As near as anyone can figure, based on what I’ve read, the answer is…we have no idea. It doesn’t appear to have any analog in the comics and it can’t be gravitonium. ---

(Let’s keep in mind that not everyone has seen Ultron yet, so it’s probably best to keep plot points from the movie spoiled. ) The bastards did spoil one thing for me. “The world didn’t end last week.” Now what’s the point of seeing _Ultron_? The whole movie is spoiled for me. :mad: ---

> [@Uncle\_Jocko](#): > > Are we certain Son of Coul wouldn’t have survived? He’s got Kree blood in him, you know. Plus, he died once already (cue the Monty Python “I got better” voice). Whatshisname Kree from Warehouse 13 already said that Terrigenesis was a failure for the Kree (and everyone else they tried it on, but the Inhumans). So having a Kree booster shot is, if anything, going to make him _less_ likely to survive. (although, it obviously did no harm for Skye.) ---

Good news/Bad news - AoS and Agent Carter have both been renewed for next year, but the spin-off featuring Mockingbird and Hunter has been killed. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > Good news/Bad news - AoS and Agent Carter have both been renewed for next year, but the spin-off featuring Mockingbird and Hunter has been killed. I’d call that good news/good news. CW is already doing the best it can to dilute their brand; ABC shouldn’t make the same mistake. Make those two series regulars ( 🆒 and take the time away from Skye 🆒 ) ---

Make those two series regulars ( 🆒 and take the time away from Skye 🆒 ) I agree. But honestly, how about a _Skye and the Inhumans_ spin off? I’d stop bitching, Skye lovers would get even more, it’s a win-win.:p:D ---

So are Hunter and Bobbi gonna be written off? Mack has been from the looks of it. ---

I hope not, I don’t want them to leave the show. If they’ve been written out, they better get written back in quick! ---

Another continuity point: Did anyone else notice that Raina’s jacket/top was black with extremely dark red roses on it? I saw that and thought, “Oh, she’s going back to her old ways.” ---

Hunter and Bobbi are still in the mix. If the new show had been picked up, they would have departed at the start of next season. As it is, they are still with the team. Mack is still on the carrier, remember? He said he would return there to wait out whatever happens next. Who knows, maybe he saves the day somehow? ---

No, Mack said he’d only return to the carrier to pack his bags. That he wouldn’t stay in SHIELD if Coulson was Director. Though if “one SHIELD” breaks down now that Adama is toast, there may end up being 2 SHIELDS after all, leading up to Civil War. ---

Though if “one SHIELD” breaks down now that Adama is toast, there may end up being 2 SHIELDS after all, leading up to Civil War. I don’t know if Mac the actor is off the show or they’re up to something. He’s a cool guy when he’s not being jerky. You’re right he’s only going back to the carrier to get his personal things. Then… get recruited by a different agency? SWORD perhaps? Something else? ---

Or maybe he gets sucked into the attack on Afterlife, drafted if need be, and bites it saving Coulson from Gordon or some other Inhuman who gets the drop on him. Then Coulson can bring him back to life with Kree-ish blood. Mack then repents his sins and goes off to found the Skye Fan Club. ---

Where are they going to get Kree-ish blood? Hey, bring back Kree Guy! He’s cool. Maybe Mac is Inhuman. Jaiying can hit him with a crystal. “Hope you’re one of us.” Surprise, I am and I don’t like you. ---
