I haven't watched any of season 3 yet, but I plan to. Good to hear they're not dragging things out.. Gotham has been BRILLIANT at keeping a good, exciting pace, so it's nice to hear AoS is following suit.
Super-psyched about Agent Carter... I'll probably get my act together and watch that as it's broadcast.

Agents continues to throw in some unexpected twists - really didn't see the latest one coming.

Saw the mid-season finale - some surprising developments again. Not surprised that Wil turned out to be the big bad - that's standard comic fare . Was pretty surprised that Coulson actually killed Ward, but not that Ward got "Mysteronised" by the evil slug inhuman Though the remaining question is how on/off earth did Slug-Ward get back to earth after the portal shut? |

Though the remaining question is ... That question is the same I had. It seems like that should not have been possible unless the agents were terribly incompetent. Perhaps it will be explained in the second half of the season. Otherwise, I really liked the mid-season finale, and the whole first half of the season. I thought it was an entertaining mix of mysteries, surprises and action. |

Great news! I'm interested in seeing how Civil War shakes up the show going forward, just as Winter Soldier did two years ago.
Now, if we can just get a third season of Agent Carter...

Well the series wrapped fairly predictably (I certainly nailed the character who was going to fulfill Daisy's vision - and not at all sorry to see that character go), though with a lot of twists on the way.
The sort-of post-credits set up for the next series looked interesting enough as well. I hope they give Inhumans a bit a of a rest in the next series - I was thoroughly overdosed in this one, especially with the Alpha Primitives which were certainly a large step too far - they were just pitiful.

Finally had a chance to watch the two-part season finale last night. While the character who died will not be missed (at least in The Captain's household) and their death was pretty predictable, I liked how they kept moving the cross that Yo-Yo had given to Mac from character to character throughout the episodes, so as to keep viewers wondering if maybe, just maybe, it would be someone else who was going to buy the farm. Also glad that it looks like we've seen the last of Brett Dalton as Grant Ward/Hive. I've liked the work he's done on the show, but as I posted elsewhere on this board, if he came back for Season 4, it would veer too far into cartoon territory. Hopefully the Whedons have something good cooked up for Season 4, as it looks very likely that will be the last season of the show barring a miracle influx of viewers. I wouldn't mind seeing some more B- and C-level MU villains, as well as some closure on storylines like "Whatever happened to Graviton?" |

I agree, and it was fun to see the writers tease us that way. Although the fallen agent turned out to be the one I hoped it would be, it kept me on my toes until the end... Especially as more and more characters faced potentially lethal situations! (Not that I especially disliked the agent who finally bought it, but in terms of future story potential I wanted all the others to stay alive. Plus it was a good death scene). The post-ending scene might herald something akin to the Delta affair from the late '80s... which might not be a good idea, however well as it worked back then. To today's audience, it would sound like recycling the Cylon plot from Battlestar Galactica. |

Perhaps I missed something...
There's an article at CBR asking who will replace Coulson at the head of SHIELD, a question apparently prompted by the way season 3 ended.
Er...
Season three ended with a "six months later" segment in which Coulson and Mac are tracking a Daisy gone rogue after the traumatic end of the Hydra/Ward storyline. As far as I can tell, Coulson did a good job ensuring that the world wasn't covered with terrigen mists so... why wouldn't he simply stay on as head of SHIELD? Not that I'd mind seeing May take the top spot or see someone from the movies become director and leave Coulson to head his small task force, but in the context of the TV series itself I don't understand this development.

We don't know the why it happened yet, but in that scene of which you speak, Coulson clearly refers to "the director" as a separate person. |

Ghost Rider looks really dumb, you guys. preview images...   Robby Reyes from the comics...  so it pretty much is spot on the look of the new Ghost Rider in the comics. So if you think it's dumb, blame the comic not the show, as the show pretty much directly is taking the current comic look. -M |

I can actually accept Inhumans, Absorbing Man, and a portal to another planet as somehow fitting into this universe they've created, but Ghost Rider is so completely out of place on this show, it isn't funny.
