Doctor Strange is Coming!

"Spacetime" Recap & Review

OMG! If things couldn't get any juicer? First things first, WTH did Daisy see in her second vision? Someone in space?! This is getting good.

Anyway...things get stranger as the episode starts out with Charles a homeless man, who, you guessed it, is an Inhuman. When he touches someone or someone touches him, he sends some sort of vibration and people go into a trance as see their future. Most of the future that people see ends up in death. Because of that, he ran away from his family so that he could save them and tried not to touch anyone so that they wouldn't later die. S.H.I.E.L.D finds out about Charles because they listen in on the emergency dispatch calls. A grocery store owner named Edwin Abbott called in and asked for Daisy Johnson by name and said that Hydra was going to kill him. This was the man that touched Charles when he tried to give him money. And of course, when S.H.I.E.L.D arrived, everything that Edwin said was going to happen happened. All this occurred because Hydra wanted Charles. To use his powers to help do their bidding.

Now that "Ward" is at full health, he's taking over Hydra slowly and everyone is falling into line. Except Gideon Malick. He's starting to see what he's trying to do and it's scaring him. He's killing all "normal" people and leaving only the Inhumans alive. What does that say for Gideon? Where will he fit into the overall plan? Or will he? "Ward" takes Gideon and the crew to the company that made the parts in Coulson's hand (that he used to crush and kill the real Ward). With the help of Charles and the new "Ward", Gideon is able to have a taste of the true power that he so much desired. They are able to get a power suit for him that gives him immense strength. He can crush glass in his hands and flip boardroom tables with ease. But can he crush a human like Coulson did? "Ward" wants him to find out and show him true power. And he does! He crushed the skull of the man that owned the company!

Then something even crazier happens...

Andrew walks through the doors of S.H.I.E.L.D with a bunch of guards following behind him! (*gasp!) He tells everyone and May that Lash is taking over his body and feels that the next time he turns into him will be the last time he turns. That Andrew will be gone forever and he wanted to tell May goodbye (*tear*).

So what's next for the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D? Will they gather more troops and more Inhumans? What's next for Gideon? Will he be eventually be killed by "Ward"? What's next for Lash? Will he stay in containment and be killed? Or will they release him? And back to my first question...What the hell does Daisy vision of the future mean? Is it a opening for something that will happen in Civil War? Or is this just something that will be revealed next week (since her last vision happened the next night)?

Character Profile: The Joker

Ever wonder why the Joker was so weird and crazy? The most common reason (as things have changed over at DC Comics over the years) is that he fell into a vat of chemicals which bleaches his skin, colors his hair green and his lips red, and drives him insane. From his new found features, he named himself the Joker, because he looked liked the playing card. His true origin story is really unknown, for writers have come up with so many, but with Joker's unreliable memory, it made it easy. 

Nicknames: Clown Prince of Crime, the Jester of Genocide, the Harlequin of Hate, the Ace of Knaves

He is typically seen wearing a purple suit with a long-tailed, padded shoulder jacket, a string tie, gloves, striped pants, and spats on pointed toe shoes. 

The joker is obsessed with the Batman. The two of them are some sort of yin and yang, with opposing dark and light forces. Spectacle is more important to the Joker than wealth, if it's not spectacular then it's boring to him. 

Characteristics: He lacks empathy, a conscience, and concern over what's right and what's wrong. He's constantly making a new personality for himself every day. He's been depicted as both sexual and asexual. 

Skills and Abilities: The Joker has no inherent superhuman abilities. He commits crimes with a variety of weaponized thematic props. The flower on his lapel sprays acid, and his hand often holds a joy buzzer conducting volts of electricity.
