I do not know enough about HP to put Ron into a role of an egghead.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm mildly amused that you guys are complaining about the sciencey stuff, and personally, I'm hung up on how Kyle can jump out of a fast-moving plane a minute or so after Simmons and freefall to anywhere remotely close to her vicinity.
On which note, I just discovered that they're showing Agents of SHIELD here in Australia on almost the same schedule as in America. So that's nice.

I wondered about that, too, but then he did the aim-like-Superman-flying thing, which I think is supposed to break all laws of physics.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think we were supposed to assume that her being all flaily and Ward being all aim-y let him catch up. Which I don't think is actually how it works. I'm also not convinced she would have survived the fall long enough for Ward to save her right before they splashed down - commercial planes fly at about 30,000 feet, most skydiving is done from around 10,000. Presumably a secret spy plane would want to fly above commercial flights to avoid detection and crashing.

I'm thinking less about the height and more that they'd already be something like 10km away from the spot where Simmons jumped out.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Off topic but related to jumping - there was a mid-air collision between two planes here the other day, but both were taking people up for skydiving so on the most damaged one the passengers were able to just jump out.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ha, Jessica! I was actually pleased with Simmons's pipetting.

Compassionately intolerant
At this point they have to be fucking with us re: ROBOT
Seriously!
"I'm a little rusty." "Heavy on the iron."
Sheesh.
Apart from that, I liked this episode best of all. Which makes me very happy because the last episode nearly had me breaking up.
I loved Simmons telling Fitz that he was the hero, and his expression right after she left was heartbreaking.
