That fight/sick burn/other sick burn/character beat/zinger/other other sick burn!
Whole episode was Oh Damn made incarnate. I also loved the setup for AoU.
I submitted an entry to Lego Ideas, and if 10,000 people support me, it'll be turned into an actual Lego set!If you'd like to see and support my submission, follow this link.
I wonder if Skye has been unconsciously using her powers to sense people. Since she can sense vibrations, she pretty much has Daredevil's powers, except for the enhanced smell.
Something that threw me, though: I was expecting Ward and/or Bakshi to spring some secret betrayal at some point, but, no, Ward's only secret goal was getting help for 33 and Bakshi was nothing more than the suicidally subservient thrall he appeared to me. So, on the one hand, that (and not killing Simmons) gives me some hope for Ward, but on the other hand holy shit that is fucking horrifying what the fuck.
I guess what I'm saying is they've got some good ambiguity going on. I think Ward is this show's Spike and I can't believe I'm just realizing that now.
Me too. It show off how psychopathic he really is. Superficially charming while at the same time completely unable to understand deeper connections.
Also the director for this episode was the same guy that directed the Kick-ass 33/May fight earlier in the season,Kevin Tancharoen. Marrisa Tancharoen's brother. Hooray for Nepotism I guess.

in episode sixteen Coulson and British man are in a cabin in the woods. Coulson mentions the cabin was meant to withstand a hulk size threat? Is this the same cabin Bruce is in meditating at the end of Hulk? If so that's a crazy throwback to a seven year old movie.

He's also the guy that's behind the MK reboot series, plus other stuff, so it's not really nepotism.
Good ep, but I have to admit that I'm a little bummed that this whole arc was pretty much just a ruse for Coulson to gather intel to pass on to the Avengers.

I keep imagining that Coulson is River Song: Spoilers!

I kind of figured the whole time that Coulson would be the one to sic the Avengers on Strucker, so it didn't bother me terribly. I thought Raina's vision at the end was a little overly ham-fisted, though. "I... I foresee the thrilling events of Avengers: Age of Ultron, in theaters this Friday!"
Although the more I think about it, the more it approaches super-shameless radio drama territory and becomes kind of awesome.

I almost would have preferred that they use the AoU clip as her prophecy.
It's entirely possible this wasn't the first time they'd been used, but this was the first time I'd noticed the call signs for the planes. Shield-616 and Shield-218.
Sooo, I shouldn't read into anything that 616 was destroyed, right? Right. I haven't read comics but I did recognize 616 as one of the important Realities in the Marvelverse.

Ask again in a few months when Secret Wars is over. 616 may not exist any longer. (And yes, 616 is the primary universe)

That's kind of the whole point to the show, IMO: Throw the audience to the movies, bring them back, and continue to be awesome.

Well, the aftermath of AoU could tie into the rest of the season (but from the previews it doesn't look like it).
However, it does look like
preview spoilers:
Afterlife doesn't stay a safe haven for the Inhumans, and we get to learn what's on the boat. Both of which have me excited.
Can somebody give me a timeline in Bakshi's whereabouts? Every time he shows up, it's a complete surprise to me. I thought he was dead, he shows up. I swear he was in custody, he shows up. I would be the worst spy, I cannot keep track of this lone asshole.
I think my problem has been solved.

That was the one part of the episode that just did not work for me at all. It was maybe, what, thirty seconds in real life but it felt excruciatingly long because I felt kind of embarrassed for the actress.
I agree with whoever asked why they couldn't just use an actual AoU clip. I mean, they had a perfect in-story reason to go there.

It kinda sorta looks like they go from AoU cleanup straight into the early stages of setting up Civil War ("omg the powereds are so bad, go get them before they do something horrible"-everyone on boat shield)

but Adama has officially worn out his welcome and I wonder how long before Coulson has to put him down

Skye is the best.

Watching latest episode. Coulson said,
Did he actually spoil parts of Age of Ultron for me?
Then he started talking to Maria Hill, and I paused the episode before they could spoil anything else.
Can I keep watching without getting more spoilers?

Or Captain America: The Winter Soldier for that matter.
Like, even a movie-only watcher would know Fury is still out there.
Shit, he's been in the trailers for Avengers 2.
The spoiler alert was for the sake of Gonzalez, and for a laugh

I would have watched that Skye fight scene 4 times over if my wife wasn't rolling her eyes at me. Good thing I kept the PVR to do that later!
This show has gone from an enjoyable romp through the MCU in a procedural spy show to the most amazing of dramatic television and I love it.

A bit of a walk back after saying he didn't consider AoS movie-canon? Was he just screwing with everyone? Who knows.
he said something similar to Sif, but...
edit, lemme rephrase. I don't see this as a walkback at all. This is just another way to say what I read from Joss's initial quotes on the matter.
