That’s a reasonable assumption, but that hasn’t been explicitly stated yet. The description of the destruction of Chronyca-2 “minor distortions in the fabric of space that released a plague…the effect spread rapidly consuming our planet” doesn’t really match Sarge’s description of what the Shrikes do.
Up until Sarge’s team showed up, SHIELD was tracking distortions in space-time (when the Shrike were coming through).
Ah, you’re right, I forgot that. Yeah, that’s really the only reasonable assumption now. So will it turn out that Fitz/Evil Fitz is the Creator?
ETA: Wait, were the Shrike coming through them, or Sarge and his team? Or both?
Both. In the first episode Mack mentions they had been tracking the disturbances for some time (a few weeks maybe?) before Sarge and crew showed up. Then on the basketball court, the Shrike come through followed by the big guy and concrete boy. I’m assuming that the Shrike create the portals and Sarge’s team just follows them through.
Ah, thanks. I forgot that a Shrike came through before the huge guy.
Early in the first season.
Well, like I said, they were never really the bad guys. However, public perception has changed over the seasons. They’ve been viewed as good guys to bad guys to the public not knowing they exist and back again. Current view is that they are a known entity and they are the good guys.
OK, thanks!
Finally caught up. Enjoying this season so far. The reveals of the most recent episode have me even more interested.
My wife and I buy each season of this when it drops on Vudu so we don’t have to watch the commercials. We are stuck at thia this thing though:
Warning: spoiler possible…
Why doesn’t Enoch tell the crinkle haired lady how HE pulled off time travel? The whole space future thing in Season 5 was his doing in the first place. Right? What are we missing?
My WAG: all Enoch did was send people *forward *through time, which doesn’t violate causality. Sending people *back *through time is a completely different issue.
I was watching this without my glasses. Can anyone tell me what was in the story book and it’s title?
Also the make out joke was telegraphed from about ten kilometers away.
It was a story about Simmons search for Fitz. When he closed it the book was the Darkhold.
True - but it was still funny.
Yep - the evil book that created so much trouble a few seasons back.
I enjoyed this episode quite a bit.
Hopefully back on Earth they’ll resolve the “we’ve got two groups fighting each other who have plenty of reason to be working together instead” issue fairly quickly.
I liked how (Ringu)Simmons had traces of gold on her forehead, as a reminder of her nightmarish Kree slave days.
Didn’t catch that. Cool.
Standing O for the actors playing Fitz and Simmons in that one. One of my favorite episodes of the series.
I like how Fitz decided that mentioning Aida would bring back Simmons to the adult version of herself. I thought that was funny.
So the end of Enoch, and FitzSimmons will be back on Earth soon? I think the show is about to take a turn downhill.
And the utter stupidity of putting both Shrikers in the same isolation module was just terrible writing. Especially since earlier in the episode they stated that the two targets were traveling towards each other. Why would you put them in the same room?
Does anyone think that A-Hole Coulson (as the wife puts it) will be a permanent thing, or does he get somehow made back into The Original Coulsen by seasons end?
