It's Bruce Banner.

if this show just introduced the Infinity formula then it's a huge step forward in the MCU.

The show is strongly suggesting that Koenig is a LMD, but I wonder if they'll ever come out and say it?

My biggest question-How did Coulson maintain the custody of Ward? If I remember correctly, somebody besides Coulson's his team took him into custody.

Second biggest question- Coulson when talking about recruitment of new/former SHIELD agents to the new SHIELD mentioned traitors, detainees and the sellouts in the private sector. Well if the private sector former Agents are sellouts, that would include Maria Hill, right? Since she is shown at Stark Industries at the end of TWS and declaring SHIELD dead at the tail end of last year. So if Hill is out, presumably Stark Industries is out, which is why I wonder: Who the hell is financing this whole operation if it isn't Stark Industries?

Third biggest question-again the scene in Coulson's office, the map he pulls up possible allies (including the ones in the England), is the same map later shown when they are seeing white noise Hydra message activate the sleeper agents. So besides wondering which agents are where and if Wakanda and other known places and characters are represented.Did they just reveal a hit list for the team to work on?

and one more question(for now)- the Hydra guy talking both to Absorbing Man and later Hydra leader Whitehall(the guy who maybe has the Infinity Formula in him, who will forever be Det. Terry Crowley-the first guy Vic Mackey killed on The Shield,coincidentally enough) was English, what are the odds this guy was the english ally Coulson (thought) he recruited to the effort?


This was very strong start to Season 2.

Captain Britain is Brian Braddock. His older brother Jamie and his sister Psylocke are mutants. Brian gets his powers from magic stuff and it's old comic debate if he is a mutant or not. I don't consider him one and I think Marvel holds his rights, but Marvel and Fox share Quicksilver and SW, so I'm sure CB would at least be partially owned by Marvel.

I don't know. I'd be pretty surprised if they brought Lawless on, only to kill her off in the first episode.

Would be worth it if they brought her husband, Batiatus, in to avenge her.

But Lawless, whose fierce Isabelle Hartley took the show by storm Tuesday, has says she may pop up in future episodes or other Marvel properties.

"It's whatever the writers want to write. All things are possible in SHIELD," Lawless tells The Hollywood Reporter. "That's what I love in this sci-fi comic world. There are no absolutes. There are no bottom lines. Every boundary is bendable."

Did anybody else notice the blue alien from TAHITI project in the crate during one of the WW2 flashbacks?

Near the end of the flashback. They were packing up all the stuff from the bunker and Dugan went to open a large crate and you could see the alien's blue arm before Agent Carter slammed it shut.

Purely guessing, but it may be the Forever Crystal.

It definitely looked similar to the Forever Crystal from the comics:

My guess: With everything SHIELD having gone to shite, Coulson & crew snatched Ward back from the authorities.

It may well be Stark. It might also be that they had millions upon millions (if not billions) squirrled away in various hidden accounts that only Fury knew about and that was part of the info he gave to Coulson.

There we so many points that while some will end up being story locations, others were there just for filler. Making episodes for each site would take us well into two seasons from now.

Interesting theory. Could possibly be or it could just be that Whitehall adopted an English accent to hide from people looking to kill former Nazi authorities. Or maybe it's both?



Solid episode last night, didn't see the Fitz-Simmons thing coming. Well played.

The blue alien in the box was probably a Kree. The box was seen in the warehouse while the team was there.

Absorbing Man. I had no idea which way they were going with that guy until he absorbed the properties of that gem. I nerdgasmed. Hard.

I like this version of Skye better, less whiney emotiony stuff. Looking forward to more of she and Ward's chats.

I'd say this is highly likely.
