You guys realize its a tie in, as in the events are tied in, which is clearly developing before us. It's not just one episode and it's also not a crossover.
I won't deny that there have been a few time throughout the duration of the series, where I asked on why SHIELD wouldn't assign Captain America to tackle some of the big missions that we've seen Coulson handle due to the nature/scale of the threat.
I mean regardless of reasons like he was probably on another mission; story wise, I would still wonder on why not just send in one of, if not, best asset to deal with the likes of Deathlok or the Centipede Soldiers.
And then I just realized...since it's not secret now that SHIELD is obviously corrupted from within...
and for those of you that have seen TWS, you'd know that Hydra has pretty much infested the entire organization
What if the reason why Agents like Rogers, Clint, or even Natasha, weren't deployed to these missions was because those in power that were corrupt intentionally made sure that they never got those missions.
I mean if Deathlok and the other organizations are actually tied with the corruption of SHIELD, then it would make sense that those with power and influence would make sure that their best agents would conveniently not be assigned to those missions given their rate and chance for success.
I think the Sif episode was so great for me because AoS has the potential to be a really really awesome series of 'one shots' so to speak. Some could be epic, like getting in the middle of a Sif vs Lorelei fight, others could be simple like recovering a Chitauri weapon... or having some nice infighting while getting caught in the middle of a convenience store robbery. There's options, y'know?
I really can't say how much I liked Ward snapping on Nash. They set up the whole 'Clairvoyant can push your buttons' but they did it so smoothly it came off like a planned twist reveal instead of a sort of retconny shove it in type kinda fits storyline. It actually made sense. It really was things that could be done with psyche evals. Awesomeness.
Those thinking May actually betrayed the team are barking up the wrong tree, especially to something like HYDRA that, AFAIK, doesn't even exist in modern times. "Cavalry" has been a bit too good at her job and a bit to deadpanned in the face of death to be all 'Wait let me explain' under physical pressure.
One thing I did think was extra weird was taking all these high level SHIELD guys and having them be solo field agents. They have people for that. That was weird.

It wasn't weird if someone was trying to kill them all. If the leadership is corrupt and those just beneath them aren't corruptible, send them on a mission to hopefully die so you can be corrupt in peace.
I think it has to be, nothing/nobody else makes any real sense. Especially when you factor in the typed text that the clairvoyant's agents have seen on their eye implants.
My, how far we've come from Fitz/Simmons/Skye putzing around in the van breaking radio silence to ask for a sandwich or something... and all the dumb-Indy play in Peru! That second episode (0-8-4 IIRC) still gives me the chills. The bad chills.
Regarding which episode is a CA:TWS "tie in"... they all are from this point on. I mean, the monumental events of CA:TWS basically means there's no way for these last episodes to not tie in. And that's a good thing.
Really liked Deathlok, but I thought he could've been a little more dynamic in his movements. He just seemed a little lumbering. Maybe they wanted to evoke a Terminator-like threat that just comes at you relentlessly... but I think a quicker more dynamic Deathlok would've been a little better.
The one thing that didn't make sense was Ward straight-up murdering the wheelchair bound fake-Clairvoyant. I know, they wanted to make it seem like Ward completely lost it and wanted revenge for Skye, but it made too little sense for an amazingly well trained operative to go off the rails like that.
Such a great episode, having seen TWS I can say that this "end of the beginning" does a fantastic job of setting up that film. The identity of the Clairvoyant is revealed in that movie and I think everyone will be satisfied. Can't wait to see more Deathlok and what happens afterward!
I don't buy any of the above. It would be poor planning on the show's part to allow the "BIG BAD" to be on the movies. It doesn't allow the show to stand on it's own, with it's own bad guy/arc/story.
There has to be tie ins to the overall MCU, but if you kill [BLACKOUT]Pierce, Zola, whoever[/BLACKOUT] on [BLACKOUT]The Winter Soldier[/BLACKOUT], then what the heck is the point of the show?
"Ok guys, time to go home. So-and-so already got the Clairvoyant." - Coulson
Makes no sense, and would cement this show as awful. And I love the show and want to see it get renewed for next year.

I cant believe no has even mentioned anything about Hand turning the Bus around and ordering everyone on it to be killed. She wants Coulson for herself.
Im pretty sure she is the Clairvoyant. Clairvoyant was not a really psychic just a decoy created by Hand. May was reporting to her not knowing that she is the one.

Question, has anyone found a video online of their CA:TWS sneak peek that's the scene of [blackout]Fury in his SUV trying to 'get off the grid' - WS takes his car out, it ends as WS is walking towards the car and then goes into a trailer/tv spot[/blackout] that happened right before the closing credits/ep17 promo? Fandango has released a truncated version of that clip (and without the tv spot at the end), I'm looking for the entire thing that showed at the end of AoS
