Yes, that's what he uses to shoot the mini-rockets.

And he seems to becoming more cybernetic with each appearance.

I'm glad the rest of the season is uninterrupted. I've watched them all dvr'ed so I usually watch 3 to 4 in one sitting.

Man this is looking good. Can't wait to see how the final episodes play out.

Are we expecting this issue to do anything to lead into Cap america?

 

[drod1985]

The series logo has been incorporating Cap's SHIELD for the past few weeks, so I feel like the show's plot will somehow intersect with or come to a head at the same time as TWS's plot.

Here's a clip from next week's episode, Coulson and the team going after Deathlok.

It does.

Spoiler

in the April 1 episode, Hand (I think?) is seen sending Sitwell to the Indian Ocean, and he's on the Indian ocean ship in TWS. And the reveal of [BLACKOUT]SHIELD = HYDRA[/BLACKOUT] from TWS starts in this next episode as well, with Hand trying to kill the team.

I really hope next season if there is one. They do a better job with the breaks its nice to know there is no breaks till the end of the season the rest of the way. I think the Olympics though easily made them have to take more breaks than they probably should. I think they will take less breaks next year.

I want to know who said "youuu've been betrayed"

 

[Alex_Kidd]

I want to know how the production will not spoil cap2 in the show... The events of the movie are so heavy for the show... I hope will be not another fake tie in like the thor's one...

 

[jonathancrane]

Um, the Thor episode did tie in with TDW; if not for TDW, Loreli would still have been in prison...

Trust me, it's not. The two fit like a glove.

Pretty sure Alex_Kidd was referring to The Well, which only really tied in at the very beginning of the episode. Only a crazy person (or somebody that didn't watch the episode) would think the Lorelei episode wasn't a huge tie-in.

 

[Silvermoon]

Ep9/Repairs I also see as tying into Thor: The Dark World. The laboratory accident/what happened to Tobias, FitzSimmons speculate was because they were trying to recreate a portal between realms like what London experienced during the Convergence.

 

[Alex_Kidd]

Yep, I was talking about "The well"
Not the Lorelei one.

 

[Vartha]

My whole "issue" is was it REALLY Odin who sent Sif after Lorelei, or Was it LOKI who sent Sif after Lorelei for his own purpose?

it was definitely loki, since this happened after thor2
we still dont know where odin is, but the real question is why loki want lorelei.. hard to see that he just wants an escaped prisoner back

 

[hoy-small-fry]

Lorelei can

a) Form an army by mere presence that could defeat him
b) Form an army by mere presence for him if she was an ally
c) Take over the Earth, which has become a pet project for Loki

So yeah, I can see why he'd want her back

He's also got to keep up the ruse of being Odin

Good video there. Still can't believe we have Paxton on this show. Next week is going to be an incredible and long week.

Its like he accidentally walked into the wrong door and got shot at XD

I really wonder how that fits into the context of the episode.

 

[Alex_Kidd]

well...action is a little bit lame... I hope they'll give a motivation to this scene and that's not a real attack from deathlok... After seen the Winter Soldier all the concept of action sequence is changed, for me.

[Whiskey Tango]

You're not going to get Cap 2 quality action on this show any more than you'll get high end CGI.

 

[hopeless]

Interesting I wonder if they'll go into detail about his former partner.

My reaction to the first video is that Deathlok was sent after one or both of them.

Spoiler

Watched the Winter Soldier earlier today and I can't help feeling Deathlok is targeting an agent of Hydra and that the Clairvoyant isn't Zola or Hand the question is, is Garrett a member of Hydra?

Would explain why he went along with Coulson if they didn't know about that facility either and those soldiers identified Garrett and that's why they refused to listen to Coulson.

I can't see Coulson having a replacement eye implant and it remain undiscovered so maybe one of the others?

Oh what if Tripletts partner was killed because he threatened the Clairvoyant's attempt to add to his roster of unwary spies... but then has Deathlok been sent because he's now a risk or he was actually there to capture them so they could be interrogated regarding what they saw in that facility instead?
