Hmm, Highway to Hell is a terrible choice of music but shrug.

I'm just glad for the complete absence of Skyward.

Agent Triplett is only recurring role on SHIELD.

B.J. Britt (the actor who plays Triplett) already has a role on another TV series called "Being Mary Jane," plus other movie roles he's working on. Britt is also rumored to be in "Age of Ultron."

I'm so bummed. I was hoping for a permanent Triplett for Ward exchange. Triplett-FitzSimmons romance is much more amusing than Skyward.

I love how Xena spent a bunch of interviews telling us about how interesting her character is, how she has all this backstory with Coulson that they are going to explore, etc, and the whole time she was lying to our loving faces.

gently caress you, Xena.

Haha that's pretty funny. I'm hoping they do something with magical alien artifact to bring her back :(

Comic-magic might bring her back or something, who knows? It does seem weird to chop off her hand then kill her anyways.

Based on the dramatic camera lingering on Xena's arm at the end, I believe that they will regrow her from her arm.

Was Simmons being AIM a popular fan theory or is that just a thing I read in this thread?

Some thought she was HYDRA due to that seen about "lying" and her saying something about getting better at it or something like that, I don't remember it exactly.

Yeah that's the scene I was thinking of. I remember people throwing out Hydra or aim. It was when she was in the lab with Triplett just after Hydra poo poo was going down at headquarters.

That was like a Buffy-style filler episode, where it's so full of important character development and setup that it feels indispensable. The Fitz/Ward scene literally got me on the edge of my seat.

I don't really think 'filler' is the right term. Can't it just be a normal episode? Not everything has to be a big series changer. Anyway, this episode is what I signed up for. A good monster of the week episode with character development in the background. Also the crappy CGI is starting to grow on me. It's especially hilarious when they've demonstrated that they can on occasion not have it super crappy (Absorbing Man).

There is no way we make it through this season without Ward escaping. Either by his own initiative, or by Skye letting him out so he can take her to her father when events dictate that it is important to find him.

I'm a fan of Fitz going evil scientist and inadvertently (or not) releasing Ward plot line. As long as we avoid a Simmons gets brainwashed and then has amnesia when she's rescued plotline I'm happy.

Hunter mentioned his ex again in this episode. I still think there's a chance that she will be Mockingbird!

Oh I'm dumb and keep assuming it's Xena. It'd make more sense if she was currently alive and could show up again.

I think the only thing is they can't refer to them as Magneto's children.

My brother and I were wondering how they were gonna address this. So it sounds like the MCU will just ignore that point altogether?

The fan base is going to stroke the gently caress out if this show actually offs Coulson again.

That will solve the 'why won't he tell Tony' questions.
