Ugh. The combination does not bode well.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

The mid-season start is so The Inhumans can air for its run. Agents was already set up to have a shorter series to run in that slot as well, see Agent Carter. I think a shorter season makes for better writing, in any case. Friday night is worrisome.

Wait, they're debuting the Inhumans series in the Friday Death Slot?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Weirdly, the Inhumans will premier in IMAX theaters before it gets shown on TV.
And the showrunner for the Inhumans is the same guy who was in charge of Iron Fist, so.

So any guesses why Coulson's on a rundown spaceship/station?
I am kind of annoyed they went through all the trouble of resurrecting SHIELD as a real organization this season just to blow it up again.

I want to know what deal Phil made with The Rider.
edit: I'm wondering if the space station is a variation on the Negative Zone prison.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
What was the thing that froze the team for a two minute window? Who took them?

Different topic... I'm reading Ms. Marvel and really enjoying it, but some of the crossover stuff seems to presume the reader is following the entire Marvel catalog. The most confusing bit involves The Inhumans and their control (or lack of) of New Attilan. Does it matter that I have no clue what is happening there? Also, is there a recent-ish entry point to Carol Danvers story or am I better off finding a summary of her history somewhere?

Yeah, I have no clue who took the main characters or how they froze them.
My first thought is SWORD (which in the comics is a sister organization to SHIELD focused on cosmic threats) if only because of the super tech and then Coulson ending up in space, but that's just a wild guess. I thought maybe they were setting stuff up for Captain Marvel, but then I saw that movie isn't coming out until 2019, so it'd be too soon.

Infinity War is going to be pretty darn Cosmic.
However, the TV side of Marvel (Jeph Loeb, Ike Perlmutter) isn't talking much with the movie side of Marvel (Kevin Feige) these days.
