Wow, I'm surprised they didn't go full-on "SIMMONS MAY DIE" on this one. Nice use of restraint, ABC.
Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers
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 definitely had a moment of "Shit is about to get REAL" when they wrapped up the case so early.
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?
I just accept that veracity (in science/history/whatever) is not always important to the storytelling.
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.
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.
If you're going to throw away the sandwich because it's stinky, throw away the wrapping too.
