Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I got my movie ticket for tonight.

So, catching up on SHIELD. It seems like the past few episodes have been a lot of the writers giving the current real world a giant middle finger.
All the ones you mentioned, plus "Alternative Facts."
Which makes it all the more shitty that we've apparently lost both Tripp AND Mac to the Framework - we've brought in every real-world social justice movement except Black Lives Matter? Fuck. That.
(Yes, obviously Tripp was dead already in the real world and we still could get Mac back if they have to go back in to rescue Fitz. But still.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, I was torn on that. On one hand, a single black father who chooses his child over himself. On the other hand, do you really want that shot of three black people being left behind in the Nazi-run dystopia?

Somehow I don't think the writers got together and said "Hey, let's kill all the black folks!"

No, they never do.

Right? And like I said, Mac might still make it back. Someone's going in after Fitz, after all.

Strawman.
They also didn't get together and say "Hey guys, we just killed all the black folks - maybe we should rethink this."

I'm pretty confident that Mac will make it back.
In other news, this is not a good look for the Inhumans.
The showrunner for Inhumans is the same guy who made Iron Fist, which should tell you all you need to know.

I'm sure you know best.
