Dawn ,'Selfless'
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.
Daisy Johnson is the one who recruits Coulson into SHIELD
I didn't know he was in the comics now! Cool.
Man, my turnaround on Skye has been pretty massive. Is that writing, or is the acting improved too? I can't work it out.
She was all sorts of awesome last night, and, acting-wise, I thought she was really good crying to Coulson about not being able to kill her dad.
All I could think when he was humming that song was HAL.
Me too, but that made him calling her Daisy more of a jolt.
I think I'm just gonna be in denial about Tripp for a while. He never got enough screen time.
I'm more than a little upset with Joss about this. How about killing off the british guy? What's he bringing to the party? NOT AS MUCH AS TRIPP. (especially since I can't even remember his name!)
Ah, Internet spec is that Mr. No Eyes is Reader, who was just introduced in comics a few months ago. His power is to turn whatever he reads into reality, so the Inhumans blinded him. Now he sees telepathically through his dog or something? I don't know. Comics.

I was just commenting to Tim that there's not just *one* super-intelligent gorilla/ape in DC; there are so many that you have to rank them by weirdness (Grodd is the LEAST weird). I love how casual weird shit is in comics. I would say weird shit doesn't translate well from the page to the screen, but then I remember Groot.
Seriously, there are so many fully sentient, talking gorillas at DC it would have been easier to just establish that the whole species developed speech and culture in parallel to humanity.
DC comics believed that placing a gorilla on a comic book cover, regardless of the context or relevance, would automatically correspond with an increase in sales for that title.
Our contemporary interest in All Things Zombie will look similarly weird in a decade.
(It already looks weird to me.)
So Tripp is dead but Mack is alive? Sigh. I was kind of thinking Fitz might bite it when he ran off by himself. But yeah, I'm on board with sacrificing Hunter instead: he's just Not. Interesting. to me.
I jumped out of my chair when Skye shot Ward: SO AWESOME. Way to go, girl! I knew he wasn't going to be dead but I'm still so pleased.
Nice to see Bobbie survived, as well.
But I'm bummed about Trip.
There's a photo going around Tumblr of Clark Gregg holding up a post-it with #TripLives on it. No idea what to make of it.
