So, Momma Poots is back. If she can come back from a vivisection, then you know drat well that Whitehall can come back from a gunshot...

Also, I was waiting for them to reveal the cab driver to be Ward...

So simmons and fitz set up a biometric lock based on fitz's dna or some poo poo, right?

They said something about scanning areas of the cube, I got the impression that Jemma just scanned every section so she could make a passable copy and give Fitz the real one. Cause if she just had a plastic box, the NuSHIELD lab geeks are gonna notice that, like, immediately.

drat this show is so good. Anybody have pictures of the new Deathlok costume yet? Just fuckin' STREETS ahead of the old lazertag one.

Yeah, I thought that whole bit about "you wanted me to see this" was her making sure the scanned images got to Fitz so he could make the copy and sleight-of-hand the substitution in that little juggling scene.

Whitehall had only second hand organs, which were wearing out by his own admission. He was looking for more people to experiment on to further prolong his life.

Really great episode. I figured that Fitz and Gemma were up to something after Fitz went to see Gemma when Mack showed him the cube images. Loved the sandwich callback.

Having to work with Ward is also going to be hilarious, because earlier he was just so hoping to get back in. "I'm still on your team!"

This is what I figure. Jemma was under watch the whole time she worked on the cube, so she got Fitz the info he needed to make a copy. And then the two of them have a nice argument to distract attention from Fitz making the switch.

If I recall correctly, back in the first season when they sent Fitz out on a field mission for the first time(no idea exactly which episode but I think it was early on), Simmons made Fitz that sandwich to bring with him because it was his favorite...

In the tag, Gemma could barely keep herself from smirking as she was telling Mack and Bobbi that the cube was essentially just a worthless lump of plastic.

"The Hub", which I think was episode 6. Ward ended yup throwing the sandwich into a puddle because it would attract dogs... apparently if Fitz ate it, but not if it was sitting in a puddle for some reason.

It was when Fitz went on a mission with Ward. Ward tossed the sandwich before Fitz could eat it because of patrol dogs (?).

Also I think Ward threw the sandwich away, which was our first clue about his true nature.

The first one didn't look nearly as bad actually on screen with production lighting, though the second is a lot better. Usually guys in the comic threads are comparing about everything being grey though.

Yeah but in fairness those early episodes were slow and multiple week breaks inbetween them did not help things at all. I was super excited for the premiere, watched 2 episodes and promptly forgot about it for over a month and then I caught up around xmas time which means that I barely missed anything? It's definitely much more manageable if you can marathon through to Turn, Turn, Turn.

Has anyone here ever seen the movie Summer School? Mark Harmon plays a high school gym teacher who's roped into teaching an English class over the summer for the goof-off kids. When the first day of class starts, a large black guy says he needs to go to the bathroom. He gets the hall pass, and leaves. He's never seen again, until the end of the movie, when it's time for the class to take their final exam. He walks in, everyone looks at him in surprise, and the teacher asks, "Where have you been?" He replies with, "In the bathroom." The teacher asks, "The entire time?", and he responds with, "My zipper got stuck.".

That's what's gonna happen here. We haven't seen the Koenigs since they helped bring Raina in. I think it was the episode after that one where someone, Coulson, I think, mentioned in passing that the Koenigs went out for supplies. We haven't seen them since...

They're gonna come back with the supplies, see this whole Real S.H.I.E.L.D. vs S.H.I.E.L.D. thing, get mad that Real S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't have lanyards, and then proceed to clean up.

It will be glorious!

I wish there weren't so many overly dramatic speeches in this show. It seems like the characters are just constantly repeating themselves, episode after episode, and they could probably make this a half hour show just by cutting those parts out.

It'd be great to see an episode where they just go somewhere and do things instead of standing around talking about it or arguing over loyalty for half the show.

In any case The Flash is beating the pants off Shield in terms of actual storyline.
