Marvel's Agents of SHIELD - S4E10 - "The Patriot"

It's not that they can't make more; it's A) that's the only supply he has on hand at the moment, and B) if it falls into the hands of the bad guys, they can reverse engineer it.

 

I've given up actually. I was somewhat enjoying the Ghost Rider storyline, last episode we watched was around Thanksgiving but we still haven't watched the rest and I honestly don't have any desire to watch any more. Asked my wife and she said the same thing. We *love* anything MCU and the Netflix shows are the bomb. But I think we're finally given up on AoS since they refuse to connect it to the MCU anymore and it's like I've been forcing myself to watch just "because". Maybe I'll binge the rest on Netflix this summer... What I've read of the LMD storyline now just makes me roll my eyes and not want to bother.

 

I'm still interested in AoS.

Of course, Fitz and Gemma are eventually going to have a fight over Aida's head. Hopefully, it won't be drawn out and I won't have to ffwd a lot through a lot of scenes.

I'm not sure I know what Aida's creator is trying to do to May.

 

I'm still interested in the show and enjoy it. I'm actually liking Mace now, he seems "real" to me. Yeah, he's a slick operator and a good liar, but he really does want to do good.

The Dr. as villain, is working for me as well. He really wants the magic book of science cause hey, he loved knowledge. But he doesn't want anyone killed

The senator bugs me though. I just hate the trope of "anyone in this group is evil and must be killed regardless". And her brother is a total idiot. "I know you were going to kill me an hour ago because you thought I was inhuman but then I convinced you it was in remission. Now that I've proven that I am inhuman, I will leave the only people who could protect me so you can kill me easily." I know it his sister but when someone was trying to kill me just recently, I don't go with them a moment later.

 

Yeah, just make more serum. He's still going to be the face of SHIELD, so they'll still have to maintain the illusion that he's enhanced ... which he is, even if he isn't an inhuman.

 

He's trying to keep her under in a sort of virtual reality while the May LMD is (unknowingly) doing his bidding.

 

I predict that LMD May will "override" her programming and save the day. Possibly sacrificing herself in the act.

 

I wasn't sure if LMD May knows she is an LMD or not. When she looked at the gash in her back, was she acknowledging it or realizing it?

If the latter, that could be the start of LMD May rebelling.

 

My guess is that she mostly doesn't know, but when she's on-mission or faced with exposure her programming emerges enough to deal with it.

 

I can't recall. Was LMD May present when Mac cut off Aida's head? If so, I think she's more likely to be drawing a similar conclusion. However, seeing as Colson his hand chopped off, and has an artificial replacement, and there are cyborgs like Deathlok, maybe she is just confused.

 

Knowing who Jeff Mace is in the comics, the initial introduction of him as an Inhuman threw me some.

Because in the comics, he was a costumed superhero known as "The Patriot" who was inspired by Captain America during World War II (or just before).
And he wasn't enhanced either.
Just a guy who was a good athlete and fighter.

(In fact, Mace actually was Captain America for a while after Steve Rogers got frozen in the Arctic ice.)

I still enjoy AOS but I have to admit that my enjoyment has lessened now that Mockingbird is gone.

 

It could be a "Westworld" type blind spot where LMD May isn't programmed to see those things.

 

I wonder of we will every see the Marvel's Most Wanted pilot.

 

The doctor being the villain should not be a surprise since he originally was a villain. He was doing illegal human modifications if I remember correctly. They kind of hand waved his coming to work for Shield in the first place.

 

I just caught up on these latest two episodes last night. I still enjoy the show, but it's not a high priority. I'm also quite a bit less interested in the current LMD storyline than I was in the Ghost Rider stuff. There just isn't much you can do with the LMD concept, IMO. The only real story option is "who's going to turn out to be the 'surprise' LMD?"

Anyway, I like it enough to keep watching, but it's pretty clearly never going to be a must-watch-immediately kind of show. (I especially like Fitz, BTW. Ever since his cognitive issues after Ward tried to kill him and Jemma, I think he's had the most interesting ongoing story, and often the best lines.)
