That was the best reaction Simmons could have had to Aida. And Daisy. And the Watchdogs. Episode was a Simmons Own Zone.

God drat I love how everyone on this show acts like a loving adult. (Daisy's emo phase not withstanding) Even when SHIELD/NuSHIELD was at it's worse, they were still acting in reasonable ways you could respect.

Also let's be honest, Daisy is breaking her arms repeatedly because she thinks she deserves it. One of the first ways she tried to control her powers was to internalize it into self-harm. She needs to get some therapy for that it's not cool :smith:

I'm gonna admit to my eyes just glazing the gently caress over during the vast swaths of ghosty science exposition in this episode, but there were still so many fun/cool/great moments that I still had a ball with it.

It's an odd thing, the explosion of that fireworks store is probably the first time in film and TV where the resultant blast was UNDERSTATED rather than increased for dramatic effect.

Personally just loved at the beginning how Simmons just automatically pulled her gun suspecting shenanigans.

Also, not surprised that Red Skull was after the book. But I appreciated the Whitehall name drop. Season owns, all we need is Cal getting un-TAHITI'd to make this a Best Season Ever.

I love how everyone screamed 'ghost rider knock-off' at last season's fire chain, and here it ends up being where he gets it from.

Really, this show has just gone insane with what they've been allowed to adapt. If I had said 'Season 4, Quake vs. Ghost Rider' back in 2013, you would've called me high, and you probably would've been right.

It was absolutely intentional. Several of James's lines in this episode were directly taken from Overwatch:
"Stop me if you've heard this one before."
"This bomb's for you!"
"Well that's a fine how-do-you-do."
"It's a perfect night for a little mayhem!"
"I'm on fire! Well, more than usual."

So we had Fitz stabbing people and going hand to hand last week and Simmons pulling a gun and shooting people this week... I think our favourite little science buddies are all grown up :3:

The stuff this episode with Daisy and Simmons was kind of confusing in regards to where they were. You would assume the apartment was near the SHIELD base given the Fitz and Simmons were going to live there but Daisy had her van there, which means she drove. Which is an issue because her arm was still broken so you wouldn't think she drove across the entire country from LA.

Another good episode. Simmons was great in this one. And the car chase was great, including its conclusion.
Also I loved May's face when she finds out that she died "killed by Radcliffe".

Didn't Simmons technically administer the injection? I wonder if May would feel better about that?

They've been taking some geography liberties which is ok. I think they were in Virginia because there's no way that fireworks stand would exist in California. Daisy also says she ran into some watch dogs between episodes on the way to see Simmons so it can be assumed there was at least some heavy travel between leaving LA and seeing Simmons.

The base was also close enough for Coulson to have quick access to Washington (though I don't think they've really spelled out how fast Quinnjets go.)

Nice to see they didn't pull some silliness of Daisy being the team's enemy for half a season or more. Same with Robbie.

The more I see of him the more I like him and I hope they find some way for GR to stick around.
