Obligatory disclaimer: real life sucks, so we are continuing
to talk about AoS. In this week’s episode, Jiaying is dead, and she never learned
that Daisy was her daughter, just as Kora was. Pause.
Again, I may have forgot to mention it, but the entire ‘Daisy
has a half-sister’ plot is yet another reboot, one that is not really compatible
with the earlier episodes slash seasons. After the time storm – something brand
new and original – AoS is back to the tired old clichés, i.e. rebooting and
recycling its’ old ideas, (Nathaniel & Kora aren’t too different from Grant
and Kara, or from Werner and Ruby, for that matter), time mismanagement –
really, we’re having more of the same old hash now, are we? – plot redesigns,
and, also, inconsistency.
Back when S7 began, the team Time Bus was all about how it
was all about preserving the past, only now the past is anything but being preserved
– it is being wildly changed instead. John Garrett is being brought into the
(quasi)-Hydra fold already, way before the Balkans incident, (back in the 1990s,
as opposed to the 1980s), which threatens his connection to Ward, for without
Garrett, Ward would never become involved with S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra; whether
that’s a good thing or not is another question, but the team Time Bus is trying
to preserve the past, the good and the bad of it, not change it, right?
…And speaking of Grant, what about Daisy? Was she conceived and
abandoned already? Because if she wasn’t, then she’s liable to stop existing,
period, once their time travel ends and they settle back down, (in a manner of
speaking)? With the entire old leadership of Li Shi dead, the time line changed
already and possibly for good. What next?
I, for one, have no idea, but it will be interesting to see
as to what will happen next, simply because we are in the finishing stretch,
baby, and no one cares. Rather, everyone’s focus is on Daniel and Daisy, because,
like, they are MCU/S.H.I.E.L.D.’s new couple of darlings or something. Since there
is no indication that ‘Marvel’s AoS’ characters will appear in the future MCU
installments, this doesn’t mean very much.
On the other hand, I’ve to apologize, as I’ve mislead you: ‘The
Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ aren’t coming
to MCU/Disney+ this month, they’re restarting
their airing/shooting this month, and will arrive on MCU/Disney+ later this
year, (2020). Given that we still have nary a sign as to when the re-made ‘Mulan’
Disney movie is coming out, I’m not making any bets on TFATWS, or any other
Marvel/Disney+ shows. Anything else?
…Back in real life, a woman was killed by a great white
shark off the coast of Maine, (which is an American state, cough), just when
NatGeo is thrusting its’ ‘Shark Week’ all over the place: here, there, and
everywhere, even on its’ currently downfallen YouTube channels. The NatGeoWild YouTube channel is not even
worth mentioning, as these days it just features clips from the various NatGeo
(and Animal Planet?) TV series, none of which lately is any good. Then again, there
is the ‘Gordon Ramsey Unchained’ show… pause.
Earlier this year, the NatGeo YouTube channel aired plenty
of Gordon Ramsey’s adventures abroad, but now, as his final – for the S2,
anyways – Norwegian episode was aired, the two YouTube channels fell out of
sync. Did the NatGeo leadership and team Ramsey have a falling-out or
something? Does anyone have any ideas? If so, feel free to share them with me,
because I will be listening.
For now, though, this is it. See you all soon!
