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

TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.
I lol'd at May walking right into the laser grid.
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.
So far Fitz has been breaking my heart every week.
Oddly, I'm okay with that.
(They need to use Trip more, though.)
it wasn't sexualized at all
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.
Well, Phil was being sad he was the only one to see it. But maybe he was just appreciating the martial arts.
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.
she didn't return them
I kind of thought she did but was more in the mode of "I love you, don't you dare kill yourself for me, dammit!"
Loved the May/May-be not fight - serious fighting, not a girlie cat fight (as so often happens).
And when they went through the lasers? I was thinking May's shiny dress might have been designed to reflect/deflect them.
I hope so, because my though was Why the HELL would you wear something so shiny on what might involve a lot of sneaking around?
No, I think Simmons was very clear to Fitz that he was dear to her, but she didn't love him romantically. I still wonder why they dropped what we saw in the pilot where Fitz was crushing on Skye.
Yeah, both HYDRA and SHIELD love sticking their logos on everything. It's what they do.
I'm not digging the HYDRA trooper uniforms. I mean, they're better than the green and yellow get ups from the comics, but they're still very goofy looking.
I will say this episode felt like a classic SHIELD story with the spy-vs-spy action between SHIELD and HYDRA.
