I still think there's more to Coulson's return than just "You died. That means you ARE different." I'm still leaning toward Came Back Wrong.

Clark Gregg is so damn good at conveying so much through the tiniest of facial expressions.

When Melinda May kicked in the door of the barn, I turned to Tim and said, "I would leave you for her." He said, "I would follow you TO her." BADASS. The cookie interrogation made me laugh and laugh.

I'm still not a huge Skye fan, but I liked when she ran up and hugged Simmons.

Seriously, as if SHIELD wouldn't just falsify the blood test results.

What's-his-face-Fury-standin touched Lola!

I KNOW.

they can get antigens/antibodies and vaccine/antiserum right, but they show red blood cells instead of nerve cells? Oy.

She didn't say they were nerve cells, did she? The virus was electrostatic, but because it was ~*alien*~ I figured it traveled all through the bloodstream or whatever. Now that you mention it, however, hopping nerve cells does make more sense.

I still think there's more to Coulson's return than just "You died. That means you ARE different." I'm still leaning toward Came Back Wrong.

At this point they have to be fucking with us re: ROBOT because they know LMD is the prevailing theory.

Good episode. I really thought they may off Simmons, but I didn't want them to, and the last half with Fitz/Simmons was really good.

I really thought they may off Simmons,

It was kind of cool, thinking "I don't know if they'll go there or not."

It was funny that Simmons didn't know the protocol for the end of a Coulson Scolding. "Oh, does that mean we leave now?"

It was kind of cool, thinking "I don't know if they'll go there or not."

Adding to that thought was a Tweet from Elizabeth Henstridge where she said that it was a "crap episode."

She did say they were nerve cells, which is why I noticed. (I told the TV out loud, "those are RBCs!" followed immediately by telling myself to let it go.)

I was totally convinced that they were offing Simmons. Joss has me well-trained. So, I was pleasantly surprised to see her still around. Nice to get a little back story on those two.

I'm also still on the "Coulson came back wrong" train.

Ward and Skye bugged infinitely less than normal. It's great when they are not the heart of the story.

All in all, I enjoyed it and was glad it was back after it's micro-hiatus.

She did say they were nerve cells, which is why I noticed.

Oh my God, then, yes, holy shit those were obviously RBCs.

My issue was, of course, YOU CAN'T ISOLATE ANTIBODIES IN TWO HOURS. One day they will show electrophoresis on television. One day.

Titus Welliver, who played the Fury-alike, also played War on Supernatural, and drove a cherry red mustang (War rides a red horse). Him touching Lola was a sort of callback for me, but I'm sure it was only me.

For PC and Una: That's Not How You Pipette

I think it's hilarious that after my "WHY AREN'T YOU BETTER, SHOW?" rant a few weeks ago, the last two eps have basically been EXACTLY what I wanted. So I'm glad I stuck it out!

I was 50/50 on whether Simmons would die or heroically rescue herself. It did seem a bit early in the series' run to be doing A Hole In The World already.
