AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. 3x8 REACTION | Many Heads, One Tale | First Time Watching | Review

[@chunkykitten]

Terrigen doesn't kill people, it never has. The Diviners killed non-inhuman people who touched them or the metal that bled into the crystals that Jiaying grew from them.

[@doomse150]

I know that that's the way things were established, but based on that, I don't quite understand what killed Trip in the diviner room, because he very explicitly crushed the crystals and not the casing.

[@DD-pi1ks]

⁠@@doomse150I’m pretty sure he destroyed the encasing as well. When the crystals exploded, shrapnel from the encasing also exploded, which embedded into Trip’s skin.

[@dondumitru7093]

Yes. Jiaying explained that they melted down Diviners in order to get to the Terrigen crystals inside, but they weren't able to prevent the Diviner metal from being mixed with the crystal. Since the Diviner metal was not lethal to Inhumans, they didn't really try very hard to come up with a way to separate the metal from the crystals they had. But pure Terrigen, from another source, does not have the Diviner metal embedded in it. (Or you can just dissolve Terrigen in salt water to separate it out. But ssshhhh, let's not look too closely at that.) Jiaying's explanation was given very quickly, and it was delivered in the moments before Gonzalez was killed, so people remember Gonzalez dying but not the explanation about the crystals.

[@doomse150]

@@DD-pi1ks That's fair. I though that with the case folding itself flat, the crystal bursting shouldn't damage it, but I can see how that doesn't necessarily make sense.

[@DeejaLurge]

"You dove through a hole in the universe for me!!" tears. every time. these two give me hope real love exists.

[@joluoto]

The amount of Terrigen in those pills does nothing to a human, but it's enough to trigger Inhuman metamorphosis.

[@mydavegabicycle]

I always forget how badass the Ward fight scenes are, because they seem so natural to him. A family friendly show that aired on ABC when it did isn't supposed to have sequences that good. The Fitzsimmons development here is what i always remember but on rewatching this, I bet they told the guy playing Ward to just be as badass as possible here as this is peak Ward. Even his one-liners are great.

[@Ernwaldo]

I have been puzzled for years as to why Brett Dalton hasn’t been featured in more live action shows or films.

[@Ernwaldo]

4:31 I just watched _THE X-FILES_ episode with Constance Zimmer (Rosalind), and here you point to your “I WANT TO BELIEVE” poster. Awesome. I came to appreciate her in this role. Will say no more…

[@jameswestbyTC27]

Ward using the culinary blowtorch on Malicks guys is so sadistic and brutal 😬😅. I love the Hydra lore in this ep.

[@WhiteFangofWar]

This one and the next 2 are some of my favorites in the series. Really shows how good they've gotten at pairing characters who play off each other well for 5 tangentially-related concurrent plotlines. Lots of Hydra history revealed, including the thing they're always saying 'Heil' to.

[@Ernwaldo]

10:44 Such a fantastic scene! 1) For callbacks. 2) As foreshadowing. 3) A display of talent for the two best actors (imho) on this show.

[@iCyberDev]

29:10 - 30:00 The choice in words in there is... fascinating lol.

[@MarkFaamaoni]

The Fitz Simmons scene was a microcosm of all of the things that make this show so good. There was the very obvious way they could have taken this story, with Fitz being jealous and sabotaging any attempt to bring Will home. But this was both much more interesting and true to the characters. Same with the May/Lincoln scene. It could have zigged, but they zagged. Along with never letting mysteries drag out too long, the ability to successfully bring together multiple seemingly unrelated plotlines together for each seasons' finale, and actors that bring it each and every week, I think Agents of SHIELD is IMHO, very underrated. Its grown to be my favourite Marvel property, Agent Coulson my favourite Marvel character, and its one of my favourite TV shows of all time.

[@a.j.5380]

Can’t wait for episode 10. A great close to the first half of the season.

[@daniellanctot6548]

*_Ward Indeed became a great vilain: That scene on the plane always makes me wish we could see a James Bond vs. Grant Ward show off! (My money's on WARD!)_* *_The addition of Powers Boothe (RIP) as Gideon Malick, the Head of HYDRA, was a masterful acquisition for the show: The link back to the first The Avengers movie and the World Council was already a wonderful MCU link, but Boothe's powerful voice and his acting really helped to create a great "Vilain in the Shadows". Also love how the HYDRA-lore was pushed back to being ancient, far older than Red Skull; and that the latter was but one fanatic member of HYDRA who basically went rogue and tried to achieve HYDRA's dream of world domination without bringing back the ancient inhuman. Gave the organization so much more depth!_* 29:13 - 😳... 🤫 *_Hold that thought!_* 😅

Gotta love when a usually innocuous phrase is dead-on 😂

[@EclecticMuse4]

Omn1 tearing up a bit at the Fitzsimmons first kiss 😭 ONE OF US! ONE OF US! I think you really read the whole situation with them perfectly. To sum it up with Fitzsimmons, it's always something...

[@serenity4eva89]

Truly 😉

[@jessicamagri8211]

Damn dude, I really thought you would have a more visceral/cheering reaction to the Fitzsimmons kiss lol 😅. We waited almost two and a half seasons for that! I still remember when it aired on my screen live 9 years ago- as a newly-minted fangirl, it was a pretty awesome moment 😆🥹

[@Omn1Media]

I couldn't really be happy for it because of everything involved around it, just like they were feeling once it ended. It's not the victory it should be...yet. Still waiting on that!

[@po5283]

The people sent through the portal were humans sent as a sacrifice to the ancient inhuman. In the meantime, Hydra is trying to turn and gather as many inhumans as possible for when they can bring the ancient one back, they will be his army.

[@jadedavis2127]

Season 3 is a lot of people's favorites 🎉

[@silvasurfa7962]

Ironic since it's many of the cast and crews least favorite.

[@notavailable8514]

@@silvasurfa7962 I had no idea. How come?

[@silvasurfa7962]

​@@notavailable8514due to the massive rewrites that take place from 3x10 until the season finale. I won't spoil here, but it's work checking out interviews. Elizabeth Henstridge has a YT channel where she did AOS rewatches with cast & crew. They reveal quite a bit there 👍

[@lordfoul6259]

When Malik was telling Ward about the inhuman they're trying to bring back it really reminded me of Abeloth from the legends Star Wars books

[@sessmurda]

Good reaction as always. In terms of the portal and Inhumans, they are stockpiling Inhumans now and sending Hydra humans as sacrifices over the generations. Your questions about what is going on between Hydra and the Inhuman god on the other side will be answered.

[@ewan0707]

15:40 Well funny you should ask 👀 Can't wait for the next two episodes

Rewatching now and answering a different question: they say the ATCU was giving out the fish oil to everyone, they put most people in stasis except Giyera, the powered guy they fight at the end that you recognized.

[@serenity4eva89]

"'Cause we're cursed. The bloody cosmos wants us to be apart" - Fitz "The cosmos doesn't want anything" - Simmons FITZSIMMONS KISS 🥹 Indeed, HYDRA has a habit of messin' with 0-8-4s... Red Skull wanted the Tesseract (AKA Space Stone), he got it and it sent his ass to Vormir forever. Malick wants the Inhuman leader (a Kree experiment)... will he get it? And if he does, what will it do to him or for him? We shall see 😉

[@CrossOutBryce]

The next 2 episodes vault this show into a new TIER of quality and storytelling -- and it never dips below after that.

[@anonymousgirl4605]

Think about it. There are sacrifices being sent over to this Inhuman through the portal, and so far we know the Inhuman can possess, or even assume the victims' corpses. For example, we saw the corpse of a NASA astronaut in one of the sandstorms Jemma was running from in episode 5 I think. That was the Inhuman possessing the corpse.. They sent Inhumans through the portal who never came back.

[@notavailable8514]

Quick amendment... If it's a sacrifice to the Inhuman on Maveth, or it's possessing the body of whoever is sent, the sacrifice sent through the portal has to be human, not Inhuman. Slight spoiler... The Inhuman on Maveth can't assume the corpse of, specifically, inhuman bodies.

[@anonymousgirl4605]

@notavailable8514 you're correct. I was just trying to avoid talking about the Inhumans part since that is a spoiler lol.

[@randomeditor247]

I really like Rosalind and Coulson too, their banter is unmatched. Yesss, finally the FitzSimmons kiss has happened! I understand why Jemma was upset, she wasn't mad at Fitz she felt guilty that he was helping so much when he had a right to be angry at her. I hate Ward but he was pretty sick this episode. Love learning the deep Hydra history. Great reaction as always!

I think this is the most badass Ward has ever been in the show. I can’t help but love him.

Yeah, rogue Ward is a force of nature. Those thugs Malick left for him were a cake walk. A snack. He's brutally efficient but also greatly enjoys it.
