I think a car hitting an asphalt lump would still flip but seriously deform the lump. (Asphalt is not all that stiff and unyielding, hence the number of potholes, broken off bits and whatnot.) Still, you work with the materials at hand, so to speak.

Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.
I'm willing to hand-wave that as "this makes for a cool visual." I figure he easily could have been carrying a tire iron or whatever and absorbed that for the same effect.
I just thought it was concrete.
Teppy, I'm loving your phrasing on these comments.
New Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. tonight!
Huh.
So it's looking like Fitz realizes, on some level, the Simmons isn't actually there (though I was amused that his hallucination felt the need to argue for her existence to people who couldn't hear her.)
Also, hey, Mack actually got to participate in the episode. Also, good on him for bonding with Fitz.
Still lacking the funny (there were a couple attempts at jokes, but they fell really flat.)
I really hope the preview for next week was intentionally misleading.
The preview for next week was the most interesting part of this week's episode. I don't know, it's just kind of...grim and depressing.
I liked it, but I really have no problem with grim and depressing. I like that Coulson was honest with May, and I loved the cloaked planes at the end. I kept waiting for Kyle McLachlan to show up after his name was in the credits,so the end reveal of the girl with the flowered dresses (can't remember her name) working for him wasn't much of a surprise.

Their scenes together were great.
So...did the actress playing Simmons just really want off the show, or are we expecting a double-agent/mind control twist?
Nice Kyle Maclachlan appearance at the end! Pity he's sharing screentime with Reina. I missed his name in the credits. (Candy Crush, not just a second-screen addiction, it protect you from spoilers!)
Liked the bit about yoga. Hopefully they'll remember to be funny more often. This is a Marvel show, people! The fun comics universe!

I strongly suspect undercover, no mind control.
