Wahoo! Agent Carter was the one show I was really crossing my fingers for. Probably doesn't hurt that she appears in a movie which just earned back most of its quarter billion dollar production budget in the first weekend.

I have the sense, although I don't really have any basis for it, that that conversation got into more detail as to exactly what her plan/goal is and how Cal being held by SHIELD can help.

This would annoy be a little. The scene was supposed to convey Cal's willingness to do a selfless act to protect his family. It's not selfless if they instead launched a plan for him to play trojan horse. It's also lazy writing. If he's part of Jaiying's plot, don't show us the conversations that just don't happen to mention that they're colluding so we'll be "surprised" later.

I'll miss Gonzales. When she infected him, I was hoping he would turn out to be a Cylon Inhuman and survive it.

The movie tie-ins were embarrassingly blatant. Notwithstanding, the movie was awesome! (Just saw it last night.) Can't wait for new MCU thread.

Speaking of, will we be discussing AoS in the MCU thread?

Yes, as well as Agent Carter.

It's entirely possible that Cal decided to play Trojan horse all on his own, given that he's kind of a loose cannon and hates Coulson. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Jiyaing agreed to Cal's "selfless" offer because she suspected he'd go all rage monster.

That I could live with.

I just hope Cal survives whatever rage induced shenanigans he gets up to at SHIELD HQ because Kyle MacLachlan has been delightful on AoS and I'd hate to lose him.

Cosigned.

Tomorrow is the two-hour finale. Anticipation ....

Let's see--Gonzalez dead, Inhumans attacking, Cal will probably lay waste to Phil's nice base on his way to eviscerate Phil, Skye will have to choose sides, Ward doing whatever but evilly, Gemma kicking surprising ass, Fitz being brilliant and cunning, hopefully Mack got out before the carnage begins otherwise he's toast, and perhaps a surprise Avenger appearance, a la last year? Perhaps Fury himself will show up again? I bet Phil's about to inherit an aircraft carrier.

(comics spoilers) How about a giant bulldog shows up and everyone hugs him and all their problems are solved?

Seriously, though, can how much can Jaiying escalate things before the top-tier Inhumans whose movie won't come out until 2019 and haven't been cast yet show up?
