Enver Gjokaj has impressed me on his previous shows. In fact, I might go so far as to say that he has the potential to compete for being at least the best male actor on the show. I fear that he will win this competition by default because the other competitor cannot be bothered to show up.
Elena: Only Simmons cares that much about stuff like that.
It seems to me that Mack should have been more interested in S.H.I.E.L.D. tech as well. I also have this vague memory of someone else who used to get excited about technology. I am blanking on the name. I do not think that it is Piper or Snowflake or Benson or Diaz or Flint. Maybe I am just imagining someone.
More seriously, I noticed that, when Elena made that statement, Elizabeth Henstridge gave a facial expression suggesting that her character could think of someone else who cared that much about technology.
Lol, seriously, at this point one starts to wish for Simmons to pull a Daenerys Targaryen and go all:
"Sooner or later, humans will kill all the Aen Seidhe. All dwarves and gnomes. Then they'll start murdering one another. Your kind knows no other way. It's in your genes. You keep killing each other until only one remains. The strongest among you. A thousand years from now, a dim-witted human barbarian will climb to the top of a pile of bones, sit down and proclaim: "I win"."

Seriously! WHERE IS HE!? (I know the actor was filming something else at the time).
I just noticed that the thumbnail for episode 4 on imdb shows Coulson underwater in the pool from the end of the ep, basically spoiling the entire "twist" there. Great job, people, really great job!

And yes! Mack comes to his senses, and is going to save Sousa. A little subterfuge, and Coulson gets to say this line: Coulson: Turns out being an LMD has it's perks, like taking two in the back without a fuss. lol... I wonder if Jemma can fix Sousa's limp...
Just wanted to point out that it's more than a limp, he's actually missing a leg. Sounds more like a job for Fitz rather than Simmons to me!

So all we know for sure (I didn't watch the sneak peek for next week - that rhymes!) is that they're in 1972 OR LATER. As they were ending episode 4 I was wondering if someone (Coulson probably) would have a line for Sousa along the lines of "sometimes we find an oldies station first so we always check a few".
Even without seeing the promo for the next episode, I will assume that it will take place in the early 1970s and reference a genre like blacksploitation films, disaster films, or gritty urban dramas. However, it would be funny if the team dressed in 1970s era clothes, perhaps exaggerated, only to find that this time they did tune into an oldies station.

Yep, they should definitely check out a few stations first. Though I would absolutely appreciate some outfits along these lines:

You weren't far off. I'm loving what they're doing with the title sequences/intros and the nods to comic history. Those old SHIELD jumpsuits were awesome.
Jemma Simmons: Yeah, that was adorable... and exactly what I'd expect.

ayanami: Gotta say, given AoS's track record, and the amount of BS they put Fitzsimmons through over the seasons, I'm really really glad the two got a happy ending in the finale after all!
Apr 28, 2024 21:48:20 GMT
Jemma Simmons: I seem to recall a running gag in the writers' room where they had all of the characters' faces on a dart board and joked that this was how they decided who stayed and who went...
Apr 28, 2024 21:49:03 GMT
Jemma Simmons: Oh absolutely! And usually when shows go in that direction it's because they have run out of storyline. Fortunately that wasn't the case here.
Apr 28, 2024 21:49:47 GMT
Jemma Simmons: Like... that's usually the death knell of a show when they try to throw characters together. But that was something that was pretty obviously going to happen from S1, so....
Apr 28, 2024 21:50:16 GMT
ayanami: Honestly though, I think they overdid it with ripping Fitzsimmons apart over and over again. The show really had enough going plot-wise to survive two characters being happy with each other on occasion!
Apr 28, 2024 21:52:50 GMT
ayanami: Knowing it's all gonna work out is definitely helpful moving forward in that regard. Helps one to move past any astronaut chenannigans, for example.
Apr 28, 2024 21:54:23 GMT
Jemma Simmons: Definitely. I mean, especially when we got into the "future" storyline in like S5.
Apr 28, 2024 21:54:38 GMT
ayanami: Or, you know, the Fitz dying part.
Apr 28, 2024 21:55:20 GMT
ayanami: Or the Fitz being an evil nazi part.
Apr 28, 2024 21:55:46 GMT
ayanami: Or the Fitz being a total asshat to his grandson for no reason part!!!
Apr 28, 2024 21:56:09 GMT
Jemma Simmons: Hahahah! Yeah, all of that!
Apr 28, 2024 21:56:53 GMT
Jemma Simmons: I keep holding out hope that we might see some of the cast make a cameo in one of the upcoming movies. The farther out from the series we get though, the less likely that is.
Apr 28, 2024 21:57:45 GMT
Jemma Simmons: And there is also the fact that the Marvel Universe proper would like to erase this series from existence.
Apr 28, 2024 21:58:13 GMT
ayanami: Well, we're approaching midnight here and I gotta get up pretty early tomorrow, so I'm gonna have to call it a night now.
Apr 28, 2024 21:58:30 GMT
ayanami: Yeah, that would have been really cool to see. Though, truth be told, the Marvel universe proper has produced so many stinkers by now, that we might as well reboot the whole bunch and move everything back onto one timeline.
Apr 28, 2024 21:59:37 GMT
Jemma Simmons: Alrighty! You have a great week!
Apr 28, 2024 21:59:38 GMT
ayanami: Yeah, you too! See you around, bosslady! (And I'm glad you're back from your vacation. I hear Maveth is just TERRIBLE this time of year! )
