I’m going to call them Adama and Charlie. And NOBODY CAN STOP ME!!! Muahahahahah!!!

Anyway - - - I don’t understand the problem New SHIELD has with Coulson? He has secrets? So? As a spy agency, shouldn’t they have secrets? What, specifically, do they expect to do differently? Be more forthcoming with the field agents? Perform mission live streaming on YouTube?
Well, somebody told him that haircut looks good on him…
Yeah, it’s totally unreasonable that there could be a covert group hiding within Shield. That’d never work.
It was too easy; they let him go. They probably planted a tracker on him so they can follow him back to the rebel base.
Not inject the director with alien DNA?
Ward even said to the actor playing Agent 33 playing the male GI, “The uniform’s a little big for you,” and s/he replied, “This was the shortest male I could find,” or something to that effect.
Then they should be fine with Coulson. He never did that.
Yeah, that’s what I was wondering. They want a more open and candid spy agency? And they are trying to achieve that by remaining hidden and sending undercover agents in? What? I think it means, they just don’t like it anyone kept secrets from them, but they can keep all the secrets they want.
That’s the problem I’m having. I can see why Gonzalez’ Shield might want to take over Coulson’s Shield and add it to its own organization - but why treat it as an enemy? Coulson’s team has been fighting Hydra, defending Earth from aliens, neutralizing superpowered villians, etc - why should the other Shield have a problem with this?
I think it would actually make for a more interesting story. If Gonzalez was just trying to take over Coulson’s group it wouldn’t be a clear threat - some of the members of the team might wonder if this was necessarily a bad idea. And this is true for us viewers as well. I think it might be good to see Coulson back as a team leader answering to somebody above rather than being the director of the whole organization.
It took me right to Buffybot…
Yeah, that makes no sense.
Also, how exactly was Coulson made the Director?
Other than by a “dead man” telling him he was?
Why not just tell Coulson that Gonzales is the Director, not him?
It also introduces an important theme. We have some who think aliens & superpowered people are acceptable and potentially helpful and useful, and on the other side we have those who see aliens and superpowered beings as a dangerous threat. We can only trash New York so many times before people complain and say “we must do something!”
The wife and I had to replay that scene since she was inspired to do her excellent Honeybunny impression, and I broke out in my abysmal acapella of Miserlou (I rock the air guitar, tho).
That would have been a pretty awesome moment for Fury to make a reappearance, even if that would have trashed the plot. Oh well.
The uniformed lieutenant (?) that Talbot cheek-pinched had noticeably large breasts that the male soldier did not, bulky clothes or no. And we got a good look at Mrs. Talbot’s hands to show the ring. They look a good deal older than Skye’s when she squeezed Ward’s shoulders from behind.
I mean, yeah, we know these are all different actors playing the same character. But it strains credulity quite a bit that no one would notice if her body didn’t match the face. (at the very least, it should have been something Talbot would have checked for the one female soldier in his lineup who was black. Hands not white? you’re legit.) Ming Na is stunningly well-preserved at 51. But there’s no way her hands look like 22 year old Chloe Bennet’s.
You might say that there could possibly be a civil war over this…
Tea and crumpets for everyone!
Who are you, Captain Britain?
They kind of had to make Talbot a buffoon, since he was in charge of rounding up all the SHIELD assets (as seen when they stole a Quinjet), but he somehow managed to miss an entire Helicarrier.
You mean, back to the base that SHIELD2 had already infiltrated with not one, but two agents? That’s right up there with an underpants gnomes plan.
I have a bad feeling about this…
Let the Cross Time Caper begin!
Use your imagination. You can imagine quite a bit.
Sounds more like Inspector Spacetime to me.
