All I could think of while looking at Jake Busey is that he's totally going to play Donald Trump in a TV movie about his term in office in the future.

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?
While the Framework was a simulation at its core, I got the impression the Darkhold being used meant it was more than the sum of its parts. So, the answer is literally magic.

So has this season been good still? Things happened and I stopped watching past episode 3 i think (it was when simmons got deaf! by that alien guy and finding out what happened to earth). It was really good so far, has it been keeping up?

Yeah, it's quality, although the budget restrictions are really noticeable

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

Thanks! I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss that connection, if there was one.

Can we infer that letting Coulson die just meant not saving him from Hydra, because that led to Talbot getting to the Lighthouse.

Maybe, but then why wouldn't Future Yo-Yo just say "Don't save Coulson from HYDRA"? I think you're onto something with that, though; maybe not going to rescue Coulson would prevent the chain of events that lead to the Earth being destroyed.

That entire Talbot sequence was top notch. What a great, unexpected turn of events to happen with that character.

I forgot that the Framework was brought to completion because Radcliffe used the Darkhold. I remember Aida using it to build the gateway in the SHIELD base, and Robbie's uncle using it for his experiments. I legit forgot that Radcliffe used it and got corrupted. Show's how memorable Aida is as a villain and how bonkers S4 was.

Because she doesn't understand the circumstances under which Coulson will die. We don't know if his death is directly Hydra related. Talbot could kill him for all we know. And now we have Robin saying Coulson puts the pieces all together to Daisy and May, so there's conflict there as well.

The entire group is falling apart, and for a legitimately good reason, which is really impressive for this kind of show.

OH SHIT I JUST REALIZED

"Coulson puts all the pieces together" is referring to the completion of the Destroyer of Worlds. Talbot, Quinn, and Hall have all been fixated on Coulson, and are now "complete" as Graviton inside Talbot's body. This means that it's very possible that the next sequence of events is reliant on Graviton, and whether or not he kills Coulson.

"Coulson puts all the pieces together" because saving Coulson w/ the serum chain reactions the events that lead to the loop maintaining. Robin wants the loop maintained.

If the events of IW do happen this season though:
I bet that's why Mack's not there in the future.

I think there's no way the writers or cast of AOS knew about what happens in IW.

There's a thematic tie in this season that's pretty clearly the season's true IW tie in.
Save 1 vs Save the world. That moral choice comes up over and over and over in the movie.

What benefit would Robin have to maintaining the loop assuming she was some sort of immortal demon or whatever? She dies at the end of it all.

that's gotta be top 3 dumbest shit i've ever seen in this show.

If her powers work in such a way that she experiences all of her life at once in a non-linear order, than maintaining the time loop maintains her consciousness.
So she maintains the loop so she doesn't go nuts? Is that what I'm to understand?

You assume that ICEing Ruby was viable and that Talbot is automatically erased when the gravitonium infused in him and that they aren't about to kill Coulson.

Again, Talbot had something neither Creel nor Ruby had: resolve.

Yet lives again simultaneously because it's a loop repeatedly spawning new universes.
So is she looking for one where shit changes? Because as I see it, there's no real motive here. She lives and dies in every single loop where, as far as we know, nothing substantial changes. For her to perpetuate this apocalyptic loop with no real benefit other than "well technically I live forever I guess" doesn't scream "worth it" to me.

Talbots mind is jumbled enough right now that it probably helps him keep the other voices at bay. He has been pushing hard as hell to in jumble his mind but we still see hints of the conditioning with repeating the coordinates over and over etc.

Season 4 is apparently coming to Blu-Ray. It's now listed on the Japanese Amazon store and several people have claimed that they heard it's coming on for the UK as well which should be region free like the other UK Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D sets. Got my information over at Blu-Ray.com forums. No release date or any other details at this time.

I remember seeing a Robin drawing of one big person with a bunch of smaller people inside (like, at least three or four). I wouldn't be surprised if Quinn/Hall/maybe even others are still mixed in there.

Graviton Talbot outta fucking nowhere, what a swerve. That Jaiying grave has my head spinning too, why is she important to Garett's life juice, why was she connected to Hydra before its fall, how the hell did they plan all this already?!

Too many plot threads for 3 episodes to be left, there gotta be a Season 6.

I can't believe people in this thread are pretending that the writers didn't know what would happen at the end of Infinity War. They don't need to see the film or read the script. Anyone who is a fan of Marvel knows what would happen in IW.

Some people forget or don't know that they wrote season 1 to dovetail into the release week of Winter Soldier. I remember commercials and promos explicitly stating "Make sure you catch Winter Soldier this Friday in theaters!". I think they might have even taken a week break to give people a chance to see it.

There was also the build up and scenes of the helicarrier being built that made it into Age of Ultron that Fury had at the end when they evacuated the flying city. Also Coulson giving Hill the location of Loki's Staff.

Hope I'm not wrong, but for IW to finally be here, seems too big of an event for the writers of SHIELD to completely ignore, or just have that one throwaway line.

I really hope to see part of the last episode or extra stinger allude to it or have some consequences of the fallout.

Remember that in the 80s after he was released from prison, Daniel Whitehall captured Jiaying and tortured her and used her Inhuman powers to de-age himself. So they also used her DNA in Garrett's Centipede serum.

I will buy the complete Blu-ray when the show ends - wherever that may be (if it comes out). Would love to have that - but I never do separate seasons of shows anymore

....well, except for True Detective S1. I dont want S2 anywhere near me, ever.
