I miss the days of Coulson having all the toys he wants at his command.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I like it better now. Too many toys and too many allies, and it eventually just looks too easy.

I'm curious as to which Ward brother is the bigger psychopath.

Also, as soon as Coulson handed Ward off to nameless lackies, I knew he was going to escape.
I was really irritated by this. I mean, he's the fucking superspy, your best and brightest, and you have random lackeys transporting him? With regular cuffs?
They should have just drugged his food and knocked him out and he would have woken up in the Senator's basement. Good news is that it was the General's people, so they can't blame SHIELD.

The way they focused on the cuffs, it seemed very significant.

And obvious. At one point, wasn't he in a full body chain? Why did they take it off? Why did they take the hood off?
Joss, I expect better from you! At least a throwaway line about how Coulson wanted them to take more precautions. That "don't give him an inch" bit was not sufficient.

The end of FitzSimmons is sad. But so telling that Fitz is very nearly fine if he's not talking to Simmons. His imaginary Simmons was helpful, but Real Simmons isn't. And she's turning into a badass.

Why did they take the hood off?
Pretty sure Coulson's playing a double-game. Possibly a triple one.
I mean, it was awesome to see him call out Ward for what he is--murderer and traitor--but I also think Coulson knows Ward well enough to use him. If Ward takes advantage of the chance to escape, well, it's not on Coulson's watch, and if he goes after Senator Ward, that's okay because I'm pretty sure Coulson didn't believe everything Christian said, either.
That said, I hope Coulson would at least feel bad about any of those guards getting killed by Ward. Even if they are the Senator's men (or Talbot's).
As for Bobbi and Hunter, seems like they're setting them up for a reconciliation, what with the tag-team fighting they're so good at. Which I would be happier about except I don't like Hunter any more than May does...

I kind of like Hunter. The show needs a snarky couple.
And yes, I figure Coulson's up to something re: Ward. I wonder who Ward will go after first, Skye, Coulson, or his brother? Or Skye-Daddy?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I was expecting that the team transporting Ward would turn out to be Hydra or that his brother had hired them to get him out and turn him loose. Or maybe bring him to his seekrit lair to lock him in the dungeon. But when I saw the shots of his hand, I figured he'd slip out of the cuff and wreck havoc.
I'm sad that FitzSimmons is no longer a thing and that she makes him worse, rather than better.
But I'm enjoying Bobbi/Hunter - they work well together and he'll follow her. Watching her walk away - woman's got a spine of STEEL.
