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".

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."

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?

New Agents of Shield tonight! and the previews ... well, if you haven't seen them, it look like fun!

Coulson is a man of many layers.

Ugh, we missed the first 10 minutes. We came in while Coulson was flirting talking with Talbott. What happened before that? Why do they want to steal a painting?

t edit And it just hit me that Talbott was talking to Hydra Reed Diamond WHAT THE HELL?

Ugh, we missed the first 10 minutes. We came in while Coulson was flirting talking with Talbott. What happened before that? Why do they want to steal a painting?

May being awesome.

They want a painting because May is awesome?

That's weird even for this show.
