So I watched that entire Captain America trailer thinking "Oh, this is the scene that ties that movie into the show!" And then it wasn't. And I was sad, because I was hoping for a Nick Fury scene.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was really irritated at that. If you're going to show a goddamn clip from the movie, then announce it as such so I can turn off the TV. I'm going to see the movie! I don't need any more convincing! Like you, I thought it would be a tie-in scene, but I realized it was too good to be a TV scene, and also randomly having a Nick Fury scene including Winter Soldier makes no sense in this particular episode.
But mostly Agent Hand and Agent Bill Pullman.
Aaaaand it looks like it's Agent Hand, as many had predicted. Strange that she's already showing her...hand.
I know we were supposed to have emotions about Skye becoming a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent but I kind of thought she already basically was? Also stop with this Ward/Skye crap.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
yeah, I don't think they really need to convince this audience to see that particular movie.
Hmmm, I find myself in total agreement with everything P-C said. Not a bad a position to be in.
Also, Brad Dourif still does creepy like nobody's business.

Golly, yes.
I am pleased that May wasn't the evil mole (she's clearly been reporting to Fury, not bad guys), but on the other hand, that would have been a nice HS moment.
So far I haven't been really truly surprised by hardly anything on this show. At least not in a good way.

I wish somebody would have stopped and reflected that they'd killed an absolutely helpless paralyzed guy who was set up by the Clairvoyant. Who was clearly aware of what was happening to him.

I thought that did come up, Theodosia. And then the other plot stuff moved away from it.

Everyone was fairly horrified, even if it was not explicitly stated why.

I took the horror as more related to the fact that Ward had shot a man in cold blood who posed him no immediate threat, regardless of whether he was paralyzed or not.
