'Same Time, Same Place'
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Ah. That. Well....HEY, LOOK OVER THERE! t /runs away
Ah. That. Well....HEY, LOOK OVER THERE!
Way, way over there.
Ha, Jessica! I was actually pleased with Simmons's pipetting.
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.

I really liked getting their backstory. In, like, three lines, their whole relationship made so much more sense. The fact that they'd been science buds BEFORE S.H.I.E.L.D. explains a lot.
