I look more rad than Lutheranism

It was cheap, unnecessary emo-wringing

It really was lazy writing, but it always works. (It's lazy writing *because* it always works.)

And yeah, whenever a dog is introduced in any storyline like this (I am looking at you, Matt Fraction's Hawkeye), I have to brace myself, because the dog ALWAYS dies (no Hawkeye spoilers here).

Unrelated to Buddy, I have to say -- for as many times as the show has brought up Magical Skye's Mystical Magic Sooper Secret Magical Mystical Origins, if there isn't SOME kind of payoff in the finale, I will be pissed. Otherwise, why keep bringing it up? Just get your goddamn superpowers, okay? Or GTFO. (I'm still not particularly a fan of Skye, although she has improved over the season.)

I may have to plead illness to get out of work in time to see the finale next week.

We have a standing dinner with friends the second Tuesday of every month that we've been doing for at least 5 years, possibly longer. And that's next week. I told Tim surely we could move it this month, right? (We don't watch enough TV to justify a DVR.)

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

Otherwise, why keep bringing it up?

Season 2 needs a plot!

Ugh. Has it even been picked up for a second season?

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

This episode did make Ward more interesting to me, at least. I still want him to die, though.

I would think they have to pick it up, it's a perfect vehicle for planting things that can be built off of in future movies.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I guess this episode definitely disproved the speculation that Simmons might be an unrevealed Hydra mole, if Garrett gave the kill order for both her and Fitz and Ward was willing to jettison them both.

Not really; Garrett was totally willing to let Ward die in the last episode. (Yes, he implied that he gave the order because he "knew" Skye wouldn't let it happen, but -- come on. He would have totally sacrificed Ward for the plan.) So Simmons could still be Hydra. I don't think she is, but she has been acting really oddly.

But would Simmons have kept cover even when being consigned to watery doom (yeah, right) by her superiors?
