This time they’re focusing on the wild time-hopping genre-switching alternate reality-bending mission to stop history being entirely rewritten by aliens with access to TV Tropes in Series Seven of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.. What will they find to say about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Greatest Hits, Peggy Carter's accidental time-hopping bigamy and the mystery of exactly where Bucky Barnes' name got to, and what does any of this have to do with The Phil Coulson Broadcast Signal Intrusion Incident?
