When did Mack start calling Daisy “Tremors?” I love that. Mack also pretty much nailed exactly what Coulson was saying to Rosalind, but not her response. He’s still proving to be the voice of reason on the show. Does anyone follow the actors from this show on Twitter? They have a ridiculous amount of banter between the cast and also with fans. It’s the only show I watch so these are the only actors I follow; I have no idea if this is unusual or now. ---

If he is newly-transformed, then his mission to kill Inhumans, if due to some form of Inhuman Genetic Purity (IGP!), will need some explaining. If he part of some longstanding line, his aversion to mudbloods might be more explainable. Is that his motive in the comic books? Also, his ability to control his power - to adjust seemingly automatically - will also need explaining. Obviously it will cover his retreat from May if recent. If he is not newly-transformed, then his deception over years will have a lot of required explaining. Let’s see what they do with it. ---

> [@Push\_You\_Down](#): > > As for Powers Boothe–the show is treating him as though he’s the same character from the Avengers movie. I hope that he takes over and makes Ward an underling again which is wear he belongs. He’s a good number 2 bad guy, not a number 1. Yeah, I don’t see how he couldn’t be the WSC character, but that means Hydra was even more powerful than we thought - they had Powers Boothe, Robert Redford, and Garry Shandling - a clearly unstoppable trio. > [@Telemark](#): > > He was trying to kill Lincoln, who I assume was transformed the old fashioned way as well.

> [@Bryan\_Ekers](#): > > I’m holding out the vague hope that it’s not actually established that Andrew is Lash - we only have Strucker Junior’s word for it, after all. It could turn out Lash was near Andrew for some reason and stepped in to save him and Strucker only _thought_ they were the same person. As soon as Andrew and Daisy had their little therapy session half way through the episode, it became obvious that Andrew was Lash based on the things he said. So unless that whole conversation was a red herring, I’m pretty sure Strucker was telling the truth. ---

> [@muldoonthief](#): > > As regards Powers Boothe - is there some evidence from the episode that he’s playing the same character? Not that it makes sense for him to not be the same character, but we never did see his face in the movie, so they could be using the actor differently. The closed captioning called him Malick, so there’s that. ---

“If your girlfriend’s boyfriend is in Phoenix, you don’t buy him an airline ticket.” I think we had a thread about that. 😃 ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > Have we considered the possibility that Lash killed the original Andrew and took his form? That would get around the awful coincidence of the trusted SHIELD adviser being an evil Inhuman, who just happened to be married to a top agent. If Lash chose to impersonate Andrew so he could gain access to the intel I could buy that much more easily. He doesn’t even need to have killed Andrew, just held him captive somewhere. ---

I don’t get why there’s any debate about trying to get Will back however. He’s a fellow human trapped in a horrible, barely livable place. Phoenix is no paradise, but it is a lot nicer than planet Evil, so Hunter’s analogy sucks. Sure it may be impossible or cost prohibitive to get him back, but I don’t get why anyone would be opposed to researching it.
