I am concerned where they're going with Fitz this season. Not the brain damage, per se, but the darker turn to his personality. I really hope he doesn't end up turning on the team because he feels mistreated.

I wouldn't want to see that either. OTOH if he wants to actually kill Ward, I'd be fine with that.

Wow! People are actually answering questions mostly honestly!

Suspense, revenge--and do we believe Ward is really sorry?

Oh next week looks fun. It's always startling when Coulson is sexy, And lovely.

As much as I was cheering for suffocating Ward, I am glad Fitz didn't go there.

Simmons did quite well under Hydra questioning, and I don't think she lied once.

I was a little disappointed there wasn't a voiceover after the first act that said "Tonight's episode is sponsored by Fitbit."

As Amyth is my witness, I asked about their product placement credits while watching last night.

HA! I was thinking the same thing!

Yeah, this ep was good. I am not annoyed by Skye this season. I loved seeing what Simmons was up to, although, wow, sending her in to do undercover at Hydra really shows up how down people they are, because as competent as she is, she would never be my first choice for undercover (which might be an argument for her being an excellent choice for undercover, now that I think about it) and poor Fitz...argh, I love him.

Next's week's teaser had me squealing with glee, it looks so fun.

I liked that Skye was able to calmly take the shot and that she was able to admit that she was upset by it. I admit that I'd forgotten she was there with a rifle until Donny got shot. I was also surprised--then surprised at my surprise--that the team knew where Gemma was. There's actually no reason for them not to know where she went.

I noticed in Winter Soldier that Steve has Level 7 clearance. Ward didn't find out about Coulson surviving till he was given Level 7. So now I'm wondering if Steve knows Phil's alive and is keeping quiet out of general "we don't talk about secrets" prudence.

There's a thought, Connie.

RDJ keeps teasing that he would like to cameo on SHIELD; I wonder what level of clearance the various Avengers have in SHIELD. I mean, Romanoff's gotta be pretty high, but I wonder about the others. Thor's probably pretty low-level, but Stark has to have some kind of clearance...or the ability to just hack his way into stuff. Banner's gotta have some clearance. Hawkeye? He's gotta be pretty high.

With the continuous talk about supplies for the group and stealing Hydra's stuff, Phil is bound to think "I need to hit up Start for some toys. I'm the director now, I can decide if I want to stay dead. He'll only shoot me a little."
