Something a friend noticed -
in Ep 16 when Garett keeps asking May if she's a scorpio. Is he asking if she's a member of the Zodiac?

The Zodiac is a criminal organisation in the comics of which Fury, Edison Po (Poseidon anagram), Garett and Von Strucker are members. It has strong links to the Avengers, the Defenders and Alpha flight, which was also referenced this episode.

Surely not a coincidence?

I think the show focused too much on Skye in the beginning and trying to sell her as the audience member into this world. But she wasn't written very well. This show should just be an anthology show with a different cast and setting each season. So this season is Shield. Next season could be Nova Corps, etc.

Garrett didn't ask her that, it was Blake.

Honestly, I feel like there have been times where those involved with the show have come off either very arrogant or out of tune with the audience.

Instead of being confident in thinking that they'll be getting a second season to continue telling stories left unanswered in season one, they should be/have been focused in telling the best story that they can possibly tell. It's still irking on how gregg pretty much called the skeptics losers for nof understanding the show. Frankly, I feel like they rely too much on the success of marvel studios. If this show wasn't connected to the mcu, I'm pretty sure that it would be cancelled after one season

****. So it was. my bad.

 

[AquamanOS]

That still doesn't add up due to Fitz and Simmons being Level 5.

And Skye's level 1. And for most of the season was a consultant/monitored prisoner.

Obviously they were allowed access to that knowledge on need to know basis. Coulson is their boss, so they need to know he's alive.

I don't know why Ward was promoted though, aside from him being one of the senior members of the team so maybe he needed that clearance to be approved. Remember he was initially supposed to be the field leader since Coulson was the boss and May refused to be into the field at first.

Though it was mentioned in some side material that level 6 and up need to be field qualified, so scientist operatives like Fitz and Simmons can never go above level 5 and that's probably why they weren't promoted too.

 

[Crimson King]

It's odd that they're "teeing up season 2" since that's the opposite of Joss Whedon's MO. He's been pretty adamant about his dislike for non-endings. I guess his brother doesn't share that opinion.

My hope for season 2 is that they a) get new writers and b) work on the pacing. This season eventually got better, but it was way too slow to start.

 

[AquamanOS]

This show should just be an anthology show with a different cast and setting each season. So this season is Shield. Next season could be Nova Corps, etc.

That will never be approved. Heroes wanted to do that, and the exes shut that down fast. Cast familiarity and popularity is one of the draws of tv shows and they'd never risk switching out for a bunch of untested unknowns.

The scientists that brought back Coulson had to be Level 7 right? Confusing.

Well think About Where Nick was during the Winter soldier story line in the comics.

Spoiler

There isn't a Civil War going on, and SHIELD was disbanded in the comics for the most part they were operating undercover like he must have been during the time he brought Coulson back at Tahiti

Spoiler

Fury and Hill stepping down really caught me off guard. I am confused as to their intentions (at Marvel). They are going to rebuild Shield, I think. But only because renaming the show would be.... odd. I mean someone is going to have to handle the stuff they do at UNIT Shield. There will be a lot of Hydra cleanup actions I guess depends a lot on who the clairevoyant actually is. Honestly, I expected a bigger change. I don't know what I expected but Shield still seems to exist. Hydra is there but small. So... *shrugs*

Just because they're preparing a season 2 doesn't mean that when season 1 is done it won't be complete. While Joss Whedon was working on The Avengers he was thinking up ideas for Avengers 2. In fact, before he even started filming he knew that he wanted Ultron to be the villain in the sequel.

My hope for season 2 is that they a) get new writers and b) work on the pacing. This season eventually got better, but it was way too slow to start.

Season 2 won't have to introduce much. Now they can just tell stories.

Wish we had a Hi-Res of that shot!

 

[Dark Raven]

Was there an end scene after the commercial break, after Hand said "he's mine!"? It just ended there for me.

 

[Vartha]

I missed it too if there was, I haven't rewatched it yet

The Captain America sneak peak was part of the episode. Similarly to the Captain America: TFA after credits scene.

 

[Vartha]

Thanks JB!!

 

[Dark Raven]

Thanks. I've already seen TWS so no need for the sneak peek.
