This week we talk about Fitz’s notable absence, the Kree’s agenda or lack thereof, Deke’s reluctant heroism, Jemma’s dangerous knee-jerk reaction, and the new dynamic for the team overall.

Ooh, a great theory Dave on the placement of May’s injury!
I’m definitely curious to see why the group was kidnapped instead of being asked for their help.
I really hope they don’t do a Deke/Daisy romance during this because 1) we have enough romances going on currently and 2) just because she’s single doesn’t mean Daisy would want to date every guy who she looks at; let Daisy stay single this season…unless you’re going to hook her up with Jemma then I’m all for that as it’s been years since their flirtation started! 🙂
I’m 50/50 on Daisy destroying the world as on the one hand Deke doesn’t have a reason to lie that we know of so it could be she did it or it could be as said a misinformation point on his end; I think they’ll say Daisy is powerful enough to do it if she did but the question is was it willingness or accidental if she did it.
Maybe Fitz will work with Framework Ward thus we get Brent on as supposedly he’s going to be in the season and he’ll essentially be the messenger between the times using Deke’s program as a meeting place to deliver messages for the group.
While they have them up there it would be cool to see a Jemma-Elena moment because I can’t remember them ever having a moment together, Elena is usually with Mack so as you said now’s the chance to really mix up the players and see who works well with each other.
A great return podcast; it really helped me feel more grounded than the episode itself and I’d give it a low good rating hearing your comments because I’m still not exactly crazy about the plot so far as there’s too many unknowns to say if I like the direction but the episode was a more intriguing return hearing your gap fillers than having a giant guessing game until next episode!
