Why is Triplett a guest star if he's been in every episode?

@0mega

I think Deathlok will be brought back in once the Diviner unlocks some powers. He'll be needed to fight Inhuman baddies.

@Wooza

Do you watch? Everything is pointing towards Inhumans.

Hasn't it already been confirmed the Doctor is Mr. Hyde? I think it is going to be a soft launch so that way we know the inhumane are there but no major reveals until around the release of Civil War maybe!

i think Mac has a secret agenda. Maybe Hydra

@80sFace yeah Mac does seem like he's up to something. But I can't tell if it's that or if Henry Simmons just can't act haha

Whedon's shows are notorious for actors remaining "guest stars" for ages before finally making the main cast credits... Sometimes in the very episode in which he kills them off.

Anyway, I'm positive this is setting some backstory to the Inhumans, but they won't find the current Great Refuge or the Inhumans themselves... but likely a prior Inhuman settlement and the opportunity for exposure to the Terrigen mists.

And of course Agent Simmons still needs to have her Hydra brainwashing revealed and betray them all. (Or betray them again, since that's logically the only way Hyrda was waiting for the team in Australia.)

@SkipKahless

I was thinking that too. I read through the guest stars, looking for something unexpected, and *BAM* "Jamie Harris as man" - do I smell an Emmy nomination?! ^^

@locals.. yeah, good point. All the "what's up with Coulson" stuff though sounds like he's trying to sow dissent. A wolf in the henhouse....

Mac is not hydra. His dad was a howling commando. They are totally setting up the Inhumans. Coulson won't get powers just from exposure to Kree blood. Sky however is probably Inhuman as is the Doctor, who seems to know an awful lot. Do we get to find out her name next time? Dr. Pie was about to reveal it. Since the Kree in the fridge was over 5000 years old the settlement that they will find is most likely long abandoned. Will Sky get some powers? maybe. Is she Crystal? maybe.

Of course they have to stretch a full reveal out for about 4 years which would really be a stretch if she turns out to be an inhuman with powers now.

All of it is a tasty riddle to ponder. Thanks Marvel.

Does Patton Oswalt also get to play Joe Koenig?

If Skye is Crystal she would be MCU's first Disney Princess.

"Jamie Harris as man" is not too fishy-sounding.

If that was the ancient city in the promo for the next episode -I don't think it's Attilan as a lot of people speculated. I think it probably is an ancient Kree colony and all we get is Kree added to the AOS venacular. Up to now -no one on earth knows about the Kree.

Anyhow, I only think Skye learns that she is indeed has Kree DNA and that the Kree colony was looking for this possible "lost" colony Attilan where the Inhumans lives. But I doubt the show is going too far and introducing Attilan this far in advance of the Inhumans movie or if the term Inhuman is going to be used at least until Avengers: Age of Ultron. Probably around the time of that movie, Skye learns she is an Inhuman.

Yeah, unfortunately, I think Mack is either hydra or has some kind of agenda for somebody else (Talbot? Stark? Manthing?). I think his betrayal is going to be what brings Fitz and Simmons back together (as friends) and also add to the theme of Fitz just having terrible taste in men.

@Gliderman, Agent Carter is set to air starting January 6th, that's 8 episodes uninterrupted. Then the final 12 episodes of AoS air uninterrupted. If I remember my math correctly, that sets them to finale the final week of May, with Daredevil dropping that Friday.

Skye seems Inhuman for sure, but she just doesn't strike me as Crystal at all.
Certainly can't see her joining the Avengers.

I wonder if AOS will use the Dark Avengers storyline as the post-AOU narrative.

@ScionStorm - "If Skye is Crystal she would be MCU's first Disney Princess."

No, now that Thor's a chick she's the first.
