2026-11-02 17:00 As a leader sometimes you have to make hard calls and you have to sacrifice people. Sarge is willing to make those calls because he has been doing this a long time. Mack has always been against violence and killing if there are other options but in this case killing the strike instead of trying to save the hosts was the better option. Mack has been trying to be a good leader but his fear of not being as good as Coulson is sort of being thrown in his face by Sarge. I was very surprised that you did not recognize the actress from Plubius. The pink hair must have thrown you off.

I think it took me an episode of Pluribus to remember where I'd seen her before, "OH! She was Izel!"

Deke, at this point, is from another timeline since his ruined Earth future is no longer happening here. So, he was right about it proves his multiversal theory

I remember a lot of people were annoyed (in a funny way) that Sarge got to say "Toldja" at the end. It's not that the team wasn't listening to him, they didn't trust him 'cause he had Coulson's face, but Sarge wasn't really being forthcoming with info for them to listen to. He was banking on getting leverage and he was right, but he IS an old man and knows some things.😁

Another split focus episode, which makes sense after last episode (correctly) not really dealing with Earth at all. TBH, I find the Earth side more interesting this time around - the scenes on Kitson feel like we're treading water a little, with circumstances out of Enoch and FitzSimmons' control. We learn a little more about Sarge and Jaco (Jaco being the runt of his family is saying something!), plus we get a better idea of what these "shrike" are capable of with (arguably) the first instance of complete catastrophic failure of the containment modules since their introduction. Sarge clearly knows a lot more than he lets on, and is pretty good at manipulating things to his advantage - something which Coulson had demonstrated an ability at as well - and Mack falls for it with his desire to save lives without fully understanding what he's up against. Incidentally, I'm not sure if I've talked about this before, but I've always been a little unsure about how effective Mack would be as the Director of SHIELD, as he's shown time and again that he has (on the whole) a very rigid black/white worldview. This isn't necessarily a problem in itself (and can be a benefit in some situations), but SHIELD frequently operates in the grey, dealing with situations that aren't as clear cut - that demands flexibility, or as Coulson put it in S3 with Lincoln the ability to "do the wrong thing for the right reason", which doesn't feel like a good fit for Mack. Enoch continues to provide good lines and comedic moments - he's the highlight of the space side for me. I think we can assume we'll see him again given the communication device he gave Fitz at the end. From what we've seen in AoS most long-range interstellar travel seems to be instantaneous - we saw the Zephyr jump between systems earlier in the season, and Izel mentions she salvaged a jump drive from her last ship - so we can assume that travel time back to Earth probably won't be that long. This is consistent with how the movies handle space travel, although the exact method is a little different.
