S4:E13 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “BOOM."

The S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. crew splits up to find Radcliffe's secret origin/lost love Agnes Kitsworth (AIDA's spitting image/model), and deal with the Watchdog-turned-exploding-man/self-hating ‪‪Inhuman, Shockley. Mack and Coulson meet Agnes and try to convince her to help S.H.‪‪I.E.L.D. take down Radcliffe and AIDA, while Ivanov's plan to prove Senator Nadeer was an Inhuman like her brother backfired, revealing his righthand man Shockley, unbeknownst to everyone, was in fact an Inhuman, and Nadeer was a human casualty of the ploy. Fitz figures out how Daisy's powers can stop the exploding man's explosions and the team saves the day, but Coulson and Mack weren't able to get Agnes on board with their plan before Radcliffe convinced her to come with him.

We started this one off with a tangent about how being "sibling cowriters" in Hollywood might work, then included a little bit about Mallory Jansen's time in Galavant, and a lot about how great she is in this episode as both the synthetic, robotic AIDA, and the very human Agnes. And Shockley's shocking (sorry) revelation shakes his sense of identity, and led to a discussion of Patty Jenkins's ‪‪I Am the Night mini-series with Chris Pine about the true story of Fauna Hodel. Jess asks "Who can tell what a robot is thinking?," and we ponder "are submarines meant to be really fast?," and "would *you* download yourself into a robot?"
