It didn't react to Simmons as much as it happened to destabilize while she was nearby.
That's not 100% clear if you look at the clip. She opens the door, and then it destabilizes.

It wasn't fluctuating from solid to liquid when Fitz and Simmons were in the room talking beforehand.

Note that even though he is the MCU version of Hellfire with the Australian heritage and working through all the possible names they were clearly alluding to Pyro, but couldn't actually say that one word.

I don't think they were alluding to Pyro at all. What would even be the point in doing so? They could say pyro if they wanted, it's not like they are going to get sued for saying it.

She doesn't open the door, Fitz absent-mindedly unlocked it and it burst open at the exact moment she noticed. It was dramatic timing, but considering it had been going liquid to solid intermittently many times before, it's not necessarily a reaction to Simmons.

Well, it is definitely reacting to Simmons getting close to that door. Inhuman, or not. There is no coincidence about it.

We still don't know why the Kree stone did that tho.

You are acting like she just happened to be close to the door during one of these stabilization phases, and is the only reason she was taken... Not buying that.

The stone reacted to Fitz also when he tried to make the stone take him. They closed the door and moments later, it tried to eat him.

Yes but did Fitz enact that response, or did the stone do that without him trying to make it happen.

The key is Simmons did nothing but touch that door, and it reacted to her. She didn't open the Kree Stone with a artificial device.

Fitz opened the door and basically yelled at it, because he was out of ideas. Mack notices this and they get him out of the way before something happens. The stone activates and that is when they find the sand, which lets Fitz know it is a portal and that is when they seek out the Asgard dude, who hints that what activates it is something else (the other planet). That eventually leads them to the old Hydra castle, which lets them activate the portal at will.

They out right stated the portal was intermittent and unpredictable. If it was activated everytime someone was near it, they would have noticed that pattern.

The stone is a Kree weapon used to kill Inhumans, and for interstellar travel. It reacts ,and want's too transport, and kill Inhumans without any device.

Hydra leaders were able to fashion 5 small stones from the Monolith to activate it at will.

Its sole purpose of creation from the Kree was to wipe out Inhumans...

And Fitz didn't just yell at it, He also shot off the door with a Shotgun which is what people theorize activated the stone, or one of the shield agents who stopped him was Inhuman.

Point is always Jemma didn't do anything, but be near it and the stone activated to transport her. Which is what the Kree designed it to do for "Inhumans"
If Jemma turns out to be just a human then we know for sure the Stone has no preference.

he as Gambits powers.



Also, I think it opens and closes based on a cycle from the other end, is the final explanation for the portal. Simmons was dumb luck. even if she might be inhuman.

Jiang thought it was a weapon to kill Inhumans. That doesn't mean it was in the literal sense. When tens of thousands of years pass, things get lost in the translation. For instance, the symbols for the stone said death. However, one could easily argue it was just a warning against Hive.

They changed Hellfire from the comics. In the books he could only channel his chain, and was the descendant of the Phantom rider.

Hes more an amalgamation of Pyro, and Hellfire now. Maybe that was the point of him guessing names from existing Marvel characters.

Yeah I don't buy the dumb luck thing, but we will probly find out by the end of this season.

Hive was transported by the stone. He didn't always exist on the planet called Maveth.


The Monolith was one of many products produced by the Kree during the creation of the Inhumans on prehistoric Earth. The ruling Kree hierarchy, deeming the creation of the Inhumans by a rogue Kree faction as being a mistake, conceived the Monolith as a means of wiping them out. Aside from destroying the Inhumans, the Monolith also had the ability to absorb and then transport individuals across space.[1]
An Inhuman of immense power was born and desired to rule the Earth. He was banished by others through the Monolith to Maveth. The Inhuman's followers later formed a secret society with the goal to bring their leader back to Earth and gained possession of the Monolith.

As it should be, because the entire Fitz-Simmons interesting perspective in the show is they're "normal" (for various definitions of normal) people. If you start making everyone in your show "special", then you're grasping at straws because your show is going nowhere, and I'd rather avoid that.

I think they planned the show to be just that. But over the course of the first season to the second season you can see the shift to go more Super Hero within Shield.

One thing that could have contributed to it was Marvel trying to really push Inhumans as thier new X-men so they could separate themselves out from the Fox owned group.

And the fact that Shield already had existing story lines for factions that were not human within their ranks such as the "Howling Commandos, and "Secret Warriors"

The show itself hasn't been very human for awhile now. Even Coulson isn't technically Human anymore

Even if the monolith was supposed to kill inhumans, it is destroyed now. However, there is another Kree artifact (which Hive takes) which he states can destroy him.

Kind of a meh episode, made disappointing by no Civil War tie in. The Hive origin story was ok, but I was put off by heel WWF Kree Bros. This whole 'Who... will... die...' stuff is getting annoying as well.

Well, Ward/Hive sort of tied into the movie by saying this is a world where billionaires can make high-tech suits of armor and the military can make super soldiers, "which is bound to lead to a war". But yeah, I realize that's stretching "tie-in" by a lot.
