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.)
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.
The hydra hypno-induction sounded so Dollhouse to me that it threw me out of the show. I was waiting to hear someone say, "Are you ready for your treatment."
I never saw Dollhouse, so it never pinged me.
Huh. I just did a Dollhouse re-watch, so the Fitz/Topher comparison is interesting. But Fitz has actual brain-damage, whereas Topher had a mental breakdown because of his role in causing the apocalypse.
I did not know who Ward was for the first few minutes of the first show's interaction with him because of the beard.
Actualy, with Fitz, I'm getting more "Flowers for Algernon" than "Dollhouse".

Oh yeah, I did say, "There are three flowers in a vase."

Still better than some of John Crichton's beards.
My main problem with the episode was that every time they said Donnie Gill, I thought they were saying Johnny Gill.
I KNOW! Me too. Did he just get paid?
