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

I can't see how it would make any difference. The dogs are tracking you, you have plenty of smell for them to follow.

Indeed. Dog noses are like a million times better than ours. A ham sandwich isn't going to make a big difference.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I think Ward was just jealous that no one liked him enough to pack him a lunch for a dangerous mission.

I laughed my ass off when Fitz was all "Can you ask him what beers they have on tap?" when they got to the Russian bar.

OK, so it looks like Agent Hand expected Coulson to find out about the plan and rescue his team? And... it's OK that Simmons shot a superior officer while stealing classified information? I gotta rewatch tomorrow to figure out what the hell all that was about.

And it seems like SHIELD had to kill Skye's parents for whatever reason and then brought the baby to the orphanage.

I don't know what the hell Hand's endgame with Coulson is. There was some weird stuff happening there.

I loved Ward and Fitz's storyline. Loved it.

'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"

My WEG (wild-eyed guess) is that May is Skye's mother (it helps that the Skye actress is half-Chinese IIRC).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I don't want FitzSimmons together because I don't see any spark there. I can see the show trying to force it the way they are with Ward and Skye, and I just can't imagine it being anything but horrible and awkward to watch onscreen.

Plus, it's too easy. Put the nerds together in this corner and the snarky hotties together over here! SO boring. There's a reason Willow/Oz was such a beloved ship. Matched sets aren't interesting television.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Either she is Skye's mother or she killed Skye's mother. I mean, right?

I'm voting for killed.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Unless it's both. Skye had two mommies!

Loved Coulson's "talk" with May. Was it just me, or was that the same form Buffy and Angel did together?

I am also mildly disappointed by the UST. I wanted science buds.

Why the hell didn't Agent Cold McGlasses Lady just assign Coulson's team to do the extraction? Because they didn't have the clearance to know? Or was it some test of Coulson? And if so, did he pass or fail?

I liked that Coulson doesn't have clearance to learn about his own recovery. I think putting that at the end of an episode that was all about secrets and hierarchy and whether or not to trust the two really amped up the gut punch of that tag.

The look of creeping dread on Coulson's face hurts. And is wonderful.

Shit, I totally just failed that "How is the kid the son of the ER doctor????" thing, huh.
