So very tired of the Ward/Skye nonsense.
At least it actually serves the plot now, giving Garrett a way into the hidden base etc. And the previews make it look like Skye gets a clue next week.
Fitz is desperately jealous of Tripp, isn't he.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Super.
Like Kalshane, I find evil Ward more interesting, but Brett Dalton isn't really wowing me with Grant Ward vs. "Grant Ward."
Gravitonium is a really stupid-sounding name.

I wonder if Hydra will object to Garrett not being a true believer. Telling the guy he looked like a Texas cheerleader will not enamor him to the faithful.
And when is someone going to say "I wonder if Tony Stark has any cool gadgets that would be of use. Like, say, Jarvis?"

I didn't realize Garrett was based on a comic character. Which explains that mysterious metal plate.

That was Adrian Pasdar playing Major Talbot? I completely did not recognize him!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I didn't either. Nice.
I find Evil Ward much more good-looking.
I liked this episode. I'm very interested to find out what Garrett actually wants - he doesn't seem to be into Hydra's goals, who knows of anything he said as the Clairvoyant was true (and "change the world", what does that mean? Could be anything). And I feel for Coulson, trying to be a Good Guy when he has so little idea what is going on or who he can trust.

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.
Yeah, the cheerleader line was funny, but it will be interesting to see what happens when he runs into the HYDRA leadership.
I do find it interesting that Coulson was on the short list of people allowed to know Fury is alive, but May wasn't, even though she was spying on Coulson for Fury.
Also, I hope Fury wasn't relying on Coulson's badge for any other tricks. Oops.
ETA: I'm thinking the current situation is why Fury pulled out all the stops to resurrect Coulson and put in him charge of a semi-autonomous team. He knew something was wrong with SHIELD, if not exactly what, and needed someone like Coulson to help pick up the pieces when the shit finally hit the fan.

Yeah, he said as much in the previous episode -- that when he saw Hydra was coming into power, he switched his loyalty. I wonder when, though -- for how long was he a part of SHIELD before he found out about Hydra and switched allegience?

This struck me too. It's very odd.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That would make sense.
