    Since Lincoln can levitate people with his powers, I wonder if they'll ever have him levitate a trashcan lid, stand on it, and use it to fly.

    Now that
    Hydra is getting close to discovering who the Inhumans are and starting to kidnap them, I really hope that Hydra has greatly underestimated the Inhumans. And that once the Inhumans start taking the threat seriously and decides to take action, they'll send some really powerful Inhumans to just crush Hydra and take over all their resources.

    Eh...I dont think you need a lot of power to crush hydra at the moment...the problem is finding them.

    Given that (Age of Ultron spoilers)
    They apparently put up a fight against the Avengers, I imagine they're not in an easily crushable position at the moment.

    There could be mind reading Inhumans.

    So far, the Inhumans have been focused on keeping their secret so no one knows how powerful they are. But just a few Inhumans with Skye's level of power can cause a lot of damage.

    And we have finished season 1! A both wow and boo moment. Wow because, you know: wow! And boo because we can't binge watch any more episodes.

    My daughter just can't handle life with Ward as a douche (this is where I started to tell her that all teenage boys are Ward until my wife gave me the side eye) and so didn't watch the season finale with us.

    To get some MCU fix we turned to Daredevil (we had already watched the first episode) and you know the fight scenes are good when your wife says "they give me a stomach ache".

    Anyway, patiently awaiting season 2 to end so we can binge watch AoS and see what the thread title is all about, how Fitz is, what Deathlok gets up to, and and and GAH EVERYTHING!

    It will also be nice to swing through this threads spoilers at last.

    In season two, Fitz completes a magical transformation into one of the absolute best characters in the MCU.

    I really wish there was a better way for people to be able to catch up on season 2 before Ultron.

    Amazon's got the episodes for $3 each, which isn't bad, but still.

    Hulu very rarely has full seasons for current shows. It sucks.

    I haven't watched a commercial in a decade and never will again! It's a dead system like the dead system it's based on. Sooner that zombie falls down the better.

    As for the episode: If you ignore how totally stupid everyone was acting (monsters, people, monsters! Don't arm them! Let them run amok!) thumbs up. Simmons is now totally redeemed and May is heading into dumbshit territory, though she was probably right this time.

    Skye needs to level Afterlife if they don't un-kidnap her.

    Also I think you can do the season pass on Amazon for iirc $40 which gets you all episodes of season 2 to current and the rest of the season about 6-7 hours after they initially air

    I wouldn't mind them so much if they had more variety. A lot of times the commercial breaks are all identical, and that's super annoying.

    So.

    (latest episode)
    Coulson is lying through his teeth about putting Ward through the TAHITI process.

    He means to kill Ward or worse once the mission is done.

    I thought the memory machine was buried under a mountain.

    Coulson definitely has another one. He used it earlier this season to unlock his memories about TAHITI when they where after the crazy ex-SHIELD agent.

    I thought that was (TAHITI)
    a somewhat different machine, that was more to open up and unlock memories - not sure it had any kind of re-writing ability that was mentioned. The machine we saw working on Coulson during the TAHITI process had the physical spider-army bits zapping away, where as the one Garrett and Raina were using seemed more read-only.

    Can somebody give me a timeline in Bakshi's whereabouts? Every time he shows up, it's a complete surprise to me. I thought he was dead, he shows up. I swear he was in custody, he shows up. I would be the worst spy, I cannot keep track of this lone asshole.

    TAHITI
    I guess it might be different. Coulson could just be bluffing Ward though, or have built a new one though that seems unlikely.

    Coulson gave Bakshi to Talbot after they used him to kill a bunch of Hydra leaders. Ward and Agent 33 broke Bakshi out of prison so they could brainwash him.

    That was the machine Raina put him through. The TAHITI machine had multiple arms that sutured the exposed brain of the person.

    That machine was in the mountain, but I don't doubt they can try a different method.

    Ah, that's right, I forgot about the lawnmower episode. I'm usually attentive to details, I cannot for the life of me figure out why this single character is so hard for me to track.

    Because he's that good at fighting. And the best part is we've never really seen him cut loose. The closest we got was when he saved Skye (before she knew he was evil) but it cut away before it showed him killing five dudes with a knife when they had guns, and when he fought May in the S1 finale, which was never going to be a win for him.

    Plus, it's a remnant of back when the thread wanted more Supers in the show, so everyone was trying to figure out who the people in the cast could be.

    Also,
    he's now ex-SHIELD and the near future promises to have memory issues for him.

    I would hardly call it a dead system.

    Commercials may be annoying, but damn, if you think your 10 bucks a month to netflix is going to pay for completely removing TV stations, TV broadcasting, and cleaning the damn toilets next to the news room, your crazy.

    It's not commercials themselves that are the problem, its how they are presented.

    Oh, none of it is going to go away anytime soon, I agree. It's a walking zombie. It's dead to ME. I realize the entire system is going to haunt as for awhile yet, though, yes.

    I disagree with the commercials not being 'a' problem, though. They are totally just 30 seconds of wasted time even if I DO care about whatever it's shilling. Which is almost never.

    I also hate previews, though, too. :P

    My issue is that TV filmed without regard (or reverence) for commercial breaks just feels so much better and more fluid (GoT, Daredevil, OitNB, etc)

    The biggest thing I hate about the commercial breaks on Hulu is that sometimes they just randomly break.

    Like halfway through playing an ad, it will suddenly go 'Cannot load this message from our sponsors! Turn off ad block!' You were PLAYING THE GODDAMN AD HULU.

    And then for whatever reason, nearly everytime I reload, it then tells me 'You can only watch Hulu on one device at a time' and then it takes 5 minutes or so of waiting for me to be able to load again. Which makes me watch a new ad.

    Or enough people will eventually just cut cords to force the business model to finally die off.

    If I just want a fibre-op Internet connection (50 Mbps download, 5 Mbps upload), that would be $80 plus tax from my local ISP. If I want that Internet connection plus television, that would be $140 plus tax. Over the course of the year, that comes to over $700. That means that for the amount of television I watch, it's much cheaper to just use Netflix and then to buy TV shows off of iTunes or Google Play or Amazon for $1.99 to 2.99 an episode or so, or $30 to $40 for a season if I'm really confident that I'll watch the show all the way through. I watch maybe five or six hours of TV a week - it's much better for me to buy the shows, and to be able to download them whenever (or wherever, on whatever device) than it is to pay for cable.

    The change is slow, but it's happening, without the need for something drastic.

    People really want to see Taskmaster. Which I don't blame them for, because he's awesome. But I think we're going to need to get a little more crazy before a guy in a skull mask and white cloak is not out of place on AoS. :)
