Sneak Peek

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

They just mentioned the Powerful Darkhold!!!

For those that don't know, the Darkhold is a mystical book that grants readers unimaginable power from the God Eating Demogorge (related to Atum).

In the 90's, a detective group made up of psychics, powerful magicians, and police sought to find the Darkhold book and they were part of the Midnight Sons, alongside the Nightstalkers (Blade, Hannibal King, Werewolf by Night, Drake), Morbius, Dr. Strange, and most importantly, the Spirits of Vengeance: Johnny Blaze and Danny Ketch.

This is all great news for Ghost Rider fans!

Actually, they already mentioned it several times in Meet the New Boss and Let Me Stand Next to Your Fire.

Oh my God Daisy whistling at them was so cringey.

 

[BoredGuy]

yeah the bad guys are right there, they see you, no need to call their attention

and with her powers, couldn't she easily launch all those tables at them to quickly stop them?

I'm really getting tired of The Daisy Show

well, it has been the Daisy Show since the very beginning, but she got even more focus after she got her Quake powers.

 

[Heretic]

Any word from the Emmy committee about them going ahead and giving that actress the award in advance for her performance in the intro?

 

[giveyourself12%]

That shield was so cool.

 

[Morg]

Taco Tuesday? Is that a DP Easter egg?

 

[Heretic]

Taco Tuesday? Is that a DP Easter egg?

Doubt it, but I did catch the Quentin Carnival sign early in the episode.

Mace outing himself is pretty interesting.

 

[Shakel92]

Mace outing himself is pretty interesting.

Yes

 

[Asharad]

Mace outing himself is pretty interesting.

Maybe he didn't. Nice work Jemma.

 

[OB12]

Also, this Ghost Rider is so much better than either Cage version.

 

[DN91]

So is Mace really a bad dude or just manipulated by Senator *******?

 

[Flint Marko]

Ghost Rider is by far the best thing to come out of AoS.
I didn't understand anything about the Vienna thing with Mace. Is that supposed to be a mystery?

 

[Vartha]

Man, sounds like I missed another great show!

I think the implication is that he really didn't save anyone during the UN bombing and that it was all just for a PR hit.

Or perhaps he isn't actually an inhuman? He could be a super soldier instead. Or an old LMD.

EDIT: since Simmons was also the only one to easily see through Aida, the LMD thing would make sense to tie in with this season's storyline and it would make sense why she is the only one who called him out on not telling the truth.

I'm with you saying he's a LMD. Called that back when he was introduced. Guessing Jemma saw pics of him at the 1st Stark Expo. Glad to see Daisy wasn't the 100% center but disappointed in their evolution of her powers. She has a gift but it harms her whenever she uses it. I don't recall any other inhumans having negative side effects to using their abilities. Just seems like a contrived way to save a buck on their special effects budget.

 

[chamber-music]

It was cool that they found the Darkhold at Johnny Blaze place. There was a motorcycle and leather jacket like the ones belonging to Blaze and a Quentin Carnival poster. Nice Easter egg for Blaze Ghost Rider fans.

Daisy's suicidal jail fight was stupid.

 

[Uskok]

Mace is an Inhuman. When he meets with Senator Nadeer he specifically says she gave him no option but to tell the truth. But he is hiding something about Zemo's bombing of the Vienna International Centre. Something dirty enough to make him a puppet on Nadeer's strings.

 

[terry78]

Yeah, I am enjoying Reyes' Ghost Rider. He lets his anger get the best of him in regards to vengeance more often than not.
