That's the only way I'll accept Ward coming back and I sort of expect them to do this now that you mention it. Ward stays dead, actor can still be on the show. Lincoln stays dead, no one makes a LMD of him because who the fuck cares? Everyone is happy.

What would be the point? Everyone hates Ward, and no one would want a robot that thinks and acts like Ward. Maybe a Ward LMD inhabited by the pure energy form of Lincoln?

Should be the only picture in the OP.

If we're talking ABRAHAM Lincoln, then yes; I'm on board.

It'd be 100% fan service. Could they like reprogram LMD Ward to be season 1 Ward without the whole double agent thing? I'm not sure how these things work.

Season 1 ward was already a double agent.

Or you can go like Max Fury, a self aware LMD that hates the original

I like this idea. I just hope they do something more interesting with LMDs other than "dead characters are back except they're robots!"

Wow, this is starting next week? Damn that was fast.

It's gonna be weird watching Simmons on TV after seeing her in person.

what if SquidWard uploaded himself to the internet before the ship blew up

I can already see an end of the episode twist with his face appearing on Fitz's computer

If they get into LMD stuff, I wonder if we'll start to see some of the same superb and contemplative AI material we got from the same creative team in Dollhouse. (I mean this sincerely.)

Ha ha, at a convention, not like on the street, and I waited in line to do so, nothing impressive. She was SUPER nice though, very friendly, chit-chatted a bit and signed my comic book.

But she's the only real celebrity I've ever met, so it was a bit surreal.

The LMD stuff:

- Doctor Radcliffe went through hearings regarding his involvement with Hive. His name has been cleared with "a few stipulations".

- Like others have said, LMD is Life Model Decoy, and the doctor's AI is called AIDA, Artificial Intelligence Data Analyser. Radcliffe mentions the LMD project is based on an old SHIELD program.

- While talking about Fitz and Simmons, Radcliffe says "Poor kids have had a lot of friends die. Maybe they didn't have to.". Most likely considering the use LMDs to "bring back" dead people.

- I saw some people thinking the LMD at the end could be Jocasta, but it's just AIDA gaining a physical body. When AIDA asks if they're celebrating the inclusion of Fitz in the project, the doctor looks at the LMD and says "No, Aida. Today... Today is your birthday."

With how they left the last season a mystery who the new director was, I was hoping it was someone cool and special.

Would have been spectacular if they got Samuel L. Jackson to be director for one (and potentially the final) season of AoS.

I don't remember that LMD Aida stuff at all. I'll probably rewatch the last episode and the stinger before the premiere.

Resurrecting Grant Ward (again) wouldn't count as fan service. Just unimaginative fuckery. He should have died in the pilot.

Have we been watching the same show?

Edit: Probably unclear here, unimaginative fuckery isn't exactly unheard of for this show.

What is wrong with people?

Geist, you are my brother in Star Citizen

But on this, I must disown you.

I hope you find your missing heart.
Haha, just my opinion. Most of her character arcs seem to consist of

Daisy: "There's something I disagree with! I must do everything in my power to change that!"
Everyone else: "Wait Daisy, there's a reason/plan for that, be patient."
Daisy: "What's that? I can do whatever I want because Coulson has my back? Will do!"

I find it incredibly annoying.

Yeah, her logic is usually a bit... shaky.

She often exhibits behavior that might be considered... volatile.

You could almost say she's... unstable.

Talking about Quake, here's a new picture of her from Season 4:

On how others perceives her in Season 4:

It turns out Daisy has fashioned herself into something of a vigilante, and although her former friends believe she still wants to do good, the media and some members of the public now see her as a villain

Ready to like the first 3 episodes, hate the next 16 and wonder why am I still watching this shit, then be impressed by the last 3 and warm up to it again.

This thread needs more Maye hate. I can provide this much needed service. She needs killed off because she's the weakest link on the show. I bet in the premier she's angry about something. Then she gets an attitude with Coulson. And I bet she hates the new director because reasons.

As per tradition, my brother and I watch this a day late to complicate things. Also as per tradition, I will be out of town for the first episode.

\o/ I miss so many posts this way.

I hate May for different reasons. But I disagree that she needs to die.
 
With a little development, May can easily be a more entertaining character.

But this "pissed at the world and angry at the director all the time" shit needs to end. Also, the writers aren't exactly helping her by dumping bad shit at her doorstep constantly.
