Book ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.

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.
In the Gravitron episode, didn't they mention they had had Dr. Gravitron as an instructor at university?
One day they will show electrophoresis on television.
HA!
"Why are you surfing the Internet? There's crime to be solved!"
"I'm waiting for the gel to run."
(I totally noticed the implausibility of him catching her in the air, too, but I was still in the midst of reminding myself not to science too hard at a comic-book-based TV show!)
In the Gravitron episode, didn't they mention they had had Dr. Gravitron as an instructor at university?

I'm still voting cyborg.
I find it interesting that everyone who hasn't been enjoying the show that much thought this episode was fabulous. Since I have been adoring the show, but thought this episode was just okay.
I didn't notice the red blood cells-for-nerve cell switch, but I was rolling my eyes at the pipettors with tips attached sitting in the stand. Then, again, I'm used to molecular biology lab stuff being done wrong.
(I still remember an episode of the X-Files where Scully was running a gel-can't remember if it was a Southern blot or sequencing- in an improbably short amount of time. )
Oh dear, I didn't notice those.
Catching up on the latest, it's making me weepy, that also might be the wine and the pms'ing.
