The man pulled the activator for the portal while he was on the other side. He absolutely, for sure, most definitely could have just tossed the bomb and pulled the activator before it hit the ground lmao.
He wanted his jacket back.

The actor said this just before the scene filmed, noting he could then continue the show with the gang. An awkward silence descended upon the set.So Jaco could've just thrown the bomb in the portal by itself right
So do we think Deke buys Snow a new wardrobe so that she stops dressing in castoff paint ball gear or does she keep her look?
Yes.You mean the paint ball/motorcycle armor almost every damn television show for half a decade uses as a stand-in for "high tech body armor?"
Nope, the portal doesn't immediately collapse once the device is removed, if it did it would've cut his arm off once removed. The nuke would've gone off before it could fully collapse.The man pulled the activator for the portal while he was on the other side.

They were on the small jet. Is there more than one containment chamber? If so, yeah that was stupid.I'm partially caught up but couldn't find the time to completely finish up over the weekend.
Inescapable is definitely the highlight of the season, and perhaps the last two seasons. The space plot this season has been a slog to get through for me, but this payoff almost makes the whole thing worth it.
Toldja was enjoyable too, though it bugs me that too often this season, the plot is forced to progress through characters who should have known better doing dumb things. Just like Keller didn't need to die because a literal speedster was in the room when it became clear the space bat wasn't dead, there was just no reason anyone should have thought it was a good idea to put the two drones in a room together with nothing separating them. These characters just aren't supposed to make these kind of mistakes and it feels like they are being written out of character for plot reasons because the big bad this season doesn't seem to have any real intelligence to it and our heroes have to be dumbed down in order for it to be even remotely threatening.
Weren't they on Zephyr One? They don't have a bigger jet than that.They were on the small jet. Is there more than one containment chamber? If so, yeah that was stupid.
They were on the quinjet, the small one that docks at the top of the Zephyr One.Weren't they on Zephyr One? They don't have a bigger jet than that.
I don't actually recall if Zephyr One can carry more than one containment module, but in any case, it seems more prudent to keep one under armed guard and one in the module.
The docking sequence was shown right before the containment module scene though?They were on the quinjet, the small one that docks at the top of the Zephyr One.
I don't think so. Maybe someone else can chime in.The docking sequence was shown right before the containment module scene though?
Davis is literally no one's boy.
I love it. He was a perfect choice. Go back to S3 when Coulson puts him in charge of the mission to siege Hydra's castle when they're going to Maveth to get Hive. Like, it's an arc in the making.9 episodes in, including a dope speech, how do people feel about Mack as the new director?
I think it suits him very well so far. More importantly, the added responsibilities seems to have cooled off his moral compass tendencies. I mean they were overall necessary, especially last season, but I know that was the one aspect of Mack that could annoy people at times. Like he isn't suddenly acting out of character or anything, but at the same time it ain't in your face either this season.
What if Sarge is Coulson from the fear dimension? He came through at the same time as Izel. What does SHIELD fear about Coulson? One who doesn't care about his team, one unwilling to save people. One who doesn't remember what he's fighting for. One with no memories if Tahiti went wrong.
I mentioned this earlier in the thread:His team mention they've known him for a long time, I think it's a good theory but Jaco, etc all poke holes in it.
So it's true, but if something fucked with this Sarge's memories, isn't it possible that something fucked with Jaco and and the rest's memories as well?Well, let's look at this:
-The time monolith traveled the team specifically 100 years into the future. Coulson says he's 100 years older than them. Granted, it's obviously just a number he picked, but it's a number of note.
-Benson says that hypothetically, the third stone controls life and death. Izel says that that the stones let her, and correct me if I'm wrong on the word she uses, "travel between space and time and -- " before she was cut off by Fitz and Simmons. So she lists the abilities of two separate stones, and then was about to list the third stone before interruption. She specifically says she can use it to "travel between" something. Again, correct me on that, but that's what I recall. Could be dimensions, could be life and death.
-It's not really specified what Izel is yet. She's an alien of some kind, but she's a creator of some kind of race. The Kree created Inhumans, but as modified humans and using experiments. Izel seems to create Shrike from...what, exactly? We don't see them reproduce, just make crystals. Sarge doesn't say anything about them like that other than a Creator. All we see her do is open her hands and POOF, she has one. So where do they come from?
-They state that she emerged from a dimension of fear and space, I believel. When the monoliths blew up, they created a rift that opened up to a fear dimension. Did they release Izel again? And perhaps a Coulson copy?
Jaco talks to Sarge earlier asking if he set it up properly, meaning he knows how it works. I assumed he put it back together, because we know Deke tinkered with it a bit before giving up.Same. Otherwise how do they still have a working bomb afterwards?
I love it. He was a perfect choice. Go back to S3 when Coulson puts him in charge of the mission to siege Hydra's castle when they're going to Maveth to get Hive. Like, it's an arc in the making.
He's just...I don't like him. There's a tragedy to him I can't connect to. A humor and quirkiness I'm not really amused by. A skillset outshone and outclassed by others.I can't agree at all, I didn't care for him at all back then. Dude just felt like a discount Starlord. While he is without a doubt intensely quirky, I like him a lot more now, especially after the reveal of him being related to FitzSimmons. He can be annoying, and we really gotta talk about this Daisy obsession, but he family lmao
So Jaco could've just thrown the bomb in the portal by itself right
In fact, as far as comparing him to central cast characters over the course of the series and favorites to least favorites, I'd say he's down at the bottom with Lincoln.
I don't see Mack as cocky at all this season. In fact he's more humble than he's ever been given that he's constantly trying to measure up to Coulson.
Oh yeah well that's just him playing the game the way it needs to be played.I meant cocky when he deserves to be, like when he was trash talking Sarge right before busting free and kicking his ass.
Thanks for the catch
I totally forgot about Davis' back story as well lol.
This isn't about this season, but I'm maybe 3 or 4 episodes deep on S1, and I'm not sure if I'm feeling it much. It's kind of campy & silly. Should I keep watching it? Are there bigger moments, or is it just minor stories with the bigger connecting tissue just being the relationship of the team? I'm not big on single story episodes most of the time, and really like continuing plot lines. Does that develop in this series, or is every episode a self contained story?
We literally know nothing except what has been said. The popular theories here and what I've seen floating around are:So is Sarge just like some weird Coulson warrior robot thing? From the setup they're giving I'd assume either Sarge's going to come back or some other Coulson faced being is going to pop up again especially considering Izel indicated that they have some greater history beyond what he described and he is important to her in some way.
As others have said, season 1 is pretty rough, especially at the beginning. There are some actually really decent episodes before it, but if you can keep with it to Episode 17 (otherwise known as Turn Turn Turn), then you'll start being rewarded for sticking with it and outside of a bad episode or two, everything after episode 17 is noticeably better than pretty much everything that came before it.This isn't about this season, but I'm maybe 3 or 4 episodes deep on S1, and I'm not sure if I'm feeling it much.

Also thisDeke doesn't have a "thing" or even some super interesting dynamic with any of the other characters so he just feels like an extra at all times.
Awesome. I'll try to convince the fiancée to stick with it haha. Thanks for the feedback!

I don't remember the first eps, but most seasons have a major big bad. You get the Marvel universe stuff without everyone having crazy super-powers. There are other planets, time travel, all sorts of sci-fi and tech, virtual reality simulation, and so on. Great show.This isn't about this season, but I'm maybe 3 or 4 episodes deep on S1, and I'm not sure if I'm feeling it much. It's kind of campy & silly. Should I keep watching it?

Caught up.
I feel like they could have cut some of the early parts of the space adventure and introduced Izel earlier. As it is, she just sort of materializes out of nowhere, ends up being Fitz and Simmons's get out of jail free card, and taxis them back to Earth unharmed with the jump drive she happened to have in her pocket for no apparent reason. That's all just a little too contrived.
Poor Jaco's actor. Just wanted more adventures :(
I sorta want them to just go super weird with it and have it be some meta nonsense about a Beyonder watching their adventures and being too invested in Coulson to let him die.We literally know nothing except what has been said. The popular theories here and what I've seen floating around are:
-Fear dimension clone
-Multiverse alternate Coulson
-Product of the deal with Ghost Rider
I mean Supernatural's done dumb shit like that before. And that's finally dying on like, 15? So I mean, it's not out of the realm. Plus it wouldn't be that weird. The Beyonder did shit like that in the comics too I'm pretty sure. Acted all childish and shit. Followed Spider-Man around for awhile to learn to be people. Honestly I'd be okay with it, and it'd be super fucked up. The problem is that, and this is an issue I have with sci-fi and fantasy, you have to end it. Like, once you hit "the origin of all space and time" or some high end super being that's way too far, you gotta end it, and a Beyonder is that point. Like, not for the MU as a whole, but for AoS it is.I sorta want them to just go super weird with it and have it be some meta nonsense about a Beyonder watching their adventures and being too invested in Coulson to let him die.
