Do we think they should have hit the parallel stronger, between Bucky being triggered by the code phrases and Tony being triggered by the video of his parents being murdered?
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

No, because then it would have been unsubtle, and they managed to make Civil War so much closer to that than the comics ever did, thank fuck.

I mean, they did a lot of that kind of paralleling throughout. Wanda going to save Steve and then miscalculating in the heat of the moment, Vision's error with Rhodey while trying to further his side's mission. More that I'll probably think of after an additional infusion of coffee.

So they're going to kill someone off next week on S.H.I.E.L.D. And they just had Fitz and Simmons finally hook up. And it's not like they haven't pulled this kind of shit before.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
And they just had Fitz and Simmons finally hook up.
This is what I get for not being caught up but reading this thread for CA:CW.
But good for them! Unless one of them dies. (I have no idea how many episodes behind I am. Maybe 5? I feel like the last episode I saw was when Bobbi and Lance left. Or maybe the one after that, except I can't really remember what happened.)

I think they're teasing us with cross roulette. Mack has it, Fitz has it in the previews, I'm hoping Lincoln ends up with it myself.
I mean, kudos for him playing Daisy and understanding brainwashing means brainwashing, but still. I was not surprised to see he and Mae had a plan, but I was not expecting Lash! Glad to see he caused some damage, but damn, he would have been useful! Kill Hive and cure the infected! That's a purpose-built Inhuman!

Man, I gotta agree with the people that say Andrew, and the May/Andrew relationship really deserved a better story.
Also, certain parts of tumblr are going to be wall-to-wall rage, and not even the parts I usually avoid.

Do I need to avoid SHIELD until I see CA:CW?

At this point I'm thinking avoiding it indefinitely isn't a bad call.
