I keep seeing ads for a new movie called "Fury" and I keep hoping for Nick Fury ... sigh ....
I do the same thing, Todd.
I actually liked the running pulse-check bit. Made me feel better about my resting HR, for one thing.
Next week looks super fun.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Yeah, this ep was good. I am not annoyed by Skye this season.
Me, still annoyed. She went from know it all hacker to psuedo-SHIELD. At least they acknowledged it in this ep.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm finding Skye (or maybe the actress) less annoying this season, but her storyline confuses me. Her skillset is communications - hacking into computer networks and reading people. So why is she being trained to beat people up and shoot them?
That said, I really enjoyed the ep. Lovely to actually see Simmons again, and damn, the Ward/Fitz scene was powerful stuff.

Because they're running out of people they trust who can do that.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
The Ward stuff confuses me. He's in prison, okay, and he still loves Skye, or thinks he does, and he wants her to be safe. All well and good. Is he repentant? Because especially after that last scene with Skye, I don't get that sense. I really don't get the sense that he wishes he hadn't gone along with whatever Garrett wanted.
No redemption without repentance, IMO.
I liked Simmons' storyline, although of course I'm worried about her.
I also spent a while in the beginning trying to figure out if Agent 33 was Hartley, but it wasn't. I'm still not convinced she's dead, anymore than Donnie Gill is dead.

I like that Ward is owning his evil. He is cooperating, he acknowledges he did wrong. I kind of admire him for being straightforward and not trying to wiggle out of anything.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My main problem with the episode was that every time they said Donnie Gill, I thought they were saying Johnny Gill.

damn, the Ward/Fitz scene was powerful stuff.
I tend to get really annoyed with Fitz (not just this season, but in general) and would have been okay if they killed him off in the finale last season, BUT I was really impressed with the Ward/Fitz scene.
Although the crazy survivalist beard is not Ward's best look. (I realize no one in SHIELD is stupid enough to give him a razor, so I get why the beard, but still.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
BUT I was really impressed with the Ward/Fitz scene.
Yeah. It's almost like we're getting to see the Topher storyline in between present and future Dollhouse. A scientific genius deprived of his mental acuity.

And he knows he's damaged. That's the worst thing. Coulson telling him he's getting better may be the only thing keeping him from supervillainy. If someone bad offers to make him better . . . I believed Simmons when she said her loyalty is to science. Fitz may come down the same way, willing to help someone mostly bad if he can get his brain back. I wonder where Skye's dad is going to come in on the good/bad spectrum.
