I definitely had a moment of "Shit is about to get REAL" when they wrapped up the case so early.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

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

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
If you're going to throw away the sandwich because it's stinky, throw away the wrapping too.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
This show just keeps getting better. Good for you, show!
Loved Coulson's pep talk with May. Loved "the world's most dangerous sandwich." The open was shamelessly plagiarized from Avengers, but it's a good bit, so why not reuse it?
Unclear on how Skye's wristband actually works, if she was able to use a laptop?
Also, if Ward knew there was no extraction team, why not get clear before setting off the beacon that would trigger the SHIELD attack?
Poor existentially angsty robot Coulson.
