Sorry I'm so late posting this! I haven't seen any other reaction posts for the premiere either? But I LOVED it, even if it feels like they inexplicably got dropped off the deep end.I mean our intrepid heroes have been placed in a Hunger Games end of the world dystopia, with not one but two kinds of aliens that want to kill them, while the vacuum of space sits right outside their rundown living conditions and oh, right there's still a piece of the Framework hanging around for good measure. On top of that, time travel, no Fitz, the Earth has been destroyed and they're supposed to save humanity!

Mack with his WTF I AM SO DONE ALREADY reactions is right on the money. LOL

The alien with the actual meat suit and the music in the intro was also ??? although I like the idea of a different kind of monolith.

I also liked the mention of Hope, and how Mack has better Spanish now because of her, but shouldn't he be a little more used to keeping his head down in a dystopia? They were literally just living in one? (Coulson too.) Deke's pissed off reaction at them just charging around like Agents of Shield is delightful though. XD I love Yoyo and Mack being a team too! <3 They rarely work together, so this season will be a treat.

Silent but deadly Kree lady killing people with meditation balls is the scariest villain thus far, although Kasius' delight with Jemma coming up with "the superior answer" and his obsession with perfection is also very promising. He's actually a lot like the other high-caste Kree we've bumped into thus far in the MCU (Ronan, from GotG), from his assumption of absolute authority to the copious amounts of black eyeliner and blue eyes. This promise of a look into Kree society, especially with the after credits scene, is going to be awesome.

I think Jemma's arc is looking the most interesting to me: stuck serving the Kree while they literally screw with her perceptions to make her deaf unless being addressed. One thing in her favor too: she still has no Metric to keep tabs on her, although she does have that silver thing in her ear.

Daisy vs. Deke looks like it'll be delightfully antagonistic too, especially with the Sneak Peek. Did she really destroy the Earth? Is she going to hack his Framework? Are they really echoing Thor's Ragnarok arc with Daisy? This season is going to be such fun! I LOVE SPACE MCU STUFF. :DDDD
