I was thinking more that Fitz had forgotten he loved her or something like that, the way he was snapping at her.
And where is Simmons, anyhow? Is that who Coulson was talking to about pay phones?
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

I'm very much not digging Skye's bangs. /shallow
I like them.
All that hype about Lucy Lawless and that's it?
I was thinking this too.
But, yeah, grim. I guess they had to prove "Yeah, we can do serous, we're not just the Marvel movies little spin off." But a bit of snark would be pleasant.
I thought there was a good amount of snark for a serious episode, especially since I watched it immediately after watching the Gotham premiere, which really really needs some snark imho.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that was fooled that Simmons wasn't real. I gasped at the reveal.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I had NO IDEA Simmons wasn't real! I felt horrible for Fitz, probable because losing one's intellect is a fear of mine, and my Dad is going through it.
I'm not sure Lawless/Hurley is dead. She looked unconscious, and pretty messed up, but one ep? I don't think so.
And Agent Carter! And the Howling Commandos! WOO! LOVE!
BTW, anyone know which Howling Commando was Tripp's grandfather?
And at the end, did they steal a general military sleath bomber, or a confiscated SHIELD plane?
UGH -- Sleepy Hollow and SHIELD both conflict with my yoga nights! SO STRESSFUL. Thank dog for DVR.

They specifically said they were after a quinjet.

The black one?
Seriously, his name was Gabe Jones.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Fitz-Simmons just broke my heart into teeny tiny pieces.
I'm not buying Skye being badass this soon, though. Even with May coaching her.

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.
Poor Fitz was heartbreaking even before we found out Simmons was imaginary.
If I were writing this, it would rather specifically be Fitz's brain's way of laboriously climbing back up to the top of its game. One thing for sure it is doing is functioning as a way for Fitz to retrieve words.

Didn't see it coming at all. That was really well done.
That Absorbing Man is a formidable asshole!
I don't know what to make of Ward but he seems weirdly genuine? I don't know.
I agree it could have used a bit more lightness, but it's a promising start.

I like the darker edge to things. It fits with how the show left off last season.
