If you're going to throw away the sandwich because it's stinky, throw away the wrapping too.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

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...

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

Oh, they are absolutely fucking with us. I wonder what they have cooked up instead.

I did like that Coulson is becoming more skeptical of SHIELD's benevolence. He's really not on board with expedience being justification for failing to protect your people.

I think he didn't realize that till that bit with his flashlight, I think he was signaling the team that was supposed to be there.
I so hope it's a fakeout, re: "Is Coulson real or is he Memorex?"
edit: "I thought we weren't discussing it." "I'm not discussing anything."
That last scene was good, Phil's creeping suspicion and unease.
And I get all giddy when he's snapping at Skye.

Right, but that was before they disabled the Overkill device. He could have had Fitz disable the device, snuck away, and THEN activated the beacon to call in SHIELD.

Please let there be Tiki gods involved in Coulson's coming back.
