I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

So, no new Agents of SHIELD tonight?

I thought tonight was the new one with JAR.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

It's listed as a repeat on my DVR.

I think it's next week, and then hiatus.

Zap2it tells me it's episode 5:

Chan Ho Yin (Louis Ozawa Changchien) is a Hong Kong street magician who dreams of becoming something more. He reveals his secret pyrokinetic ability to a "girl in a flower dress" named Raina (Ruth Negga) who kidnaps him and then promises him fame in exchange for running a few tests on his powers. Upon being informed of Chan's abduction by his handler, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Quan Chen (Tzi Ma), the S.H.I.E.L.D. team attempts to trace his whereabouts. They find that it was the Rising Tide who leaked the information that led to his capture and the blame falls to Skye. She protests her innocence and believes she knows another hacker who could have released the info. They head to Austin, Texas where it is revealed that Skye has a relationship with said hacker Miles Lydon (Austin Nichols). They are both led back to the Bus in handcuffs while the team flies to Hong Kong to rescue Chan. Chan discovers his captors, who are associated with Project Centipede, are injecting him with Extremis which increases the strength of his flame powers. He becomes Scorch.

Oh, good, there's currently three inches of snow in the parking lot and it's still snowing, and I didn't want to worry about getting home in time for the start of the show. It's a Snowpocalypse (Minor) Miracle!

I could have sworn my DVR had it set as a new episode last night when I checked. Maybe they switched the epsiodes around.

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

He becomes Scorch.

"Great, they gave him a name."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Which made me wonder - if you give him a name, do you have to keep him? not that they wanted to get rid of him or anything ... at least not until they were through with exploiting him ....

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Just saw last week's. I am officially announcing that my panties are, indeed, in a bunch over the "because she's pretty and he likes her" character motivation choice. Bad writers. No cookie.

Further, damn, May. We've got a dude bouncing back and forth between dimensions and your response is, "Yeah, fuck that guy." Further, he stopped doing so because...he believed real hard? This is not Once Upon A Time. Not only no cookie, but also no milk for the writers.

The episode looked like it could be going in a really interesting direction, and then...no.
