The drawing that Coulson (and Garrett) was doing is a variation of the chalkboard drawing that Ward (posing as Amador) took a picture of in Eye Spy.

Oh, interesting! Nice catch.

Reading some critics, you wouldn't imagine that AoS has actually had a coherent plant from day one. Some of them act like Winter Soldier was a huge surprise to the AoS writers.

Also, one of the people reviewing for the AV Club said that the "Incentives" were still a hanging question, but I thought that was made pretty clear (although they are probably different for different people).

Yeah, the Incentives thing was pretty clear to me, too. Every once in awhile I'll read a review and the reviewer will describe a scene completely differently than I saw it (and then likely complain about it being problematic or confusing) or ask a question that I thought was answered pretty clearly in the episode and I have to go "Huh?"

I would think someone actually reviewing something professionally would at the very least re-watch scenes they had issue with to make sure they play out how they thought.

I think they should make a thing of Patton Oswalt being at every secret base they encounter. And never explain it.

Multiple birth. Mother was exposed to some wacky chemical just at the right moment after conception, before the embryo(s) implanted in her uterus to cause division, who knows how many times. Clearly that chemical gave this set of genes the super power of maintaining sanity and reasonable standards during long periods of isolation while still being able to relate to people when they do show up.

Andi, I'm totally giggling over that and think it should be written in immediately.

Everyone's a hero in their own not-that-heroic way.

I was getting back into bed, when I had the kind of thought that you have to write down immediately or it goes away.

Fury pretty much had to clean up bits of Coulson's memory once the decision was made to bring him back to life, regardless of potential psychotic breaks. If he finds out what happened to his Captain America trading cards, he's going to want a whole 'nother conversation with Fury, more yelling included.
