Everyone's a hero in their own not-that-heroic way.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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.

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.

I think they should make a thing of Patton Oswalt being at every secret base they encounter. And never explain it.
Perhaps a potential Orphan Black crossover?

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.
Actually, I'm pretty sure Coulson had a throw-away line about the cards early on in the season.
ETA: Found it. Episode 3.
Grant Ward: I know Director Fury felt he owes you after you scarified yourself.
Phil Coulson: And my card collection

OK, I just watched Frozen again, and someone needs to make a Ward/Skye vid to "Love Is An Open Door".
Also a Zelena vid to "Let It Go", but that's off-topic here.

Finally got to see the last ep, and that was super fun. Nail gun! Exploding Bill Paxton! The Coulson/Fury snarkfest! I'm worried about Fitz, though. I wouldn't have guessed it at the beginning of the season, but FitzSimmons are probably my favorite characters now, and I'm totally sold on their relationship. I'll be very curious to see how different the dynamic might be between them if Fitz is no longer able to keep up with Simmons intellectually.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
There's been speculation that if the blue alien is Kree, the compulsive writing is caused by a connection to the Kree Supreme Intelligence.
Lady Sif specifically told Coulson that the Kree had never visited Earth, nor any of the blue species of alien. But she could be wrong, of course. Or maybe it's a different blue alien.
Every time I hear Kree, I think of Stargate SG-1 and the Jaffa.
I think they should make a thing of Patton Oswalt being at every secret base they encounter. And never explain it.
I want this.
I was so-so on the show until the last couple episodes, but now I'm looking forward to Season 2. The Coulson/Fury Snark Show never gets old. Neither does May kicking ass. They better not kill or otherwise diminish Fitz! Just no. I'm sure we'll see Ward again, but I can't imagine how they'd redeem him after all this. I expect him to be a Big Bad.

I'd sort of like to see some Ward-Deathlok/Mike interaction, where they share different sides to the "I did bad things for what seemed reasonable reasons at the time" discussion. Of course, Mike has all sorts of moral high ground over Ward, but Mike is also the only person who might give Ward any kind of hearing. "They were going to kill my son if I didn't cooperate. I think that trumps a father figure that you didn't want to disappoint. There's the whole enthusiasm factor involved, as well."
Unlikely to happen, but Ward's not going to be locked up forever.
