Plus we saw him using laptops in the beginning of this season, when he and mac were chasing down Daisy..

There's a lot of people that can use a laptop in my office, but I'm not going to give them access to my servers and switches and routers

Radcliff's ending: INCREDIBLY satisfying. That was a great way to handle him. I kind of thought there might be another way out for him, another real-world human body printed or something. But... this was a good way for the character to go out, finally out of room to wiggle. Very dramatic, final, and poignant.

Whole episode has been fantastic (and as I type, not over), but that was very well done.

And i loved how they ended the team too.. doing that luncheon like that.

Those the little 'teaser' at teh end.. Were the team on a space ship somewhere?

I also liked how Yoyo got mac to come out, but real sorry to see his daughter disappear while hugging her like that..

Wife and I binge-watched the last three episodes. Just finished. Radcliffe's ending was just...holy crap.

I agree.  It was very well done.. Sitting there drinking a glass of wine (or was it something else)..  Then POOF, he disappears and the glass falls to the sand..

Scotch, I believe. Possibly another type of whiskey.  I didn't clearly see the label.

The use of TS Elliot's most famous poem also absolutely perfect.

I finally binged watched all 4 seasons. I only watched around first 10 episodes when they first aired. Haven't watched it since then until last week when I saw the show on netflix. That was a lot of twist.

Yeah, first half of S1 wasn't exactly that great. They really were just biding time for when they could go all [the twist] on us.

Which makes Dalton's performance all the more intriguing. His character was my least favorite during that early going, because he seemed so wooden and cliche-ridden.

And now we know (S1 spoiler ahead!) that Dalton was playing a character who was playing another character, and suddenly that wooden performance makes a lot more sense. And after the big reveal, he was by far and away the best character the show had. (It was nice to see him again last year, if only briefly. Hopefully we haven't seen the last of Grant Ward in this show, though it would be pretty tricky to somehow bring him back at this point)

Oh that reminds me. Spoiler ahead.


In the Framework, it seems like Paul's greatest regret also affected who was going to be Ward's recruiter. Otherwise....how did Victoria Hand came to be the one who recruited him? It's either because of Paul or....something we haven't seen >.>

Dalton actually went back and showed how some of Ward's actions before the reveal - such as hooking up with May while flirting with Skye- were subtle actions to destabilise the team.  His interactions with the fans at that point were really cool.

The first half of S1 had some very good eps, prior to getting to the whole "Hydra reveal"..

HE was one of my top 3, but i did like the reveal he was a hydra agent, THEN Switched to rogue..
And i agree, there's no real way i can see they can bring him back now..

I am and it is okay.  Not great.  Not bad.  I think the worst part is that we're not really given a reason to root for Black Bolt.  Sure they are having Maximus go a bit cliched dictator but he does actually seem to be offering something other than the stagnant dystopia Black Bolt was.

Nope.  Gave it a shot but found the characters to be bland and the plot boring.

It was a series doomed to failure I think.  At least as a stand alone.  Work it into the agents plot line and I think things could have been a lot more interesting.

Didn't get it. 


PS did they deactivate spoiler tags??

This season of Agents is setting up Infinity Wars with lots of Kree interaction.  Same things with the Inhuman show, they did it that way rather than a movie with the final episode revealing they have a 'real' enemy, not humanity, that they were hiding/preparing for during their exile.

I DID like the beginning where they talk about splitting up to find missing members only to have Mac talk about the aliens movies.

That was classic.  And i am liking that paranoid guy who reset up the framework as an opium den of sorts, so people could get away from it all, and now is thinking Daisy was the CAUSE of the planet going BOOM!
