What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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!"

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

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.

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

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?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

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.

I want to talk to the wardrobe department about how it doesn't cost a lot to make women look great.

That sequin dress? I could have sewn something better.

May look great in everything, but that dress was wearing her. Ugh.

Or maybe they figured that the shiny, shiny dress would distract Hydra?

I guess Phil didn't remember that he essentially told Hydra that he was in charge of New Shield. That was nicely downplayed, when 33/fauxMay realized what he was telling her.

Now, if the point was that the shiny, shiny dress would rebound/disrupt laser grids...well. then. That would make sense!

Yeah, Phil not only told HYDRA he was Director, but he was also concerned about something that he would need May to kill him over.
