I...thought that was the cellist. Except the dying part.
Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.
OK, now I'm really confused. I thought that story was about the cellist girlfriend, too. Isn't that the story Coulson told somebody (Ward? JAR?) about the cellist girlfriend in Seattle?
Anyway, I totally missed this whole thing while watching the show. I must've just been tuned out because I don't like flowered dress girl.
And in related but not entirely on topic news, I find myself overusing the word "totally" nowadays out of an extreme desire to say "totes magotes" but also an aversion to saying "totes magotes" because I'm not 9, so then I default to "totally" and it's just as bad because I'm not a valley girl. It's sad, y'all.
The whole thing about the cellist comes from The Avengers. (Portland.)

Me, too.

If it's good enough for James Earl Jones, it's good enough for all of us. TOTES good enough.
I'm pretty sure Reina mentioned his mother, but I'd have to watch again to be sure.
She mentioned that his father died when he was young, and that his mother died recently.
I just watched the episode and I figured out what's wrong with this show: It's not fun!
Buffy dealt with heavy stuff but brought the fun, too. I want Coulson to be less serious all the time. I'm sure the actor can handle the switches as well as SMG could.
Also, Raina did mention that he's lost his mother but when she was talking about the woman who cried for days after his death, she was talking about the cellist.
You are right. There is no one who is witty who cracks good jokes. There have been some practical jokes but no extended great snark.
Just watched last night. I agree that the Coulson reveal was a let-down, but I have to think that 1) there's more to it than we saw. 2) The bigger question is why Fury would got to such drastic and horrifying measures to resurrect Coulson. As Hand repeatedly asks, why does Fury have so much interest in one agent?
Otherwise, I enjoyed the episode, and Skye emulating May was great, as was her having to get random security guy to use the computer because the big shot exec was clueless.
Not sure about the newer, darker Fitz. Seemed a little sudden, recent field mission or not.
I definitely think the Mike Peterson reveal was more shocking. (Not that he was alive, but rather the eyeball implant.)
