I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, I had the but-it's-only-the-30-minute-mark bewilderment myself.

The ads did that thing where I could recognize the scenes and lines of dialog when they came up in the episode enough to think "that is so not what I thought that meant in the ad". I always enjoy that. Specifically, I think it was heavily implied they'd be going up against someone with an invisibility superpower.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Wow, I'm surprised they didn't go full-on "SIMMONS MAY DIE" on this one. Nice use of restraint, ABC.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I definitely had a moment of "Shit is about to get REAL" when they wrapped up the case so early.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think it was heavily implied they'd be going up against someone with an invisibility superpower.

That's what I was thinking based on the preview.

I liked the subtlety in this episode. No one said "Gemma, you're infected!" Coulson saw the thingy floating behind her, cautiously moved to the door, said he was sorry, and sealed her in. I know, standard "show, don't tell" but that doesn't happen often enough, it depends on people actually paying attention to the screen.

Fitz didn't have to say "It's killing me that this is happening to you," his speech about her being beside him was enough.

Did they change writers?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just accept that veracity (in science/history/whatever) is not always important to the storytelling.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Just watched. All I can say - I wasn't sure what was going to happen - which is so rare on television , that I was happy.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

What was on that photo at the end? I couldn't make it out but it seemed as if we were supposed to glean something.

In Skye's file? I thought it was a corpse. I'm thinking Shield had to take out her parents.

I'm continuing to dig the direction the show is going. It's finding its groove, and it's also doing much better distinguishing Fitz and Simmons! I liked how Fitz was unexpectedly competent and Simmons was unexpectedly incompetent. Also sandwich.
