I really thought they would bring xena back as a mutant. Weird having her in the photo shots on cast for just one episode. She must being needing money.

They might bring her back as a cyborg, because the writers made such a point to have her arm cut off first. The Army took possession of the wreck; it's not beyond this show to have Talbot replace the body and mechanize her.

Tuesday's episode was awesome.

Whole season's been awesome so far.

Another good one. They've done a tremendous job this season, especially like how there's been no redemption arc for Ward.

Minor quibble: I wish they had made Scarlotti a little more effective. He's Blacklash in the comics and known for his whip, so I was glad to see the whip-chain come out, but it ended up relatively short, and he got rather predictably beat up by the show's I-always-win character.

Otherwise, it was a really good episode. They're building towards the end of the season really well.

So the city has got to be Attilan, right?

You might have spoken too soon on that...

Though I think they'll continue to play Ward as a total wild card with his own agenda (and still a total sociopath, of course).

Yeah, that's evil ward dropping off "presents". That's not ward working his way back onto the team. Hell, he's about to kidnap his brother.

I wouldn't be against a redemption arc of some kind over the long term, I just didn't want to see one at the beginning of this season. So it's all good for me.

It's a pretty neat and unique circumstance in any case.

My first thought was the Kree capital on Halla, but Attilan also popped up, given it's a helluva lot closer than Halla. Also, the Inhumans were created by the Kree so that would be a tie-in to the host on Tahiti.

So skyy's mom was killed by hydra? And skyy taken by shield?

And Skyy's mom had the fountain of youth within her.

I like Ward as a bad guy. And I like Skyy's father as an anti-hero.

Been a great season so far.

Also, are they setting us up for another infinity gem with whatever us inside the obelisk?

EDIT:
Apparently the Time Gem was at one time protected by Captain America (Agent Carter connection?) before vanishing and has the power to control aging. Maybe that ability was imparted to Skyy's mom and somehow Whitehall got it?

Yeah, I'm not sure how after that last episode there's any possibility of redemption with Ward. Unless it's some deep cover bullshit (emphasis on bullshit) that Coulson somehow set in motion.

Very interesting dynamic to have such a hardcore bad guy as part of the main cast, not really working with them, not really working against them. I like it.

Sky's father is definitely out to murderate Whitehall as viciously as he can for what happened to his wife. That could get interesting.

They definitely threw a lot of hints down of a possible Inhuman connection with Sky. Whitehall (or Rheinhart) talked about blue men coming to earth to destroy it and that very well could have been the Kree that came to create the Inhumans. So far, Sky has not reacted to the Kree blood like Coulson did, which means she may have had it all along.
