I like that Skye's first thought upon seeing Coulson working with Ward wasn't "TRAITOR."

She was smart enough to see them attacking the Hydra agents. So even if Ward was with him, it's still Coulson.

Awwww, good guy Lincoln. Kinda dumb, but still. :3: Sadly, he and Skye can never be together because there is no combination of their names that doesn't sound absolutely terrible. Skincoln, Lincye, they pretty much all sound like terrible diseases, so tumblr will never get behind them.

They are really going out of their way to make Coulson look underhanded.

To be fair, Coulson is teaming up with Ward and a couple other ex-Hydra people against "Real SHIELD", and even I am going "what are you thinking"? He really was not helping his case.

That said, him turning himself in to go explain IS a good move... except that leaves Hunter and Fitz alone with Ward and Kira. (I can't imagine everyone turning themselves in so casually.)

Just use her real name! Lincsy. Boom. Or her code name. Quakecoln, which sounds like "Quakin'."

I like all the other comic shows but I'm so glad Agents of Shield features characters that more or less act like adults, and Skye rather than getting wrapped up in drama bullshit actively calls it out all the time.

So it seems like they're hinting at Hydra gonna track Gordon to the Inhuman village and we're gonna get a hell of a showdown? Not to mention we still have an AoU tie in and next week from the preview where they're gonna do the thing? Sounds like a great season finale.

I think what we're going to see next week is Coulson and crew hand off Strucker's location to the Avengers who wreck Hydra's poo poo before they can attack Afterlife.

Jiaying probably just told him. I mean, we never see it happen, but if she's sending the guy to keep tabs on Skye and Cal, he's obviously someone Jiaying trusts a lot.

I think this is right. Potential AoS as well as AoU spoiler: In an interview, Jed Whedon said that as a part of Maria Hill's cameo in AoS, she takes a piece of information from the show and brings it to the movie.

It all makes sense now.

Pretty much every single character on the show that is related to SHIELD in any way is off doing this poo poo in Milwaukee, leaving Edward James Olmos with his aircraft carrier and fleet of planes to represent REALSHIELD if they make any appearances at all in the Avengers movie. Someone will probably say "Where's SHIELD?!" And it will cut to Olmos and Crew making a last stand on their boat as Ultron rips him a new one.

This leaves Coulson in charge again, with everyone treating Mac and Bobbi like poo poo for betraying them, except they're going to save all their lives in the second part, so then everyone hugs and makes up and deals with the fact that the world just went to poo poo, again. Coulson will probably say something about how since the team is needed more now than ever, all is forgiven.

Also, Cal gets mad, probably hurts people.

THAT'S NOT THE PLOT!!!

Seriously though, episode owned. I really like Cal, I wish someone would just come out and be like "Dude's been experimenting nonstop on himself for several decades." I feel like everyone involved would kind of go "OOOOOOOOOH okay yeah that makes sense" and they'd handle him better. :shrug:

Hate to break it to the people who like him but I'm pretty sure Lincoln is some sort of mole in the Inhumans organization (for whom, I don't know)...considering we got the scene where Gordon and Skye's mom asked each other how it was possible that someone knew about Ethan and abducted him, and she figured that there was some sort of mole, and Lincoln is the only other character they've developed besides those two and Skye who would know about Ethan going on that trip.

I thought Hydra had some fancy tech that is tracking Gordon's BAMFs. There's a scene right before they jet off. My money is on CW guy being a mole/ends up divulging Skye family details to the Elders which will kick off lots of Inhuman drama instead.

Eventually Gordo's gonna make one snide comment too many and set Cal off on a rampage and I'll be damned if I might not be cheering him on.

The Inhumans at this point are getting about as bad as REALSHIELD. Skye's mom basically telling her "the humans aren't my concern" in response to Cal possibly going on a rage fueled murder bender is... probably not a great way to handle that situation.

Was no one else disappointed? After weeks of awesome buildup of tension and poo poo happening, this week felt like a wasted episode. We only have one more before Ultron and two more after that.

Almost nothing in this one actually happened. Sure, Muad'dad had a bunch of time with Skye, but even that felt really wasted. The fact that she got interrupted while trying to say the one important thing to him that needed to be said was just ridiculous.

They totally left agent 33 behind to infiltrate and make contact without jeopardizing Coulson. His responses were just way too curt for Coulson.

Unless there was something in the preview to say otherwise, because I didn't watch it.

Bakshi actually getting to do things other than getting played for a fool was nice to see, his intimidating villain factor really took a nosedive after the 3rd or 4th time he was completely bamboozled.

Also he's been shown to suck at keeping secrets, it only took him a few hours to accidentally divulge that Raina was there.

No, this episode was great. The producers have already said this show is not going to have a big Ultron tie-in. So people expecting that are only building themselves up for disappointment. The Winter Soldier tie-in was kind of necessary since it dealt with the very concept of this show, Ultron much less so.

Ward definitely elevates the show, sorry, but it's true. I really hope he doesn't go to the magical place.

Facial acting was amazing all around this episode. Jemma's sassy disapproval face/tone is a close second to Dalton's murder face.
