It was probably a red herring.Darth_Payn said:
Well, they surly have the rights to Guardian, Vindicator, Marrina, Sasquatch, Shaman and Snowbird since none of them are mutants. Really Aurora and Northstar are the only mutants on the team, and you could have a movie about the Flight without them. What I want to know is, will we see anyone from Department H at all? And if they are in the MCU, as are S.W.O.R.D., is A.R.M.O.R., S.T.R.I.K.E., EuroM.I.N.D. and S.H.A.P.E. there?faefrost said:

No, Hand. Who would have thought that the villainous looking hardass character with the villainous name would end up being the villain?Hafrael said:
I am not crazy about watching 13 episodes of a show in the hope it will get good. If it has good characters and writing, then I am hooked. I find it hard to care about unravelling plots when the episodes are a drag. The pilots are forgivable, but if you don't have me by episode 2 then you don't have me. You could argue that since the standard of t.v. is higher nowadays. People are less likely to tolerate crap t.v. I am a fan of marvel AND good tv and agents of shield did not do it for me at all.wiz828 said:It's just such a shame that the show is getting so good, while the ratings keep getting worseI think sometime in the future this show will make a great example of how the entertainment-media landscape has changed in the early 21st century. 20 years ago audiences would have had to give this show the time it needed to find its footing and would be much more inclined to keep watching it, nowadays the supply of tv shows is just so overwhelming, especially on cable, audiences will move away after a bad start.
it'd be an interesting plot twist, but in the universe they've established.. highly improbable for a whole host of reasons, not least of which is her ordering herself shot.. ( i mean, really who does that? ) and you're really giving her too-much credit.. I mean just look at her attempt to infiltrate shield and the massive pig's ear she made of it.. she's a conspiracy-nut-geek-hacker-cracker- and general plot key. who lived in a van, a brilliant one at times but that doesn't really speak to serious connections to anything.. but obviously deception is the name of the game here i suppose.Redd the Sock said:
I'll admit, a lot of my theory is based off typical story structure for things like this. Big bits about trust usually end in a double cross. A lot of it fits. The "let yourself get injured to make yourself seem more legit" is old spy trope, as is understating ability and manipulation to make sure everyone thinks they are making their own choices, not the ones you want them to make. As for outing her tactics, the same thing happened in the comics with Secret Invasion. Alien shape shifters infiltrated everywhere and just before making their move, outed their infiltration so the the heroes would feel they couldn't trust each other for fear they were being played. Now she's isolated Coulson who won't trust any agent with sufficient clearance and starts infighting while looking innocent by pointing it all out. While they fight each other, she gains full access to everything SHIELD knows that she couldn't get at ground level.The Lugz said:
Guardian / Vindicator (The first), Sasquatch, Snowbird, Shaman, Aurora and Northstar all began more or less as X Men antagonists with heavy ties to, and seeking to bring back Wolverine. They play heavily and directly into Wolvies backstory, which puts them in a grey area. Whereas Puck, Marina and Box, etc did not appear until Alpha Flight got their own book and have no real ties to the X Men. Marvel / Disney will probably avoid any characters that might conflict or cause confusion with Fox's X movies. They are still livid over Quicksilver.Zontar said:
