Because Hunter is a professional and wanted to actually hit Ward, not randomly spray bullets around the room. You can’t hit shit full auto.
Lash might be Andrew, but I doubt it. He can’t be Rosalind or any of her crew, because they just got there when Lash was on the rampage at the apartment.
I didn’t catch it in-show: What was the bit with the girl in the cell and the girl in the apartment? Twins? Duo Damsel? Astral projection?
On the plus side, at least they answered my question from last week about how Lash could get to the hospital without being seen.
They didn’t explain her in episode, but she’s Alisha, who appeared in the final 2 or 3 episodes last season. She can create real, physical, independent copies of herself, but they’re all still mentally linked. Trivia: The actress started on the show as Adrienne Palicki’s stunt double.
The fact that there were bloody bodies on floor in the convenience store makes me think Andrew is not Lash; since Lash used a blue light pulse flash to kill rather than blunt force or stabbing.
I started thinking there might be a Jemma/Lash connection, but couldn’t remember if Lash appeared before she got rescued or not. Maybe Jemma is Lash, she did start spewing anti-inhuman opinions last season, which may mean she wants to reopen the portal and bring more inhuman killers through.
Next week on Naked and Afraid…
I liked the episode, great action and comedy. “I think the conspiracy nut in you had a few too many lattes this morning.”
I think they made a huge mistake with Ward in Season 2, and now they have no idea what to do with him. Ward as a straight villain is irritating and rather tedious. I liked him best when he was walking the line, either as a brutal hero or a heroic villain. And there was something worthwhile in that, as he played different sides. And it’s very easy to see that in-story Coulson, and his team, made a huge mistake with Ward. They should either have turned him into a positive asset or just killed him. It’s not like Coulson is a stranger to working with traitors and murderers before.)
Unfortunately, I think they also wrote themselves into a corner with this group of SHIELD people, as they apparently get to do whatever they want. I mean, evil government agency - fine. But the “good guys” are just a pack of yahoos running around doing whatever they feel like. It’s not SHIELD anymore. They can’t have any official status (not even the “unofficial” official status. Coulson is building a superpowered team of operatives to do clandestine espionage work for whatever cause he feels like.
Actor Dwight Frye played Renfield in Dracula, Fritz in Frankenstein, and had a role in Bride of Frankenstein that largely stayed on the cutting-room floor. It’s his time of year.
Would you prefer Indo-European? Aryan, in this context, has been dirtied by the Nazis, but I am referring to the people who swept into Europe in the early Bronze Age, bringing genes for statuesque blondes and for the appreciation of same.
I’m really getting to like her, Hunter, and Mack as characters and actors. A spinoff, even one that had nothing to do with SHIELD and had only minor mayhem, could work.
He’s not just a lone wolf, he’s PSYCHO lone wolf. You’re right: not a leader of men able to develop and stick a longterm plan. I’m surprised he’s held it together this long.
They have to kill Ward this season. Either that or as Telemark suggested above, have Hydra taken away from him and then he can operate as a loose cannon, with a grudge against both groups.
Another question they have to answer is why the Inhumans feared the portal so much. It doesn’t seem like it would be a very effective weapon. Does it only snatch people with Inhuman DNA? If so, Simmons is going to be pissed. And how come she managed to come through months of terror on an alien world, get blasted into the center of a disintegrating monolith, and still have clean hair?
I don’t think Lash will turn out to be Rosalind (or any female) because they generally don’t allow females to walk around with their chests fully exposed on network television like Lash does.
I don’t think they’d do this, but it would be funny if he turned out to be one of the Patton Oswalds.
I don’t know. Marvel have long played it pretty vague on what SHIELD even is, and on whose authority it even operates.
Since bringing in the “Inhumans” (who are so far basically all what the comics sometimes call “Nuhumans”) his show, however, seems like the showrunners really, really want it to be something like the comic book X-Factor, with mutants popping up randomly and the heroes trying to protect them. Like, if Marvel had the X-Men rights, they’d be doing a lot of the same stories, just under the X-Men banner. Even at the beginning, there was some of this; but now it’s obvious that “Inhuman” is standing in for “mutant.”
That would be true if they were actually fighting mutants/inhumans/whatevers for the most part. But they principally seem to hang out fighting other covert agencies and Hydra. And the latter is little more than a gang of toughs with evil PR.
