The point is what happens in Infinity War have huge consequences for AOS , even larger than WS so i don't know how they are going to write around that lol....
Not necessarily. But it depends on how A4 pans out.

If years pass after IW and then things get rewritten in A4 things could literally reset back to how they were previously meaning there'd be little change. Or they could write those changes in for next season, if they get one.

I have a hard time believing that any Marvel show will go much into the events from IW. It's a total logistical nightmare considering the rumored premise of 4.

So they're trying to prevent the end of the world in the show, and they're probably gonna succeed in the end.

only for it to get fucked by someone else entirely

Lol

Easy solution to the Infinity War situation. When Shield went back in time, they went into a different timeline where Thanos never appeared. The Candyman was just talking about some creep exposing himself on New York trains when he was asking Daisy about NY. Bigger twist, that creep was Gary Busey.

I mean, sure, that would take away some of what the show had going on (being a part of the MCU), but dammit I want more of this show and I don't give a crap how they have to twist things to make it happen!

Really enjoy Marvel's Corridors of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Also makes you wonder why Ruby spent her whole life training when any idiot could just walk into the gravitonium chamber and become the destroyer.

I expect ratings tomorrow to be low because so many will be watching IW tonight instead of the show and others will skip the show because they don't know it won't spoil the movie.
I unfortunately expect the same. And this show really cannot afford to lose any viewers if it wants a chance at a season 6.
It tied a series low for demo (0.4) with last week and set a new series low in total viewers (1.626 million). All said, better than I expected.

Honestly at this point, I think AoS left the MCU timeline in a way...

That's all I'll say. Plus, it really feels like this is gonna end end and they are going out with that bang.

Honestly, in MCU New York he could've been talking about anything. Could be the mess with Jessica Jones and fam for all we know, haha. But it's hard to imagine the season won't end with some serious fallout from IW.

They must've known beforehand that IW was getting moved up.

Or that one sentence was easy enough to shoot after the fact.

Just curious...was Talbot on AoS ever tied to Thunderbolt Ross at all? I don't keep up with the comics, so literally the only other time I remember seeing Talbot was as Ross's lapdog in the 90's Hulk animated show.

Well of course they would have to keep IW talk to a bare minimum. If Agents of Shield spoiled anything big for IW on opening day for the movie then there'd be hell to pay. All things considered, they did a good job of separating what's going on here from the film.

This show is just fucking bonkers.

Bonkers, I say. Definitely up there for my twists I was never expecting.

YoYo's line about "we don't know who's in control" to Talbot is way more relevant now. Quinn, Hall, and a brain-damaged-Hydra-programmed Talbot.

I also like how he specifically took Coulson.

Now then, remember what Centipede did to Garrett: they needed Kree blood to make it work, not just Jiaying. And Ruby had only absorbed 8% of the gravitonium and killing her caused a surge enough knock out all electronics jn the area for a period of time. Talbot absorbed 92%.
Infinity War is gonna be hard to write around.
Nah

Aside from them both being US military, no. They were in completely different branches of the military as well.

There is no way the New York line was a reference to IW. Either IW has to happen in a time period after this season ends or we have to see the effects of IW play out in the show.

There is no other way.

Talbot was a bit-part jokey character who I didn't expect to be involved this season and now (barring a late twist) he's the goddamn Destroyer of Worlds. This show is incredible.

Yup, so good.

When Talbot walked through that door, with the beard, and started squishing guys I was like - goddammit. Of course he's Graviton. The beard! It was right in front of our eyes all along!

I've seen a few people say the reference to IW was lame. I feel like people missed the point of that. That wasn't "the tie-in." That was simply to let the audience know where the show is in the timeline so that we know Infinity War is happening literally right now.

There are three episodes left this season. Chances are that by the season finale, we're going to see the impact of the end of Infinity War.

Oh. And Talbot is fucking Graviton. WHAT.

A curious query I have for thee today: how did Aida research Inhumans in the Framework? Everyone in the Framework was a digital construct, either fabricated or copied. So where did all the Inhuman data come from that she used to infuse herself with powers? It seems like the Inhumans they were researching were specific to the Framework (as in we didn't see them in the real world), so where did she get the data to use to "study" Inhumans. Did she get it all from SHIELD's database? Were all those Inhumans already logged in the database and she was just cobbling that shit together within the Framework?
Really enjoy Marvel's Corridors of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Also makes you wonder why Ruby spent her whole life training when any idiot could just walk into the gravitonium chamber and become the destroyer.
Ruby was engineered and educated to be the perfect soldier and leader. Basically conditioned to be a super soldier. The problem is that she lacked resolve. She believed she deserved the power and wanted it given to her, she had no desire to actually earn it, so she couldn't take on the infusion process because she lacked the resolve, and therefore strength to do so.

Talbot had complete and utter resolve. "If I do this, then I can fix it." Without a second thought. It wasn't just about power, it was about a solution to the problem and a shot at redemption. Plus Talbot's head is so fucked up, taking in two more minds was like "eh whatevs." Unlike Creel and Ruby, who are all there, so to speak.

They could have drawn from ANYTHING in the trailers or TV sports that have already been shown.

Jake Busey just has that kind of face where I can't completely buy him as a good guy, I'm just waiting for him to backstab someone at any moment LOL

I've been trying to place who Jake Busey actually was, and struggling to not think he's actually Josh Homme from QOTSA.

I have no Idea why Talbot would even be in the race for the gravitonium machine, given that others "trained their whole life" and still didn't make it fully, but I totally dig the idea of turning him into Graviton, now that he's somewhat unhinged. It's a really well-done plot spanning so many seasons, I can't imagine they planned it from the start, but yeah it works really well. The SHIELD writing staff is great at coming up with these story connections.

I wonder if
some of the cast dissapears at the end of next weeks episode. I'm not sure how long Vakanda fight took place after the NY battle.

This whole episode of AoS happened in what feels like a few hours. If they move on similiar speed, we may actually feel IW fallout in the final episode and not next one, hmm.

Unless A4 takes place like a year later instead of just days or something, they can't resolve that until later next year, and it's totally out of the characters' control or understanding.
