I really think think the lead-up to Winter Soldier last season hurt the show enormously.
Nods emphatically. However, I DO thing it's hit its stride. The May/May-be Not clone fight was awesome. And Fitz! My heart!
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

I was hoping Fitz would complain about the crap beer at least.

And Coulson lamenting that no one else can watch the May on May action.

I'm all for branding, but why does Hydra have to have their logo all over everything? May wouldn't have been on alert if she'd been looking at a boring manila folder.

I was thinking it was stupid for the Hydra goons to have the tasteful little Hydra logos on their uniforms.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I lol'd at May walking right into the laser grid.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I thought the episode was pretty fabulous and I agree that it feels like it's hitting its stride now.
I laughed out loud at the whole exchange about Mac's exes and the year he pretended to like quinoa. Also I noted they didn't mention the gender of his exes, so maybe they'll make him gay!
I love that they had a fight between two women, one of whom was in her underwear, and it wasn't sexualized at all. Just a fuckin' BRAWL.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
So far Fitz has been breaking my heart every week.
Oddly, I'm okay with that.
(They need to use Trip more, though.)

Well, Phil was being sad he was the only one to see it. But maybe he was just appreciating the martial arts. I wasn't paying attention--was that Agent 33?
I'm really enjoying the Coulson/May relationship.
edit: re: Fitz--does he just think Simmons doesn't love him? Or is it true? I'm so sad that that relationship is in danger. She disappeared when he went to bond with the others. But he needed to join the others.

Yeah, that could have gone either way.
I wasn't paying attention--was that Agent 33?
Yes. She mentioned being part of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Fitz--does he just think Simmons doesn't love him? Or is it true?
He confessed his feelings when they were both going to die and she didn't return them.
