hip deep in pie

Bill Paxton is just not a good actor. I'm sorry, but I said it.

Oh, I am totally in that corner.

Compassionately intolerant

Me too.

He plays the same character, which sometimes works, but not so much in this case.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I kind of love Garrett. He's so cheerfully evil.

He's like Ron Swanson with no moral compass. Or a moral compass with the polarity reversed.

I love the file transfer protocol. LOVE!

I also love that Ward was Hydra before he was Shield (although not quite as much). I will not be pleased if he does get redeemed. Unless they really really surprise me and totally win me over, I suppose. But even if that happens I think I will resent it. If it happens which I hope it does not.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I hoped I was wrong, but when I was not, I broke up with the show. Honestly. It was cheap, unnecessary emo-wringing and, frankly, working with abused dogs, like I have, I don't need to see the audience being schooled in how to prove you are tough by killing a loyal creature.

What did I miss? It looked to me like Ward let the dog go.

He did let him go once, but then...crosshairs/bang.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

What did I miss?

On re-watch: telescopic sight following the dog as it runs, loud mechanical sound as the scene shifts back to the plane in the present. The sound could have been a gunshot, could have been the release of the container from the plane, could have been both.

Was "Pablo Jimenez" a reference to anything?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

They come from warring factions on the planet of Winsome Big-Eyed Brunettes. Syke's parents were warriors of clan Just Say What You Mean, Goddamnit, while Raina's people hail from the Kingdom of Oblique Referrals.

This is AWESOME!

I actually thought when Raina said that Skye's parents were monsters "Skye's parents were Godzilla and Mothra?" then I realized it was the wrong country. That's how my brain works.

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

Possibly a reference to artists Pablo Marcos and Phil Jimenez.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I made a Photoshop of the large file transfer:

I assumed Garrett had the scope, as Ward had a pistol.
