Can season 2 just be Fury and Coulson being smartasses? I would watch that.

Well, you should have (Teppy-fonted for her protection) Patton Oswalt in there somewhere if you want smartass. Glad to see him back.

I was confused by Garrett's appearance post-stomp, since I thought he'd been boxed up and removed,

You think they might have warned his guard they considered it a possibility (I was pretty sure I saw a dead guard there by the box). However -

but the payoff was worth it.

- is so very, very true.

"Found it!"

And the return of the bigass gun! He knows what it does now. Brilliant.

OK, that was fun! More of that next season please.

More: The callbacks were excellent, especially the big ass gun, and Fitz saying "It's a SHIELD frequency, no one's listening to it." Oh, but someone is!

And Fury obviously has some sort of organization going, to supply the chopper and med crews etc.

I wonder how much ULTRON runup they'll be doing.

I loved that Coulson knew what the gun did. And the final takedown was very Jossian in its undercutting of bombasticness.

The final shot of the new team was a sharp contrast to the old team: only one white guy now.

I would love it if we never saw Ward again. That's more fitting than any half-assed redemption arc.

I really want to know what could be in that leeetle tiny box that would build an org 'from scratch' .

I'm with Connie. If Patton is back (yay!), then there is some sort of structure in place, right?

This was my favorite episode ever, I have to say. I too hope that we get more of this next season.

So good, so good, so good! EEEEEEE!

That’s pretty much all I’ve got other than what everyone else said. I’m all gleeful!

So very much fun! God help me, I even liked Skye in that.

(...don't let the door hit ya, Ward.)

Bonny, I would say that this is leftover structure, not new structure. When SHIELD fell, the guys like Koenig just stayed where they were, because they never got orders to come in.
