Question. Did anyone else notice that Coulson was the only one that Blackout could not affect?
 
When Ward was hunting Skye, what did she see in the wall painting?
I'm sure that was one of those Electronic Scenery images Eric mentioned in the episode before. SHIELD used them in the recovery room Steve Rogers woke up in after his thawing.

But I'm sure she left something seeing as it's electronic
 
I read someone else's speculation on a different site that Phil Coulson could be like a Phillip Lawson because of GH 325. GH may stand for Geheneris Halason. Thus Coulson may start to have Captain Marvel abilities. Just something I read on a different site.
 
Also it was speculated that Skye could become Ms Marvel due to being injected with Kree blood. Also, she may already be part Kree since she is an 084
 
Did anyone catch the name Skye was given when she was young.....Mary Sue Poots.

Are the writers poking us with that one.

Maybe I saw it wrong, but I didn't notice that. I saw Blackout attempt to zap him with his blackout beam, but as it was approaching Phil, Trip hit him with another beam which broke his concentration.

Phil was shown to be thrown back by the blackout beam earlier in the episode, he was chucked a few feet back just like Simmons.

I agree; Coulson was thrown back the first time. The second time Coulson was not affect by Blackout. Then Trip hit him with another beam that hit Blackout in the head. Funny Blackout had been hit with 3 beams and not affected (seemingly) but gets vaporized with only 2 beams.

Yeah, that was a little odd.
 
Another thing to think about is that when Coulson was hit the first time Audrey the Cellist had been whisked away from the danger. The second time Coulson is hit; Audrey is in real danger. Maybe he only has superhuman powers when people he cares about are in extreme danger.
 
Great episode! But please, please, please AOS, don't become the "Murder She Wrote" of the MCU (On this weeks episode this lovable guest star gets wacked or is the killer ...). :yay:



RIP

Anyone else think Blackout isn't dead?
 
Considering he was dispersed and had weird light based power, yeah it's possible he's not dead.
 
With the lineage/connection they gave Triplett, I hope they don't kill him off in the last couple episodes.
 
Could you clarify, am I missing something?

When Koenig has her in the lie detecting chair, and asks her her name, she says Skye, but then adds "Well, the name they gave me at the orphanage was Mary Sue Poots.."

Since there has been some complaining by fans that the writers are setting up Skye to be a Mary Sue character, I don't think it's a coincidence that the writers gave her this name.
 
They made him the grandson of Gabe Jones (Derek Luke) from TFA's Howling Commandos.

Come to think of it, I remember that part. I want him to interact with Cap only to say "My grandfather thought very highly of you."

it's been assumed that Gabe has been dead for a while when Cap unfreezes, so maybe mentioned in past tense.
