Mac's not dead yet. They still have an episode or two to figure out how to get him out of the framework.
The difference between Leo and Mac is simply a matter of respect. The agents respect mac's decision.
Reminiscent of the matrix. Once you know you're living a lie I just don't see how you can continue to do so. Especially when you can't take care of your actual body.
1. Only one agent was present when he refused to go back, so only one could respect it, if that's what she did. Could be she just figured she couldn't force him by herself and keep the portal open. They did show his body still hooked up to the machine in the preview for next week's episode, so I don't think it's over with him. Besides, it looks bad that they keep only killing off the black guys on the team.
I think it's probably more likely that they'll have Hope convince Mac to go back because she's the one who pushes him toward being heroic in that world as it is.I liked the human side of Mac deciding to stay behind. I have kids, can't imagine the hell of losing one. I might make the same choice. I really like his character, but with that said, the only way that I want him back is if his daughter gets killed in the framework, and he chooses to return. Maybe Aida kills her as punishment, and he realizes he can't be with his daughter in either world.
also- I know I can't be alone in thinking "If you could hit print again, I'd like my own copy of Aida"
Well, they said earlier in the season that a person's physical body would die after a certain amount of time in the framework, so I don't think they'll leave him in there forever anyway.
I imagine most would think that if Fitz came back to our world and got his memories back, he would never, ever regret leaving the Framework.
Lighten up Francis, a hot broad clone could be fun regardless of her world domination aspirations. Plus you could reprogram her for butt stuff if you wanted
Do you have a child? Imagine someone telling you that the life you are currently living isn't real, and that your child is actually dead. And imagine you see something that convinces you that they are right. Would it be that easy for you right now to walk away from your current life and never see your child again? I think that would be a very difficult decision and I can totally see Mac making that choice.
We have 4 children and of course it would be difficult. I'd probably stay if I thought we were just living in an alternate timeline, but mac seemed to know it was a lie and said so. With that, I'd leave even though it would be tough.
The only thing Mac knows about his life outside the framework is that Hope is not alive. He's never even asked if he's got other kids or a wife or anyone else who loves him who would be devastated by his choice to stay in the framework to live with a facsimile of a dead little girl rather than to come back to them as a real live person. If he had all that knowledge and then decided to stay then, sure, his choice could be respected. But he doesn't, so it can't be.
Given that we the viewer already know that to be true (no kids or wife in the real world), I think this was just a case of sparing us some wasted viewing time spelling out to him the details of what we already know.
I don't watch them. They're scenes from something I am going to see that I haven't seen yet. I only watch previews of things I'm not convinced I'll see yet.
Agree 100%. Firstly that damaged Fitz is the best Fitz for the show. Similar to season 2 after the Ward betrayal left him brain damaged (which I guess magically healed?).
When the show began I never would've guessed Iain De Caestecker would emerge as such a strong actor. But he's done great work on this show and I agree, damaged Fitz could be real interesting.
To lure in and trick Aida so they could kill her. She had teleported away and was actually afraid of the ghost Rider and the only chance they had of catching her would be surprise like that.
It's because of whatever it is that Ghost Rider knows that Coulson isn't telling the rest of the team about. It probably has to do with where Coulson woke up at the end of the episode. I would guess it's some version of Attilan in the Blue Area of the Moon, where the Inhuman royal family lives. Perhaps the team is in something like the framework there, and Coulson is the only one who can move between the real world and where they are.
Thanks for the correction. I assumed since it was beginning in the midseason it would only have half the episodes. Good to know it's a full season.
I got the feeling there was something Coulsen was hiding that allowed the Ghost Rider in. Something dark in his character he doesn't want the team to know about. Safe to say we'll find out about that next season.
That was my impression.... There was something to pay in order for Ghost Rider to make the jump. What else could it be than his soul?
Good point. I don't think he gave up his soul either. I think it's something else.
So we now know Hope was Mack's daughter. How did she pass? Could there be guilt within Mack because he didn't do something to save her? Maybe it's the guilt or darkness that let GR slip over to Mack for that short period. Coulson seems to have quite a few skeletons in his closet, so I'm sure he's not a "pure" soul either. Maybe that's the key? Any non-pure soul can be inhabited, but the darker the soul - the longer the GR can inhabit the host. Could this be tied to Coulson's rebirth back in Season 1? The fact that he died and then brought back to life could have been a turning point to where he lost part of his soul, or darkened it? Spit-balling here, but a thought.

Hopefully it at least taps into a similar audience that might leave the channel rather than find something else.
