Tuesday: I'm about to bitch about Agents of Shield again.

But first:

Sushi chef Kitty-chan.

The moon did a cool thing.

Zoom!

First up, I'm glad AoS isn't new until the 29th.  That means I don't need to try and make other people hate-watch the show with me.  The good thing: making Ghost Rider's uncle be the actual big bad guy, not any of the ghost people.  Still, the ghost people did kill a bunch of people, so I'm glad they've been Ghost Ridered.  The first stupid thing: the new director abducting Science Pal Lady.  Why?  That's dumb.  Why is he so dumb?  Is it because he was friendly with evil senator lady?

The second dumb thing: are Science Pal Guy and Coulson now ghost people?  Can I just go "Ugh" and get across the level of angry annoyance?  Last season you mailed Science Pal Lady across space, and it was all "we have to do everything to get her back!"  This is just the gender-flipped, doubled-down version of the same thing.  "Ghosts aren't outer space."  It's the same stupid break-up-the-team bullshit.

Third dumb thing: why is the new director so dumb?  "Coulson, you're a LOOSE CANNON and OUT OF CONTROL!  You've got to hand over your daughter substitute and this super powered dude so they can face trial!"  Really?  That's the best you can come up with?  I really hope that the speculation that he's not really human, but is really a Life Model Decoy is true, because then that at least there's a reason for him to be so stupid.

Fourth dumb thing:  why did they introduce the first actual LMD at the end of last season, and then use her to do two things: a) jack; b) shit.  I get that even fricking Ghost Rider is more interesting than LMDs, but still.  Can she do something useful at some point?

Fifth thing:  I assume the episode on the 29th is just going to be the team sitting down and eating shwarma for fifty minutes before having Coulson say, "Good thing Dr. Strange (movie now in theaters!) decided to stop by and solve this mystical problem we had, given that THAT'S KIND OF HIS DAMN JOB."

ETA: Second good thing: Having Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider give powers to Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider.  I like tying things together like this. 

• Pokemon.
• Ghost types.
• Pikachu.
• Not Pokemon.
• This is all good to read, but the tldr best point is the Arlie Hochschild quote about halfway through.
• Gender bias from astronomy citations.
• A good dog.
• This works so well.
• A She-Hulk and a Squirrel-Girl.
• Ghost construction.
