A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

was that half an alien in a tube? Was Coulson (and apparently Skye) injected with alien goo?

That's what it looked like to me.

Suggestions as to the acronym? Our guess was "Take a hint -- ingest that ialien" (sounds like "alien" but with an Australian accent).

"Take a hint -- ingest that ialien" (sounds like "alien" but with an Australian accent).

I'm on board with that!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I am now deeply troubled as to which Australians you've been listening to.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I enjoyed the episode, though I have no idea what's up with the dead alien goo. It's like they were just trying to find something even creepier than the brain-surgery bot.

Writers' room:

"Okay, folks, what's creepy?"

"Ummm...I know! Alien!"

"What's creepier than an alien? Yes, you in the back?"

"HALF an alien!"

I'm afraid my reaction was "Yay, Coulson's not a clone! Huh, that's icky. I guess decent folks are supposed to horrified by this." Though finding out that the organization/man you work for has an agenda similar to the Cigarette Smoking Man's would be upsetting.

Selling out the world due to misdirected rage at failing as a pulp writer?

Yay, Coulson's not a clone!

I actually said, "What is that? ...is that a Coulson clone? ...HALF a Coulson clone???"

Tim: "You can't tell an alien when you see one?"

Me: "Not HALF an alien, apparently."

Tim: "It doesn't even look like Coulson!"

Me: "You'd look weird if you were cut in half and stuck in a jar, too!"

Does anyone really know Fury's back story?

More like, "Hm, here's something I can exploit, pity it's sentient. Not really." Though I could make an argument for "It was mostly dead, and look at the poor bastard anyway, it's half gone. Let's see what we can make of it."
