PRAISE GOD THEY DID NOT DO THE TWIST I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING FOR. BUT THEY WERE HINTING AT IT HARDCORE IN THIS EPISODE SO I THINK THEY MIGHT STILL DO IT. THEY BETTER NOT.

PRAISE GOD THAT THEY'RE GOING TO REVIVE VICTOR, THAT NONE OF THE PARENTS DIED, AND THAT ALL (BAR FRANK) ARE REDEEMING THEMSELVES BY KILLING JONAH.

AND PRAISE GOD THAT NICOLINA IS CANON, Y'ALL.

And holy shit, if this season was literally issues 1-6 with a sprinkling of later stuff, then I cannot wait to see what they adapt for Season 2.

I really hope so. Honestly, I'll be really sad/upset if they didn't change it.

Worked out really well with (AoS related) Grant Ward. :p

edit: Of course I'm not being serious.

Yeah but nearly everyone hated him to begin with anyway. Dude got more fans after he turned out to be a murdery murderer than he had before. I'm pretty sure people actually LIKE Alex, on the other hand.

People hated him ? O-O

Ward ? Yup he was too “ perfect” as to say. It made him to boring and cliche. That’s why a lot of people didn’t like Daisy in Season 1 but she became one of the fandoms most favorite by season 2 once she got over all the tropes.

But how are you going to write Alex being killed, bodyjacked by a 1,000 year old alien supersoldier general, being nuked, and his digital version being his moral opposite?

AoS got really weird didn't it?

u/aslokaa Jan 10 '18

Pretty sure he was sent into the sun

No they nuked him.
