You’re right, Sean. And on a side note, Lincoln’s codename is Sparkplug. No one in the show ever called him that out loud, but it was mentioned in a character profile about him which should still be available on the show’s Facebook page.

2025-04-03 19:15:25 +0000 UTCSlingshot is basically like the One Shots from the early MCU - a standalone story that adds a little extra depth to the characters we know and events we've seen. There would be very little upside to having it impact the S4 plot directly, as they would have to cover any critical plot points again in the show itself to ensure that people who didn't see Slingshot still understood what was going on (I mean, AoS could be watched without watching the MCU movies that happen during its run and still make sense - e.g. there's enough in 1x17 to understand the wider implications without watching CA:TWS, which has by far the biggest impact on the show). From what I know, Slingshot is Elena's codename in the comics, with her actual name being Yo-yo Rodriguez - Elena was created for AoS to make it more realistic. May telling off Elena is fun - basically if you're going to steal, do it properly!

2025-04-03 19:09:52 +0000 UTCI actually really like the extra light in your studio! Though I guess the problem isn't really the amount of light as opposed to the inconsistency of the light, which caused you to install the aluminum foil in the first place. The others didn't mention it yet, so I'll just point out that the "bad guy" in these shorts is the same bad guy from the very first episode where we were introduced to Yo-Yo; He was the police chief that worked with that creepy Medusa-eyes inhuman guy. We actually saw him kill her cousin in that episode, so this was a nice wrap-up on that story thread, I guess. I hope the renovations are going well so far!

2025-04-03 18:45:39 +0000 UTCA nice little mini series about yoyo and the accords process. It also fills in some gaps about the time between seasons. The axe is the one Mack used that removed Coulson's arm. Of course it is not necessarily plot heavy but more time with yoyo is good. I will always say character work is good to have and actually showing how much a pain the accords are to the mission is important too. Since the movies barely did. The 084 from episode 2 of the show appears here if you didn't recognize it. It killed Garrett at the end of season 1.

2025-04-03 17:53:35 +0000 UTCA couple of nice easter eggs. 1. The axe is the one Mack chopped of Coulsons hand with. 2. The glowing weapon is the 0-8-4 from season 1.
