Anyone else catch the news crawl "Gang War rages in Hell's Kitchen"?

I did not, but i like that.

After last week's awesome episode, although i hate that Bobbie and Hunter aren't on the show anymore, absolutely hate it, this episode was pretty meh.

I think they've been building up to Civil War for quite some time now.

I just really wish they would have made an effort to really tie this show more into the movies, and even the Netflix shows, via cameos. It doesn't have to be anything major.
Just have Iron Man fly over and take a few guys out and defuse a tricky situation in seconds, then have him call Coulson and say, "Phil, thought you were dead", Coulson says something witty back to him, Iron Man says something jackass like back, and end of conversation and cameo. He could have just been on his way to Norway or wherever he went for Age of Ultron where the internet hub was, and saw a quinjet so made a minor detour to help very quickly.
They could have JJ come on and question her about Kilgrave, just to see if he was an inhuman or not.

I think integrating the Netflix people to this show a little more would be nice, especially with Civil War coming up. Maybe Season 4 of AoS will incorporate more stuff like that depending on how Civil War goes.

Still don't understand why they don't tell the Avengers coulson is alive. That could be done in the upcoming movie, but it won't. It's as if they don't want to tell them he's alive simply to keep the film and tv separate.
They have all these tv shows, but don't use the movies that hundreds of million of people go see to try to give the show a nod somehow and give it a little advertisement.

Anyone else hear them name drop Damage Control?

That Coulson hasn't gone to Hell's Kitchen yet is one my biggest disappointments regarding the MCU...especially since given the story SHIELD has been looking for gifted people...and JJs ties to SHIELD, etc.

I just caught up on the past 3 episodes. I'm not sure where to start but how has no one brought up the SHOTGUN AXE YET??? That was great tv right there!

I get this, because it would be more than just name drops or references. But when they did have cameos early on, the show hadn't really found its legs and that helped generate interest. However, the show has been at full sprint for a while now and really doesn't need more than name drops or references IMO. I feel like, at this point, it would be more advantageous for there to be a cameo or reference to the show made in a movie.

I came here thinking others would be growing bored of AoS like myself. Maybe there are just other shows that have more of my interest, but I find it really hard to get through each episode lately.

Last episode didn't really do it for me. They had some cool camera stuff going on and tried to make it look more creepy, but the subject matter didn't really warrant it.

I also don't really like Mac all that much, so his family storyline (which was cheesy already) didn't matter to me at all.

And in another shocking twist, a former SHIELD agent is working against them. Whoopty doo. At this point it would be more of a surprise if a former agent ended up on their side.

It seemed like it picked up right where they cut in,though. I was ticked when they cut in
I wonder where they're headed with the whole "each inhuman has a purpose" angle.

That's where the preview stopped

Why hell did they not do the continuous scroll at the bottom of the screen like they have done for every other Tuesday election this cycle?

Whoever made the decision to force George Stephanopoulos on us all in the middle of a show is a dickhead.
