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.
'Serenity'
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 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.
Also, hey, Mack actually got to participate in the episode. Also, good on him for bonding with Fitz.
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.
Did I mention that I saw Ruth Negga outside the Kate Bush concert and she's weer than wee. The internet says she's 5'3", but I'm 5'4" and I felt like I could have put her in my pocket.
I kinda like that Agent Xena was killed, the cast was feeling a little bloated. And Yay for Fitz remembering that he had the answer and being able to get the information out.
And I'm thinking Simmons is undercover for her own revenge on Hydra and that's who Phil was talking to last week.
This week felt a little lighter . The old cloaked ship routine was fun.
I was sure Harley wasn't dead!
But I loved the ships reveal, and the yoga line.
I'm too tired to say more -- except Flowered Dress Woman in Reina.
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.)
I think that the two together make Andi's case for his brain doing it as a coping mechanism while he heals.
ITA.
I like that Fitz has someone who, if not his other half, can work with him to get things done.
