Who the hell are the twins you speak of? Do you mean Fitz and Simmons? They aren't even related, let alone twins. Do you even watch this show, or are you just being facetious?

Sorry, they're often called the "twins", "wonder twins", or even "squints" for short, to poke fun of them. I know they are not related, but early on when everyone was bitching about them being interchangeable and questioning if they were a couple, or even related, they were given nicknames on the internet. That one stuck with me. Personally, I like Scoobies.

That is a huge spoiler that should probably be covered from naive eyes. It's almost certainly where the story is headed.

I didn't think it was so huge for people who have no idea what I'm talking about, but I covered it up anyway, in case anyone else thinks so.

Nope.
Not.


I never heard them asked twins either but I don't read show specific message boards.

Seemed obvious to me that Ward did not shoot the dog.
Only other person around that we know of was Garrett so........

That being said, I think that the GH alien is not an alien, rather another Inhuman. Its DNA can heal other Inhumans without adverse effects (Skye), but cannot safely heal humans.

I like that Inhumans theory. I was thinking it was

a Kree body, partly from the looks and partly because I believe Sif said the Kree had been to Earth.

Sorry, never heard of this before. I wouldn't go with Scoobies, either, as even though this is a Joss Whedon produced show, that moniker was already used for Buffy, and was much more fitting there.

It just occurred to me... It might be a combination of both. After all, in the comics,
Spoiler:
the Inhumans are descendants of the Kree.

I think it's been confirmed outside of the show it was a

So, Whedon-fans followed David Boreanaz to Bones, where the science team are called "squints", and "scoobies" is the nickname for the non-combat based (not the slayers) good guys on Buffy. Although, that varied a bit as Buffy herself was sometimes called a "scoobie".
