I just accept that veracity (in science/history/whatever) is not always important to the storytelling.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

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.

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

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The show is making it SO obvious that Coulson's a robot, that I'm starting to think that it might be a fake-out.

I think it has to be, given the medical tests he got a few episodes back. Surely Simmons would have noticed if he weren't human.
I admit my primary response to this episode was, "You can't do that with that plane!" I suspect I'm not completely on board yet...
