I initially thought "Hey, it's The Train Job," then they went interesting. But why is Bill Paxton such a big deal?
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

I liked teh contrast between Too Much Explaining Simmons and Do What I Tell You and Do It Now Simmons.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I thought this week' SHIELD was pretty good. I liked the way they structured things.
Me too. I really dug this episode. The show knows that it works when it just pairs characters up. I enjoyed everyone in their combinations and badassery.
But why is Bill Paxton such a big deal?
Wait a second, was Bill Paxton in this episode?? Also don't you dare disrespect Lone St—wait that's Bill Pullman I always confuse them. I like them both, though.

They made a big deal of Bill in the preview for next week.

You don't know Bill Paxton from Aliens, Twister, Apollo 13, True Lies, Titanic...?

The name was familiar, but that was it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I thought this was one of the best eps they've done. I liked the flashbacks and split narratives.
I don't think the show has quite earned a sadness montage for Skye. Everyone's individual reactions when they were getting her into the hyperbaric chamber, yes. But I did not need a montage of everyone looking sad in slow-motion on the plane. That was a little much.
I like that we're seeing more of Ward-the-newbie lately. It's easy to forget sometimes that he was only promoted to Level 7 in the pilot.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I think I've figured out why I like Arrow more than S.H.I.E.L.D. It's not that Arrow is any less stupid, it's that they keep the always keep the plot moving forward, always keep things suspenseful, so you don't have time to dwell on how stupid one particular plot point is. I think the S.H.I.E.L.D. folks are starting to figure that out, too.

I liked the twist with the sleep grenade, not an actual portal. And May going "You looked stupid."
Does Quinn have a beef against Coulson in particular? Do I just not remember that? And when he says stuff like "The best money can buy", I really wish someone would say "I don't see Stark's name on there anywhere."

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Eh, it didn't catch me, but I was tired and the split up narrative (they fell off the train three times?) was confusing to my tiny brain.
