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.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
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."

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.)
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?
