It did feel like something made by people who only experienced the 80s through watching a bunch of old low budget sci fi horror films, but I enjoyed it all the same.
I mean, if you were born in 1990, you're 30 right now, so it's possible! (Though it looks like the writer is Brent Fletcher, whose age I couldn't find, but his first writing credit is 2003, so he probably experienced the 80s firsthand.)

I was born in 84 so most of what I actually remember of the 80s is primarily filtered through movies I watched as a child from the era, so it's perfectly accurate.
I did particularly like that Mac 'letting himself go' equated to a bushier beard and a few beer cans strewn about. It's like watching a Segal movie where he wakes up out of long coma and immediately starts kicking ass. =P

Just imagine he was at the gym every other second he wasn't on screen drinking/brooding.

Ok, ok, now Mac doing Aerobics in a very colorful leotard *would* be delightfully 80s.

Yeah, seeing him still built like a brick house after his extended stay indoors building models and drinking heavily was probably the least believable part in an episode about time traveling murder robots.

Gotta say, everyone arguing about the Framework and who's gonna turn into an LMD is pretty funny in retrospect.

This season is amazing.
2 seasons ago was my least favorite. And then I thought last season was just ok.
But this season?
They have been having a lot of fun with it and it really shows.

This week's episode:
I chuckled at Elena picking up the Obelisk while Li was trying to explain what it was, clearly confident that she wouldn't touch it when he described that it could kill her.
And then I didn't even think about her prosthetic arms there!
Speaking of prosthetics, Sousa got himself a new leg from Simmons like we all expected him to.
The only sad part about this week's titles, is it really had no relevance to this week's story. If it wasn't for the inclusion of a specific character (well, arguably two), then it could have been set in modern day AoS without issue.

She looks older in the Zoom streams she sometimes does with Henstridge, so I think she must just be a wizard with make-up, lighting, and that particular hair style pulling the skin on her forehead (instant natural botox!).
I feel like maybe you guys just aren't used to Asian faces. She looks fantastic for a woman in her 50's, but she does not look the same as she did in Street Fighter. Not knocking her looks AT ALL. She's very well preserved. She's not ageless, though.
That episode was absolutely fantastic. Helluva directorial debut for Henstridge.
Fitz is dead, isn't he?

Fitz is dead, isn't he?
Yeah i have a feeling the reveal for the Fitz mystery is going to super suck.
I am always a sucker for stories about robots learning to be human and heroic self sacrifice so this one definitely pressed my buttons. I also liked the juxtaposition of his journey with Coulson's.
And despite being the antagonist, the moment they said they needed his power regulator, he didn't even give them a chance to explain the cost. Enoch is truly an MVP.
On the other hand, it's a sci fi show with time travel, so pretty much anything can theoretically be undone.

Fitz is dead, isn't he?
I think that's a given.
I'd bet money based on her reaction after it's removal, that Simmons implant is primarily there to not allow her to acknowledge Fitz's death, and is therefore able to function at a higher level than if she were grieving.
I did like the kick at Deke.
"Deke's dead."
"Very."
"Don't you think we should be sad about that?"
"No we should not."
Poor Deke.
And in the end, it does look like Enoch 'saw the irony', of loneliness and loss.
I do know that if there weren't four episodes remaining, I'd be fucking furious about the loss of Enoch. But he got to have a noble sacrifice, near the end, and well, that's the best that can be hoped for for someone who's otherwise functionally immortal. Best case otherwise is he continues to exist past the point where everyone else (bar maybe Coulson) dies.
Gonna say, most scifi shows have this trope at some point during their run, and it's kinda interesting to see how it gets played.
They definitely pulled it off, and there's only one (SG-1) that IMO did it better. A contested second place to that is a big win for AOS.

That was a great episode, but with plenty of hints for future tragedy.
And then there was the completely unintentionally hilarious moment for my wife and I due to a problem we have specifically with Hulu. Every time we watch something on there, it freezes up in the middle of an episode. Tonight it seemed like we'd get through to the end without any issues, but then it happened during this specific line, with the character making this specific face:
Seriously, spoilers! Don't click if you haven't seen the episode yet!

The Magicians did a great job with it, too, if you haven't had a chance.
E: non-sequiter completely accurate summary of the Magicians version, which is both spoilers and sounds completely insane out of context to the point where it's almost not.
The gang takes meth to stay up to talk to the moon so it can move out of the way. But to do that they have to do a heist to steal a rock. But while doing that they accidentally break the moon and cause the apocalypse. But then we find out that Margo and Elliot are stuck in groundhogs day (hedgehog day lol) and have to talk to whales through a tv in order to RELEASE THE KRAKEN. Which will allow them to go back and do the heist right and move the moon safely.

The other option for second place would have to be Legends of Tomorrow's "Here I Go Again".
I've been pretty against the Daisy/Sousa ship since it started, right up until he gave his speech this episode, then my underpants exploded and I get it now.

You mean a second encore. That was the first, according to the bartender.
