geebsTV commentary:
Agents of SHIELD- Wow, that was kinda a hearbreaking ep. I mean, it started off light and sweet, with Coulson and making his own soap and treating the whole being a spy trapped in a VR world with amazement and wonder. But then thinks go dark real fast.
Lemme just say, its kinda amusing that changing that one aspect of May's life, her not taking out that Inhuman girl, leads to Hydra creating a police state? I mean, its interesting, because that was supposed to be the incident that made May happy, that she wasn't forced to kill what she saw was an innocent and becoming the cold-ass "The Cavalry". But then the girl ends up committing an even worse act, and I think that caused Framework her to snap. So now she's like this ruthless, mean bitch.
We finally see Mack, who has his daughter Hope, who is a totally sweetie and incredibly smart and he's overly protective of her. So protective that he ends up betraying Daisy. He gets captured, and May interrogates him, and he's all, "I'll do anything to protect my daughter!"
We don't see what May offered, but next scene we see him, Daisy goes to see him alone, and he acts like he's woke. And Daisy is all, "Oh, thank god!" and starts talking about how she's going to get him out of there and how Yo-Yo is worried. And when he doesn't react, she realizes her fatal mistake and figures out he's tricked her.
Daisy manages to almost escape, but May and her team capture her and beat the crap out of her. If there's a silver lining, after Mack sees the bloody and beaten Daisy, he feels incredibly guilty and seeks out SHIELD because he can't look his daughter in the eye anymore.
Anyways, while this is going on, Jemma, Coulson, and Ward find Radcliffe. Too bad there's an alarm around his island telling Aida (or rather, Ophelia, as she finds the use of "Artificial" incredible offensive) someone's there. So she and Fitz show up and Hydra manages to find Agnes.
Now, we find out more about what's going on with Fitz. Ophelia has him thinking there's a Fringe thing going on. How she's from the "Other Side", where SHIELD won, and they were keeping her as a slave until she managed to escape. And now people like Jemma and Daisy are people from the Other Side trying to invade and replace them.
So, Fitz has Agnes at gunpoint, threatening to kill her unless Radcliffe explains what the hell is going on. Radcliffe tries to appeal to their time spent together, mentions Jemma and their love.
All the while, Ward is ready to snipe Fitz and Madame Hydra to save Agnes life. Jemma begs him not to, how she loves Fitz and deep down he's not a killer and that he'd never shoot Agnes, that Ward has to trust her.
Only Fitz totally executes Agnes, and Jemma pops out from her hiding place, devastated. Fitz does seem to be affected upon seeing Jemma's heartbroken face. But it didn't snap him out of it yet, because at the end of the ep he's all ready to torture Daisy.
So man, even though this is all a simulation, everyone is going to be traumatized when they get out. And like Agnes died for real, so that wasn't a simulation, Fitz really killed her.
The Expanse- I would totally post the Tyra Banks, "I trusted you" gif right here if I knew how. You know, Errinwright taking responsibility for what he did, I respect that.
And to be fair, I don't think he had always planned to do what he did- I don't think he was playing Chrisjen initially, he seemed legitimately sorry. But I think the way things played out, with Mao calling her to make a deal, made him rethink his position.
So, while Chrisjen was secretly meeting with Mao with Draper and Cotyar as her protection, Errinwright meets with his Martian counterpart and poisons him, then blows up the secret black ops ship that was doing the protomolecule research.
As he tells Chrisjen in a video message to Mao, he's just doing what he taught her, and that's to put Earth first. After this Eros incident, he was willing to throw himself on his sword, but then Mao and the Martians made it perfectly clear they'd go right on experimenting. So he basically said, eff it. Why should he play good and let the "bad guys", continue doing what they're doing?
Back on Ganymede, Naomi is trying to save the refugees, but turns out the lady who captains the Somnambulist and was going to take everyone off finds out the pump that would fill the ship's air tanks failed. So even though they have room for everyone, they have enough air for 50.
Captain lady and Amos think they need to lift off now, that the refugees will riot and kill them and everyone will die. But Naomi won't be dissuaded, and she does succeed in convincing them to follow their better selves and respectfully stand by and only let 50 people on the ship.
They still have to worry about the blockade, but luckily, even though Holden was dead set on killing the escaped proto-molecule creature, the other manage to snap of him out of it so Alex can fly back to the Somnambulist and provide cover.
