No, I don't think so. They talk about the Sokovia Accords but nothing really about any of the characters from the movie.
edit: so who is socially and politically appropriate to have die off?
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

I've actually really been enjoying this season, but the last couple episodes have been kind of dull.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
At this point I'm thinking avoiding it indefinitely isn't a bad call.
Yeah, I'm not super motivated to catch up.

TV seasons are too long, I think. They've been setting up and filling till the finale.

Yeah. TCG thinks all shows should be 12 episodes or less. I tend to agree. He is hesitant to take on new network shows because he doesn't want to commit to 22 episodes.

I like the way they've done two sort-of mini-seasons with the fall and spring halves.

Yes. I like that trend in general, but I thought the first arc was much stronger than the second one this season.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
AOS can kill anyone in the finalé except Mac. Mac would be unacceptable, to me.
For those looking for Stucky fic, I love Owlet's work: [link] It was all written pre-CACW, and will not be canon compliant for it. But there's a lot of good "Did Hydra never hear of a hair tie" bits and an appropriate respect for coffee.
I'm going to see CACW again this weekend. It was nicely complex, and I think there are a lot of details that would repay repeat viewing (and not just CE's biceps).

I actually think AOS has picked up a bit since Daisy turned. There was a definite treading-water feel while Hive was just lurking around being smirky.

I was impressed that Hive was perfectly happy pulling all of Daisy's blood. His agenda is wonderfully, well, inhuman. The actor (I always blank on his name) is terrific. That little tic in Hive's jaw when he saw Lash was marvelous. Just a little "Oops. Did not see that one coming."
