that the brain machine was downloading the last upload of Phil Coulson--complete with "Let me die" into the "brain" of a Life Model Decoy.
Me, too. Or a clone, or something. Or he had to punch his way out of his own grave.
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

he had to punch his way out of his own grave.
Wrong show.
Or they could go with "He didn't come back right" or "He brought something back with him."

ION, I quite liked Skye tonight.

Thrive to spite them
I haven't been watching the show, so I don't really know everything that has been going on.
I liked Skye mimicking Melinda, and then Melinda's comment about the nice jacket. Plus the "don't touch Lola" comment as she went out the door.
I may be a little confused because I can't remember if Dr. Book was implying that Coulson was awake/aware during ALL 7 procedures or just during the last one. I couldn't tell if the lost the will to live part was from bringing him back or from subjecting him to multiple painful procedures (presumably against his consent) or just to being brought back to life.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So, I guess I’m done with S.H.I.E.L.D. now. Maybe I’ll watch the Winter Soldier crossover, but other than than, I just so don’t care.
Also, an airplane making a K-turn? That will shave, like, 30 seconds off of the total flight time?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The problem is they'd primed us to expect something HUGE for Coulson being Brought Back Wrong, so to find out that...it really is Coulson, they brought him back apparently with medicine, but then gave him fake memories of Tahiti? Wha?
And come on, they couldn't have sent him to REAL Tahiti afterwards to recuperate? Fuck you, SHIELD.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
No, it would add many minutes, decelerating then accelerating again.
A standard-rate turn, which is pretty gentle, completes a 180-degree heading change in 60 seconds. An aggressive bank can reduce that by a lot. With vectored thrust, even more. Fun experiment -- how many g's can the passengers take? And that's in coordinated flight, not yawing around slinging your people and cargo about.
Maybe it was a shout-out to Firefly? It was just as silly there.

How else are they going to show how cool the Bus is?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
All I'm really left with is "Poor Mike Petersen." I actually yelled "No!" at the TV.
Yeah, I said, "Oh shiiiiiiiit."
The Coulson reveal was a letdown, but I liked the rest of the episode.

I guess they get kudos for "Hm, the Coulson thing may not have been as big as we were thinking it would be, better amp up the OS factor somewhere else and distract them."
