Sneak peeks please !

 

[Fogh]

Sneak peeks please !

Honestly I don't care about the sneak peeks because they have been just as useless to predict the overall plot as the descriptions.

 

[DN91]

Given that the episode airs on December 1st and not this coming Tuesday, I guess we won't be getting any sneak peaks until later this week.

Egads with a promo like that you never know what we may get

I suspect plenty of fight sequences and a set up for 3-10 mid season break which will be Simmons planet monster / Inhumans special powers bonanza.

(I hope.)

Thanksgiving break. ABC's showing a Charlie Brown thing at 8, then Dancing on SHIELD's timeslot.

and Dancing On SHIELD's Timeslot is this years special documentary, right?

 

[Ant]

When the heck was it confirmed that the name of the planet it 'Maveth'???

 

[Mike Murdock]

Apparently that's the Hebrew word on the inscription.

 

[Ant]

Well, yeah, I knew that's what the word was, but I didn't know that's what the name of the planet was.

 

[Fogh]

Well, yeah, I knew that's what the word was, but I didn't know that's what the name of the planet was.

I don't believe it has been confirmed. I just think maybe the characters on the show could call it that because of the scroll,

Spoiler

hence the title of episode 3x10.

 

[DN91]

Spoiler

Maybe that's actually the very name of the creature.

I'm surprised there ISN'T a Dancing with Shield special with how well the Dubsmash went!

I have a pretty good feeling Ward's Marvel ID is going to be revealed before the winter break.

 

[Mike Murdock]

Unless he's an original character? Is this the new Clairvoyant?

 

[SirStrangefolk]

Unless he's an original character? Is this the new Clairvoyant?

Heh, it might be. Brett has strongly hinted that he's not an original character though. He is very much aware of all the speculation. In his latest interview with IGN Hellfire, Taskmaster and Punisher were named as characters he'd often heard. He even said that if they revealed he was someone from the comics he might finally get his appearance in the SHIELD comic and his action figure, and implied that the reason this hasn't happened yet is because his character is not yet revealed.

 

[Mike Murdock]

Do you got a link? I believe Mark Guggenheim said he plans on introducing Ward to the comics. Now whether it's as Grant Ward or as some other comics character, I don't know.

 

[darthcoolness3]

Unless he's an original character? Is this the new Clairvoyant?

If he's the new Clairvoyant, he will probably be blasted by Inhumans and replaced at the end of the season.

Mid season cliff hanger, Ward in an inhuman cocoon!

It's about 16 minutes in, but the rest is interesting too, he talks a lot about the midseason cliffhanger among other things. Especially around 19 minutes in it seems like the closest to a confirmation he could give without actually officially confirming anything.

Mid season cliff hanger, Ward in an inhuman cocoon!

I think two inhuman characters on a team of only six (the original team), plus Andrew, would make it look as if the percentage of inhumans among the general population is considerably high. It's already a bit too crowded.
