Brett Dalton must be loving working on this show as he gets to essentially play a new character each season. Sadly the rest of the cast seems to be in a rut as this is starting to get tedious to watch.

This show is like watching a 9 year old playing with his action figures. He's having a great time, but to anyone watching, it's kinda dumb.
I still love Palicki, but they're not using her well. They need to graduate her to the movies or something.

My problem with the show is, even though it's better than it was during the first season, AoS still feels like a generic spy show that happens to have some Marvel characters in it. AoS needs to stop acting as filler for the movies and start doing it's own thing.

So how has Simmons dumped on Fitz lately? I gave up on AOS earlier this season.

Ward/Malik are definitely the most interesting characters anymore. I would kind of like to see the treat of Hydra be a vast army of uniformed minions instead of a evil demi-god thing though.
Talbot was always kind of corny, but he was just awful in this episode. Creel is always worthwhile.

Like the idea of him also being a possible prevention/cure similar to the boy in X-Men 3.
Maybe I'm the only one, but I actually prefer this show being a mix of both the spy and super-hero genres. Just enough of those with powers to make it more than just the typical spy show, but not so much that it often becomes as silly as super-hero shows can be when the heroes suddenly forget how to use their powers.

Fitz and Simmons (at her urging) decided to go for a do-over, and have taken their relationship back to the very beginning, -and then nothing more has been done on that front. The only upcoming thing I heard is that May will give Simmons some type of combat training. I begin to wonder if the show is quietly moving the FitzSimmons relationship to the back-burner, as it was in Season One. Clearly, the Simmons/Space Boyfriend storyline didn't go over with fans, so unless she's pregnant, -which seems unlikely now, -its pretty much done.

Peggy Carter is so much better than AoS it's hard to believe it's produced by the same people.
The show is just a big build up to the Inhumans movie now. It's hard to see how they'll fit Civil War into the plot.

The abundance of inhumans and people with powers on this show now has turned me off so much, I'm on the brink of jumping ship.
I wanted this as a cool black ops/spy show. I did not want a single power. This was always in the Marvel Universe for sure, and I wanted that with an occasional tie-in or a mission that's a movie follow-up, but this began as a counterpoint, as another side of the coin--the non-powered in a newly-powered world.
Now it's just the same side of the same coin.

It's not just that it's become too many super-powered people, it's basically become the Inhumans TV show, instead of SHIELD.

I suspect that when (or if) the Inhumans movie comes out, it will have almost no connection to what this show has done.

I'm sure, much like the secret repairs of the hover-carrier was for the build up to Winter Soldier. Sure it wasn't really mentioned in the movie, but they managed to fit it in. I'm sure it will be the same for Civil War and Inhumans.

I'm hoping for the Royal Family living in Attillan in the Blue Area on the Moon. Don't really see the movie appeal of a bunch of third rate X-Men wannabes.

Yeah, this show still hasn't resolved its identity crisis. It's still kind a Marvel Universe spy show with a sci-fi bent. The Inhumans angle-very X-Men with the a mutant-type thing-seems to be adding a little spice, but mostly the show is still disappointingly flavorless. Agent Tight T-Shirt and Hunter are probably the most interesting characters, and now apparently they'll be leaning shortly. The cast is pretty amicable, but most of the characters-Mack, Daisy, Lincoln ("shake and bake"
)-just don't have much personality. May and Coulson are slightly better, but the whole "cure" idea brings X3 to mind, which really isn't a great thing. It's a neat moral paradox to pivot on though, but in a superhero universe where good guys and bad guys have to be clear-cut, I don't know how ambiguous they can make it.

What a terrible plot twist, especially with how quickly Talbot reformed and then things fell in place. Neither Hydra nor SHIELD at this point feel like the kind of global organizations they should be. In a really dumb comic-booky way I wouldn't mind more standard uniforms for both factions, though I realize here both were under cover.
How does it seem like a good idea to any of these world leaders to create a Genosha for Inhumans?
