Yeah, the Ops board should have been huge. I thought they said the boards were department specific.

But yeah, Agent Avery was listed there. Huh.

I thought this episode was much more like it. It moved fast, brought a little funny and had some interesting character development. I want to go to all the SHIELD academies now to see what they are like. And I didn't even mind Skye with Ward now that they've backed off on the romance angle.

Quinn is a much more engaging nemesis than flower dress girl, but damn, that Clairvoyant gets around!

Was Quinn the same guy from the time Skye infiltrated that house in Monaco?

Donnie is an Iron Man villain! Called Blizzard, of course.

Hey, remember when the Rising Tide was at all relevant?

I was really sleepy but I liked the episode. I continue to enjoy Skye: "That's not a SHIELD term. It's a just a term."

Was Quinn the same guy from the time Skye infiltrated that house in Monaco?

Yeah, although I didn't remember until the end, mostly because he reminds me of Tamoh Penikett and I kept having to remember that it wasn't him.

Oh, yeah, I thought I remembered Quinn, I forgot that he got away at the end of that first one.

mostly because he reminds me of Tamoh Penikett and I kept having to remember that it wasn't him.

I thought he looked sorta like Richard Armitage's blander and more boring brother. He's got one of those unmemorably handsome faces. Like whasshisbucket that plays Big Dick Paul in Orphan Black.

Is it at all canon somewhere that Bucky was in SHIELD, or did they totally make that up?

I assume it was the point of the backstory about how SSR became SHIELD.

So Bucky wasn't in SHIELD because there was no SHIELD, but the organization he was in, as a Howling Commando, later became SHIELD and SHIELD adopted him as one of their own, long after he was dead.

I'm not clear on why Skye would know the name, unless she's a major Cap fangirl, though.

I was figuring the SSR connection too, like this is part of the Winter Soldier run up.
