Melinda May's stance with the guns reminded me of River's pose in Serenity. Also, the scene where they're driving the car onto the plane, reminded me of Firefly.
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
The whole plane thing reminds me of Serenity. Also, nice post-credits thingy.

The whole plane thing reminds me of Serenity.
That bit with the shock grenadey thing coming out of the stick reminded me of Simon breaking River out of the labs in Serenity, too.

Was the post credit scene the one with Samuel L Jackson or did my DVR cut something off?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I liked this episode a lot. Ward learned his lesson about teamwork awfully fast, but I'll put that down to his superior intelligence. Skye acquitted herself well, and I'm going to assume that SHIELD is monitoring her communications. May remains a stone badass, and Fitz-Simmons are annoying but that's okay, they're supposed to be. Coulson is the coolest of all. Planes don't really explosively decompress like that, but okay, it's an established trope. I like how they're still throwing in references to their greater world of superheroes and its history.
Photon emissions? That's light, Fitz, don't try to snow me with yer jargon!

I was honestly expecting some reference to getting Stark to rebuild the plane, or admitting to Stark that it had gotten broken already.
and I'd like to see a scene where Coulson's doing something casual and then Jarvis says, "Good morning/evening, Agent Coulson, you're looking well" and Coulson says "Thank you, Jarvis" and then either looks horrified or casual.

Well THAT was FUN! Really enjoyed this more than the first episode. Next week looks pretty good too. And loved the Nick Fury cameo. I suspect that's the first non-interview/award first-run TV appearance Sam Jack has done in a long time. May Joss' rolodex only grow and grow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Someone just replied to a post about "It's a magical place." with "doppelderp" and I don't know if it means something precisely, but it seems to fit quite precisely.

Yes.

That's what I meant by this:
Ward has Simon's boomstick!
But with fewer words and less sense-making.

It's a little "marzipan in your pie plate bingo". The "magical place" tic, not the "doppelderp." Doppelderp is a good word for it.
