I always felt like the superhuman May took out was like, a mind-controlling toddler or something she'd actually have reason to feel bad about killing.

I feel like it was mentioned that there was a young civilian casualty - maybe a young girl was the powered person they're talking about, and that's why May is so determined to protect Skye.

On the "why don't they hit Dethlok in the head thing", besides all the internal armor bolted to his skull, isn't he effectively on a watered down version of extremis 24/7? Unless it was a really big gun, he'd probably just regenerate. A pistol isn't going to do it.

And yet, he's covered in hosed up burns still. And is still missing a leg. WHICH IS IT, EXTREMIS?!

I hope this Lincoln character is another love interest who's lying to Daisy the entire time. Because....sure, maybe they can make him less generic over time, but he is so goddamn dull on first viewing.

Re-watching the show whilst paying more attention, there was a lolcat mug that mentioned hating Mondays that was shown early in this season, when the base was first being shown off. Fitz was using it in 2x13, the episode with Cal's team of the worst super-powered individuals ever.

Speaking of Cal's big episode, One of Us, Kyle MacLachlan is seriously the best actor on this show. He's chewing the scenery just the right amount for Cal's insanity and lack of self-control. Best episodes are with Cal.

He's already been lying to her about Raina (and presumably Mua'dad) so it's not really much of a stretch for him to be lying about other things, too.

I thought is was weird when Poots called out the Lincoln for lying about Reina when she should've realized he really never told her the truth about ANYTHING. Gordon wouldn't take her away, there's elders that decide everything-- not even the pizza! This guy is like the anti-Ward in that he basically lies to her non-stop.

Still, he is cute.

"Seven years ago", Iron Man came out in 2008, so yeah, that sounds about right. Just before or right around.

EDIT: again with the "let's vibrate the hell out of a mountain, forgetting that they are on a mountain" thing. What a great idea.
