Ah.
Thanks so much for the through-line. I totally missed that detail.
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

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.
There's been speculation that if the blue alien is Kree, the compulsive writing is caused by a connection to the Kree Supreme Intelligence.
Going back to Ward and the dog someone on another site pointed out the parallels between the dog and Fitz/Simmons. He couldn't bring himself to kill either while looking them in the eye, needing to distance himself with the rifle/turning his back to dump the container.

With FitzSimmons in the box, when Simmons said "We're going to die in here," I said, "Time for the wild monkey sex." When some of them mentioned monkeys, Hubby said, "Well, there's the wild monkey sex."
Gemma is so going to yell at Fitz for being noble and giving her the air!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In addition to the sassing, Season 2 needs more of May kicking ass. Really.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I don't buy the worry about Fitz. If SHIELD can give Coulson the fake TAHITI memories, surely they can repair a little oxygen-deprivation brain damage.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
"Heigh-Ho, Friends! The enemy approaches!"
I loved that perky little noisemaker.
I want to know exactly how Fitz is doing. That last shot of the team made me sad because he wasn't in it.
You guys covered pretty much everything else I wanted to say.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Which is a good juicy arc for Season 2, what are the results of the drug, how is Skye different, how did Raina hook up with Skye's parent, is Phil going nuts, how do we recreate SHIELD, how do we save Phil?
Lemme 'splain. No, is too much, lemme sum up....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can we stop white fonting? I'm still tweaking my OS X Chrome setup to make reading highlighting easy, but it conflicts with Windows. If it's not really a spoiler, go for it.
May shooting nails into Ward's foot nearly made me wet my pants.
I hope Deathlok comes back soon. Poor bubbie.

Oh, I shrieked in glee a little too.
edit: saving the day with Mike's kid was a great callback too.

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

That whole fight was AWESOME.

Brings the season full circle.
