions about humans she cannot answer, but the kids know of someone who tells stories about the humans. Eva sneaks out after the kids go to sleep to see this human storyteller.

Episode 4 - Eva meets darious, Eva has to give up one of her memories so she can get answers from darious. Darious starts making a tapestry. Darious uses her memory and finds out Eva is a human,;that humans were underground this whole time when they were the ones who destroyed the planet. Darious forces her out of her house, and Eva falls fa; she almost drowns, butOttoo saves her. Kit drinks half of her money and she cannot get the information she needs, the one who was going to sell her the information sells her out and traps her in a bear trap for bastille, she escapes and talks to muthr. Muthr says no to going to Solice, so Eva goes to Bastille so she can find the one who has an OmniPod like her.

Episode 5 - Eva makes it to the palace; she meets the queen and makes friends. The queen takes her to the human artifacts room; they play pinball together and bond. The queen shows her the car her father was going to give he,r and the 2 guards chase her around the castle before the queen finally takes charge. Eve finally gets the other omni pod and puts it with hers to recharge it. It transfers the data and she gives the older one to the queen saying she will call her. Eva drives off in the car the queen gave her in search of the original omni pod's owner.

Episode 6 - Eva meets up with Muthur and Otto. With Omni, they track where humans were to a bridge with sulfuric acid water underneath it. They attempt to cross; the bridge is unstable, and they cross one section on a single beam. They get stranded on another section and have to climb up the supports to the highest point to glide the rest of the way on Otto together after the car was dissolved in the acid. When they land, Eva holds up the note she had from the sanctuary,y and the view was the same as the picture.

Episode 7 - As they are walking through the street of run-down, crumbling buildings,  Eva gets Omni to scan for other signals. Omni finds another signal playing a message about it being the last human settlement, but they are all dead. Bastille finds them and hurts Muthr. Kit tells Eva to use her powers, so she calls for help, and the baby sandsnake comes to help with its whole family. Muthr says I love you to Eva before she is gone, and Eva buries her with a headstone that says, Mother. Kit has some lovely words for Eva before Omni tells her an airship is approaching. A human. No, the human who was in the hologram to start her training comes out to say he is there to take her home.

It has been an emotional story so far, and I cannot wait to see what season 2 has to offer because Eva was alone for so long. I really hope there are other humans for her to spend time with after all those years alone with Muthr and Meego the teddy. She has met some amazing friends along the way, and the journey has been eventful, but she has had fun. This is what she needed. 

Thank you so much for reading, and I will be back with season two when I have watched the full season. As I am watching about 1-2 episodes per night, it may take a week, or it may take a little longer.

Marvel Reviews w/ Rambo - S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 3 (2016)

 

!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!

  • Laws of Nature
    • My first thought was oh, somebody got hold of those crystals and disintegrated but that is a lot more destruction than a crystal.
    • His powers are extreme heat? Even when not touching the item?
    • Look at Skye being all cool with her powers and a super suit.
    • DAISY?!? YOU'RE INTRODUCING YOURSELF AS DAISY NOW?!? Lame.
    • How come none of them got on the air craft transport thing with him?
    • Who is this other agency working against SHIELD?
    • I appreciate that we are also acknowledging the fish oil thing.
    • How does she not know it's S.H.I.E.L.D. taking them?
    • Oh, she is straight up opening their chests.
    • It is crazy how much people put on their social media feeds and then assume others won't know these things about them.
    • When did Bobbi become a science geek?
    • I understand needing them to go through training and such to get the powers under control but why can't they go back to their already existing life?
    • I guess even Skye still loses control sometimes.
    • I'm glad they at least know that Simmons was swallowed, if only they could get her out.
    • Wow, Fitz is kind of turning into a bad mama jama.
    • Hey man, it is your fault you didn't stay in your car to be the get away driver.
    • If they both wanted to meet, why did they have to be locked up/detained?
    • Who in the world is this tribal porcupine hair looking Beast and why is he looking for the Inhumans? Are they a Kree?
    • What was that detonator that they set up and had go off? Were the government guys going to just abandon our S.H.I.E.L.D guys there?
    • Is that Simmons?? Where is she?? Did she swap places with a Kree and that is how they got on to Earth?
  • Purpose in the Machine
    • Why did it only morph AFTER the rest of the people showed up?
    • Back with Hydra? Baby, Ward is running Hydra.
    • I can barely remember things from the night before, how does this man remember things from centuries ago?

    • SECRET TUNNEL!
    • Sounds like making the Xmen to be honest.
    • How did he find Mae?
    • How in the world is he going to transport the monolith? He cant touch it, not to mention it is heavy...
    • What is it doing to Skye?
    • I wonder what they are going to think when they see that Ward is taking over Hydra.
    • Well, on the bright side, if Skye is going to be the one opening the portal she hopefully won't get sick from it.
    • Oh we didn't tell the god guy that we have humans with powers now did we?
    • How did none of y'all see that coming?
    • Why do I not see a cable running into the portal when they go to the shot of the hole?
    • They broke the stone?!?
    • Ooo, they saved Simmons though!
  • A Wanted (Inhu)man
    • He's just full on doing all the crime to survive now huh? Why not just help S.H.I.E.L.D.?
    • Who is this guy that is the only one he trusts?
    • So much for being able to trust this guy.
    • Shouldn't shocking a metal bat have shocked the guy too?
    • Oh, it did, my bad.
    • Just a car but had to correct that it was a him not a her.
    • To be fair, it was be KOd or do the KOing.
    • Aww, she loves him.
    • Welp, now Skye is going to hate Colson and S.H.I.E.L.D.
    • Why couldn't he have offered that something better first?? What is the something better?
    • Now why does she think she has to go back? Does she think she doesn't belong on Earth anymore?
  • Devils You Know
    • Um why is this kid floating? Is it really that hard to walk two steps to give them a towel?
    • OH! They are from the island!
    • And now they are about to lose 3 more Inhumans.
    • Or maybe only 2?
    • Who is he? Does she know the he?
    • Y'know, maybe a heads-up that they were coming to provide backup would've been nice.
    • No caccoons? Do you think they transform like butterflies from caterpillars?
    • He's allergic to his own species?
    • If he doesn't like it then why is he still doing it?
    • Why did he let Skye live?
    • HE CAN SHAPESHIFT?!?
    • Oh, the things you do, for the people you love.
    • So not only did you KO him but you also kaboomed him? Why was that necessary?
    • But why do you need to get back there?
  • 4,722 Hours
    • The fact that she remained relatively calm AND had the mindset to do voice notes of her observations.
    • That is what we are concerned about? No sun?
    • Aww she spent time thinking about their date.
    • A dust storm, fabulous.
    • But what if that water is poison to humans?
    • And now you're swimming in it. Good good.
    • Yum. FIsh.
    • How is her phone still charged??
    • Where did she get the sticks from though?
    • Why does she assume something is walking through the poles? Why can't it just be the wind?
    • They look human.
    • THEY SPEAK ENGLISH!
    • So does she want to go back for this person?
    • He didn't think she was real?
    • If that is true and a monster comes if it smells blood, what about her period? She has been there for over a month roaming around.
    • How does he have all these things from Earth with him?
    • HE'S AN ASTRONAUT!
    • He does not look like he has been there for 14 years.
    • It's funny that he is surprised that the phone has 128 GB of space when I have one that is a TB.
    • How did NASA get the monolith?
    • Survival is not all that matters because surviving implies that there is a future and unless you can thrive, there is no need to survive.
    • Is this why she cried at the dinner? She was thinking of this Astronaut?
    • A sword? Were there people before NASA?
    • Looks like she found the human remains. And an unknown cloaked figure.
    • OH! That was the no fly zone. Hmm.
    • Aw man, that would've been so dope if that bottle had made it to the portal.
    • Oops. Gemma is falling for this other older guy.
    • So much for the sunrise.
    • Why would he tell her to run and that she could make it when they could run together.
    • Can he really be mad at her? She was there for weeks!
    • Aww, he got to see the sunrise. Atleast he is alive.
    • I wonder if there is a difference in how time goes by there and that is why the guy from 14 years prior didn't seem to be nearly as old as he should have been.
  • Among Us Hide ...
    • Oh wow. That wasn't him that was there lying on the ground bleeding out.
    • Is him calling her Tremors really healthy?
    • That was a cool tool, unlocking all of the boxes like that. It's a shame it triggered all the alarms though.
    • Oh, it was her personal house that she got a call about? Dang.
    • You knew Colson was getting a tour today, you can not get upset about him being there.
    • THE PROFESSOR IS THE BEAST?!?
    • Does he know he is the Beast?
    • Oh he definitely knows he is that Beast. He ended up setting the fire himself to hide it.
    • That would explain why he is so against the initiative, because he doesn't want them to exist at all.
    • They were so concerned it was the other government agency that was provided the Beast with the intel but it's actually S.H.I.E.L.D.
  • Choas Theory
    • So he became exposed when trying to help S.H.I.E.L.D., he wasn't always this way.
    • How did he get control of his so quickly?
    • Is his power like a Jackyl and Hyde situation?
    • I wonder if Fitz is hurt by her being with another guy while she was stranded in a strange world...
    • Ooo, that's cool. Never seen that before. The plane not only lands on top of the base but it becomes part of the base.
    • Seeing a photo of him there makes him very real.
    • Maybe the Doc doesn't actually have it under control, he looked like he was getting ready to attack.
    • Who gave the doctor a night night defense?
    • Why didn't he just come clean and tell them when he transformed?
    • Why didn't Colson just start using a clip on tie?
    • I am still curious if Colson would've turned into an Inhuman too since he was brought back to life with the Alien DNA. I guess we will never know though huh?
    • She is constantly learning new things she can manage with her powers.
    • Another secret ancient order taking over the world. Good grief.
    • She isn't working with the government; she is working with Hydra. That's messed up
  • Many Heads, One Tale
    • Why are we continuing to have Mae be in the dark?
    • Did he really just sacrifice all those people on that plane?
    • How does he recite everything she says while also listening to her say more? I get so scrambled doing just that.
    • Oh god, not a single finger chopstick typer.
    • Aww, she loves them both.
    • Wait, did Hydra take the Doc away and tell S.H.I.E.L.D. nothing??
    • They are trying to turn people themselves?
    • That's very fair, she did indeed say Tahiti.
    • DOES SHE HAVE A PILL TO TURN HIM?!?
    • Are you telling me she doesn't even know what is going on in her own office?
    • Oh, so now you want to come clean about who told you about Tahiti.
    • Uhoh. Not gonna lie, kind of cool with the telekinesis, even if it is against the good guys.
    • How do they ensure that nobody is in those parking spots?? That is a very big section to keep cleared.
    • Is that stone from in the hole in the giant monolith? I wonder what would've happened if the parts were all put into it before it was destroyed.
    • Hydra isn't Hydra. It's the Ram.
    • What does all of this have to do with the Inhumans though?
  • Closure
    • ...
  • Maveth
    • ...
  • Bouncing Back
  • The Inside Man

Marvel Reviews w/ Rambo - Jessica Jones Season 1 (2015)

 

While not a bad show, I am very disappointed to find out that the entire reason we spent 13 episodes trying to follow this man, took herself out of the equation before the job could be finished. On top of the fact that it took one final episode to actually track him down and snap his neck in a quick, seemingly effortless motion. THIRTEEN EPISODES PEOPLE. And not just like 30-minute episodes. No. Full hour episodes that, if aired on live television wouldve ended up being at least 90-minutes because of ads. Which means it would've felt like you were watching a movie with potty breaks preinstalled. And now what? Now she is just going to have her super strength power out in the open? The world is going to try to take advantage of her, again, technically, according to this show, she almost became an avenger once already, as it is. So, again, while not a bad show, and it has decent chemistry between the cast members, it feels very drawn out and a little unfufilling because of how drawn out it is.

!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!

  • AKA Ladies Night
    • We aren't getting any type of preview to the show? Just straight into the title credits?
    • She's a private eye. Okay then.
    • She looks like Sofia Carson
    • Is she okay? Why is she sneaking around apartments?
    • Where did she get that address from?
    • She drinks more than she should while working.
    • So is she working multiple cases or taking a break between?
    • Will the cases end up being connected?
    • DID SHE JUST PICK UP HIS CAR?!?
    • So neither of them is going to say anything to each other? ... Sorry? Sorry for what? Walking out on him?
    • I'm so confused, what is wrong with her?
    • Why do her neighbors argue every day?
    • How does she know this guy?
    • What did he make her do?
    • Are we hoping they vacate the room, and that is why we pulled the fire alarm?
    • Why is the fire alarm not going off in the room? Isn't that kind of a hazard? How would an occupant know to evacuate?
    • Why is she refusing to leave?
    • Did she just knock her out by hitting her head on the wall?
    • Hey! Blondie is the actress who is in "The Boys"!
    • Now, why in the world did she have that in her bag, and how did Jessica not know? Is that what he made her do? Why didn't she check the bag for that?
    • Does the guy have some type of mind control power?
  • AKA Crush Syndrome
    • Um, excuse me, but you still need a search warrant to enter the office, even if it is part of the crime scene. Anything indoors requires one.
    • His name is KillGrave?
    • Soooooo it's happening in Hell's Kitchen? It takes place in the same area as the Daredevil series, then. Is this the same timeframe, too, or different?
    • Dude, Jess is right. When you are so loud every single day that the entire building is tired of hearing it, it becomes everyone's business.
    • THEY'RE RELATED?!? That makes it so much worse.
    • I thought you couldn't live without at least one kidney?
    • That is so sad that he wants to die.
    • Wait, did she actually stalk the bar guy and snitch on the wife for her own personal gain or was she actually hired?
    • HOME BOY IS JUST SLAPPING THEM UPSIDE THE HEAD AND KNOCKING THEM OUT!
    • Whoa, his skin is impenetrable?
    • They really just gave that information out just like that?
    • Why in the world is the professor running?
    • How in the world is she going to prove it? Especially if there are people with powers involved?
    • If your home doubles as your office or vice versa, why would you want a semi-opaque glass window as your front door?
    • Did she just sneeze blood into a cup?
    • Why is this guy so obsessed with her that he is doing all these things?
    • I think you're gonna need to buy that handyman a new blade...
  • AKA It's Called Whiskey
    • Welp, so much for fixing her apartment.
    • The superhero dating scene is very interesting.
    • She was almost part of the initiative???
    • Bullet proof windows? They let you do that in an apartment?
    • So does blondie have powers too?
    • How did he know her name?
    • Why are they letting her tell her story on a radio show?
    • Are we worried now that the victim who KOd her parents is going to KO herself overnight?
    • She was doing so well keeping him at bay. He doesn't even sound like the guy from the radio.
    • Jessica made it in time! Yay!!
    • What is she going to do with the guy once she sedates him?
    • Why does the cop need to be KO'd??
    • He used Jessica to KO people?!? That is messed up.
    • How can he control so many people at once?
    • How did she learn how much force is just enough to put people to sleep rather than KO? How many times did she get it wrong?
    • WHY IS THIS MAN SO OBSESSED WITH HER?
    • Okay, but like that is another victim of his antics that remembers being controlled by him. You could use him in the court case if you sent him to that lady.
    • Aww, I thought she was going to come clean about KOing her for a second there.
  • AKA 99 Friends
    • If this lady knows so much about the affair, why doesn't she just do the dirty work and get the pictures herself?
    • It's because Jessica told him that she wasn't actually dead.
    • These people are crazy.
    • Not a little kid! C'mon man!
    • Wow. So ungrateful. Keep a better eye on your kid lady.
    • That's sweet of him to give her that to protect herself.
    • I really hope she didn't do anything stupid, he seems sweet enough when he isn't being controlled.
    • Does she actually know 99 "gifted" people?
    • Dang, it's her own friend. That sucks.
  • AKA The Sandwich Saved Me
    • She has an office job now?
    • She straight-up broke that machine.
    • Ma'am, he could be doing worse things then google you ... he could be taking advantage of his cop job and do full searches of you.
    • Why do we need costumes for a one-time thing?
    • Are we getting flashbacks? Is that what these moments are? Why is there not more indication?
    • Yeah, because the black beanies and glasses don't make you all look suspicious or anything.
    • Who are these meatheads?

    • They were so close!!!
    • Now we know, look for the tracker before stopping the car.

    • It's nice to see him getting sober.
    • Why in the world would she want somebody to beat her up?
    • Why didn't she just mention it to the lawyer? Not to mention, it could be used against the attacker in the lawsuit.
    • I really do not understand his obsession with her and needing her picture...
    • Infect? With what?
    • Girl, you need to just come clean to him already.
    • I wonder what his wife's powers were that the British guy was using her...
    • There's a cover-up to the cover-up?

    • Oh good, lawyer lady thought to take the fetus for testing.
    • Why does he need the house? Is he trying to start a life with her? Is he that crazy?
    • Oh, it's her childhood home, huh? That makes it weirder...
  • AKA Top Shelf Perverts
    • I realized why this dynamic of KillGrave and Jessica feels so familiar; it makes me think of Rumplestiltskin and Emma's dynamic from OUAT.
    • Why did she wait so long to jump out of the train's way? And why did she jump onto the opposite platform?
    • How did she not notice that faster? And why did he need to do that to him anyway? It's not like she was returning the advances...
    • Why does she care who comes out of Jess' apartment? Get over yourself.
    • If the bar is closed during the day, why do they leave the door unlocked?

    • ...She really jumped in the river to pull out the body? Jesus.
    • How did British man figure out what she was doing???

    • DANG IT, HE KNOWS TO GET RID OF THE EVIDENCE!
    • What is that horrible sound and why is it on repeat??
    • Is Reuben on the spectrum and not fully developed and that is why she treats him like he is 5?
    • So you're telling me that even the blonde sister who "adopted her" didn't like her at first? That's nuts.
  • AKA WWJD?
    • Why did he think setting it up like this would make her happy?
    • I don't know how I feel about her choice of breakfast components and how she assembled them.
    • I know he wants to know more about her but doesn't he stop to think that maybe she doesn't want to relive these moments?
    • Aww, he was treated like 11 from Stranger Things.
    • Is this how he got his powers or did he have them before the testing?
    • Seriously? Can't we do just a little longer than the time the trip is said to take?
    • Why was he holding it so far in his mouth?
    • Do we really think he is going to turn over a new leaf and be a good guy?
    • Is he only willing to be a hero if he has her?
    • Oof, that makes sense why she blames herself for her family dying.
    • Somebody has attachment problems.
    • Why does he have Jess' phone?
    • Dang. She put the two of them to sleep in order to get him to a point of knocking him out? This is insane.

  • AKA I've Got The Blues
    • So, literally, her friend wasn't even actually her friend, and the mom did it for publicity. That is insane. This whole show is insane.

    • Why did she just run out in the street like that?
    • Why didn't she just go to the hospital? Why is she putting serranwrap.
    • 2 things; first, why is she having so many more flashbacks now than before? Second, she didn't always have her powers? Did it come from the accident?
    • What in the world did he do to that body? How do we know it is the scientist?
    • What is wrong with Sgt?
    • OH! It wasn't the scientist that she was looking at, it was the detective.
    • How many little red candies can he take before he ODs?

    • EXCUSE ME BUT WHO SET THAT UP?!? DID HE DO IT TO HIMSELF OR WAS IT STUPID BRAIN BRITISH GUY?!?
  • AKA Take A Bloody Number
    • Is this the first time we are actually hearing Luke's full name??

    • I thought mom didn't know where she lived?
    • So, IGH may be who is making the mutants? Are they mutants or Inhumans?
    • I mean, are you really surprised he has a middleman picking up and delivering? It's just like he did with your friend in your building to spy on you.
    • I thought that man was going to cut his tongue or uvula out, not fall down on them and stab himself through the neck.
    • I thought he was going home? Why is he still in the building helping the crazy sister?
    • He asks for rest, and you make him blend himself instead??
    • Wow, he planned everything that far out?
    • I really don't understand why he wants to torture her so much. All because she doesn't want to be in his life.
    • I thought his skin was indestructible? How was she able to pew pew him?
  • AKA Smile
    • He is such a chicken.
    • How did that not go into his eye and suck the liquid out of his eye? Actually, scratch that, how does going through the eye allow you to extract spinal fluid? Or did she say cranial fluid? I don't even remember at this point.
    • THEY USED THE FETUS TO MAKE HIM STRONGER??
    • I'm not gonna lie, I was super confused by the random music cutting in and out at first, had to pause the show while it was going in order for me to actually figure out it was the show.
    • He said goodbye to her, does that mean he no longer cares to keep her alive?
    • What is Patsy going to do to help stop them from fighting?
    • Uh oh, she lost her headphones.
    • I really hope that Jessica and Patsy have some secret thing going on right now and that she isn't actually going to go with him.
    • I LOVED how she looked over his shoulder at Patsy when she said 'I Love You'.
    • It was that easy to snap his neck and it took us 13 hours to get to this point?!?!?!?! Wow. Just wow.
    • They all want her to be their personal body guard/hit for hire.

Marvel Reviews w/ Rambo - Daredevil Season 1 (2015)

 

Overall, not a bad start to the series. I do like that we are getting a lot of information as we progress, about the history of our characters, which provides us with insight as to why they are making the choices that they are. I will say, though, the 2003 movie did a much better job in making us aware of the powers that showed in our hero from an early age. The show almost made it seem like he grew into and enhanced the powers as time progressed. I do wish they had done a better job of making him appear as though he were blind. I know that he became blind later rather than being born blind, but there should still be some type of discoloration in his eyes, shouldn't there be? On a similar note, I do appreciate the amount of effort they put into having him use the technology that an actual blind individual would interact with.

!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!

  • Into the Ring
    • Somebody get us some help. As if there weren't just three people surrounding him when you ran up. Like you made them back up away from him.
    • This is a long talk with the priest... was this necessary?
    • Only a $1k per person? Man, a parent spends 300k on a kid by the time they are 18, you can atleast get 10 times what you did by stealing them away. God knows the person that buys them is going to make even more off them.
    • Why do we assume the moan is somebody else in bed rather than just him stretching.
    • I'm sorry he has been practicing law for 7 hours? They didn't work anywhere before hand?
    • Why are they trying to take out this poor girl in her cell like that?
    • Do you think the actor struggled to not look at people and stuff when talking without the glasses on?
    • Wow, his other senses really are enhanced.
  • Cut Man
    • She looks familiar.
    • Wait, is this our Daredevil guy or somebody else?
    • Aww, little Daredevil is a little doctor for his daddy.
    • You can do homework while watching the match, multitasking man.
    • Wait, is he blind here?
    • So the girl they saved in the first episode works for them now?
    • Is she going to become his private doctor and know his secret identity?
    • His current costume makes me think of Zorro.
    • Aww, is his dad going to throw the fight? And by that I mean not the way he is being paid to do so.
    • Did they stop to think that maybe he isn't home?
    • Everyone gets a mask now!
    • HE HEARD HIS DAD GET SHOT FROM HERE?!?
    • That's messed up that they keep him locked away like that.
  • Rabbit in a Snowstorm
    • Dang, smashed him in with a bowling ball all because he wouldn't let him play?
    • Why did he hide the gun?
    • Oh so they did intern! That should count as experience in my opinion.
    • Not one but 3 cars? Jesus.
    • But he didn't do the trustworthy thing with this new client?
    • Every time they say Hell's Kitchen I assume they mean the show...
    • Wow, he is going against his own conscience.
    • I LOOK AWAY FOR TWO SECONDS AND HE SLAMS HIS HEAD INTO A SPIKE?!?
    • ...It looks like a plain white canvas to me.
  • In the Blood
    • Ooo we haven't seen our dock lady in a little bit, nice to see she didn't just disappear.
    • At least he is trying to be considerate and offering to call before showing up.
    • Lol they mentioned Iron Man and Thor.
    • Having a previous boss named McClintock and a current boss named Murdock is not very helpful when you are going to try saying one of them OD'd on pills and I mix up the two names...
    • He is very soft-spoken, and it is a little weird, considering she speaks at a normal volume and her voice reverberates.
    • So he can speak at a normal volume! Why does he keep going back and forth?
    • Why is he complaining? They have money now, don't they? Can't he decorate the office?
    • Not him throwing his blind walker thing in the trash. What are those things called, actually? Because I almost said crutch, but it's definitely not that. Is it considered a cane?
    • Why is she sketching the bidders? They could just be completely random people.
    • Why does he absentmindedly touch the pin like that?
    • She has adapted to him being part of her life very quickly. She knew he would come to save her and that it was him who turned out the lights. I am also astonished that she managed to think to maneuver to get her hands free like that.
    • When does he get the red suit?
    • See? That easy. He got the office equipment that he wanted.
    • Well, that wasn't a no technically.
    • That's crazy that the blood spattered all the way across the back seat of the car.
  • World on Fire
    • He is slick, that is for sure. But she also very clearly wanted him to be romantically involved in her life from that first day they met.
    • HE HAS NO HEAD.
    • There is no way he would ever leave a calling card like that, c'mon guy.
    • A stun gun? Do you think that will be enough?
    • Do his glasses change colors or does he have multiple pairs?
    • God dang, the cops are on that other crooks team.
    • Aww, he is so sweet, trying to help her fix up the place while they work on the lawsuit.
    • Why is he playing into the thing of cutting off the Russian's head? That wasn't him...
    • Ooo, she gave him a second chance.
    • What is he going to do with the body after he cleans it up?
    • Well, that is one way of spinning the truth.
    • ...Does she realize that he is the one that started this fire? Is she secretly evil?
    • OH! Did Marcel purposefully call in a wrong location to trick the peoples for the fire to go off?
    • Oopsies. He's in trouble now.
  • Condemned
    • Why is he using playing cards to track his theories?
    • OH! It's tracking the hierarchy of it.
    • Sure, let's just notify the whole building yelling in the stairwell.
    • How is he seeing right now?
    • Poor new kid has no idea what he is doing.
    • Shouldn't we pretty much know all this stuff the Russian is telling us? Oh well I guess we do, it's our hero that doesn't.
    • Dang, he faked that he was weak so that he could overtake the hero.
    • Oh no, our hero was meant to be painted as just that, not the criminal who "shot cops".
  • Stick
    • Wow. That blade cut right through him.
    • HE'S BLIND TOO!!
    • Chubby is gonna be backtracking if and when he finds out his so-called devil is his best friend.
    • Does he get all his court papers printed in braille?!? Cool.
    • Ooo, I thought he was going to be a new fighter for our hero to take on, but it's a sensei.
    • Why should he have to be alone forever?
    • How did the old guy know about all this stuff way back then?
    • Aww, she thinks Froggy is handsome.
    • Why do they assume she was snooping? She dropped off groceries!
    • A little kid?
    • Why were we aiming for the kid?!?
    • Who the heck is this broad-shouldered man? And why does our old sensei sound like a transformer with his deep voice?
  • Shadows in the Glass
    • Y'know, sometimes Baldie comes off as a normal man just trying to live his life. And then he goes and has to make a call like those buildings going kaboom, and you realize he's an actual threat.
    • Aww, big boss man was just an innocent child forced to do bad things.
    • What is the significance of the Black Sky?
    • Fisk's father ran for election? And his mom was past due on expenses to the company he now owns? My, how things have changed.
    • Where does Froggy get his lingo from???
    • Wow, he was really going to take out his own partner.
    • Wow, I thought the bully was going to be a little kid that matched his son's stature, not a full-grown teen/adult. 
    • It almost feels like Baldie doesn't want to be a bad guy and blames his dad.
    • Of course she speaks english dummy! How else would she understand you without a translator?
    • Uh oh, are they going to go after his girlfriend?
    • Wow, he is strong!
    • I thought chinese lady just told him he is getting weak, how is a relationship going to help?
    • Is she secretly a bigger mob boss than he is? Is she going to take over? lol
    • HE KILLED HIS OWN FATHER?!?
    • Oh, the painting he baught reminds him of staring at the blank wall.
    • Wow. Now his name is out in the open and that journalist guy just got rid of the entire article he just typed up.
  • Speak of the Devil
    • All our people are starting to converge into a single team now.
    • If we take out Fisk in this first season who is going to be the villain in the next one?
    • Is he really going to turn what the chinese woman said to him onto the zorro wanna be hero?
    • I mean better to have them offer double the money offer than take their lives.
    • Wonder if he will recognize his voice?
    • :( And here we are mourning the loss of the woman anyway. That is messed up.
    • -.- Are we really about to blame the residents of the building for this?!?
    • Fisk is a good actor.
    • Wait, did we do a time jump in this episode?
    • Uhoh, are the besties gonna end up dead now too?
    • FIRE!
    • Fisk wanted this? Are you serious?
    • Aww, he cares for his friends well being. Bet he sobered up real fast though, huh?
    • And now he knows the truth.
  • Nelson v. Murdock
    • Wonder if the friend figured out to call the doctor lady?
    • The answer to the above is yes.
    • Why is he now confused about the blindness? HE KNOWS HIM SINCE COLLEGE! 
    • Sir, you weren't lied to; you just don't have all the information.
    • I don't believe that. You can be light for those who deserve it and shadow for those who don't deserve the light.
    • Aww, she was doing so well holding a conversation with her, and then she backtracked. That is so sad.
    • I'm surprised that Froggy didn't know about the listening thing beforehand because of the lie detecting and such.
    • Their bond in college is very cute and sincere, and the fact that his friend is now hating him for not telling him about being a vigilante is very sad.
    • So who does Baldie have in this old folks' home?
    • Is it going to be his friend who designs his suit?
    • They went to see his mom. Wow.
    • Are we tattling on him to his mommy?
    • In this moment, giving that speech, I start to think that Baldie should be a Gotham badguy with the ice guy and the penguin man.
    • THEY'VE BEEN POISONED!
    • Aw, Froggy is leaving!
  • The Path of Righteous
    • Wow. Little Nurse pushed back on Baldie and refused to let him in. She has guts. She will be dead by morning.
    • Ew, he went crawling back to blondie.
    • His doctor friend came back again?
    • So Baldie will end up taken care of all on his own?
    • Aww, he wants to protect his girlfriend. Tin Man has a heart.
    • Oh yeah, sure, just shoot all over in the air and hope something sticks, that always works out well.
    • Isn't Vistain his mom? Why did he put her to voicemail?
    • They went to visit her a couple of days prior though I thought? Why is she only just calling now to tell them? Also, how does she have the mindset to tell them about it? Maybe she is just doing it innocently... I hope.
    • Oh yeah, that was so discreet compared to how he was doing it originally.
    • Aw, he is crying like a baby.
    • HIS SUPER SUIT!
    • Aww, he is keeping his secret even if he doesn't want to.
    • It's crazy that Paige managed to take that shot. I feel like it is going to haunt her for the rest of her life.
    • ... I wonder if Baldie heard the shot ring out and if he is going to hunt her down now for KO-ing his man.
  • The Ones We Leave Behind
    • Look at them talking all civilized and making jokes.
    • Working on his super suit lol.
    • She thinks he was good! Hey, at least it gets her to listen to him for a second.
    • Why doesn't she just come clean to him that she was kidnapped? She doesn't have to mention what she did.
    • Take back that soul girl! 
    • Why was the other blind person suspicious to him?
    • Wow, he knows the city VERY well...
    • Oh, wow, get accused of being paid off by Baldie and respond by firing the guy, totally makes sense. Couldn't just run his stupid article in a back-page fold of the paper somewhere.
    • Hope the door doesn't lock behind him ... oh it didn't.
    • Why are there so many blind people?
    • How did he escape the horde of blind zombies attacking him?
    • I definitely thought he was calling our masked man a heroine instead of discussing the white powder.
    • Where is considerably further than China from New York?
    • Y'know, it's really weird how sometimes the people with Alzheimer's have no recollection of 5 minutes ago, and then there are nights where they remember everything that has ever happened to them since birth.
    • OH MY LORD! Did the Newspaper Boss snitch on him to Baldie??
    • Poor journalist man. :(
  • Daredevil
    • She is rightfully paranoid about Baldie coming for her next to be honest.
    • Vanessa was the target, and she's somehow the only one who had a medical problem that survived.
    • 10 MILLION?!?
    • His world is about to come crashing down and it's mostly his own doing.
    • Aww, Froggy has been stealing documents from the other law firm on Baldie. He's gonna be dead next and if he isn't he definitely won't be practicing law anymore.
    • Glad the team is back together now.
    • They are horrible at lying to her.
    • Is Froggy going to follow after Zorro and end up hurt?!?
    • I love that these other cops looked at him with his bloodied face but didn't even look phased that it could be something serious.
    • These people are going to be watching their backs for the rest of their lives or until everyone in kahoots is killed off. There is no in between.
    • So who is going to run the city now with all these people being taken into custody?
    • Aww, he got her a ring.
    • If you truly loved all the people in your city, you wouldn't have wanted to harm any of them whether they worked for or against you or neither.
    • HE CORRUPTED THE FEDS?!?
    • How does he expect him to see the color differences in the suit?
    • She will be the new villian won't she?
    • Oof, using his own weapon against him is vicious.
    • Aww, no Karen and Froggy romance story for us.
    • Sees a concrete wall thinks of his ex.

Marvel Reviews w/ Rambo - Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2 (2015)

 

I really did not appreciate how much our team jumped from being on one side to another and how they kept turning on each other with every new development. I do appreciate that they eventually came around and supported one another again but why did we need to go through everything that we did? And why in the world do there need to be so many people that think their branch of the evolutionary web is the best? Why can't we just acknowledge that every branch has it's pros and cons compared to the others and that every branch is going to have it's bad eggs that we need to work together to protect against?

!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!

  • Shadows
    • The tiny glasses are a choice thats for sure.
    • Is this hinting at us unboxing all these dangerous things?
    • Ooo, so the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents that were bad when hydra started taking over are selling secrets to random people now? Fun.
    • They got actual news reporters to appear in the movies? I wonder how much they got paid for that...
    • Are we going to get more of a background on some of these other agents that have joined the team?
    • Ooo, he can turn his skin into diamond.
    • Poor Fitz, he may not be qualified as a special agent anymore.
    • Skye looks just different enough to almost look like a different actress but isn't.
    • Why are we allowing the traitor to live?
    • That is a LOT of Hydra sleeper agents.
    • Why wouldn't he make his entire body that material to stop himself from getting hurt?
    • They couldn't have rehearsed the lines a little beforehand? Or used flashcards instead of hand gestures?
    • They're just gonna let her go with the item like that?
    • Ya couldn't have cut it off back at the location so they could box it back up to take to Colson?
    • I'm surprised that Mae didn't get hit. 
    • WHAT DO YOU MEAN SIMMONS LEFT?!? HE HAS BEEN TALKING TO HER THIS ENTIRE TIME.
  • Heavy is the Head
    • What do you mean you can't get him out of there? What is pinning his leg? He looks like he should be able to just slide out the window.
    • Did they capture him just to drop him?
    • Mouth breathing mercs?
    • Why would we rather catch a vigilant then the bad guy?
    • Was their name really Idaho like the dtate?
    • I feel like this season is going to be pushing Skye out of everything and that is a shame because I like her and she kind of helped keep the team functioning as well as they did last season.
    • Sure, tell her to hang on as she is already a gonner.
    • So what was that material that he absorbed?
    • S.H.I.E.L.D. may not be a life for most but for Skye it most definitely is sir and if you really knew her and belonged with the team in both heart and soul, you would know that. But you're just another two-timer, so you don't.
    • The British guy is two-timing them, right? He's getting paid the millions to lead the government to Colson?
    • Did he really take out the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents so he could take out the metal guy using lethal means?
    • Did they KO him?
    • I thought he already worked for you and he turned on you? Why would you let him back in?
    • You're going to finish shattering his world saying she left dude.
    • What do the symbols actually mean?
    • Who is this new guy? And why is he making her touch the thing? Why isn't she dying like the others?
    • Why so many cars?
    • Well, if they are hardly S.H.I.E.L.D. anymore, then you should have no problem with them continuing to operate.
  • Making Friends and Influencing People
    • SIMMONS!
    • They use Fitbits? Cool.
    • Where is Simmons working now?
    • How did the Ice Kid get to Morocco?
    • Home boy is turning himself into a bad guy by freezing the dude, not to mention confirming the fears of him being harmful.
    • Interesting that they really only appear to be frozen on the surface even though they are frozen enough to shatter into pieces that allow us to see that.
    • Has he known that Simmons was here all along or did he just search her up?
    • What is the point of putting the beverage into a glass when it is already in a bottle you can drink out of?
    • Wait, did you just say she is working for Hydra?!? I thought the pin on her jacket resembled the emblem, but I was hoping I was wrong.
    • Do they know that Colson visited her?
    • Ooo, they are turning her into more of a Hydra agent by putting her out in the field. Can she do it? Maintain her cover?
    • How are we considering this her first mission? She did tons of missions with S.H.I.E.L.D., she even almost died from getting shot during one.
    • OH DANG! HE IS PUTTING HIM THROUGH WHAT HE WENT THROUGH. He's going evil.
    • Oh no! They are going to take out Simmons!
    • How can he freeze everyone inside without freezing them on top too?
    • Poor Donny, wonder if they will retrieve him from the water?
  • Face My Enemy
    • Why are we stealing a painting?
    • Mae is so different when she is on an Op then when she is existing with the team.
    • Writing on the back of the painting? It's giving National Treasure...
    • That's crazy that they can just shapeshift like that with a flimsy digital mask AND change their voice too.
    • So he knew Mae wasn't herself because of the coffee comment but he didn't think the military guy was a fake even after he said he wouldn't break his cover? Make that make sense.
    • How can they trace a call on the secure line? I thought that was the point of a secure line?
  • A Hen in the Wolf House
    • I don't know if we should be proud of Simmons or scared of what is to come?
    • So what is Skye's actual name then since he wants to point out that it isn't her name.
    • Does he understand that is his version of Simmons is thinking things about guys being cute that he probably thinks that too right?
    • Uhoh, Simmons is getting sloppy with her work... Wait, how did she move that file to the other guys drawer that quickly?
    • Why can't they just let her go if she wants to go?
    • I KNEW THAT PERSON LOOKED FAMILIAR! SHE'S PART OF SHIELD!
    • See, she just wanted to see who her father was.
    • I'm sorry, did Colson KO those people to trick Skye into thinking her father is a monster?
    • What is Fitz gonna say when he sees Simmons? Will he think she is fake?
    • How does her hair make her unreasonable?
  • A Fractured House
    • That's kind of crazy that the rest of the world doesn't see S.H.I.E.L.D. as a problem, just the US government.
    • Excuse me but there is no way those guys were part of S.H.I.E.L.D., they would never purposefully want to do harm to those leaders. That is Hydra, no doubt.
    • How the heck do both Ward brothers end up working for the wrong team?
    • Why did he have to change the subject? And why did Skye get in trouble for it?
    • So were these two conversations not happening at the same time?
    • What do you mean he was never on your team? He was def originally part of the team.
    • I wonder what the brother is going to do with him when the custody exchange is over.
    • Why does everyone keep turning to dust?
    • Ya'll really didn't think to secure him better than that? He was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent at one point, y'all know what he is capable of.
    • Wait, wasn't that the guy that had a burnt face and put on the metal body before being imploded?
  • The Writing on the Wall
    • How do these people who we have not seen get the alien injection have the same symbols running through their minds?
    • Glad we were smart enough to put people on multiple buses.
    • I wonder what the marker is that she finds that determines it had the GH injection.
    • Oh, wow, there were 6 people before them. Six lives that will never be the same but they weren't going to exist anyway, were they? At what point is it not ethical? 
    • How do you think they found this Host that they use for the cures?
    • Uhoh, the Hydra guys are going to take him back...
    • Okay, so it is not the guy that disappeared, but maybe he is related to him?
    • Take care of him, how?
    • Both? The killer was there and didn't end his life? That's wild.
    • Little does he realize that Colson is a lunatic now too.
    • Do you need to carve bodies to go deep though or can you do something else like a side of a cliff or such?
    • So once you find the final answer to the puzzle, you lose the urge? That's good to know. Technically, you could help others with the serum now and just give them that solution to stop them from having the urge.
    • Is this going to be a journey to the center of the Earth mission now? Trying to find that city... What if the city isn't even on Earth. Maybe we should ask Thor.
    • Uhoh, he is gonna pretend to be his brother and do political stuff now? This could be very dangerous for the world...
  • The Things We Bury
    • Sometimes I question if this is meant to be modern or not because they come off very WWII in their ways.
    • The face looks the same and the glasses are the same but the clothes and the accent are very much different. I wonder if he is just immortal and they are indeed two seperate time frames. Unless they are twins raised by different parents in different areas and its all the same timeframe.
    • How the heck did he get these oddly specific instructions?
    • We are getting a lot about Agent Carter, was this intentionally done to lead up to her show airing back then? Because in a few more episodes we will be switching over to her show for a brief time...
    • Is this guy talking to blondie about getting into the inner temple and reuniting with his family, secretly part of the alien species that built the temple, and also known as Skye's dad?
    • Are all the people who can interact with the item without dying part alien?
    • A Senator who takes responsibility for his choices/actions? Sure sure.
    • Is he going to dig out the well and throw his brother the Senator into it?
    • Wow, haven't had anybody use cyanide on the show in a minute.
    • If he wanted validation in what happened why didn't he just go to the youngest brother and ask him how he remembers it? Although, I guess that if the older brother told the middle brother before doing it, that the youngest brother may not actually know...
    • Do you think oldest brother became a politician to try and buy his parents love with success?
    • When did Fitz get his other hand working? I guess maybe the repetition...
    • Why is this secret city in Australia? It feels off.
    • Adrenaline junky.
    • Dude, just because that isn't what you named her doesn't mean that isn't the name she chose for herself. Get over yourself and deal with the name they all use.
    • Oh dang, he not only took out his brother but also his parents. We missed that part of the escapades.
    • That is a lot of blood on Colson's shirt.
    • 25 years ago?!? He doesn't look like he aged at all!
    • Wait, so who is the mom and who killed her? Was she the one on the operating table that he took everything from?
  • Ye Who Enter Here
    • COLSON AND MAE ARE THE ONES WHO PICKED HER UP AS AN INFANT?!? That can't be true! We met the guy last season, who said he had picked her up and that the female agent who had also been a part of it had passed away.
    • Why can't he talk to Simmons? Is it because of the fact that he talked to her when she wasn't actually there?
    • WHAT HAPPENED TO MAE'S FACE?!?
    • We haven't seen that guy since the start of the season.
    • How come she gets a lanyard just like that but the rest of them had to go through the ringer for theirs?
    • THERE ARE TWO OF THOSE GUYS!
    • Oh my god, I just realized that the new blondie agent (Agent Bobbi) is the same actress who plays the commander lady on The Orville!
    • Sam and Billie both think the other is the shorter one? Really?
    • So why did Agent 33 leave the Mae disguise on after they zapped her with it? Why wouldn't she take it off and just wander around as herself?
    • Why would you say some ridiculous number like 13?? Say 4, slightly more reasonable.
    • I'm sorry but seeing your parent when you were born because they delivered you does not count as meeting your parent. You don't start retaining memories until like 4 or 5.
    • How could they see the ship with the camouflage panels on? How did they figure out how to ping her tracker?
    • Is the city just a giant version of that item the people can't touch?
  • What They Become
    • He keeps mentioning this so called promise but here's the thing, Skye never asked him to do this so that promise was something he said and made to himself. She may want to meet her dad but she should be able to do it under her own terms not somebody else's.
    • HER MOTHER WAS THE ONE THAT GOT RIPPED APART ON THE TABLE!
    • Why is he just touching her like that? Sir, you have not known me my entire life, you do not get to touch me and pretend we are family.
    • Of course you have heard it before, it's a very common nursery rhyme song! It has no significance.
    • Her mother didn't age? You know the chinese have very good skin care routines that make them appear as though they don't age, maybe you are mistaken...
    • Is he really going to be mad that somebody else took him out before he could? Like jeez, the guy is dead, isn't that the important part?
    • Y'know, for somebody who hasn't been around the past 2 decades and didn't make much of any attempt to find her, he seems to care an aweful lot about making an everlasting impression of being her only "father". Like sir, providing your jeans makes you biologically related but you haven't been there for anything so you do not get to call yourself that.
    • DAISY?? HER NAME IS DAISY?!? Skye is so much better.
    • Makes me think of Kryptonite.
    • Why did they turn to ash? Is it because they touched it?
    • Oops, he was impaled by it when he kicked it.
    • Ooo, they were just temporarily covered like a cacoon, will he survive too?
    • Nope, he died trying to save her. Thats so sad. If he would've left it be they all may have survived... unless she only got uncovered because he broke it.
    • How do they still have the obelisk? WHY DOESN'T HE HAVE EYES?!?
  • Aftershocks
    • Who is this young boy with no eyes? Is he like the older man we saw with no eyes? And who is this woman? He said she ages much slower than the others, is it a flashback to her mother?
    • Are they really forcing her to be stuck in a cage because of being exposed to that thing?
    • In this region of the weorld? What is that suppose to mean?
    • Uhoh. Somebody we thought was dead isn't dead.
    • And now they are going to be scared of Skye turning into something like Reyna.
    • Wait, what happened with Skye just now?
    • Also, are we not gonna touch on the fact that her dad called her Daisy? I would love to know her thoughts on it.
    • Did they just manage to take out Mae? WHY DID HE JUST SHOUT OUT THEY WILL NEVER TAKE THEM ALIVE?!?
    • Are you serious? It was all just a ploy?
    • It's horrific? What if it's just how evolution works?
    • What changed her mindset on these powers? She never use to be like this. Maybe she shouldn't work on this anymore.
    • What is she going to do if Skye does have those extra micromarkers?
    • She changed? She doesn't look like she changed...
    • I hate that he keeps calling her Daisy.
    • ARE THEY ALL GOING TO TURN ON SKYE NOW?!?
    • How are they turning them all into ash like that?
    • Wait. What is going on with Fitz? He just did a 180 on his demeanor? 
    • Ooo, they came in and took Porcupine Lady away. Wonder how they knew of her and where she would be to save her from her own demise.
  • Who You Really Are
    • Uh excuse me but no, cracker is most definitely NOT an American word for cookie. Cookie is an American word for cookie.
    • THAT IS WHY SHE LOOKS FAMILIAR! Why can't she remember who she is?
    • Powering helmets?
    • Who is this blue guy and how does he know somebody on the planet changed? Does he know it's more than one person?
    • She got her memories back! Yay!!
    • So, the deviners have been around for a while and y'all only chose now to intervene?
    • Why does she seem to like the idea of altered DNA when it isn't physically in a person but when it is in them she hates it?
    • I do not like that the Aliens also want to kill these people with altered DNA.
    • Poor Skye. If they would stop scaring her she would be fine.
    • Good job guys. She loved y'all and trusted y'all and wanted to do better for you and that is why she hurt herself but now none of you want to show her support except Fitz. Screw you all!
  • One of Us
    • So her power is Earthquakes? Glad she is starting to control it. Still think the fitbit is funny.
    • I am glad he wants to be on her side.
    • This rag tag group of people with powers is so weird. And what even is their end goal? I doubt it is whatever the Asgardians are worried about but it still can't be good.
    • She fully flipped when she found out he was married to Mae lol.
    • Why did they only take one of the guys? Why not both?
    • Is he really about to be mentally evaluating his ex?
    • Aww, the nightmare is triggering her powers.
    • I wonder if the earthquakes due to fears is based on the fact that the dad has anger management issues... I wish she had gotten her mom's powers instead and just lived forever.
    • Are they dead or just sleeping? That is a crazy power to have either way.
    • Dude please stop calling her Daisy!
    • How did hitting that one guy trigger her and her powers?
    • Why is she all bruised now?
    • Mae's actual name being Melinda feels off.
    • The real S.H.I.E.L.D.? What does that mean?? Is Fury running two S.H.I.E.L.D.s?
  • Love in the Time of Hydra
    • Why does she continue to wear Mae's face?? I don't understand her infatuation with her.
    • I don't remember her looking bad before the mask, why is she so upset about her appearance?
    • BOBBI IS A DOUBLE AGENT FOR BOTH SHIELDS?!? I hate this.
    • Doesn't she realize that he wanted Mae at some point too? But also she only mimicked the face not the voice.
    • Did he really assume she couldn't pretend to be a guy?
    • His poor wife, he should've just told her over the phone when she was in the car.
    • I agree with Fitz, I'm more concerned about the fact that Simmons has had such a drastic change in persona than Skye changing or the other guy dying.
    • So does this fake S.H.I.E.L.D. organization want to KO all aliens? Is that why they want to take out Skye? What do they think of the Avengers?
  • One Door Closes
    • So was Bobbie his version of Mae for Colson?
    • Fury left them orders? Did he give orders to both groups? That is messed up.
    • I do not trust Gemma. It feels like she is trying to turn Skye back human instead of helping her be a better version of herself.
    • Is Bobbi cutting a hole in his desk?
    • I mean he is not technically lying since both organizations call themselves S.H.I.E.L.D.
    • And this is why we shouldn't just use glass windows for all of our walls!
    • Why is Skye so concerned about the wall behind the wall of the safe house? Wasn't Colson open and honest about the fact that the Avengers had used it at one point?
    • How did this Gordon guy with no eyes find her?
    • Was he put through the mist at a young age or was there like an age they had to reach before they could go through the transformation?
    • OOO is Bobbi going to steal Gemma? If Gemma goes and willingly works for this other S.H.I.E.L.D. and tells them where Skye is I am going to be highly upset.
    • I will say, atleast this No Eye Gordon guy is being nice about how he approaches Skye with this information, even if he may be evil. It is what her father should've done instead of being aggressive and yelling at her and forcing her to do stuff.
    • YAY GEMMA! SO PROUD OF YOU!!
    • Fitz, I have confidence in you. Do not let him trick you.
    • Aww, at least he protected Fitz from the wall. Even if he is still a traitor.
    • I really do not understand this second S.H.I.E.L.D. and why they do not like Colson or his methods. I feel like he takes after Fury the most out of all of them.
    • What are they going to think when they find out that Fury was more like Colson than he was like these other normal people? I mean, Fury is single-handedly the one who kept the Avengers' initiative active even after the S.H.I.E.L.D. board told him to disband it.
    • I do not trust them to only use icers on her.
    • I'm sorry, but if we are turning this into a democracy, then shouldn't there be an actual vote by the people in the room? It seemed like most people did not want to fight.
    • Oof. I thought she was just going to deflect the bullet, not push a whole thing forward that took down all the trees and knocked those two out.
    • How come she didn't just call for Gordon earlier?
  • Afterlife
    • I wonder if he left the 2k there as compensation.
    • Accupuncture?
    • You couldn't give her more of an explanation before wandering off?
    • I appreciate that even though Bobbie is a traitor she still wants to protect Skye, even if it is backwards how she wants to help her.
    • At least this transitioner is being open about what this place is, just wish he knew a little more about it and how it worked.
    • How did they figure out that Colson was in the safe house? ... Oh he purposefully triggered the alarm.
    • There's a board of elders?
    • Y'know. At least this eyeless Gordon guy calls her by her chosen name of Skye, unlike her butt face father, who still insists on calling her Daisy.
    • Why did Simmons decide to stay? I don't understand her.
    • Ooo, is he on our side?
    • HE IS! YAY!
    • Gotta love that her power stopped as soon as she entered into Raina's quarters.
    • Just because your personality is not like hers does not mean that you do not have something in common with her.
    • ITS HER MOM?!? THAT IS HER MOM? AND WHY IN THE WORLD ARE YOU CALLING HER DAISY WHEN HER CHOSEN NAME IS SKYE.
    • HE SWAPPED IT OUT FOR THE REAL ONE! Good. I hate the idea of y'all being traitors.
  • Melinda
    • Aww, Mae wanted a family of her own. It's sad she didn't get it.
    • Excuse me but that is very rude to tell him he could leave and do whatever he wants after debriefing and then tail him for more information.
    • "You can't hurt the mountain." As she causes an avalanche and buries so much wildlife that was just chilling there.
    • Is Skye going to realize that it is her mother? She hasn't been told yet has she? If she was I may have just missed it.
    • Yeah, I don't understand how they went in all calm and focused and in control and literally 5 seconds after making contact they are all gone. But also, he didn't even give them time to make contact themselves before he started spamming the radio with his communications.
    • I both loved and hated having her make music with the water glasses.
    • Of course he was building a new base to train those with powers, he was part of the Avengers initiative and that is literally what they need is trained people with powers to fight alien forces.
    • I had a feeling that the little girl was part of what was going on but that is very messed up and explains perfectly why Mae left with a piece of herself missing.
    • So Porcupine Girl can see the future?
  • The Frenemy of My Enemy
    • It's sweet that she is coming around to her bio dad being in her life and is trying to keep him sane and keep the world safe. I am glad they let her go with him to ease him into the transition.
    • Aww, she's only playing along to get him taken into custody?? That makes me sad for some reason. Not as sad as the fact that she doesn't know S.H.I.E.L.D. is broken up.
    • She just called herself Daisy. Please no.
    • Colson really likes his movie lines.
  • The Dirty Half Dozen
    • I'm surprised that Colson went so willingly to talk with the other fake S.H.I.E.L.D.
    • The Sonic reference was savage.
    • What did they do to his eye? Take it out because it's robotic?
    • Skye is like legit an agent now. She goes in ready to attack and moves so nimbly.
    • She can do CPR without doing actual CPR? Is that what just happened?
    • And we are all disappointed in you Ward.
    • HERE COME THE AVENGERS!
  • Scars
    • Wait, is the Theta protocol scene and the handing over the lanyard scene from the same time period or from before and after the Ultron movie?
    • SHE LITERALLY JUST SAVED YOUR LIFE YOU UNGRATEFUL TWAT.
    • I can't tell if the Porcupine Lady is telling the truth or lying to them.
    • I thought we were looking for a stone? Why are we on the S.H.I.E.L.D. ship?
    • And here is where we get the name INHUMANS for the TV show.
    • Why do they need to be indexed? But also, why can't they be indexed? So what if the world knows they exist? Why can't they all just live in harmony?
    • How does the crystal come from the diviner?
    • Why is she trying to KO them? They were being friendly and civil thus far.
    • She is literally crazy.
    • I wonder if this is why Porcupine Lady said not to have the leader lady talking to the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
  • S.O.S. Part One
    • It's really a shame that Skye is torn between the two parts of her life.
    • Oh that's cool, she can disassemble the gun with her vibration power.
    • Somehow, I doubt that the Inhumans are going to follow Skye as their leader; they think she is against them.
    • Do you mean to tell me that the only reason she can live forever is that she takes the lives of others? That is messed up.
    • So wait, was it the real Mae or the Agent 33 Mae that was on the Inhuman compound and was taken out by Skye?
    • Aww, just when I was starting to come around to Porcupine Lady. At least Skye saw it and knows the truth.
    • Can you actually break somebody's leg that easily?
  • S.O.S. Part Two
    • Skye's dad basically pulled a Colson but for evil.
    • Nice to see Skye needed for her original powers instead of her new superpowers.
    • Oops, Ward just shot his own girl.
    • I don't think the transporter guy is on the right side. Skye's mom obviously wasn't.
    • How do you stop him from transporting? Do we have magic like the time I was reincarnated as a slime?
    • So honestly, the bad Inhumans are just as bad as they claim the Kree to be because they really seem to want to take over the Earth and replace all Humans with Inhumans.
    • So now the electrical guy is on our side? It is so hard to keep track of the sides when there are like 3 or 4 of them.
    • I'm surprised she was able to conjure up that much strength when so close to death.
    • Poor Colson. DID HE JUST CHOP OFF HIS ARM?!? But what if Colson would've turned because of the Kree blood that saved him?
    • That was sweet of the dad to take out the mom so that Skye wasn't scared.
    • What caused her scars to recolor like that?
    • We still have to worry about Ward and Hydra?!? Why? Just why?
    • Aww, his memory got wiped! Just when she was starting to come around to having him in her life.
    • I wonder if Stark will make Colson a fake hand... They would have to tell him that he didn't actually die.
    • Uhoh. Are the crystals in the fish and now they are in the fish pills? I guess we didn't really think that through...
    • SIMMONS!!! WHY DID THE STONE EAT HER?!?

Marvel Reviews w/ Rambo - Agent Carter Season 1 (2015)

 

I think they did a phenomenal job capturing the time frame of this series. Is it annoying how misogynistic/sexist the period was? Yes. But that does not mean it is not fitting nonetheless. And Peggy Carter is, as always, a perfect example of if you are meant to succeed in life, you will do so. And she holds no judgment against someone's life unless they truly deserve to be judged in such a manner. She stays true to who she is and what she stands for in every episode.

!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!

  • Now is Not the End
    • I appreciate that even though we have seen the movie and gotten glimpses into S.H.I.E.L.D. that they still show us how her story got a start.
    • The phone company? That is the cover we are using? Can't even say secretary at a military recruitment place?
    • The red hat makes me think of Carmen Sandiego.
    • Is this before she gets recruited by Stark like in the One-Shot about her?
    • Yeah, Stark, creepy is not the way to go. Leave some sign that it is you.
    • He's gonna go over seas in that little personal boat?
    • Is she just saying Stark is scared of water to throw them off his trail?
    • Why do men always get the ick when you mention having lady stuff going on? 
    • Where did she get the blonde wig so quickly? And what did she use to knock the guy out?
    • Ooo a watch that cracks safe, where do I get me one of those?
    • "You understand that this job will require certain after-hours assistance, correct?" "So does my wife" lol
    • Now she's a chemist disarming an explosive?
    • Poor Colleen. She didn't deserve that.
    • How did her hair not catch fire, but his hand burned?
    • So where is she going to stay now?
    • Is that the same hand she burnt, or did she do the other hand?
    • That's kind of cool, it's like sending a text message but with a typewriter.
    • I think Mr. Stark will understand.
    • I didn't think it was going to suck everything into it...
  • Bridge and Tunnel
    • Agent Carter, the original girls girl.
    • Would a health inspector really be wearing a lab coat?
    • Oh yeah, that position at the desk is very lady like.
    • Oh god, why does the radio make her out to be such a damsel?
    • It seems Carter is only ever just one step ahead of her team and one step behind the bad guy, she needs to pick up the pace.
    • How many of these black-hole-creating devices do we have?
    • I wonder if heels can be identified just as sneakers can be from the treads.
    • How in the world can an apartment implement a curfew?
    • How are they sorting the debris?
  • Time and Tide
    • She kind of looked like the Black Widow actress for a quick second with her hair pinned up in curls like that.
    • I wonder how she learned of the male visitor. I am also curious why it was necessary for Carter to stay for that whole debacle.
    • Oopsies, I wonder if it will lead them back to the butler guy and if he will end up arrested. His poor wife.
    • Oh, smart. Reported the entire car as stolen after they got rid of it.
    • She is so smart, coming back with paperwork to snag the stolen car report.
    • Honestly, she is far better giving up the shield for the crutch than giving it up for you, jerk.
    • Why doesn't the butler have his own self-defense weapon?
    • Why does Stark even have these inventions?
    • That was an interesting New York accent.
    • I thought she would've left when he went to make the phone call.
    • Why in the world does their siren sound like that? It's like the incoming storm alarm they play in movies.
    • Aw man, that SSR agent wasn't the nicest, but he didn't deserve to be taken out like that.
    • Dude having a wife and girlfriend may just be reason for me not to be sad he got taken out.
  • The Blitzkrieg Button
    • I wonder who actually took out the agent and the witness. Because it was not Peggy.
    • Ooo, is she going to sneak him into her room? She is going to lose her place to live.
    • How in the world did they get the film that small and how would you be able to view it?
    • The greatest city on the planet? That feels like a stretch.
    • Offering a visitor water out of a nasty toilet is diabolical.
    • I thought he said he would help him escape, death is technically an escape but it is not the escape I thought he meant.
    • Wow, Carter did not trust Stark or Jarvis, crazy.
    • Why in the world does he have Steve Rogers' blood?
    • Does anyone deserve to have his blood though? Like. shouldn't you have the original formula that was injected into him? Why do you need his blood?
    • Who the heck is this woman that just took out the assassin?
    • How in the world is she going to fix that hole in the wall? Oh, a painting. Fair enough.
  • The Iron Ceiling
    • I'm sorry, we are teaching the little girls to be like Snow White but also like Elektra?
    • Why in the world did Dottie just take Carter's room key?
    • Did she actually read that in the note or did she make it up to get in the case?
    • Oof, her shoulder scars gave her away.
    • It's crazy how much nicer the guys they met up with treat her then the guys she works with from day to day.
    • It's crazy to think that both generations of Starks were involved in the government's military strategies and both generations decided they wanted out of that.
    • Yeah, I would not have trusted one lonely child left in a building like that.
    • I thought deadbolts could only be locked and unlocked from the door closed position...
    • And here he was thinking she was going to be the one holding them back.
    • So crazy neighbor girl is from that school that they just invaded. Got it.
    • He's trying to decide if he should turn her in or not...
  • A Sin to Err
    • I am surprised that Agent Carter spoke out as much as she did; normally, she bites her tongue here.
    • Secretary school?
    • Whoever this doctor is that she just walked into the office for is giving creeper vibes. What do you mean you sent everyone home so you can spend one-on-one time with the young, female applicants. CREEPY.
    • What is Jarvis' wife going to say when he goes home all bruised up?
    • Wasn't the neighbor lady planted before they went to Russia? How did they know they would need her there?
    • SHE IS USING MORSE CODE WITH HIM?!? 
    • THAT TRAITOR!
    • Oh no, he told on Carter, didn't he?
    • And yet another thing that makes guys feel awkward, crying. Why?
    • And what in the world gave it away that she doesn't actually work for the phone company?
    • So the doctor is a hypnosis guy too?
    • For her own safety?!? MAYBE YOU SHOULD BE MORE CAUTIOUS OF HER!
    • Oh, so now you're going to take her combative skills seriously?
  • SNAFU
    • Is that the same doctor they have in their custody?
    • She looks an awful lot like Peggy...
    • Why in the world does that Russian Spy need a baby carriage?
    • I love that she says it is quite unpleasant, as if she has done it herself.
    • There had to have been a better way of sending people across the street and getting him away from the window without notifying him of what was going on.
    • And now that Russian scientist has access to all of Stark's inventions.
    • What was the vest?
    • Why wouldn't you instantly take that shot?
    • Why is he still investigating the building?
    • What is the purpose of putting gas in a movie theater?
    • Oh, the gas evokes anger in them.
  • Valediction
    • He really should wear whatever protection they tell him to.
    • Told ya, they can't protect him from everything after all.
    • He really is such a playboy...
    • Is he still trying to guess her name??
    • So what happens when he flies into a building because he doesn't see one in his fake vision?
    • So much for not letting him talk.
    • That is incredible that she managed to knock him out of the illusion.
    • I thought Dottie died when she was pushed out the window onto the plane wing?
    • That is so sweet of him to sneak her the vial.
    • WHY IS SHE POURING IT INTO THE RIVER?!?
    • So if they forced his mouth to remain shut so that he can not hypnotize anyone, how is he supposed to eat?
    • THAT'S THE SCIENTIST WHO ENDS UP ON THE COMPUTERS IN THE CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER MOVIE!

Marvel Reviews w/ Rambo - Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1 (2014)

I really despise movies and shows that mess with my feelings. I have a hard time discerning when things are serious nd when things are fake. I would not be a good agent, at least not in my current state. As a whole, some of the episodes are lackluster and filler-based but there are also a handful of action-packed episodes. The best part of the filler episodes is that you get to see all the different types of agents and how they interact with one another in the field based on their specialty. 
I also like how the movie timeline gets brought into the series timeline, even if it is not always when we would presume it to be. I do wish the movie superheroes would be incorporated more, though, rather than just the sub-heroes.

!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!! 

  • Pilot
    • Is that the Black Widow doing the intro or is it someone else?
    • That dad is an unnecessary everyday hero, he's running to help those people he may not know ... oh, he has powers, never mind
    • Does the boy know his dad has powers? Does he wish his dad were part of the Avengers, and that's why he doesn't want any of the heroes in the window?
    • Okay, but like the prints would not just roll that cleanly off the glass like that in real life.
    • I'm sorry, but this is how we find out Agent Colson isn't dead? Does he come back to the movies at all?
    • They aren't level 7? I don't think they even have a level. They are just voluntold personnel lol
    • Excuse me, but isn't Colson old enough to be her dad? Why does it seem like he is flirting with her?
    • Why is she against S.H.I.E.L.D.? Shouldn't she be against the people who were holding the Avengers initiative back?
    • Their plane is like a house, and yet it seems pretty normal-sized. I am confused.
    • Oh, also, it is not the Black Widow doing the commentary, it's a girl in her van... and she has just been found. Wonder if she will become part of the team now, too.
    • Doesn't the fact that they don't know about this so-called cover-up titled "centipede" mean that they are not the bad guys she thinks they are? Also, how did she get involved with that group anyway?
    • This hero is very quickly turning into a villain...
    • Encrypted to the GPS location? How does that work?
    • Aren't Bonnie and Clyde a couple? Why is he hitting on the new person?
    • So we are using the same explosion stuff from Iron Man 3 in this first episode, interesting.
    • Can't they call up Stark and ask what the solution was for his girlfriend?
    • Home boy got thrown like 20 feet into the air xD
    • I can't tell whether he cares to save the girl's life or not.
    • Did we really have to go for a headshot? What if it ended up being fatal while also curing him?
    • ...And why don't we have hover cars yet?
  • 0-8-4
    • Gonna be blue skies from here on out and then a giant hole forms in the side of your plane... I don't think that's blue skies my dude.
    • These scientists are really too enthusiastic to be out in the field. I get it, I get the same way when I get called out to new scenes I haven't experienced yet, but I think they're in a slightly different boat with superhero stuff.
    • Oddly convenient that they didn't show up until after the archaeologist was out of the site.
    • What is with this guy? Why is he so against having people who can do stuff better than him?
    • Okay, for somebody who is supposed to be about risk assessments and stuff, why is he pulling an unknown object out of the wall?
    • Oh, so now that you know it's worse than going nuclear, now you care about it affecting you.
    • This group needs to figure out how to put aside their different experiences and backgrounds and just work together. They all have different specialties.
    • Did anyone stop to think if the Peruvian military actually had the same intent as us? That they weren't trying to use S.H.I.E.L.D. to get the object transported somewhere else?
    • Midlife crisis, sounds about right.
    • We are firing up the German tech and using it to make a hole in our own plane? That's crazy.
    • Shouldn't the drop in cabin pressure mean the doors lock so that they don't leak out more pressure? It seems backwards to me that they opened instead.
    • How in the world is a blow-up raft staying put in the gaping hole and equalizing the pressure in the plane?
    • What are you signing up for? Ma'am, you just lived through some of it. How are you still confused?
    • Wait, they are sending the weapon to the sun?
    • AND she is still working for the other team. Wow. Who is she gonna actually cross?
    • Does he really think that he could control the plane incident? They were hijacked!
  • The Asset
    • What the heck caused that car to get thrown sky high like that so suddenly?
    • How is the trailer still upright after a stunt like that?
    • Am I supposed to know who this guy is?
    • There was definitely something we missed between episodes with the new girl becoming an agent in training...
    • Did you really want to reveal to her that you all lied about the truth serum? I wouldn't want to work with y'all anymore after that.
    • "Something big," he says as he holds a teeny tiny gyrosphere.
    • Why does Coltor wear a black tux but the other young buck can wear jeans and a t-shirt?
    • Hey! That's the husband from Ghost Whisperer!
    • Is he really a prisoner, though, if he is willingly helping conduct an experiment that he has wanted to do for decades?
    • Isn't the fact that she doesn't have training make her perfect for the task, because they have absolutely no reason to suspect her?
    • What if this experiment with gravitanium alters all of Earth's gravity?
    • -.- Why is she telling him that S.H.I.E.L.D. is listening?
    • Hmm, she is telling him everything but still helping S.H.I.E.L.D.
    • Ma'am, you're gonna have to get up the courage to pew pew if you're going to be an agent.
    • Is locking the gravitanium in the vault just protecting it from somebody getting ahold of it or does it stop the gravity effects?
  • Eye-Spy
    • Do the folks just think the red masks are like a publicity stunt or something? Because I would be calling the non-emergency line to see if something has a permit to be happening or if the police should be on the lookout for suspicious activity.
    • AND their hands are handcuffed to the briefcases? That's a bit much and super sus.
    • How is it that the masked people are the ones dead, though? How did she know which briefcase to take?
    • What is his desire to help everyone? Literally everyone.
    • It's interesting how much you can learn about somebody based on their dialect and how they talk.
    • Yeah, they really didn't think this through with him replacing a female.
    • That's crazy that you had the guard check in every so often by having them enter a password in order to track that no unwanted people have entered.
    • Ooo, the handler had a kill switch in him too. Interesting.
    • I am very confused how she was going to use the glasses to see the cards and him naked from a completely different room.
  • Girl in the Flower Dress
    • They looked at each other as if they knew each other and yet they acted as if they didn't.
    • Why is she taking him? Is it like how the S.H.I.E.L.D. people wanted to take the strong guy in episode 1?
    • How is playing Battleship strategic?
    • I am still so incredibly lost on which side she is on. It's like every episode she flips back again.
    • OOOOOO. She got caught.
    • Why wouldn't S.H.I.E.L.D. let him use his powers? Would he not join them?
    • I mean, yeah, a million dollars is not a bad offer for information.
    • Is this the scientist lady from the first episode? The one who worked on Project Centipede?
    • Ooo, she had to put on one of those special bracelets that controls her too.
    • So how many extra bad guys are in on this thing? Trying to make their own version of heroes/villains.
  • FZZT
    • How does lightning cause the battery to jump out of the vehicle?
    • What was holding his body up like that?
    • Aww, these poor guys just wanted a cool souvenir and ended up infecting themselves.
    • Bonnie and Clyde are so cute, flirty but innocent.
    • Skydiving to your death can't be a good feeling.
    • Yeah, sure, they will take his dream team away just like they took the Avengers away.
  • The Hub
    • Where are the dogs? Boy, have you ever seen dogs on board that ship?
    • How the heck did he get that big thing into his naval cavity?
    • So, I have always matched the different security levels of S.H.I.E.L.D. with those of the current US military. However, here's the thing: in our current situation, the higher levels can know about the lower levels. In S.H.I.E.L.D., it comes off more like each level only gets to know about its own. Is that accurate?
    • Why are there so many extra hands wandering around their ship?
    • Wouldn't it be funny if he actually has been a robot version of himself this entire time and she just doesn't know it?
    • WHY DID HE THROW THE SANDWICH AWAY?!?
    • Fitz is more of a bad booty agent then they make him out to be.
    • Wow, she has some skill to position the plane just right to burn all the bad guys with the exhausts.
    • So if he thinks he is level 8, why doesn't he come up in the system as level 8?
  • The Well
    • What random items is he picking up from each pile?
    • First, why are we cutting down a tree in a national park? Second, what are those guys using to wipe away that spray paint on the sign?
    • Why in the world would he think that the instructions would give actual coordinates?
    • Wow, that professor really said he wanted to get to the staff first.
    • Did he really think they weren't going to see it sticking out of his bag like that?
    • How did Timmy fall down the well to begin with?
    • How the heck did that man do that? Oh, he's Asgardian.... wow... wonder if he is the original guy.
    • More observant than most? Sir, it's pretty easy things to pick up on. It's not like it was just picking up on you leaving behind certain things.
    • Why didn't she have any bad memories come to mind when she started messing with the God spear?
  • Repairs
    • But how do we know it was her who is doing these things? She didn't show any signs of wanting to do these things, let alone actually doing them.
    • How do you expect her to actually know what is going on? Let's be real.
    • Is it maybe Ford haunting her and making everything else happen because she didn't listen to him about the safety concerns?
    • So if the power is down and they are going to be crashing, how come they are still flying and not panicking more?
    • Oh, they did crash already? There wasn't much of a crash...
    • How did Mae hear him move closer?
    • I'm sorry, did you just imply that the guy caused the accident and is blaming her anyway?
    • Aww, Mae got a little piece of herself back! I call that a win.
  • The Bridge
    • I love the guy just chilling and casually eating his food instead of reacting.
    • Oh, that's the guy they went to break out, got it, that would be why he was not reacting.
    • I thought he couldn't gain access to her files?
    • Oh, she has been pulling names herself, no files for help.
    • Somebody with superpowers...
    • Wait, is he the original caterpillar guy?
    • Is he a different actor from the original episode?
    • Did anyone notice how much he turns the wheel and the car DOESN'T move?
    • What if Mae is the one who turned her over to the agency?
    • Doesn't our guy with S.H.I.E.L.D. who has the caterpillar have only the one on his arm? These new soldiers have them on both arms plus in their shoulders.
    • So something has changed in their new soldiers that the same shot that took out the original guy does nothing to the new one.
    • They have also become stronger, and have different kill switches in them.
    • How did she figure out where his son was being kept? And why was there no security on his son?
    • So wait we are gonna take out all of those people? For what reason? Why did we want to take out Colson that badly?
    • ...But he doesn't know about the day after he died? Is this where we find out he is a robot?
  • The Magical Place
    • Mae, you'd better have something planned.
    • He really went to Tahiti, huh? Crazy.
    • Did they really not frisk him and look for things before tying him up?
    • How come the chair can fall over but it doesn't get sucked up and out like he is?
    • Not her impersonating Mae to ask the guy questions xD.
    • Why is she the only one who doesn't believe getting Colson back is important?
    • Looks like Skye was right and S.H.I.E.L.D. was wrong.
    • Aww, poor Colson. Why did they need him to survive so badly that they operated on him like that? But also, he was stabbed through the heart, what does operating on his brain do to save him?
    • HE DIDN'T DIE! He isn't fully himself anymore, but at least he didn't die! He can still see his son one day ... maybe.
  • Seeds
    • S.H.I.E.L.D. trainees? What happened? I assume they were on the agency's property...
    • Do they need to get permission for these little extra excursions or do they just do whatever they want?
    • How quickly were they planning on graduating him?
    • I love how he just knew that it was about the baby girl.
    • So does she secretly have powers or what?
    • Ooo, he has ice powers now.
  • T.R.A.C.K.S.
    • Why the heck are there civilians on this train that is meant to be transporting secret military stuff?
    • Shouldn't they have discussed before hand they they were going to fill in Colson?
    • Shouldn't she be in tears over her mother's ashes spilling?
    • First of all, why would you need to jump for a grenade rather than fight the people?
    • Secondly, how does a grenade make the train vanish like that?
    • They were rendered immobile when she jumped off the train? How does that happen?
    • If they stabbed her with a knife why is it a long cut?
    • I'm gonna be honest, I am really annoyed by listening to that stupid announcement over and over; I do understand it's there to establish when we are in the timeline though.
    • So when is she going to become a full-fledged agent?
    • So the package was their guy?
    • DAANNNGGGG. HE SHOT HER! NOT ONCE BUT TWICE!
    • No more Skye :(
    • She's like Sleeping Beauty in a way.
    • She looks like a zombie from The Walking Dead.
  • T.A.H.I.T.I.
    • He had the same thought I did, use the doctors who revived him even though it was impossible.
    • Why does their cockpit seem smaller than normal?
    • Honestly, just let them have him, the only reason they didn't turn him over is because they are trying to save Skye.
    • They really make the moving screen thing so much easier then the other two guys do.
    • Look at them being all smart and stuff!
    • Why didn't they just try a random counter sign to see if it would work?
    • Is GH something gamma related?
    • GH is the initials of the person .... but which person?
    • Didn't somebody at some point mention a redhead coming and stealing somebody away?
  • Yes Man
    • Is the red head thing current time or past events?
    • I'm glad she recognized the logo.
    • He was doing so well until he wasn't... I kind of hope he is faking and takes her to a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility.
    • I'm confused, the necklace doesn't show any obvious signs of damage...
    • Did she really think she wouldn't affect Asgard on Earth? It's Thor's second home now.
    • How does that necklace cage stop her from speaking?
    • Does he really think that the two of them can go after whoever is in charge?
    • Uhoh, somebody was listening to them.
  • End of the Beginning
    • SHE'S FINALLY GOING TO BECOME A FULL-FLEDGED AGENT!!!!
    • It's so sad how much he has changed for the worse.
    • Was killing him really necessary? Sure, he was giving empty threats, but at least he was talking.
    • Mae is the bad guy? I did not see that twist coming.
    • OH! IT WASN'T MAE! IT'S THE GIRL WITH RED DYE HIGHLIGHTS!
    • Explains why she was confused about why Colson was so important.
  • Turn, Turn, Turn
    • You mean to tell me they aren't even targeting the correct ship?
    • I was not expecting Colson to shoot Mae.
    • So is this episode happening simultaneously with the Winter Soldier movie?
    • I don't understand, is she or isn't she part of the bad guys?
  • Providence
    • So wait, did I miss the end of the last episode? Did we determine that all of the people so far are the good guys?
    • DID OUR GUY FROM THE TEAM SWITCH SIDES TO HYDRA?!?
    • Why are we against this guy joining us? He was lied to too.
    • Do they really not have contingency plans for these types of things?
    • Do we know that we shouldn't be trusting this guy???
    •  HOW DID THEY GET ALL THE DRUGS OUT?!?
    •  I thought we knew that he was alive?
    • They really just be letting everyone know everything.
    • I guess he really didn't know everything huh?
    • I would've thought that phone service was blocked in this secret bunker.
    • I really hate him. I hope he is just secretly two-timing the two-timing.
    • That's what was hidden in the sub-basement? The gravitonium?
  • The Only Light In The Darkness
    • How come he killed the car battery just by gesturing but he physically had to touch the person?
    • We are watching everyone's lie detector test, except for the guy who is probably going to fail...
    • HE SHOULD'VE TAKEN HIM OUT RIGHT THEN AND THERE!
    • So is she figuring out that he is a bad guy? Can she take him out with her emotions intertwined?
    • How is she going to get herself out of this mess?
    • Why is the PA state license plate in Canada?
  • Nothing Personal
    • How did he wipe all the camera feeds after they left?
    • OOO! She left behind a note! Yay! Smart Skye!
    • Shouldn't he know about this coordinate? Wasn't he part of it when she was brought in?
    • How did the secret service find out about them?
    • You're suppose to be there to help! Why are you threatening to arrest them?!?
    • I wonder if that was even the right geolocation for the encryption.
    • How did he get on??
    • That was a little close for comfort.
    • Wow. Colson detested his own life saving procedure. Crazy.
  • Ragtag
    • You're telling me that the only reason hottie was part of S.H.I.E.L.D. was because of Hydra?!?
    • 25 years?!? How has he been doing this that long?
    • I beg to differ, I do think some people may actually be born evil.
    • Wow. That's some tough love from Hydra, leaving him out in the woods to survive for some months.
    • How do they just know where all the S.H.I.E.L.D. bases are off the top of their head?
    • How'd he get a pew pew?
    • What are those two even doing so far away from the others?
    • Look at him being smart carrying the EMP around with him, atleast they had something.
    • Are you telling me that he was training Ward for YEARS in the middle of the woods?
    • Y'know, how did nobody at S.H.I.E.L.D. realize he has a metal torso?
    • Where exactly do those two think they are going to hide on that ship?
    • Well, hopefully that container they ar in can float.
    • Y'know, it took those centipede operatives a while to get there to take them out.
  • Beginning of the End
    • What is this so called incentives program? A guarantee that they will become stronger and can take out their bullies?
    • Well, guess the container doesn't float... how much air do you think they have?
    • Only 90 feet down? That doesn't seem that bad.
    • How deep do you need to be in order to worry about the cramping and collapsing of your lungs when going up towards the surface of the water? Also can they even make it up that 90 feet?
    • Did he just rip out a rib?
    • Aww, she pulled him up with her. Now they just need a rescue.
    • Ooo, Fury is finally making an appearance.
    • So is the next season going to be about restoring S.H.I.E.L.D. to it's former glory?
    • Are you serious? They didn't even ensure that the guy was dead? They just left his body there?
    • So now everyone will know Colson is alive? Or is it going to be a secret organization that nobody knows the head of?
    • ...Are they twins or did they make clones?
    • Who the heck is this bloodied hand grabbing a photo of Skye, claiming she is their daughter?
    • Uhoh, Colson is seeing symbols again, he is going crazy isn't he?
