The flowers on the dress have a hypnotic effect?
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Also, the thing with Coulson has to be something about the super soldier serum, right? Ever since Erskine died in Captain America, people have been trying to recreate it, but it keeps going wrong. That's how you got the Hulk, that's how you got Extremis, that's how you get the Centipede people who were blowing up.

Wait, I just watched. While it wasn't a giant revel,Coulson did come back wrong. They gave him one memory that we know of,but I got the feeling that there might be much more. They made the Coulson they wanted...so for example, is the cello player real? Coulson doesn't know. He can't trust his memory.
Coulson is experienced, but now he can no longer trust anything he remembers - which is why he wasn't ever supposed to know.
poor Mike

Well, the cello player was mentioned in the Avengers movie, so I think we can trust that. But did the Claivoyent pick up the information pre- or post-memory fiddling?
Next week we've got Phil mulling over things, so we'll see what else comes up.

Phil in "doubt everything" mode should be interesting.

I can't tell whether the inconsistencies in this show are on purpose or not.
For one thing, the bad guys and the good guys both use torture & threats to try to get information--but the bad guys (Reina) switch to persuasion and actually succeed! It's clear they're trying to make us suspicious of SHIELD, but SHIELD is also supposed to be smart.
I suspect something else happened in the first 6 procedures that Dr. Book wasn't privy to. What technology did they use, and why? I'm assuming they wanted to keep Coulson alive not because he's Coulson but because he was killed by Loki's scepter and there's something special about the effects of that. They wanted to keep studying it? Maybe he's got a special connection to Loki now? Dunno.
The business with the cellist was interesting--was Reina saying that the cellist was Coulson's mother (i.e., he misrepresented the nature of the relationship to people), or is it just that he was dating a cellist and his mother was also a musician?
I'm glad Peterson is alive, although it wasn't a surprise. His poor kid, though.
