S5:E12 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “The Real Deal.” We're back after another long delay, and this was recorded several months ago, so we're a bit out of date with our "current events" references. We got into some wild digressions, starting with some‪ Star Wars talk circa the Mandalorian's second season where we complain a bit about Filoni, because he's kind of awful, and gush a bit over Taika Waititi, because he's freaking great. Jess talks about how even Billy (boyfriend of the pod) gets sick of Filoni's nonsense sometimes, and we compare and contrast Filoni and Waititi's relative weakness and strength at subverting problematic tropes. We then get into the episode of S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. we're covering, the 100th episode! The episode title gets some guff. We left off with Noah, the mediocre Chronicom, saving the day by sacrificing himself for the team, and catch up with found footage of Andrew/Lash, apparently back from the dead. This sets up the "best of villains" episode in a unique way, without relying on a clip show formula. Fitz shows Coulson and May the drone footage showing them what appears to be the outdoors inside the base, and hypothesizes that the monoliths' destruction opened a portal to another dimension. Mack tells Yo-yo he'd leave S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. if she wanted to, but she insists they have to stay.  Daisy and Deke search the store rooms and Deke attempts to bond with Daisy, which she rebuffs. This is one of many examples of Deke's personality solidifying into the character he will become, the annoying kid brother of the team's "family." Jess calls out some of Daisy and Coulson's similarities as empaths, and we enjoy that Deke and Daisy's eventual relationship is just a friendly/familial one, and that they backed off any attempt at a contrived and predictable attempt at romance. A Kree warrior shows up and attacks them in the middle of their storeroom run. They dispatch him and regroup with the team, where after taking the Kree warrior into consideration, looking at the footage of Lash, and identifying Deke's fear of the open wilderness (hence the forest/outdoor level) Fitz dubs the dimension they've accessed "the fear dimension," naturally. Fitz mentions a potential sacrifice and looks to Deke, who gets very defensive, but he meant he needed his anti-gravity belt. Coulson volunteers, Fitz suggests Piper go to redeem herself, and everyone argues with them. Daisy says she'll go, but Coulson insists she needs to stay to lead, and she argues that they're so broken, there isn't even a S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. left to lead. Deke is sent out by Coulson for supplies and is uncharacteristically grumpy when he tells him to go, reminding him not to get arrested this time. Coulson joins the rest of the team and Jemma explains that the necrotic tissue has grown to Coulson's lungs and heart, and that his condition is terminal. He's known since they last saw Ghost Rider, having given up whatever Project T.A.H.‪‪I.T.‪‪I. had done to him to bring him back in return for hosting the Rider. Coulson is frustrated, having never had any agency when it came to his own life, but the team, and Daisy in particular, are exceptionally hurt. Yo-yo wakes up to a sadistic Jemma channeling Nurse Ratched who tells Yo-yo to give up and let Mack leave her, gaslighting all Twilight Zone style her before trying to smother her. She's stopped by Mack who reveals she's an LMD, and the real Jemma comes in and sees what's going on. We think it was Mack's fear, and we realize we never see Yo-yo's own fear manifestation. Deke is outside and sees General Hale's troops have invaded the town looking for them, and gets anxious. He ends up in a funny disguise where he looks like a time traveller from 30 years in the past instead of the future, in a baseball cap, carrying a red, white, and blue bomb-pop and a Zima. May and Coulson have a heart to heart, and talk about him hiding his dying from her, and his pushing the team away, denying what they really mean to each other. Fitz prepares Coulson to seal the portal, and Coulson gives a speech that's somewhat problematic about how S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. is an important symbol, and it reflects the issues with patriotic idealization of an inherently corrupt system that was founded on oppression. We go on a bit of a digression discussing what it means in terms of copaganda from the show, and also the deeper levels in which the character of Phil Coulson's words are meant to ring hollow, and are somewhat betrayed by the denial of his current situation. And we discuss how voting is such a frustration situation, because it's one of the most effective ways to create change, but it also requires participation from those being oppressed in the very system that works against them. In the basement, getting ready to destroy the fear dimension portal, Coulson encounters Mike Peterson, Deathlok, the character he tried to save in the first episode of S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D., but he appears as his pre-cyborg/pre-Deathlok self, and tries to convince Coulson that none of what was happening was real. This is Coulson's fear, that he's never come back from the dead, and the entire series of Agents of S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. has been what's happening to him on the operating table, and that it was him trying to live out his fanboy dream life as they experimented on his brain at the brink of life and death. The fake Mike Peterson makes Coulson begin to doubt his reality, and question his very existence. Daisy and Fitz argue about what to do, and she puts him in his place, calling him Leopold, and May tells them both to shut up. And this makes Jared tell a pretty ridiculous story involving his dad walking in on his brother...in the middle of something. Coulson tries to ignore the fake Mike's attempts to discredit his life when a Quinjet arrives. Having been called by Deke, the Quinjet brought the real Mike Peterson/Deathlok, along with a team of what's left of S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. there as reinforcements. Deathlok shoots the fake Mike, and as Coulson activates the device a gravity well starts to absorb the fear dimension rift when a bunch of villains show up to to stop them, like the Vrellnexians and Hive. It's a bunch of chaos as they fight off the villains and are pulled toward the gravity well when the plan is successful, and the smoke clears with Coulson in Deathlok's arms, asking for assurance from Mike that he was real. Still at the local police station Hale wonders who Deke might be before leaving after words of a Daisy sighting is reported, having been sent a tip by Deke to get them off the trail. Coulson, Fitz and Deke are on the elevator at the base, and Coulson and Fitz talk about Deathlok saving the day, which Deke thinks is about him. On the weird forest floor (which like, should've disappeared with the villains, right?), the elevator opens where Fitz walks out, dressed up all nice, for his and Jemma's wedding (*squee*)!! It's super sweet, and the two of them finally get a little bit of a break. Us viewers find out that Deke is their grandkid right as Deke and Mike Peterson discuss what side they should be on, and Deke punctuates his family reveal by saying he doesn't really know either of them, and cements the goofball character Deke was always meant to be.

Ep 103 - Assembling for Avengers: WandaVision Bonus Episode - Jess and Jared look at the first Marvel show on Disney+, WandaVision! We look at how it connects this new era of the MCU to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Marvel television, and some thoughts on the dangers of fan expectations, the future of Marvel TV on Disney+. And we talk about grief. And Agatha. And Monica. We get into the meat of the story, comics connections and differences, Agents of S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. connections, Hayward, and Wanda's status as a complex character who's not purely heroic, but not a villain. We also discuss the appearance of the Darkhold and the obvious lack of followthrough from some S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. viewers who are just now questioning its canonicity in the greater MCU. We discuss the twins, and their inevitable future as MCU Young Avengers. We discuss of the grief process in WandaVision vs. the MCU films, and the benefit that the show's format gives their examination of loss, and what it means to move on. WandaVision was able to go more into depth about what enduring the grief process feels like, and came at a time where the entire world is plagued with an epidemic putting us all in a grief-filled existence. Plus: We want a Jimmy Woo show with Darcy! Give us Jimmy Woo: Agent of S.W.O.R.D.! And Jimmy and Coulson are our Marvel TV dads, and we love them! And Jared is convinced that we're getting Young Avengers soon! We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

S5:E11 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “All the Comforts of Home." In our first episode of the season back in the present we meet our "favorite character," Ruby, and we begin by reexamining some of our initial reactions and feelings about the character and what she represents. With the benefit of time and consideration Jess repositions Ruby's writing, and sees how it was more thoughtfully, and well written character than we had originally understood her to be, and that there is a meta commentary there, about how adolescent women are demonized and demeaned across all areas of our culture. We open on Ruby, a "stereotypical" teenage girl in a stereotypical teenager's room, covered in posters, listening to pop music with headphones on her bed laying the wrong way on her bed with her feet in the air. We soon meet her mom, who Ruby quickly confronts, demanding to know if she's a good guy, or a bad guy, and saying that since they're going after S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. that she wonders if they're not the bad guys. Her mom, General Hale, tells her that she just follows her orders, and that everything she does is for Ruby, though Ruby incorrectly predicted she'd say everything she did was for the greater good. Here is where we learn about their weird mother-daughter relationship, and that Ruby is obsessed with Daisy Johnson AKA Quake. But more importantly, the team! Our favorite S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. Agents have returned from the future to the present day Lighthouse. They show up disoriented in different waves and gather together and Fitz confirms that despite their familiar location, they had made it back to their home time period. ‪‪A hologram of an old school S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. Director, Rick Stoner, played perfectly by Patrick Warburton, appears to give the rundown to the team via an outdated pre-recorded message. The base was top-secret base designed for a post-apocalyptic situation to help repopulate the Earth, so, exactly what it ended up being used for in the future. Coulson mentioned how injured Mack had gotten, and Yo-Yo turns it back on him and he brushes his injuries off, but she knows what Coulson isn't telling the rest of the team about his own dark, crazy future sci-fi poison-filled wound. Yo-Yo, Mack and Jemma leave to get Mack medical attention and Coulson sends May to take the tour with hologram Rick Stoner, and she drags Fitz along. Daisy comes to furious with Coulson for using an Icer and taking her back to the past against her consent, and though she doesn't forgive him exactly, she understands his decision. Fitz and May are going through a storeroom and find all three monoliths, and a douche-bro Chronicom who was in the AWFUL Paris Hilton vehicle "The Hottie & the Nottie," Noah. Noah is the anti-Enoch, and is a dismissive, self-important robo-twit. He tells them that everyone with knowledge of the bunker is inside the bunker, and assures them that they're safe. May has a very cheesy "small but active fan base" line that is super meta, and made us chuckle. Jess noted that a lot of aspects of this season make us sure that they'd intended, or rather believed, it would be the final season of the show.‪ In the Lighthouse's monitor room they note "potential alien contact," that will lead to the end of the world, and there's a pretty by the numbers UFO-looking flying saucer in space on its way. They need to go check it out in St. Louis, and are still wanted for the crimes that AIDA and Ivanov framed them for. They show that they're outside this small town of River's End in the Lighthouse. When the team leaves the Lighthouse and has to steal a van Mack ‪‪is mortified, and May, and even Yo-Yo, are a bit annoyed with how strait-laced he is, though Jemma finds it wonderful. Daisy gets more comfortable with the computer room in the Lighthouse than Noah seems to appreciate, getting under the Chronicom's skin. Noah ‪‪is a dick, and he's ineffective, but he's not actually against the team, he's just really bad at helping them. The team goes through all the bad things they've lived through before to assure themselves. As a River's End cop shows up Fitz seems almost ready to shoot him, which is super dark and messed up, but Mack diffuses the situation. At this point Deke shows up suddenly outdoors and falls in love with being outside, and hugs a tree. An old white lady of River's End thinks Deke is high off his ass, but she's also pretty cool about it. Deke is super good at being a silly in this scene, and almost ate ice cream out of a trash can, until he sees a dive bar and discovers that he doesn't love beer, but he *does* love Zima! Deke has a fantastic time in the bar, eating cheeseburgers and onion rings, and drinking more and more Zimas. Deke tries to run out on his tab but is too drunk, and flips over a pool table. The team leaves the van on the side of road to be returned to owner and gets to the Zephyr so that they can get to St. Louis. Jemma figures out it's not from space, but the light came up *from* Earth, Hydra's way of calling the Kree to Earth. Yo-Yo and Mack are in the cargo hold and Yo-Yo is still more worried about the time loop than anything else. Daisy's gamer-ing it up, with her feet up on the computer eating cereal from the box, and Noah is so uptight he mentioned that everyone knows that Enoch was always reckless. Deke has showed up on police records and Daisy has to get him, so she dresses up in Noah's suit to go incognito to the River's End police station. The Zephyr arrives with the rest of the team in St. Louis where Fitz says he detects someone inside, and in the lab Piper is there, saying she was laying low waiting for them. We had forgotten about Piper being turned against the team in this episode, and though it's justified, it's also something neither of us care for. Jess's Billy has a connection to Piper's actor, Briana Venskus, as part of the L.A. motorcycle community. Daisy comes to the police station to get Deke and seems a little out of practice, and one of the cops seems to ‪‪I.D. her, and makes a call that gets word of Daisy to General Hale. Daisy gives Deke a hard time for getting arrested immediately, but he's too drunk, and too happy about being in a non-post-apocalyptic future stuck inside the Lighthouse in the cold of space, and he wants to know if she knows about Zima. Back in St. Louis we see that Piper's beacon was actually meant to call Hale's people, and Ruby is there in a mask with a team of robot drones, and Piper was tricked by Hale into turning on the team thinking she was helping them, and without a lot of options. Piper explains what she thinks the deal is, that they're bringing the team in to keep them safe, but Ruby orders the robot goons to attack, and uses the same weapon as Xena, a chakram, to attack the team themselves. This makes Jared go on a little Xena rant about the absurdity/insanity of Xena, but as Jess points out, Xena's Lucy Lawless is a S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. vet! In the violence Ruby uses the aforementioned chakram to cut off both of Yo-Yo's arms, and it's gruesome, and not good. May and Mack go berserk on the robots before they even seem to know they're robots, but they *really* lose it after that, with their past histories with robots giving them some serious anti-robot prejudice. The Xena connection re-contextualizes the violence we've seen in sword and sorcery and fantasy fiction, and makes one think of the trauma victims of dismemberment must endure. Daisy and Deke get back to the Lighthouse and meet up with Noah, who promptly tells Deke he didn't think they should rescue him. Deke really comes into his own here, coming out of the John Cusack movie entitled nerdy straight white dude protagonist place he'd started from and firmly establishing himself as the comic sidekick, and excelling. Jeff Ward does very well with his comedic timing and rapport with Chloe, and this is where we fell for the character. They avoided a lot of problematic relationship tropes by changing the character's focus from a wannabe space badass with an unrequited love for Daisy, to comic relief doofus just reasonably crushing on Daisy, or from the show's Star-Lord, to Kramer. And total non sequitur, but they offered the part of Superman from Superman the Motion Picture to Burt Reynolds, which is nuts. We get a rad visual from the Lighthouse's docking bay, with a platform emerging from the water on the coast next to the Lighthouse with a waterfall on each side, and it makes Jared think of Disney's Gummi Bears, because he's who he is. We talk a bit about what S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. says about law enforcement and its greater failures. We appreciate that they don't make their "super cops" out to be infallible, even though it isn't perfect, and are critical of law enforcement agencies in general. We get a "reveal" of Ruby's identity, and of her room being in the bottom of this big ol' military bunker. Back at the base Fitz, Daisy and Noah are trying to turn the beacon off, but it begins to overload and he warns them to run and jumps on the beacon to absorb the blast, sacrificing himself for the team, and redeeming his douchebag nature. In the closing scene Crusher Creel is running with a hoodie on in Philadelphia and an unmarked black car pulls up with Hale to recruit him to her cause, and though he's suspicious, he's resigned to his fate and gets in the car.

S5:E10 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Past Life." We begin with a discussion of some when-it-was-recorded Agents of S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. news, referring to post-series finale interviews with Mo and Jed, and Brett Dalton, and Elizabeth Henstridge's episode by episode watch-along with fans! We found out why Ivanov sucked so bad...well, another reason, with a connection to the upcoming Hulu Marvel animated show, MODOK starring AoS's own Agent Koenig, Patton Oswalt. We get into a little about how rewatch nostalgia for older shows is rough, because stuff does not always age well, and oftentimes we can see how much stuff tended to be very problematic with the benefit of our current perspectives. The Zephyr arrives at the Lighthouse for Kasius to discover Sinara's lifeless, impaled body. Sinara's character was fridged, and the vast potential that her character was given was never given a chance to be fulfilled. The S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. team was prepared, and fled the Zephyr to the containment pod, leaving only Enoch on the ship to protect half of the Monolith, and the portal (don't call it a time machine) device, ready to rendezvous with the team when they return with Flint. Mack, Yo-Yo, Flint and Tess are waiting for the rest of the team to return on the Lighthouse, but Yo-Yo remembers when she was revived, and the cries of pain she heard from other Inhumans being tortured nearby. They all have their role to play, planning to save the other Inhumans from being exploited by Kasius, with the others helping get Flint the rocks he needs and to where he needs to go, and back to Enoch and portal with the team. Yo-Yo tells Flint to take care of the big guy, asking him to watch out for Mack on her behalf. Kasius has gone totally delusional about Sinara's death, disconnecting from reality, and reacting to the Kree doctor's explanation that he couldn't use the same process he uses on humans and Inhumans to resurrect her by executing the doctor immediately. Jared poses the question..."can an eternal be murderable?" and "is 'murderable' a word?" With the last of Robin's drawings recovered by his men Kasius figures out that S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. team was going to use the Monolith to return back to the past, and the Inhumans' trainer take Odium and go be a berzerker and die for Kasius. While this is going on Mack and Flint are bonding, with Mack talking about looking forward to getting to ride his bike, referring to his motorcycle, and Flint asks him if that isn't what little kids ride. Mack vehemently defends motorcycles as rockets with two wheels, and not at all childish, and it's a very cute scene. He tells Flint he'd be welcome to come back to the past with them, but Flint doesn't want to leave his time. Fitz and Simmons show up with the rest of the Monolith rock The rest of the team are rescuing Inhumans, and taking out the Kree to help the surviving humans, and May and Deke have an exchange about guns being something that need to be regulated, in a very true, if not obvious, reference to real life gun control, and the lack thereof in the U.S.. The Inhuman trainer comes for Daisy on Odium, and despite being shot at by Coulson continues to come for her for a moment, he turns his attention to Coulson, slamming him against the wall and distracting him long enough for Daisy to get something to stab him with. With the Odium-enhanced trainer taken out Daisy notices Coulson clutching his chest, his shirt ripped open, but denying that he was wounded, and insisting it was merely a wardrobe malfunction. Tess and Deke are reunited, and they discuss how they appreciate each other's friendship more since she died and was resurrected. Coulson sees her struggling with the adjustment to life after death, and mentors her a bit, telling her its all worth it to be able to help those in need. We still don't like that she was killed for the development of Flint and Deke, and even bringing her back doesn't make it less gross and problematic. Kasius is talking to Sinara, despite her being really dead still, and has gone full on bananas. He intends to bring glory to his family, and looks and sounds like someone totally deranged at this point, with nothing connecting him to reality, and intends to go out in a blaze of glory with odium. We find his other Inhuman seer, and it's Yo-Yo! We were way off with how long she would be around, but this older, alternate timeline Yo-Yo meets our Yo-Yo, to explain that she has been brought back from the dead over and over again by the Kree, killed and resurrected repeatedly, tortured, and used her for information, and to harvest her DNA. The older Yo-Yo explains that she's been trapped in a time loop, and that they've gone through this conversation more than once before, and that they will not be able to stop the loop. Meanwhile, Enoch calls the team requesting for help, and Deke volunteers, dismissing Daisy's intention to help, telling her that she needs to be ready to return to the past. Deke tells her to stop being so ready to die for people there, and that she is actually meant to be a hero to save people in the past. They say goodbye, and this is where he falls for her. At this point Jemma has gone from anti-Inhuman bigot to Inhuman power expert, and coach. She talks Flint through how to feel out and sense rocks with his powers, and understand and use his abilities. During their conversation Fitz was setting up a decapitation wire behind them to behead the crew of Kree soldiers coming after them, and it was horrific, and kind of awesome. Fitz was being practical, not monstrous, at least, not intentionally so. Nevertheless, Jemma is understandably disturbed, as it recalls his time as a Nazi dude in the Framework. Back to the Yo-Yos, where the older Yo-Yo tells us how she was upset she couldn't change Coulson's choices. Daisy tells Coulson and May she won't come back to the past, and that it can help prevent the Earth's destruction. He ignores her wishes, hitting her with an icer and knocking her out. While this is happening we hear older Yo-Yo tell our Yo-Yo that Coulson is dying, and they need to let him, and close the loop. This is where we get Yo-Yo's problematic arm loss reveal. We don't have the expertise or bandwidth to speak on it with authority, but it felt somewhat sensationalized and ableist, if not exploitive, and above all, it seems unnecessary, and done with no consideration to members of the amputee community, and in a very gross way puts another Woman of Color in the series through significant trauma for entertainment purposes. Fitz gives Flint Deke's Star Lord-esque helmet to gather more rocks in space to make up for missing components of the monolith. A bunch of scenes converge, with Coulson carrying Daisy's unconscious body, the Kree attacking Enoch, and Kasius going in to the older Yo-Yo's cell to get something from her, Kree going through Kasius's throne room as Flint bursts through from outside with rocks, sending the Kree flying out into cold space and their deaths. Deke shows up to help, and asks if they should fix Enoch, but Enoch insists their time is better spent fixing the portal device, damaged in the fight with Kree. Flint is looking around him at the rocks he's controlling and all that he's just done, and the rest of the team arrives without Yo-Yo, and Mack notices Fitz mention his fiancée and he gives his good buddy a hard time, and then realizes that Yo-Yo is missing. He goes after her while Daisy meets Flint and‪‪ they have a sweet introduction, and May encourages Flint to go ahead and save the day, showing a sweet and motherly vibe in the way that May would/does. Flint's sand/rock power effects look pretty cool, and make use of some of the style or technology they used for Ward/Hive's powers (total aside, but Ward/Hive's mind control squid powers reminded Jared of Jarro, the Starfish Wonder in recent DC comics, who is amazing). Also, Jared was aghast to learn that lots of people thought that Billy Zane was the Mummy in the Mummy, and he was *not*. And Jess realized that she needed to watch Doom Patrol, because Brendan Fraser is a sad robot daddy, and it's great, and insane! Tim Dalton is great in it, and Diane Guerrero is also amazing in Doom Patrol, and Jess recommends Diane Guerrero's book In the Country We Love: My Family, so check that out! But getting back to S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D., Mack hears Yo-Yo's screams, but it's the older Yo-Yo in a trap laid by Kasius in the arena. After slitting Yo-Yo's throat violently he goes after Mack all 'roided out on Odium. Mack smacks Kasius with his shotgun axe, and then shoots the Kree guards and Kasius, which is pretty rad. Meanwhile, Deke and Enoch are trying to repair the portal's gateway, and that he would have to give up his life, causing his battery to combust and power the device. Deke and Enoch are both willing to sacrifice themselves to save their friends, and it's very touching. We talk a little about Jeph Loeb's probable involvement in all the gross and weird problematic deaths, abuse, and exploitation of the People of Color on the show. Coulson tells Flint to get everyone to safety, and he goes and says he has more work to do. Kasius with his Odium strength is whaling on Mack, which is hard to believe, because Mack just doesn't look like he's going to be thrown around by Kasius. Mack is taking being thrown into walls and smashed all over the place, but defiantly standing up, and Jemma shows up and disables Kasius with the ear bug thing he used to fill her ears with white noise, getting some sweet revenge. Mack stabs him in the chest with the shotgun axe, and Mack is despondent, believing that Yo-Yo was dead, until our Yo-Yo screamed his name, running through the doorway and into his arms. Enoch is dying, ready to power the machine, and Fitz asks him to hold on a little longer and calls him his friend. They show up with Coulson carrying an unconscious Daisy, and hoping she will forgive him, as Deke sends the team back to their own time, and Enoch explodes to save the world. Flint and Tess note that Deke didn't make out of the range of the blast, but fall short of proclaiming him dead. Flint is left to remake the Earth, and prepared to do so.  And now, as always, Black Lives Matter. Now more than ever voting, and voting laws, are important in the U.S..

S5:E09 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Best Laid Plans." This is our 100th episode, so we start with...being sad about Ruth Bader Ginsberg's passing (you can tell how long ago we recorded this). So, get ready for a 10 minute rant about the state of politics from about two and a half months ago! Also, we were both just getting some relief from being inundated with wildfires at the time of this recording, so if our vibe is "abject terror," you know why. Also, there were some technical difficulties, with some distortion, and some plane sounds, and sirens so, please bear with us! The episode starts with Kree going after the team in the Lighthouse, and Mack and Yo-Yo are taking them on. Mack begins to take the leadership role he's destined for. The humans took back an entire floor from the Kree, infuriating Kasius. Kasius is confounded by the attack/rebellion, and perplexed by their having a supply of guns (thanks to Fitz's preparation in the past). Kasius is starting to lose his shit, proclaiming himself the humans' savior, and God. On the Zephyr the team and Enoch discuss how Flint is going to save them all and fix everything, as Robin's prophecy has told them. While May struggles with the emotions that come with her newly developed maternal relationship with Robin, and Daisy and Coulson tell her that they can see her as a mom, in a very sweet moment. As Deke prepares to deal with Voss, his father's killer, Coulson leaves it up to Deke to deal with it as he wants, either because he's also gone through a revenge arc, or because he's just not invested in Deke's future. Voss explains that Deke's dad and himself ended up fighting, and he only killed him in self defense. While Yo-Yo tries to teach Flint how to use their guns, Mack gets protective of him, wanting to spare him from further violence. Kasius sends a resurrected Tess to negotiate with the humans on his behalf. She tells them about Kasius's newfound (or just heightened?) God complex, and they realize that he only wants Mack, Yo-Yo and Flint so he can draw out Daisy. Despite Coulson wanting Daisy at full power, Daisy wants to keep the power inhibitor the Kree have given her, and it hurts her to feel like she's not "enough" for her father figure without her powers. It seems like Coulson may be trying to rush his mentoring of the team members, since he knows his time is limited and he's dying. Jemma and Fitz figure out how the Zephyr's space-ready modifications were made, using Fitz's designs and with Gravitonium, and they begin to figure out how the Earth was destroyed. While Fitz is coming to stark conclusions and fearful predictions, Jemma centers him with optimism to counter his fear. While they're pummeled with the remains of buildings from the Earth's surface May tells Enoch she's had a building dropped on her before, which we *think* was a reference to her knocking down the building with the Berzerker Staff, but it might be something else? May gets the avionics going and they flee the barrage of buildings and ruins being chucked at them. The team starts to figure out how Kasius is planning to destroy the entire Lighthouse with the hit of a button. On the Zephyr the non-S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. members onboard get ready to flee to hide in the caves on the surface of Earth's remains. Daisy compliments Deke for not killing Voss for revenge, and they have a discussion about whether or not killing someone makes them a bad guy, if it's for the right reasons. We finally get a little more of the story of Earth's destruction, finding out that an alien invasion precipitated the cracking open of the planet. ‪‪In retrospect, the way they wanted us to believe Deke was considering killing Daisy to save the planet, and how Deke ends up, ‪‪is kind of crazy. They realize that Kasius has them over a barrel, and that they can't stop him from blowing up the Lighthouse, so Yo-Yo and Mack decide to give themselves up. Flint tells Tess she's the only person he has, and she looks to Yo-Yo and Mack, and assures him she's not the alone in being there for him. May has to pilot the space Zephyr through a gravity storm, and makes a "mom face," as Daisy puts it, when they question if she can pull it off. Kasius is notified that Tess returned alone, making him even more furious and unhinged, and Tess gives him the message that they're holding the research floor hostage, showing them Terrigen Crystals and Inhuman blood samples she'd been sent with to drive home that they have control of his future ability to create and manipulate Inhumans. Daisy helps get the Zephyr off the ground when their anchors won't release for May, and Deke follows her (to make us think he might kill her?). Kasius recognizes Yo-Yo immediately when he comes to meet with her and Mack, and explains that the deal to give the Kree Inhumans was made long ago. Sinara shows up as Daisy tries to release the anchors, and they start to fight in some zero gravity action before May hits the artificial gravity button and slams them to the floor, which is all pretty cool. Deke helps Daisy against Sinara, immediately regretting getting involved, and then Flint shows up where Yo-Yo and Mack are with Kasius. The gravity switches off and on again on the Zephyr, and Sinara ends up impaled.‪‪ Mack tricks Kasius into setting off his explosives, that had all been moved to a single location, far from the evacuated humans, and Kasius is furious as they escape in the chaos, screaming "NOOOOOOO!" like he's at the end of Revenge of the Sith. Kasius is prepared for the Zephyr's return, as he reveals that he has his OWN seer (which we know is future Yo-Yo). And Jared's timeline confusion is made even worse!   And now, as always, Black Lives Matter.

S5:E07 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Together or Not at All." This one starts with some current events from a month or two back, and we rail on Jeph Loeb after an interview with Peter Shinkoda about his time on Daredevil and the Netflix Marvel shows, where we learned Loeb was openly racist, and discriminated against Asian actors. We now know for a fact that much of the quality and thoughtful work on the Agents of S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. was in spite of Loeb's toxic, racist influence, and in no way because of it. And Mo, and the crew that she brought together with Jed, are even more appreciated, knowing what they were working with.‪‪ We also mention learning the actor who played Gabe Reyes, in addition to not using a wheelchair, isn't Latinx, so there's another gross case of white washing. May and Enoch are both captured by some giant hook/claw machine grabber, and taken away suddenly. Daisy and Sinara have battled in the arena, May is on Earth's surface, and Fitz, Jemma, and Daisy are escaping to Fitz's ship. Fitz is super sweet with Daisy, and it makes what's coming even more difficult to watch, and Jemma's earbud implant goes off and Fitz helps remove it while Daisy, powerless from the Kree's inhibitor, takes on a Kree with hand to hand combat. They watch the ship explode, and need a new strategy. Kasius is distressed by his new scar, and his brother looks at him like he's crazy. Sinara is still mad at Kasius for using her like a weapon that could be discarded, understandably. Also, totally randomly, but "Anton Ivanov" was named "A.‪‪I.," soooo, that's a thing. Coulson and Mack watch them take Tess's body after the Kree had her killed to make a point. Kasius tries to appeal to Sinara, and uses their relationship, to help him placate his brother until he leaves. Daisy, Jemma, and Fitz escape in an elevator, but when it's stopped they have to escape out of the top. Cut to May running from "Roaches" on Earth's surface, severly injured and still standing, and she's saved from the alien predators by...Enoch, sentient Chronicom, and trusted friend! Enoch explains he's with Fitz, and there to help, and May remembers him from the diner they were taken from to be sent to the future. Humans are getting their throats slit by Kree warriors pursuing Fitz, Jemma, and Daisy, who notice the open escape hatch, and follow. Yo-Yo and Mack help Flint deal with Tess's death, and Mack volunteers to talk to him, since he's Super-Dad. Kasius and his brother have a conversation where we learn that Kasius was shamed by running from battle instead of trying to die for his family honor, and punished by running the humans on the Lighthouse. Fitz opens up the walls and discovers the secret to the Lighthouse's gravity...Gravitonium from Season 1, and Ian Quinn. A Kree warrior comes in, and Fitz ends up shot, and they pretend to surrender for a moment, until Daisy beats his ass, and they flee in the haze from a busted pipe, and runs into Deke. Deke meets Fitz for the first time, and he has a plan to help them, but Daisy is reasonably skeptical. Mack bonds with Flint, offering to be there for him, and stopping him from turning himself in out of guilt, while encouraging him to use his powers to help others. Mack continues to be the best dad, and leader, ever. The team reunites, and Fitz explains how he got there from the past "the long way." While the team members catch up they notice that Flint has "turned himself in," but he actually used his powers to kill a Kree soldier with his rock controlling power. Sinara tries to use Flint as bait, and the team comes rushing in for him. Coulson shoots Sinara, and Mack hits the Kree on the head with a gas can, and they start shooting wildly. They've barricaded themselves in Grill's factory, arguing what to do next, and they decide to go to Earth's surface. Flint blocks the door with his rocks, but the Kree are shooting through the walls. Deke thinks to use his anti-gravity belt to help them escape up the rock chute, and they narrowly escape as Sinara and her men enter the room. Flint has a great hero moment, deciding to stay and help everyone left on the Lighthouse station from the fallout from their escape, and Mack and Yo-Yo join him while the rest of the team figures out how they'll get back to the past/present. Fitz tells Mack that he left a bunch of S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. weapons hidden in a wall, and Mack complains that it's on the level infested with "Roaches." Coulson fanboys like crazy, flying a spaceship. Kasius's brother taunts him, saying he would take Sinara from him, and Kasius killed his brother in retaliation. He sneered that Sinara isn't a piece of property, and we learn that Sinara had helped Kasius flee combat years before, and they plan together to earn their way out of the Lighthouse and his lower position in their culture. This is the most likable Kasius is in the entire season, showing his true respect and appreciation for Sinara, and illustrating his situation. Fitz and Jemma's alone time is interrupted by the ship crashing to Earth's surface, and May wakes up on the Zephyr, and before her is standing the precognitive Inhuman Robin, now an old woman.

S5:E05 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Rewind." It's a fast-paced, fun, Fitz-filled, silly episode, and our real introduction to Enoch, sentient Chronicom, and trusted friend. We figure out where Fitz went after the rest of the team are sent to the future against their will, and without their knowledge, and get to know an important S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. character who will always remind us is *not* a robot! Fitz struggles with his search for the rest of the team until he accepts Robin and her Inhuman gift and the magical kind of world they live in and the logic and reason he tries to apply to a chaotic, and impossible/magic universe.  Where we left off Talbot was comatose and believed to be shot by Daisy (and our timelines are *totally* jumbled from this time travel and the framework, and multiple story arcs per season are throwing us off big time). We pick up where Fitz is left alone at the diner when everyone else was taken to be sent to the future. He gets interrogated by Talbot's replacement, Brigadier General Hale, but can't cooperate because he literally knows nothing, breaking him down, and he agrees to use the considerable resources of his mind to help them figure out what happened to the team, and they put him to work in his cell. Enter: research montage! When he's brought in to report on his findings Fitz considers that he might have just lost his mind, but when he's assured the other customers in the diner had lost time as well, he remembers a high pitched noise before their disappearance. He makes a request to send in letters to a football/soccer fanzine, which seemed innocent enough that they obliged, but Fitz wasn't just venting about his favorite sport, as we soon see. He keeps track of time with monkeys, and scrawls equations all over the walls. As time goes on his hair and beard grow and he keeps reading his football fanzine, and doing his research, for six months, when he suggests they were abducted by aliens. When they had just decided to stop giving him a chance his "lawyer" showed up, and it's Hunter, having gotten secret messages from Fitz in the letters to the football 'zine! Hunter busts him out, literally, by blowing a hole through the wall. As they flee toward the helicopter pilot Hunter had brought in, he crashes, and they're forced to run on foot to Hunter's "plan B," an RV. After Fitz catches Hunter up he refers to AIDA as a sex robot, and flusters the hell out of Fitz, given his history with Ophelia. ‪Fitz verbalizes that he worries the universe is keeping him and Jemma from being together. In his research of the events surrounded the team's abduction Fitz notices the vans/trucks changing the graphics as they approached and left the scene, and figured out who took them, tracking down Enoch. They discover his home, the drawings on his fridge, and footage of a monolith taking the team, before encountering him, and getting his introduction schtick. He sent them to fulfill the prophecy, and assures them he only intends to help. He connects them to Robin, the seer, and the source of prophecy, and Fitz begins to see what's going on. They show us that those drawings on Enoch's fridge were predictions made by Robin. Enoch helps them escape the people after them and go to the lighthouse, all based on the prophecy, and explains that he only intervened when he did because they were facing an extinction level event. This is where Fitz questions if he didn't get sent to the future because he no longer deserves to be with Jemma, and when he asks Robin why he was left out of the prophecy, and her mom explains that she experiences the past, present and future all at once. We get hints of May's relationship with Robin as her adoptive mother, and one of the drawings has a bunch of bodies on the ground, and we don't know exactly what that's foreshadowing. They end up having to return to Brigadier General Hale's compound to get Fitz to the rest of the group, and he ends up in a ridiculous southern disguise. They end up using Hunter's hillbilly American allies to their advantage, and release a bunch of ferrets to distract them and then find what they were looking for, the Zephyr! Fitz and Hunter secure the Zephyr even while they're outmatched by Hale's sheer numbers, but flee in a rad escape, and a much needed win. Hale executes her lackeys mercilessly. At the Lighthouse Fitz prepares for his "trip" to the future by putting a cache of S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. weapons and supplies (including Mack's shotgun axe), in a wall and then gets into the device that will reunite him with Jemma...Enoch's cryo-chamber! They're freezing our boy to get him to the future! Also, the multiple timelines are boggling our minds (how many Enochs are there by the end?) Fitz and Hunter have a great Han and Leia moment, and as Fitz is thawed out in the future Enoch prepares him for his role posing as space scum, and Fitz assures him he's ready for it. We close out the episode with some gushing about Enoch, and his actor Joel Stoffer, and being totally tangled into an impossible time travel/timeline knot. And now, as always, Black Lives Matter.

S5:E04 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “A Life Earned." We begin with the Kree taking Daisy's blood. Kasius claims to have saved humanity, and begins to see Jemma and Daisy are connected, and reveals he knows about the prophecy, but thinks the time traveling S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. team are there to help *him*. So he plans to sell Daisy to the highest bidder, and threatens to injure/torture Jemma if she doesn't agree. We go to May working for Grill while the trawler is grounded, and Grill zaps Mack for talking, and then drafts him to be his replacement muscle, perpetuating Mack's cycle of being forced into violence by his circumstances and awful people. Mack, as Black man, has been continually forced into this position, which is incredibly relevant and reflective of the pervasive white supremacist tendencies of our entire society. Oh, and *Ward* bought Jess a drink from a stand at a mall, and they hung out with Coulson, and they might've gone to the beach...in a dream she had! But back to the episode, at the Kree Inhuman gladiatorial arena Daisy meets a shirtless telepathic Inhuman warrior boy who gives her the lowdown on their future/Kree "grown" synthetic meat, but they can't get to know each other too well before Daisy is told to provide a demonstration for Kasius. Mack and Yo-Yo are going to act as Grill's muscle and Coulson wants to explore the Kree level with May, even though they're going in unaware of what they'll be facing, and May is *kind of* Coulson's muscle, come to think of it. Daisy fights for Kasius to save Jemma from his wrath, and he snubs Lady Basha. Deke is there for his payment, and gets a coin made from a rare metal, and Kasius asks Deke to bring in any more people connected to the prophecy, but there's more than meets the eye. The Inhuman telepathic guy, *maybe* named Ben (we just don't know), knows they're being sold into slavery because of his telepathy, but keeps it to himself, because his family *will* be rewarded for it, and punished if he reveals the truth. Deke lies about where Daisy is, sort of, and Coulson buys it, to a point. Coulson shows Deke the transmission from the surface, and convinces him to help them get there to check it out. Mack and Yo-Yo discuss the limits one is willing to go to in order to survive, and Yo-Yo exposes some of Mack's relative privilege that he has never had to compromise his morality to survive. Sinara took a soldering iron from a dude ominously and mentions to Kasius and Daisy that she saw someone else help Jemma when she healed someone before, and asked who else might be from the prophecy. Daisy tells them a bullshit story about traveling through time from the diner with Jemma alone, and the ‪‪Inhuman telepath helped coordinate Jemma and Daisy's story. Sinara is on to them, and Kasius is mad that they can't punish anyone yet. Deke takes Coulson and May to Level 36 and makes good on the promise. The telepath tells Daisy that Kasius hates his life and plans to use Daisy to destroy the station. Coulson, May and Deke get to a lab and see a human baby incubating, and Coulson notes how grimly dystopian it has become, with the Kree sterilizing the humans so they depend on Kree genetic engineering for reproduction. Coulson threatens Deke, through May, to tell him what's going on with Daisy when Kree goons show up and May takes them down, but Deke is injured, and then Sinara shows up as Coulson helps Deke escape. Yo-Yo and Mack bust into Gunner's quarters for Grill, and offer to get rid of the package they had for them, but it was stuff for his child, and Gunner freaks out on Mack and tells him he doesn't deserve to have children, and Mack's heart is broken as he's enraged to the point of beating him senseless. May and Sinara face off in an awesome scene, and then Coulson pops Deke in the face after seeing to his wounds. And Coulson calls Deke out on profiting from other people's suffering, but Deke stands up for himself, and explains some of what he's been through, and that his dad's voice is the one they've heard transmit from the surface, and that all he's done has been to survive. Mack slips Gunner and his wife and kid money to make up for what he'd done, and to get Grill off his case. Mack's position of there always being a moral choice cannot be applied in their current situation, and the differences between his and Yo-Yo's outlooks are accentuated by the facts of life in the dark future they've found themselves in. We discuss a future death spoiler for this season, and how time travel works in S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D., and whether or not timelines are erased, or if folks are just moving from one dimension to another? And how does time travel *really* work in Back to the Future? Deke's from another timeline, but he's around, so his history wasn't undone...Hmmm... Mack is worried that he's losing himself, and questions if he was a good father or not, because he was more hurt by losing framework Hope than losing his real world Hope, but Yo-Yo assures him that his love for framework Hope was because he's a great father, not the opposite. Grill tells him he's fitting right in, and it all breaks him. He's emotionally shattered. We digress for a moment to remind you to check out some S.H.I.E.L.D. vets, Blair Underwood on Netflix's Self-Made, and B.J. Britt on Pitch on Hulu, and then recap Kasius trying to sell Daisy to a group of rich bidders, and Fitz wants to bid! And now more than ever, fuck the police. Now as always, Black Lives Matter.

S3:E03 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “A Life Spent." To begin, Grill is a sci-fi kind of name, as is Virgil, but in a different way. Also, Grill saying he owns Mack is *GROSS*, and feels especially messed up. Daisy sort of breezes past her world-destroying prophecy, and Deke wants to address it, and discuss multiverse theory. ‪‪In hindsight, Deke has evolved a lot, and we can see bits of his grandpa showing through with his techy-ness. A lot of Deke, and well, everyone's stories, are about dealing with Trauma. Jemma is being used to help a girl named Abby, but learns she's only doing so to help Kasius, who uses the Inhumans as gladiators. Daisy catches up with Yo-Yo to figure out the plan to save Simmons, and steal the scroll from Grill, who catches on that they're up to something. We see that Tess was looking out for Flint, a character from ‪‪Inhumans comics that we'll meet properly a little later in the season. Jemma gets to know the Inhuman girl, Abby, and helps her while learning more about the way things work for them there, and that the girl has intangibility powers. "The trawler is a giant fish eating rocks in space." And it is! Coulson and May spend some time alone, and hash it out, because Coulson's eternal optimism is faltering and she's dealing with an injury. Grill hears an alarm, but nothing seems to be wrong, and ends up turning off Yo-Yo's "malfunctioning" metric, so she can pull off her scroll-heist. They get ahold of what Tess calls "the lost knob," a radio dial that Virgil needed, but they're caught by Grill who metric's them to the wall with magnets, and they're saved by Mack, who wasn't around until then. Meanwhile Jemma coaches Abby through her powers with science and education, and then she's ready for, wait no...gladiatorial combat. Deke tries to stop Daisy from going after Jemma, but she won't listen. Mack won't listen to Tess when she suggests killing Zev to cover their asses, because he lives by a code. Lady Basha comes to have her big dude kick Abby's ass in the arena and Jemma tries to help her through it, and it works so well she kills Basha's champion. When Zev wakes up Tess is freaking out, but Mack stays strong. Basha buys Abby from Kasius and Jemma is freaking out, and a box of lemons thwart Daisy from getting to Jemma during an awesome Mission: Impossible-like heist scene, and Chloe was rad! She quakes, ending the fight. Grill interrogates the team and is about to come down hard on them but Yo-Yo planted a gun on Zev and Grill sacrifices his righthand man after Coulson and Tess back Yo-Yo up, and Mack is horrified with the team's actions, and especially Yo-Yo's choice to let someone else die for their lives. Mack continues to be growing into the only person for the job of Director. And Yo-Yo has lived her whole life in the face of those questions, and isn't willing to give up her life, or her friends. It seems like Deke has given Daisy up to Kasius for his own benefit, but we know that's not right! And the episode ends with Coulson's season ending cliffhanger, followed by the Roaches ripping apart Zev after he was sent to the surface of the Earth, where they send those sentenced to death.

S3:E01-02 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Orientation." The fifth season is nuts and confusing, but it's a fun one! We take on the two-part premiere, and start the issue with a little bit of current events diversion from a month and a half ago.   So, after we meet a new weird character we'll get to know better later to the music of the Talking Heads, we learn where the team went in the finale--the future! So everyone but Fitz is in over their head, and we're along for the ride! Our new mysterious friend has a nice pool day at home before picking up everyone but Fitz in a weird van with a Matrix-y shifting logo. Coulson sees that they're in space meets a man named Virgil as they run from space monsters called "Roaches," and learns they're a part of some prophecy. Coulson reunites with Mack, Yo-Yo and Simmons, who isn't impressed with space. Been there, done that. We take note of the gory violence, and the poor lighting Jaclyn mentioned before. Daisy saves the team, and we're introduced to Deke, as is May, who's probably at his most obnoxious, and most Star Lord-y. Deke implants May with a "metric," and we don't know it yet, but he's actually helping. Meanwhile, Virgil thinks they're all part of some predestined prophecy, Mack thinks it's magic, and Jemma mocks him endlessly as a result. We side with Mack, citing Ghost Rider. And Mack continues his movie-based fears, with aliens joining robots. Mack and Yo-Yo are separated from the rest of the team, and tortured by the Kree, but have some great moments together amongst it all. We get some Yo-Yo arm foreshadowing, and Deke has one of those "what drugs are you on, and where can ‪‪I can get some?" lines. In Roach and Kre fueled confusion and the group's separation, Virgil died. Coulson and Deke start to figure out the time travel of it all, right as Jemma and May see a school bus in space and the remnants of Earth, and Daisy, Mack and Yo-Yo begin to crack the case as well when they find a postcard from Fitz that reads "working on it," in the walls of the station.   In part two Jemma and May are on a trawler being hit by asteroids and survive by turning it off and on again. They ask Deke for help, and all he can do is give them metrics, like he did May. They meet Tess, tell her Virgil died, and they find out the Kree they killed are in charge, and they shouldn't have done that. They find out that Earth blew up and these are the survivors, and see the remnants of humanity, and find out they're in a space station called the Lighthouse. Deke tells Tess that these are the S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. from Virgil's prophecy, and though skeptical, she shows them to Virgil's stuff. Tess crosses paths with Grill and we start to see how the future works for them. Deke's got a Framework arcade, and he really likes Daisy, but it's not *too* bad, yet. Simmons is taken by the Kree after she shows that she's got medical knowledge. When Deke and Daisy come back May explain what happened to Simmons, and Tess tells Deke that she thinks Virgil might have been right, because our team seems weird to them. Jemma is at a well lit Kree bathhouse and no one will respond to her. The head Kree dude, Kasius shows up, and he's a douche. We see their system is insane and Tess kills a scavenger a la Battle Royale to save herself, and the rest of the S.H.I.E.L.D. team. They make a deal to steal a Kree tablet for their metrics, and they end up getting into Grill's servitude because Yo-Yo proved to be so useful. Kasius has the Kree enforcer, Sinara, kill a dude Jemma fixed up for being imperfect, and he's just the worst. Daisy follows Deke into his Framework to lecture him for using it keep people placated and oblivious, and he shows her video salvaged from the past, Daisy was the one who broke the world. WHAT?!?! Also, Kasius has made Jemma a slave, because he's the gross. Coulson, May, Yo-You and Mack are slaves to Grill, and this is *rough*. And where's Fitz?!   And other than our fictional law enforcement agency, fuck the police. Now as always, Black Lives Matter.

S4:E22 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “World's End." As Jess puts it so well in the recap to the finale of this final third of season four, the show sort of loses its connection to reality from now on, and it changes fundamentally.   Yo-yo is in the Framework and trying to save Mack before the Framework goes down for good, and Radcliffe's ghost in the machine is there to help. Robbie shows up to stop Ivanov's stupid robot face in his tracks, and uses his hellfire and badassedness to put Aida in her place, and really gets under her skin. He seems to be able to hurt her, but appears impervious to her. And this wraps up the season perfectly, connecting AIDA and Robbie's arcs with the Darkhold and the Ghost Rider curse in a full circle. Talbot has some hard news for Coulson, there is no S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D., and he needs him immediately to argue on its behalf. Robbie and Daisy quasi-flirt, and we were ROBBED. Mack doesn't recognize Yo-yo, and Radcliffe tries to help bridge that gap, but the dissolving Framework and Radcliffe's vibe are making the Framework Hope figure out what's going on. Jared is slightly confused by Ivanov and his Russian analyst LMD buddy's strategy, but we're happy to move on and not delve into Ivanov any more than we have to. At the meeting with Talbot Ivanov drops the Darkhold on the U.N. task force and Talbot calls "a load of L. Ron Horsecrap!" before being shot in the face by a Daisy LMD, framing S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. and making Inhumans look bad. AIDA is a weirdo, reveling in torturing Daisy as Robbie destroys the hell out of the Daisy LMD. Daisy and Robbie tag team fight a buttload of LMDs and Coulson is super bummed to have missed the superhero team up of his (and our) OTP.    We digress slightly because we lost Robbie's Ghost Rider spin-off, and that SUCKS. Coulson has a sweet, but difficult moment with Fitz and Simmons trying to get them to push through their issues and get them back to working in tandem. Yo-yo understands Mack's difficulty letting go, but can't let him die for Hope's framework self. Coulson mentions Robot May being more supportive, tipping May off to Coulson and Robo-May's connection. Daisy hacks the crap out the Framework to save Mack and Yo-yo, and makes some goo-goo eyes with Robbie. Yo-yo debates leaving with Radcliffe, and Hope's fears are confirmed, she knows she's not real (violating the first rule of Early Childhood Education). Fitz tries to reason with AIDA, and Jemma won't have coddle her, and AIDA doesn't respond super well. Coulson can't quite explain almost getting with Robo-May, but May agrees that they both deserve a do-over with each other.  We have a JemmAndroid death fakeout, and AIDA is stopped by Coulson possessed by the Rider. Ghost Rider Coulson burns the crap out of AIDA, and puts an end to the Darkhold's creation once and for all.   Mack looks for Hope in the Framework and tells her that she's the most real thing in the world, and Yo-yo won't leave him. Framework Hope begins to disappear, and we watch her die, erased from the program in Mack's arms, and we are destroyed. They go through Daisy's back door, and Mack remembers both Yo-yo, and his Framework life with Hope, and hopes to have that life with Yo-yo now. We go on for a bit about Mack's amazingness, and how is the perfect S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. Director, and Jared's perfect choice for Captain America one day. Ghost Rider has an amazing exit as he opens a gateway to another dimension with his hellfire and chains, and we're so sad to him go. Daisy forgives Fitz on the team's behalf and Coulson decides they need a break and a meal, so they go out for dinner. We hear our favorite sentient Chronicom and trusted friend Enoch for a moment before everyone but Fitz disappears, and then Coulson's in space, and that's it!   Also, congratulations to S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. alumnus J. August Richards for coming out to his audience and the public as the proud Gay man he's been privately his entire life.

S4:E21 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “The Return." We get into the penultimate episode of this...third of the season, but also, since it's the *final* third, the penultimate episode of the season in general! A long-absent non-Framework'd May and Coulson must reunite while fighting off an army of Ivanov-bots (Anton Ivanov? A.‪‪I.? *Really*, S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. writers?) The Zephyr's literally on fire but Daisy, Jemma, Yo-yo and Davis fight the impending disasters and manage to pull through. Fitz is disoriented as the newly (In?)human AIDA teleports them to some picturesque beach. AIDA continues to mess with Fitz's brain by compounding his guilt, reinforcing that he made all his own choices in the Framework. Yo-yo yells at Daisy for leaving Mack behind, but understands why she had to let him make the choice, though against Daisy's request, really wants to jump into the collapsing Framework to try once more to pull Mack back out. While fending off the Robo-Russians Coulson finds deflecting May's questions to avoid addressing his feelings for her, and how he told them to Robo-May, more difficult than fighting off the scores of attacking androids. May kicks the crap out of a ton of A.I.vanovs in a hallway/doorway shot while Coulson holds his own, and ‪‪it's freaking rad. Ivanov floods their facility at this point, though as Jess points out, what was he waiting for? Though, we maybe cracked the character's essence: he's really bad at planning/illogical/maybe just stupid. Fitz tries to reason with, and teach AIDA, who's almost infant-like emotional state combined with her Inhuman abilities leaves her exceptionally dangerous, though he manages to appeal to her growing empathy and she saves Mack with her teleportation. Jemma has no patience for either AIDA or Fitz and has them immediately taken into custody. May is told about Robo-May's sacrifice as they return to the base, and place AIDA & Fitz into the containment capsule as they pass an emotionally poignant fallen photo of Mace's heroic moment in Vienna. May and Coulson try to explain to Jemma what their Framework lives were like, and what they mean to them, in order to process what Fitz has become, but can't handle it, and Daisy and Yo-yo hit the nail on her head, explaining that she both worries about who Fitz is, and who he may love. We see Fitz try to let AIDA down gently, even relating himself to Ward. But as misguided as she is, and as immature, AIDA simply cannot deal with his rejection, and goes berserk. Talbot shows up and makes Jared's day when he tells Coulson to "shut his robot mouth, or I'll have my men weld it shut for you!" The superpowerful AIDA uses Lincoln's electricity to bust out as Coulson tries to convince Talbot he's not an LMD. AIDA cuts a swath through the playground to get to a fleeing Fitz who barely manages to escape on the Zephyr to a conflicted Jemma. There she comforts an emotionally destroyed, sobbing Fitz, and Yo-yo does what Daisy begged her not to before, and goes after Mack in the Framework. AIDA gets her emotions going by briefly smooching and then totally destroying the bodies of some of Ivanovs LMD duplicates, and Ivanov offers to help her gain control of this world as she had in the Framework. Talbot and his team abandon the ruins of the Playground, seeing no trace of the S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. team or AIDA and her LMDs. An inter-dimensional gate left intact turns on and opens, with Ghost Rider stepping outside. As the episode closes we see Yo-yo strapped to a table in a Framework Hydra facility, falling apart at the seams. And other than our fictional law enforcement agency, fuck the police.

S4:E20 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Farewell, Cruel World!" With this being the "420" episode, and Ghost Rider returning soon to close out the season, Jared laments the lack of planning that failed to deliver on the perfect Season 4 episode 20 title, "Blaze It!" This episode is very emotional as the team's time in the Framework comes to an end. Trip's acceptance of his reality, but refusal to accept his lack of a love interest is dead on. Jemma's attempt to get to Fitz blows up in her face as Alistair pushes her hand and ends up shot, making Framework Fitz hate Jemma completely and destroying Jemma's plans utterly. And Alistair's behavior is like a crash course in abusive gaslighting, feeling proud of his history of cruelty and violence towards Fitz for simply being around. Jemma reunites with the team as they gather at Radcliffe's backdoor out of the Framework to begin their voyage back to reality. Coulson gets used to being the face of the Framework's resistance and May and Daisy's Framework relationship isn't the same as in the real world. Trip suggests what we hoped during our first watch of this season, and breaks our hearts by not escaping to the real world with the team. May accidentally spills the beans about the Framework's reality to Mack but he isn't having it, refusing to leave Hope. Coulson starts to die and reminisces about his past death(s) before he convinces May to take a leap of faith back to reality with him. Fitz shows up to take revenge on Jemma for killing his father and is unbelievably cruel to her as she professes her love to him and he shoots her in the leg and she's saved by Radcliffe. He earns his redemption, though at the price of them fridging poor Agnes to motivate his regrets, and double crosses the Framework Fitz to help get him back to the real world against his brainwashed wishes. Daisy leaves Mack behind, breaking the hearts of Yo-yo, and us. As the team reels from processing their time in the Framework and then the egg-timer dings and AIDA's Darkhold-built "real girl" body is done, and she teleports Fitz out of there with one of her many Inhuman powers. We reel over Mack's incredibly emotional end scene with Trip and Hope, and appreciate the writers for their depth of emotion, but also wonder if their goal is to torture us.

S4:E19 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “All the Madame's Men." The episode opens on a behind-the-scenes look at "the Bakshi Report," the Framework's version of FOX News, where we get a glimpse of the Hydra war hero version of John Garrett in the Framework's version of "history." May & Daisy escape Hydra and shatters AIDA's spine in the process with a good Quake'ing. May's body cam footage of their assault helps fight Bakshi's Hydra propaganda, turning the masses of the non-player characters of the Framework to their side. Simmons and Trip try to find the location of Project: Looking Glass, AKA AIDA's plan to become a "real girl," leading them to an abandoned Russian oil platform, which Jemma instantly connects with the location applying to the real world equivalent, not the Framework. Framework Ward acknowledges how awful he must've been to Daisy, and we talk about how bizarre it must be for the team to interact with this version of him. And the episode closes with Jemma fully unveiling AIDA's plan to the team, she's going to use the Darkhold's knowledge to make herself real, and bring Framework Fitz along with her. Also, is the Framework plot pretty much the Matrix, but where Mr. Smith (AIDA) just really wants to sleep with Neo (Fitz)? We think so. And we continue to poke holes in the "one regret" idea and how it works with "non-player characters." And Jess takes note of the further insanity of their headquarters' location, because they take prohibition-era tunnels (we see you season 7!) to the Playground--but from where?! And hey...they're time-traveling this final season...could they time travel to young Ward? Who knows! And these fictional super cops aside, fuck the police, and now as always, Black Lives Matter.

S7:E01 - Jess and Jared react to “The New Deal" with our special guest, Jaclyn! This is very different episode for us, where we aren't recapping and reviewing the episode like we usually do (we'll do that when we get to Season 7!), *AND* we got to have on one of our favorite Agents of S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. friends, Jaclyn! The final season began with a crazy trip to the 1930s! With Chronicoms attempting to "correct" anachronisms and chaos in the timeline caused by the S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. team's prior time travel shenanigans from Season 5. We got young Malicks, the Koenigs' grandpa, and Daisy and Mack saying "fuck you" to the racist world of the Depression era U.S. and looking amazing and being awesome in spite of a super racist and sexist world. We had a blast with Jaclyn discussing our reactions, general thoughts on the final season, the ongoing struggle of the FitzSimmons ship being forever kept apart, how May was done wrong in Season 6, Robo-May vs. Robo-Coulson, Enoch (our favorite sentient Chronicom, and trusted friend), Mack's ongoing evolution as *the* Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., a bit of Deke love, Yo-Yo's character development and an attempt to tackle ableism and living with an amputation, and we even hate on Lincoln a little, so it was a pretty great time. We were so happy to have Jaclyn on to discuss our initial reaction to the beginning of this final S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. season!

S4:E18 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “No Regrets." Jess starts this one by calling out the episode's author as both "wonderful" and an "emotional terrorist," which Jared feels sounds about right. Mace & Coulson infiltrate the Hydra conversion camps. Meanwhile, Framework Fitz tells Daisy he knows about "her world," but AIDA/Ophelia has misled him, portraying them as invaders from another reality/dimension, not the world of their real lives/selves. May's Framework change, while supposedly leaving her with no regrets, has also led to her having nothing to lose. The episode leads Jess to pose the question, how connected are Framework and IRL AIDA, exactly? Jemma resists with the A.‪‪I. sentience of the "Non-Player Characters" of the Framework, though it's challenged by Framework Mace and Ward. Mace & Coulson sort of switched roles in the Framework. AIDA tries to bribe Daisy with Lincoln's resurrection, revealing the entire schtick of the Framework as "one changed regret," for everyone, but she doesn't but it. While in Hydra's custody Daisy gets her spy on and talks to Radcliffe through the vents and learns about a secret backdoor beyond AIDA's reach/control, and they formulate an escape plan from the Framework. Mace & Coulson's mission brings us back to Trip, or at least a very emotional reunion for us as viewers with his Framework equivalent, and Coulson is compelled to save his former students from his Framework life as a teacher from Hydra's programming. Hydra bombards the building with the missiles opens May's eyes, both to their cruelty to the children in the camps, their disregard for collateral damage, and the heroism of Mace, Coulson, and Triplett. Seeing Mace die to save them, crushed under rubble from the building, turns May to the resistance, and the episode ends with her sneaking a Terrigen crystal to Daisy to spark her Inhuman powers...Ooooooo! Also, we talk a little about how we like people in Florida, but not Florida so much. And we talk a little about dealing with depression during the COVID-19 crisis, and not beating yourself up so much, or comparing struggles/tragedy right now. And, the Playground...the Bus...are the S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. creators obsessed with grade school? We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

S4:E17 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Identity and Change." As Jess describes, this is an intensely emotional, disturbing episode, and more emotional than we remembered. We meet what remains of the Framework's version of S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. in the form of the Resistance movement, led by the Framework's version of Mace (who's *REALLY* an Inhuman in the simulation), taken to him by the Resistance's mole hiding in Hydra...Ward! It's an emotional rollercoaster! Mack is arrested and taken into custody by May and Daisy-as-Skye, and Mack is forced to help Daisy reveal her true allegiances, and breaks our heart and knows he's compromised his beliefs, but is dedicated to keeping Hope alive (sorry). Hope and Mack are super cute with their robot-hating-movie bonding and talking about Chopping Mall. AIDA wants to go by Ophelia as Madame Hydra, furthering her attempt to Pinocchio herself into "a real girl." They're able to locate Radcliffe and Agnes living in hiding/away from Hydra in the Bermuda Triangle, but Fitz and the Hydra forces arrive and Fitz cruelly and heartlessly murders Agnes, destroying Simmons, and us. The torture of the audience continues with...literal torture, as the Framework-ed Fitz has gone full dark side and is torturing both Radcliffe and Daisy, and Mack's experiences finally motivate him to join the Resistance and help make his world a better one for Hope. Our shared Google doc was almost borked, but Google absolved itself while we record. One of our digressions is about insect reproduction/hierarchies, so that's a thing. Remember Jupiter Ascending? Rewatch it! And Hydra's badges bring about mandatory high school ‪‪‪‪I.D.s on laniards. Also, have you ever heard of reverse déjà vu? We get into the concept of jamais vu! We talk a little about pandemic and stay-at-home orders and irrational protests vs. real issues and what's getting coverage, inspired by the bleakness of the Framework and our own existence. Plus, Chloe Bennett's brother is named *what*?! We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

S4:E16 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “What If..." The third-third-of-the-season premiere has finally come, and we're finally all the way in the Framework! Despite being a Hydra Agent along with May and Daisy, wait, ‪‪I mean Skye, NPC Framework Ward is *super* likable and charming, and we don't love it! Jemma was dead in the Framework, but crawled her out with a view from those who aren't Hydra Agents in their virtual fascist new world order, and sees how Inhumans were used to exploit everyone's fear and prejudice. Coulson is a paranoid teacher struggling with his role teaching propaganda, but not quite ready to understand the truth of their new reality and accept Jemma's attempt to bring his true self to the surface. And Jemma drops the straight dope on Hydra being all Nazis, "and don't you let anyone forget it." We talk a bit about Carrie-Anne Moss being the best part of Netflix's corner of Marvel, and our asides go off track maybe more than ever before as we get to the bottom of Willem Defoe's, reportedly, "confusingly large" penis, in real time as we recorded.

S4:E15 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Self Control." Picking up where we left off, the team have all nearly been replaced by LMDs, and viewers and Fitz and Simmons are *freaking out* about it. This is a pretty dark/horror-y episode, and as Jess observed, this is a Jed Whedon joint, and he's said he loves Ward the most, so maybe he's a kind of a dark dude deep down. AIDA kills Radcliffe's human body, leaving his mind trapped in the Framework, Jemma and Fitz have a very standard "who's the robot" type exchange where Robo-Fitz is ‪exposed and Jemma and Daisy (who's just found a room of Daisy LMD's) are *pretty much* the last real humans running around free in S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D., and Daisy is able to take out the LMD S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. team to escape with the help of Robo-May, the most real and human of all the LMDs, who loves the real Coulson, not the LMD Coulson, breaking our collective heart something crazy. And shoutout to Jeff Steck and Ian Beavers, may they Rest in Peace in the Framework. Now recorded fully into the COVID-19 self-isolation/shelter-in-place era, we have another pre-episode mini rant, this time on Zoom meetings just not working sometimes, and the weird third-of-season format S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. developed alongside the emerging streaming culture, plus, the S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. cast was online to ask ABC to drop the new season all at once, and for folks to stop being stupid and racist!

S4:E14 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “The Man Behind the Shield." Fitz explains the Framework as a VR training program, and he and Jemma plan to use it to locate the real May as the rest of the S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. team searches for Mace and the Russian. We learn that people can get brain damage, or even die, in the Framework, and the stakes are just as high in their virtual world‪. Throughout the episode we see flashbacks to the beginning of May and Coulson's relationship, and it's heartbreaking. While Gemma and Fitz are unsuccessful in locating Radcliffe's other Framework, the team is able to save Mace and Daisy overpowers the Russian, and they return to the base. The episode concludes with Jemma and Fitz discovering that four of their friends had been replaced with LMDs, including Coulson, who boots up Robo-May. And we begin our discussion by going down a weird rabbit hole of references to Legends of the Hidden Temple, Guts, All That! and Ross Perot, before we ever get to the episode with one of our weirdest asides ever, brought to you by Nickelodeon™! Does Jared go through some emotions over his relationship with Chris Pratt films/shows? Yes! And do we rant a little about our Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Scarlet Johansson hate? You bet!

S4:E13 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “BOOM." The S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. crew splits up to find Radcliffe's secret origin/lost love Agnes Kitsworth (AIDA's spitting image/model), and deal with the Watchdog-turned-exploding-man/self-hating ‪‪Inhuman, Shockley. Mack and Coulson meet Agnes and try to convince her to help S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. take down Radcliffe and AIDA, while Ivanov's plan to prove Senator Nadeer was an Inhuman like her brother backfired, revealing his righthand man Shockley, unbeknownst to everyone, was in fact an Inhuman, and Nadeer was a human casualty of the ploy. Fitz figures out how Daisy's powers can stop the exploding man's explosions and the team saves the day, but Coulson and Mack weren't able to get Agnes on board with their plan before Radcliffe convinced her to come with him. We started this one off with a tangent about how being "sibling cowriters" in Hollywood might work, then included a little bit about Mallory Jansen's time in Galavant, and a lot about how great she is in this episode as both the synthetic, robotic AIDA, and the very human Agnes. And Shockley's shocking (sorry) revelation shakes his sense of identity, and led to a discussion of Patty Jenkins's ‪‪I Am the Night mini-series with Chris Pine about the true story of Fauna Hodel. Jess asks "Who can tell what a robot is thinking?," and we ponder "are submarines meant to be really fast?," and "would *you* download yourself into a robot?"

S4:E12 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Hot Potato Soup." This episode marks the return of Patton Oswalt's Koenig brothers as Radcliffe and Aida search for the Darkhold. Mack emphasizes his hatred of robots, and Robo-May makes moves to further her relationship with Coulson. Robo-Radcliffe gets under Fitz's skin when he brings up his daddy issues (who knew?), and tips off the team to Robo-May's existence just in time to stop her from absconding with the Darkhold and tearfully killing Coulson! We get a lot of great stuff with the Koenig brothers, and get to meet the original S.H.I.E.L.D. Koenig that brought the rest of them in, their sister, L.T., who puts all her siblings to shame, and their brother, Thurston, who shames their family as an anti-S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. conspiracy-spouting standup comedian. The real Radcliffe and the Watchdogs flee with the Darkhold and Robo-Radcliffe and first Aida are destroyed. It ends with Radcliffe getting the straight dope on the Watchdogs from the Russian as reveals his hate-on for Coulson! Jared recalls the robot who started his love of artificial beings with Johnny 5 and then rants about the rampant racism of Short Circuit and has a revelation about his personal connection to fictional automatons. We talk a bit about Parasite and Snowpiercer, hypothesize the best way to fight Patton Oswalt, and which one of us coins the nickname "Quaisy Daisy?"

S4:E11 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Wake Up." The show becomes a game of "who's the robot?" with constant hints, and clues, and red herrings dropped all over the place. Plus sexy times for Yo-Yo & Mack? A choice Talbot appearances brightened our day and had our heads shaking, and Coulson's plan to spy on Nadeer blows up in his face during their Senate hearing. Fitz reveals to Jemma what he's *really* been up to! Robo-May confronts Radcliffe and breaks our hearts over and over. We compare Coulson and Cap. And we find Fitz being played like a Scottish fiddle by Radcliffe right up until Fitz figured him as...the other robot!  All this and more, including May fighting for her freedom until she ends up trapped in a tragic moment from her past rewritten. And...the Hudsucker Proxy, WandaVision, and demon-baby hands!?!? Also, somehow we get to horny teenage Coulson in a beer commercial. We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

S4:E10 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “The Patriot." It’s our “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Friendiversary” episode, and we finally learn Mace’s big secret and start to appreciate our unrealistically earnest government yes man. Dark Aida keeps growing in power, and an MCU spiderweb of connections comes from a magic bullet. We analyze how both Mace and Radcliffe work and who they really are, getting deep into their characters, and as always, we appreciate the hell out of Talbot's buffoonery. And we ask, does S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. do the classic Marvel style of sympathetic villains better than the MCU? We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

S4:E09 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Broken Promises," or, as Jess and Mack would call it, "The Robot Uprising!" The second third of season 4 kicks into high gear as Senator Nadeer betrays her brother to keep her anti-Inhuman rhetoric, and Radcliffe and Aida's slow-building secret android revolution of S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. begins! We speculate who might be on the MCU/Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s version of Dancing With the Stars XD. Also, we ask the age-old question: is a robot fueled by infernal magics *really* A.‪‪I., or just a demon yelling at people through a robot? We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

Ep 77 - Robbie Reyes: Ghost Rider Bonus Episode - In this special episode Jess and Jared are ecstatic to welcome Kate Sánchez, founder/EiC of our podcast home, the But Why Tho Podcast Community, and host of the But Why Tho Podcast, to discuss our favorite spirit of vengeance, Robbie Reyes, and his time on Agents of S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D., in comics, and his importance as Marvel's most prominent Chicano hero!

S4:E07 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss "Deals with Our Devils." We start with a brief aside about Jess’s dad’s time in Vietnam, and catch up with the team fighting against a Darkhold empowered, godlike Eli. And this is while is going on and Coulson, Fitz, and Robbie are presumed dead, we find that they're not dead at all, but in a ghost-like state, trapped out of sync with reality. The ongoing separation of Fitz and Simmons has manifested physically, and we begin to see how the same tragically star-crossed love story is echoed with May and Coulson. Oh yeah, and the Ghost Rider can't be trapped in the other dimension, so he takes Mack for a joyride, and Mack takes his motorcycle for revenge, and Daisy tries to contain things and help free him from the Rider's control while the crew in the other dimensions tries to communicate. Jemma assists the Inhuman in completing Terrigenesis for Senator Nadeer, and Aida receives a Darkhold-derived upgrade she uses to bring Coulson, Robbie and Fitz back. Also, some Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles talk, because of *course* there is. Plus--we don't like ScarJo or Paltrow. We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

S4:E06 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss "The Good Samaritan." Mace is extorted into sending out Simmons to work for Senator Nadeer and her mysterious and nefarious agenda against Inhumans, and viewers, and Gabe, learn Robbie's origin as the Ghost Rider. Robbie takes vengeance on Lucy, and we discover that Eli has used the Darkhold to gain the power to create matter from nothing. And, an aside about the '80s' media propaganda phenomenon of "Satanic Panic" yields one of the funniest moments we've ever had recording, and how hard it must be to be a child actor! Also, ‪‪I think my favorite aside ever: listen to LL Cool J, and wrap it up, kids--use a condom! We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

S4:E05 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss "Lockup." The S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. team and Ghost Rider try to stop Lucy's ghostly reign of terror from burning through Robbie's uncle Eli's prison, Simmons turns the tables on Director Mace, and Mace is forced into a compromising position by Nadeer by association because of the violent deaths left in Ghost Rider's wake. And we focus most of our digressions on story and character analysis, so...good for us! Also: the S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. Containment Module and the Fantastic Four's Fantasti-Car: Separated at birth?? AND, Keanu Reeves talk, for some reason (who could complain about that?)! We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

S4:E04 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss "Let Me Stand Next to Your Fire." Coulson meets Uncle Eli in prison, Simmons sees through Fitz and Radcliffe's secret about AIDA, Daisy hacks into the Watchdogs' mainframe and tracks down JT AKA Hellfire, who had already betrayed them anti-Inhuman terrorists! With Robbie's help the S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. team defeat the Watchdogs and take down our favorite Aussie Inhuman (sorry, not sorry Luke Mitchell). XD  And our rants have us throwing shade at Drake, thanking goodness pop culture has avoided a child neck-snapping epidemic, and for no real reason, ‪a random "Little Italy," rant. See this weird movie!‪ We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community! Be sure to follow them on Twitter @ButWhyThoPC and www.butwhythopodcast.com to check out all their great content.

S4:E03 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Uprising." Fake Inhuman terrorists try to incite fear and hate, and succeed, turning Yo-Yo's closest friends against her and sowing chaos across the country with EMPs. Radcliffe and AIDA cure May, but at what cost? And Gabe knows Daisy's Quake and asks her to leave to help keep Robbie safe. More mini-rants include: where things are filmed in real life, the S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. headquarters the Playground's mysterious location/layout breaks our brains, and a surprise discussion about Uncle Eli brings up a Comics Connection an episode early!

S4:E02 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Meet the New Boss." Daisy and Robbie continue to fight/bond as superheroes do, we meet the new "Inhuman" S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. director, and Fitz and Mack meet some more unfriendly ghosts while May's stuck living in a horror movie-themed Instagram filter!  And mini-rants include: do we have to wait for the old guard to die for significant LGBTQIA rep to appear onscreen in the MCU, or Star Wars, or other Disney properties?

S4:E01 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “The Ghost." But we spend the first 20 minutes ranting about how upset we were the Hulu Ghost Rider show that was a semi-spin off the S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. arc that begins this episode was cancelled before it began. S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. has a new director, Fitz and Radcliffe are about to cross the threshold of the singularity, and Daisy is an outlaw...and a goth! All this, and traumatizing media from our childhoods.

S3:E21-22 Jared and Jess recap and discuss “Absolution and Ascension.” The S.H.I.E.L.D. team takes on Hive and the Inhuman Primitives in the two part season three finale! Daisy goes through withdrawals from Hive's influence, Hive and Lincoln blow up good (yay!) and we get a flashforward to a very new status quo. Also, we go off about spoilers, and the Mandalorian and our precious Baby Yoda. We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

S3:E20 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Emancipation." But first we spend 20 minutes talking about Disney+’s pre-release testing put Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as their number one show, and the future of the MCU on the streaming service, because that's what we do! In the aftermath of Civil War and the Sokovia Accords the S.H.I.E.L.D. is asked to register their Inhuman assets, making their identities public, and Hive's "Inhuman Primitive" plan get's closer to completion, before Daisy's connection to Hive is severed as Lash serves his ultimate purpose.

S3:E19 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Failed Experiments." The S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. team takes over the Lincoln shade for us as we meet prehistoric Kree Reapers and Hive’s plot progresses as Daisy gives her Kree-infused blood to help further Holden's experiments.  All this and, is Santa Claus a Klingon??

S3:E18 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “The Singularity!" The S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. team remains convinced they can save Daisy from Hive's control and Fitz and Simmons recruit transhumanist Holden Radcliffe, played by John Hannah, a favorite of ours from the Mummy who we won't shut up about! Hive's growing Inhuman army attacks Fitzsimmons and Hive channels Will (AKA Mike the Astronaut), leading Jemma to push their relationship to the next level. We have a brief diversion about male victims of sexual harassment and abuse. And another, much more light-hearted diversion about the surprising depth of Schitt's Creek.

And follow us on Twitter: @projectTAHITI, send us an email: projectTAHITIpod@gmail.com, and rate/review us on iTunes!

S3:E17 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “The Team!" As Daisy's Secret Warriors team of Inhumans are finally activated to save the rest of S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D., Hive turns one of "the team," and everyone turns on each other. With the Inhuman agents now impossible to trust, seeds of suspicion, paranoia and prejudice are sown in this well done if not familiar feeling episode. It's a Lincoln-heavy episode, so that's pretty rough, but we get some justifiable Lincoln hate, so it works out. Plus, we have another mini-episode of Project Battlestar-cast, and we get into Jeph Loeb's removal from Marvel Television. We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

S3:E16 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Paradise Lost" where we learn Malick's true history, and Daisy and Lincoln learn more about "Ward" through a new (almost) Inhuman who allows us to continue our fascination with Australia! Plus, we have another mini-episode of Project Battlestar-cast, and we get into Jeph Loeb's removal from Marvel Television. We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

S3:E15 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Spacetime." Daisy and the S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. team encounter a real clairvoyant, setting up some longterm plot threads that pay off for seasons to come, and some math nerd stuff comes into play as Fitz gets into the very nature of "Spacetime"!

S3:E14 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Watchdogs." We finally meet Mack's brother! A former S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. Agent resurfaces with an online hate-group, the Watchdogs, as they take their fight offline and start imploding ATCU facilities with old S.H.I.E.L.D.‪ tech. Coulson and (sigh) Lincoln investigate, Mack has a family reunion, and we dedicate some time to politics, as we do, and...why, Grace & Frankie, of course!

S3:E13 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Parting Shot." We say goodbye to a pair of our favorite S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. Agents, go on a bit of a rant (shocking!) on brand names replacing proper names of objects, nonsense sci-fi comic book concepts, and are exasperated by the way television failed S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. fans and their "Marvel's Most Wanted" spin-off. We will miss Bobbi and Hunter so much! All that, and we revolutionize the very idea of spoiler sections. We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

And follow us on Twitter: @projectTAHITI, send us an email: projectTAHITIpod@gmail.com, and rate/review us on iTunes!

S3:E12 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “The Inside Man." We have the best time laughing at Talbot as he and Coulson are forced to work together. Crusher Creel returns, the Ward-suit-wearing Inhuman leader continues to do his thing, and Malick nearly thwarts Coulson when he forces Talbot's blustering, pretty damn racist hand.

S3:E11 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Bouncing Back." We're tired, out of it, and frankly, wacky this episode, but we get introduced to Elena "Yo-Yo" Rodriguez, so it's also pretty great! More from creepy Hydra Jesus Ward as well, and the return of "the Memory 'Sheen." We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

S3:E10 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Maveth." More action from Daisy’s Inhuman squad, including rookie Joey (yay!) against the Iron Chef to rescue Jemma, Fitz gets catharsis with Mike*I mean Will, May blows the castle and gives up on Andrew/Lash, and Couslon and a zealously Hydra Ward face off in an incredible showdown on the alien world.

S3:E09 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Closure." A brutal loss that hits Couslon very hard leads to a discussion of the unfortunate continued use of fridging as a trope in popular fiction. Ward is brought further into the depths of Hydra, Simmons is tortured, and Fitz breaks. Coulson gets intense and things ramp up as they lead into the second part of mid-season finale. Also, we talk about the amazing podcast by Nicole Byers, Why Won't You Date Me?, and some nonsense from a comic book "news" site. We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

S3:E08 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Many Heads, One Tale." Coulson overcompensates and interrogates Rosalind, FitzSimmons learn about Will’s past with Hydra, as Ward learns about Hydra’s past from Malick. And in the process we learn Rosalind’s true motivations with Coulson, and spoil the MCU and future episodes in the middle of the episode and begin to segue seamlessly into a Battlestar Galactica Podcast.

S3:E06 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Chaos Theory" after a long hiatus. We go through the recent Marvel announcements for the film slate and Disney+, and confront Andrew with May over his big secret. Lincoln returns (groan) and a huge confrontation goes down between the team, Lash and the ATCU. We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

S3:E06 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Among Us Hide..." The truth about Lash destroys us, and one of our S.H.I.E.L.D. team emotionally, May replaces Hunter with Bobbi in the hunt for Ward. And Daisy and Coulson butt heads over his working with ATCU and their treatment of Inhumans (we hate it when they fight!) and we meander into talk of serious issues.

S3:E05 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “4,722 Hours," and Jemma finally divulges what happened to her during her time away. The truth is a heartbreakingly good 45 minutes of television. We discuss some season 6 spoilers in this one! Also: S.H.I.E.L.D.! Of! Fortune! We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

S3:E04 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Devils You Know," where the SHIELD/ATCU team-up finds out more about their mysterious killer, Lash. And May and Hunter go after Ward, but at what cost?

S3:E03 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “A Wanted (Inhu) Man”. It’s a very Lincoln-centric episode so that means the Lincoln-bashing is on high alert. Oh, and Coulson makes a deal with his new lady friend Rosalind. We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

S3:E01 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss the Season 3 premiere, “Laws of Nature”. We catch up with the cast of S.H.I.E.L.D. and find a group still reeling from the events of the Season 2 finale, and picking up the pieces, and are introduced to a few new foes/foils in Lash and Rosalind Price. And, as always, we bag on Lincoln pretty hard, and it sends us down a weird rabbit hole to Australia animal stories! We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

S2:E21-22 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “S.O.S. Part 1 and 2.” What an end to a season! There’s pain, loss, and triumph. Skye loses people she’s come to love, Coulson loses an appendage, but in the end, SHIELD moves forward. We fit in some Ward hate, some Lincoln hate, and some Mack love, as well as a #RathmanWatch moment, because that's what we do. We’re a proud part of the But Why Tho Podcast Community!

S2:E20 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Scars”. Jiaying and Gonzales show their true colors just in time for Coulson to find a balance in being the Director of a joint S.H.I.E.L.D. Fair warning, the comic connections section is the first 20 minutes, and is mostly about the joys of letting go of specific adaptational expectations, and Jared may go into a Pride/general representation rant about how certain franchises and shows are putting Marvel to shame.

S2:E19 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “The Dirty Half Dozen”. The old team is back together and it's weird, because *WARD*, and we don’t like it. Also, James Gunn re-hiring diversions, spoilers for Spider-Man: Far From Home trailers, love for Chloe Bennet and hate for Tom Cruise, and shocking everyone, I'm sure, one of our co-hosts talks about DuckTales.

S2:E17 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Melinda”. We finally find out the story behind May's 'The Cavalry' moniker, and how intimately tied it is to Skye and her people. Oddly enough, we struggled to find things to talk about in this episode given how emotionally powerful it is! But hopefully the tangents are entertaining.

S2:E16 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “Afterlife”. Skye wakes up in a safe place and meets her “Transitioner”, which, admittedly is a mediocre character. We are not the biggest fans.
